Russell Brand Conviction

Russell Brand was singing a very different tune before his rape and sexual assault conviction ... and newly released police interrogation videos show just how adamantly he denied the allegations against him.

London's Metropolitan Police released footage Thursday from interviews conducted between 2023 and 2025 ... showing the actor defending his past sexual behavior while insisting he'd done nothing wrong.

Russell admitted he'd lived a "very promiscuous life" ... but maintained he'd "never engaged in any non-consensual sexual activity."
