After allegations of sexual abuse: Russell Brand has been baptized | Celebrities

Celebrities“It was an incredible, profound experience.” Russell Brand announced via Instagram that he has been baptized. According to the British actor and comedian, who was accused of sexual misconduct at the end of last year, it was “an opportunity to leave the past behind.”

“Baptism gives me the opportunity to die and be reborn,” the actor continued. “It feels like a new source has been turned on within me.” Brand has often been open about his faith in God in recent months. Since December, Katy Perry’s ex-lover has shared a number of videos on social media in which he discusses his relationship with Christianity. “People are so cynical about the increasing interest in Christianity and the return to God, but for me it is clear,” he said.

Sexual abuse

The news that the comedian is being baptized comes less than a year after he was accused of sexual abuse. Brand was first accused in September last year by several women. A total of four alleged victims have come forward to ‘The Sunday Times’, ‘The Times’ and the Channel 4 program ‘Dispatches’. They conducted a joint investigation and have spoken to hundreds of sources since 2019. The alleged incidents took place between 2006 and 2013, the heyday of Brand’s career.

Brand himself denies all allegations made against him. Even before the accusations came out, the actor responded to the rumors in a video on his YouTube channel. “This is a litany of extremely blatant and aggressive attacks that are not true,” it said.
