Social media accounts belonging to disgraced comedian Russell Brand have been disabled, as it is revealed the convicted predator is now facing accusations of sexual misconduct by six more women.

Brand was jailed for 10 and a half years this week after being found guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others during his career.

The 51-year-old was described by the sentencing judge as a sexual predator who had shown “staggering arrogance” and “casual disrespect” towards his victims.

Tech giant Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, has since disabled Brand’s social media accounts.

However, his account on X – which is owned by billionaire Elon Musk – is still active. A new post shows what look like screenshots from Brand’s disabled Instagram page, with the comment:

“There was never a Russell Brand, according to @meta. Thank God for @elonmusk.”

Meanwhile, a new investigation by the UK Times and The Sunday Times has revealed that a six further women have accused Brand of sexual misconduct and predatory behaviour.

The Times reported that a woman, who said she had an on-off relationship with Brand in the late 2000s after a professional meeting at his London home, claimed the comedian continued having sex with her despite her saying “No, stop”.

After the alleged incident, the woman said Brand apologised to her in person and by text message.

Another woman, who encountered Brand as a 19-year-old after queuing to meet him with a friend in 2007, claimed she told him during sex, “it’s painful” and asked him to stop, but he did not.

The woman alleged Brand said afterwards: “Tonight was consensual. Nobody did anything they didn’t want to do.”

Brand is also accused of misconduct by a fan who met him after he performed at a venue in the US in 2013. She claimed he “manhandled” her and forced his hand down her trousers, adding: “I didn’t resist. I just sort of let it happen.”

Another woman alleged Brand approached her in 2005 at a music festival and told her: “Please I just need to have sex with you, I will pay you.”

According to the investigation, Brand is also accused of misconduct by a woman who won a BBC 6 Music competition and was invited as a guest on his show in 2006.

After seeing each other sporadically for the next year, she claimed Brand told her to lick a toilet seat at his house and “got angry” when she refused.

Another woman, who worked at a London venue Brand visited regularly in 2015, alleged a member of Brand’s staff told her there: “Russell wants you” and said “he’s in the disabled toilets”.

She said when she went in the lights were off and Brand claimed he wanted toilet paper, but grabbed her when she went to hand it to him.

The new allegations against Brand could not be reported until his trial ended to avoid prejudicing proceedings.

The newspapers reported that Brand’s lawyer said he would consider “injunctive relief” but did not send any response to the allegations despite an agreed deadline.

The Press Association has contacted Brand’s lawyer for comment.

Brand has previously denied wrongdoing and claimed all his relationships were consensual.

Since his conviction, one of his famous ex-partners, UK TV presenter Jemima Goldsmith, has accused Brand of “violence, coercive control and abuse” during their relationship.

She revealed she had to call police to have him removed from her home after one incident.

London’s Metropolitan Police also revealed earlier this week that they were now investigating further rape allegations against Brand made by two other women, and said they expected the guilty verdicts would encourage more alleged victims to speak out.

The new allegations reported by The Times come as Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the media industry needs to “look at itself” and “step forward” to protect women and girls following Brand’s rape conviction and allegations of sexual misconduct made against comedian David Walliams.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told MPs that ministers “would not hesitate” to take action if protections put in place are inadequate.
