Read our privacy policy An excerpt from Russell Brand’s 2007 memoir has resurfaced following rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse allegations made against him by four women. In it, Brand wrote that the decision to seek treatment for his sex addiction was followed by the realisation “my sexual behaviour might become damaging to my career”. Brand wrote that his manager John Noel checked him into KeyStone Center Extended Care Unit “using a combination of threats, bullying, love and blackmail to make me go”. Plan auto-renews until cancelled Try for free “Just to shut everyone up, really, and for the same reason that I finally gave up drink and drugs – because my ambition is the most powerful force within me, so once people convinced me that my sexual behavior might become damaging to my career, I found it easier to think of it as a flaw that needed to be remedied.” Since the allegations against Brand came to light, more women have reportedly contacted The Sunday Times about the ex-BBC presenter’s behaviour “since the early 2000s”, the newspaper said on Monday.
