Pic shows: New Russell Brand video released on Friday evening 22.9.23

in the wake of sex allegations

Russell Brand says it has been an "extraordinary and distressing" week after rape and sexual assault allegations were made against him.

In a video published on social media, he thanked followers for their support and for "questioning the information that you've been presented with".

They are his first public comments since allegations were published by the Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches last weekend.
