In a shocking turn of events, British comedian and actor Russell Brand has been accused of raping and sexually abusing four women between 2006 and 2013. The allegations came to light in a joint investigation conducted by the Times of London and Channel 4 Dispatches. One of the bombshell rape allegations occurred just months after Brand's divorce from pop star Katy Perry, whom he was married to for only 14 months.

The accuser, known as Nadia, claimed that Brand raped her "against a wall" in his Los Angeles home in July 2012. This incident took place five months after his divorce from Perry was finalized. Nadia sought medical help at a rape crisis center on the same day, according to medical records cited in the investigation. Another woman came forward, alleging that Brand groomed her and sexually abused her when she was just 16 years old. She described their three-month relationship as emotionally abusive and controlling.

The allegations against Brand have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Many have looked back at Perry's previous comments about her ex-husband, speculating on whether there were underlying issues in their relationship. In a 2013 Vogue interview, Perry alluded to knowing the "real truth" about Brand but promised to keep it locked away for a rainy day. Fans at the time speculated that Brand may have been jealous and unsupportive of Perry's success, as she described him as "very controlling" and not liking her being the "boss."

Perry and Brand's relationship began in 2009 when she made a cameo appearance in his film "Get Him to the Greek." They started officially dating after the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and got married in October 2010. Their marriage ended abruptly when Brand asked for a divorce via text message on December 31, 2011. Perry's heartbreak over the breakup was captured in her documentary "Part of Me" when she received the devastating text just before a performance.

Since their split, Perry has moved on and is now engaged to actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a 3-year-old daughter. Brand, on the other hand, is currently married to Laura Gallacher and is a father of two. He vehemently denies the rape allegations, claiming that his sexual relationships were always consensual. Moments before the report detailing the accusations was published, Brand released an online video refuting the claims and citing his promiscuous past, which he has written extensively about in his books.

The allegations against Brand have prompted further investigations from the BBC, where he had worked as a radio presenter during the time of the first assaults, and the production company Banijay UK. As the truth unfolds, the entertainment industry and fans alike are left grappling with the shocking and disturbing allegations against a once-beloved figure.
