Years after Katherine Ryan reportedly confronted Russell Brand about alleged predatory behavior while working alongside him on Comedy Central’s “Roast Battle” in 2018, the comedian has spoken out following his conviction on rape and sexual assault charges. There has been some justice done today,” she said. During the interview, Ryan said she had worked alongside a man on a television program and called him a “predator,” describing the potential legal repercussions as a “litigious minefield.” Her comments fueled speculation that she was referring to Brand.
Ryan has never publicly confirmed the identity of the comedian she was discussing. Brand, 51, was found guilty Thursday of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault following a four-week trial at London’s Southwark Crown Court. He was acquitted of two additional rape charges and one count of indecent assault.
The comedian, who denied all allegations of non-consensual sexual activity, is scheduled to be sentenced on Monday.
