'HE WENT TOO FAR' Dannii Minogue calls Russell Brand ‘vile predator’ after incident on show

DANNII Minogue claimed shamed comedian Russell Brand “wouldn’t take no for an answer” and branded him a “vile predator” in a resurfaced interview.

The Aussie popstar made the claims years before a bombshell expose revealed allegations of rape, sexual assault and abuse against the star.

Brand has denied all the allegations against him, which were made in a report from The Times and an accompanying Dispatches documentary.

However, in 2006 Ms Minogue also made damning claims against him.

She said: “He is completely crazy and a bit of a vile predator. I certainly don't think he has cured his sex addiction, that's for sure.

“He wouldn't take no for an answer. [...] He always goes that step too far. Never quite far enough to slap his face, but usually too far.

“He's obviously very intelligent - but he wears more make-up than I do. Normally I love guys with eyeliner on. It can be very sexy, but not on Russell. Absolutely no way, never, he's just not my type.

“I was told he got sacked from MTV in the past for wearing an Osama bin Laden costume to work the day after September 11. 

“I couldn't believe that I'd just agreed to be interviewed by someone who would do something like that, it really unnerved me. And then throughout the whole interview, he kept making shocking remarks that I can't even repeat. Just uttering the words would make me blush.”

Brand's alleged victims' claims range from rape to sexual assault, to emotional and physical abuse.

One woman claims she was a victim of an assault at Brand's home in 2013 after they met at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Another claimed that the comedian raped her up against a wall at his home in Los Angeles.

A third alleges he forced her to perform oral sex until she choked while she was just 16 and that she had to punch him in the stomach to make him stop.

Russell Brand's video transcript in full

Hello there, you awakening wonders.

Now this isn't the usual type of video we make on this channel where we critique, attack and undermine the news in all its corruption because in this story I am the news.

I have received two extremely disturbing letters - well a letter and an email.

One from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper, listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks as well as some pretty stupid stuff - like my community festival should be stopped, that I shouldn't be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel.

But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque, attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute. These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream - when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies, and as I have written about extensively in my books I was very very promiscuous

Now during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent. And I'm being transparent about it now as well. 

And to see that transparency metastasized into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question is there another agenda at play?

Particularly when we have seen coordinated media attacks before - like with Joe Rogan when he dared to take a medicine that the mainstream media didn't approve of and we saw a spate of headlines from media outlets across the world using the same language.

I’m aware that you guys have been saying in the comments for a while ‘Watch out Russell, they are coming for you, you are getting too close to the truth, Russell Brand did not kill himself’.

I know that a year ago there was a spate of articles ‘Russell Brand is a conspiracy theorist, Russell Brand’s right wing’.

I’m aware of news media making phone calls, sending letters to people I know for ages and ages.

It’s been clear to me or at least it feels to me like there's a serious and concerted agenda to control these kind of spaces and these kind of voices and I mean my voice along with your voice.

I don't mind them using my books and my stand up to talk about my promiscuous  consensual conduct in the past. What I seriously refute are these very very serious criminal allegations. 

Also it’s worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct apparently in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack

Now I don't want to get into this any further because of the serious nature of the allegations, but I feel like I'm being attacked and plainly they are working very closely together

We are obviously going to look into this matter because it’s very, very serious. In the meantime I want you to stay close, stay awake but more important than any of that if you can, please, stay free.

A fourth woman accused him of sexually assaulting her as well as being both emotionally and physically abusive.

The fifth, Jordan Martin, claims he subjected her to emotional abuse, sexual abuse and made her brush her teeth so hard her gums bled.

Before the claims were published, Brand released a video denying the allegations, insisting that while he was "promiscuous", his relationships had always been consensual.
