Russell Brand has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies the allegations against him. Wiktor Szymanowicz

Russell Brand‘s criminal trial in London heard from a third accuser on Monday, who alleged the former comedian grinned “like a clown” before pulling her into a bathroom and sexually assaulting her, according to the BBC.

The jury at Southwark Crown Court, where the six-week trial is taking place, was played a recording of the woman’s 2023 police interview. Per the BBC, the woman told detectives she met Brand at a bar in Soho in 2004, where they spoke about his Channel 4 show “Big Brother’s Big Mouth.”
