CNN —A BBC spokesperson said on Sunday that the British broadcaster is “urgently looking into” issues raised in the Channel 4 documentary on Russell Brand, which included allegations of sexual assault.
Russell Brand worked on BBC radio programmes between 2006 and 2008 and we are urgently looking into the issues raised,” a BBC spokesperson said in a statement.
One of the women said she was 16 and Brand was 31 at the time of the alleged assault in London.

And as I’ve written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous,” Brand said in his video on Friday.
