Report Reveals Russell Brand's Misconduct Was Tolerated by TV Producers
An investigation found informal complaints about Brand's inappropriate behavior on several shows were ignored or dismissed.
- Brand allegedly engaged in inappropriate behavior, including walking around naked and making crew members wait outside his dressing room while he masturbated.
- Staff concerns were raised informally but were not properly escalated or addressed by senior management.
- The investigation found no formal complaints, but evidence suggested a culture of tolerance towards Brand's actions.
- Brand's behavior included asking runners to obtain phone numbers of female audience members and having consensual sexual relationships with staff and audience.
- Banijay UK, which acquired Endemol, apologized for the lack of adequate response to the concerns raised.
