Russell Brand calls the accuser of having a faulty memory and one who can’t identify acting from reality as the actor continuously denies all the sexual charges against him

Russell Brand is standing firm about his version of the truth and has claimed that the woman who has accused him of sexually assaulting her while on the set of one of his movies has a “faulty memory” of the actual incidents.

The actor also lashed out and called the woman as someone who is “unable to distinguish acting from reality.” These were all included in the legal papers where Russell denied all the accusations made against him.

The comedian was accused of exposing himself to the woman while employed on his movie, Arthur, in July 2010, with the specific location of the incident being at New York’s Le Cirque restaurant.

Based on the court documents that the woman submitted – now referred to only as Jane Doe – during the day of the incident when the political commentator assaulted her in the bathroom, the production staff were just outside the door and guarding it.

In response to this, the actor’s legal papers claim that Russell does not in any way recognize the woman, nor does the actor recall speaking to her.

During the time of the incident, Russell was still engaged to singer Katy Perry, and he has also faced several other accusations associated with improper behaviour like emotional abuse and rape. All these were constant from 2006 to 2013, and Russell denied all of these allegations.

In the papers that were provided to the court, Jane Doe, who worked as an extra in the movie Arthur, claimed that Russell “appeared intoxicated, smelled of alcohol and was carrying a bottle of vodka on set.”

In the movie Arthur, Russell plays the titular role of Arthur Bach, a drunk millionaire. For his defence, Russell stated, as reported by BBC, that it is his job to “act drunk” but was insistent that he was always sober.

The legal papers further pointed out, “Famously, the character, Arthur Bach, originally played by Dudley Moore in the 1981 comedy, Arthur, is a drunk. Brand, an actor and comedian, played the same role in the 2010 remake. While Brand’s job was to act drunk and portray a drunk in the film, he did not drink a sip of alcohol or consume any drugs at any time during production.”

Russell’s legal representative further emphasized that his client and the “open alcohol bottle” were nothing but a prop to the movie and that Russell had not taken any alcohol or drugs for the eight years of the filming.

Due to this, Russell’s legal team added that “Jane Doe’s faulty memory of the events she alleged in her complaint – more than 13 years after they supposedly happened – is fatal to her claims.”

During Jane Doe’s interview with Sunday Times last year, she mentioned feeling disgusted after the attack, stating, “I felt used and abused. Disgusting is the only word. I felt like I was being used that I was just an object for his momentary titillation.”
