BBC 'urgently' looking into issues raised by allegations of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse against comedian Russell Brand.
Soon after, a production company, which worked with the accused star, revealed that it was launching an"urgent" internal investigation into the issues raised.
The BBC said it was launching an 'urgent' investigation into the issues raised by the Russell Brand allegations "I think we have to be particularly careful when we listen to the voices of the people who are relatively powerless because we, I think collectively, have missed opportunities to do the right thing and intervene much, much earlier, and we've got to be better at this."
On Saturday, ahead of the airing of the documentary, Russell Brand denied the"very serious criminal allegations" against him on his YouTube channel. He also claimed that he was the subject of a"coordinated attack" and added that all his relationships have been"consensual".
