One woman who accused Russell of raping her against the wall in his Los Angeles home in 2012 described the alleged assault in the following words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I’m stuck underneath the painting and he’s pushing up against me. He’s a lot taller than me. And he has that glazed look in his eye again. And I can’t move. And I told him, ‘Get off, get off’.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Talking to Piers, Brand continued: ‘I like Rasputin… he was all right, wasn’t he… a mad monk with magical, mystical powers, having it off with everyone, drinking and getting into fights.’<\/p>\n
Rasputin was said to have eased the Tsar Nicholas II’s son, who had\u00a0haemophilia, when he was uncontrollably bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n Hearing the nickname Russell said: ‘He was a pretty powerful bloke, he could manipulate folk with his eyes’<\/p>\n Break up: The couple were married in October 2010 however the comedian filed for divorce from Katy- who was on tour at the time – in December 2011 after just 14 months of marriage<\/p>\n Meanwhile out of the court he said that sex\u00a0with him had healing affect and he was rumoured to be having an affair with the Tsar’s wife, Alexandra.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So far Katy has remained silent on the allegations surrounding Russell after he was\u00a0accused of a series of lurid allegations from four women including rape and sexual assault.<\/span><\/p>\n He vehemently denies the claims, which were first disclosed by Channel 4’s Dispatches and The Sunday Times.<\/p>\n Piers revealed how he tried to interview his ex wife at a Vanity Fair party in Washington DC back in 2013.\u00a0<\/p>\n Katy hadn’t been ready to talk about the breakdown of the marriage at the time, but reportedly said: ‘Because you’ll get the truth out of me, and I’m just not ready to tell you the truth.
