Brand has insisted his relationships have all been consensual and denied the allegations.<\/p>\n
Pierce was outraged after Turner called Brand a \u2018hero\u2019 in a tweet and the two came to verbal blows live on air.<\/p>\n

But it was something Pierce said during his appearance on GMB on Tuesday that prompted Reid, 52, to jump into action.<\/p>\n
Chatting about the allegations facing Brand, Pierce chillingly remarked: \u2018I was told yesterday it\u2019s the tip of the iceberg.\u2019<\/p>\n
Richard Madeley then asked: \u2018You were told that?\u2019 to which Pierce replied, \u2018Yep.\u2019<\/p>\n
Jumping in, Reid \u2013 keen to apply pragmatism \u2013 said: \u2018Until allegations come out, we just don\u2019t know what it is.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As for Turner\u2019s comments about Brand, Pierce told Reid and Madeley: \u2018It was offensive and insulting \u2013 what about the four women who made these serious allegations? We all know how difficult it is for women to go to the authorities.\u2019<\/p>\n
Since\u00a0The Times<\/strong>\u00a0published its\u00a0bombshell investigation<\/strong>\u00a0on Saturday, the outlet has been contacted by \u2018several women\u2019.<\/p>\n Brand has been accused by women, including one who claimed she was 16 years old at the time.<\/p>\n He has also been accused of pursuing audience members for sex while presenting Big Brother spin-off shows EFourum and Big Brother\u2019s Big Mouth on Channel 4, while other allegations relate to when he was a radio presenter for the BBC.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
