Police are now probing a separate sexual assault allegation against the star in London in 2003.<\/p>\n
Industry experts say Brand could have earned around \u00a31m a year posting YouTube videos.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yesterday, the BBC removed some of his content from their apps. <\/p>\n
The corporation is probing allegations about Brand\u2019s time there between 2006 and 2008.<\/p>\n
His book publisher has already paused all future projects with him. Last night it emerged Brand appeared to have \u201cliked\u201d a post on X, aka Twitter, taking a swipe at Phillip Schofield.<\/p>\n
A user shared a gif of the ex-This Morning host smiling as he seemingly danced, with the caption: \u201cIf only #Dispatches.\u201d Brand liked the tweet, posted before the show aired.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Responding to allegations, Brand said: "I've received two extremely disturbing letters or a letter and an email. One from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, as well as some pretty stupid stuff like community festival should be stopped, that I shouldn't be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel. But amidst this litany of astonishing rather baroque attacks, often very serious allegations that I absolutely refute."<\/p>\n

"These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies. And as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that. Then almost too transparent, and I'm being transparent about it now as well. And to see that transparency metastasised into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question, is there another agenda at play?"<\/p>\n
