00:00Mr. Brand then told her to clean up the mess on the bed and he left the room.
00:04The male who had answered the door to her then entered the room and told her she had to leave
00:08as Mr. Brand had to perform in another show that evening.
00:12She then left and was dropped off to Hampstead Tube by the same driver.
00:18What is your response to this allegation?
00:21I have nothing further to add at this time.
00:23Okay.
00:26Thank you for your time today.
00:27As I stated at the outset of this process on the 16th of September 2023, a defamatory
00:33and fictitious documentary was broadcast in conjunction with the publication of two national
00:38newspapers containing false anonymised allegations which led to unprecedented media reporting.
00:45Subsequently, both the media and the police publicly invited additional allegations to
00:49be made which resulted in further encounters being invented or reimagined.
00:54It is even more apparent from the additional disclosure provided on the 10th of January
01:002024 that these encounters have been invented or reimagined.
01:05I understand that you will now ask further questions.
01:07I do not intend to respond to your questions without sufficient time to consider the information
01:11to answer accurately.
01:12I will therefore listen to your questions but I will not be providing further responses
01:16at this time.
01:17You have indicated to my solicitors that you will be asking me if I have any final comments
01:21at the end of each interview and then we will be afforded a break at that stage.
01:25If I have anything further to add, I will do so after the break or in due course after
01:29this interview.
01:30As I have repeatedly stated publicly and written about extensively, I led a very promiscuous
01:36life in the past, which I have spent years openly denouncing.
01:40I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity.
01:45On the 16th of September 2023, a defamatory and fictitious documentary was broadcast in conjunction
01:53with the publication of two national newspapers containing false anonymised allegations, which
01:59led to unprecedented media reporting.
02:01Subsequently, both the media and the police publicly invited additional allegations to be
02:06made, which has resulted in further encounters being invented or reimagined.
02:11At present, I do not recall the names of the police complainants or meeting them.
02:16However, it is entirely possible that I may have encountered them and that we may have
02:20engaged in consensual sexual activity or physical contact that has been since reimagined.
02:28The way of life that I have described, the magnitude of the promiscuity, deceptively rendered
02:33in recent media attacks, accompanied by advertisements for complainants, have caused consensual encounters
02:40to be unfavourably reframed decades later.
02:44As I stated at the outset, I have never engaged in any non-consensual sexual activity.
02:50I understand that you will now ask further questions.
02:53I do not intend to respond to your questions without sufficient time to consider the information
02:58to answer accurately.
02:59I will therefore listen to your questions, but I will not be providing further responses
03:03at this time.
03:04Okay, so this is an interview on the function, and today is the 16th of November, 2023.
03:13The time is 11.17.
03:16We are in one of the interview rooms.
03:23I'm a detective constable in the complex investigation team, and my colleague...
03:30I'm also a detective on the complex investigation team.
03:33I'm interviewing yourself today.
03:36Can you give me your name, please?
03:37Russell Brand.
