COMEDIAN London Hughes has claimed she was warned about Russell Brand by her agent.<\/p>\n

The former CBBC presenter, 34, said every comedian "knew the star was dodgy".<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Brand had a pattern of having sex with women and then "having them fired", she claimed on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

The television personality, 48, has been accused of a series of rape and sex attacks in a bombshell expose by The Times.<\/p>\n

Brand has denied all allegations against him.<\/p>\n

Hughes wrote: "There's not a single comedian in the UK that wasn't aware of his behaviour. We've all heard the rumours.<\/p>\n

Brand ‘sent BBC car to pick girl, 16, up from school & drop her at his home’<\/h3>\n

"I always had the understanding that he was, for lack of a better word, 'dodgy', and I should avoid him."<\/p>\n

'HUGE FAN'<\/h2>\n

Hughes said she was a "huge fan" of Brand when she signed with his agent at the height of his career.<\/p>\n

She added: "I was so excited to meet him. But my first day at the agency I was told unprovoked that I shouldn't sleep with him under any circumstances.<\/p>\n

"He likes to pursue women, have sex with them. But as soon as he has sex with them they'd make him feel sick and he didn't want to be around them anymore."<\/p>\n

She claimed Brand would then "have them fired, or dropped from the agency".<\/p>\n

"It happened several times in the past. I was 22 at the time, did what I was told and completely avoided him."<\/p>\n

Hughes added that she was "not shocked by the documentary at all" and said "I believe everything those brave women said".<\/p>\n

Her comments were met with attacks from "trolls" who claimed she was a "shameless parasite" and "lying piece of s**t".<\/p>\n

She added: "Ugh, now I'm getting abuse from weirdo rape apologists. My mentions are a mess. I've only been back in the UK for five days and you lot are already stressing me out. This is why I live in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

"Support women and leave me alone please, thank you."<\/p>\n

One comment underneath her posts read: "I don't know many guys who wouldn't accept sex on a plate. They think about it every 6 seconds and have porn on speed dial. Please your making out he pursued you."<\/p>\n

Another added: "You promoting a book or something? Making up bs about someone is an effective way to NOT sell a book. Might be time for your cancelling."<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Rishi Sunak today called the allegations "very serious and concerning".<\/p>\n

They added: "People should feel able to raise concerns when they have them and know they will be taken seriously. There should never be any space for harassment regardless of where it is found. <\/p>\n

"I think the BBC and Channel 4 have said they will investigate and that's the right step. I won't pre-judge that but they should present results of the findings transparently."<\/p>\n

It comes as Brand's former agent John Noel told the BBC: "I never had any complaints about him."<\/p>\n

One woman claimed Brand raped her against a wall at his home in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

A second said a 31-year-old Brand forced her to perform oral sex until she choked when she was just 16. <\/p>\n

She claimed she had to punch him in the stomach to make him stop.<\/p>\n

The girl, given the pseudonym Alice, also claimed he referred to her as "the child" during a three-month-long abusive relationship.<\/p>\n

She has since blasted Brand's response to the allegations as "insulting".<\/p>\n

Alice added: "It is laughable that he would even imply that it's a mainstream media conspiracy. He's not outside of mainstream media."<\/p>\n

She says Brand's YouTube channel allows him to talk about conspiracy theories and frame the allegations in those terms.<\/p>\n

"I think he was building himself an audience for years that would then have great distrust of any publication that came forward with allegations. He knew it was coming for a long time."<\/p>\n

She says that she was not surprised that Brand denied all the allegations and said they were all consensual.<\/p>\n

"What he didn't deny was that he had a relationship with a 16 year old," she added.<\/p>\n
