The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star, who has developed into a 'wellness' and conspiracy influencer.
The online platform said in a statement Tuesday that it had “suspended monetization” on Brand‘s channel for violating its “creator responsibility policy,” British news agency PA Media Group reported.
Brand has developed a major following on his YouTube channel in recent years, amassing more than 6.61 million subscribers with videos cultivating something of a"wellness" persona and sharing conspiracy theories. “But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute,” Brand said.
The police department told NBC News it received a report of sexual assault against Brand on Sunday, a day after the publication of the investigation and the airing of a documentary on the subject on Saturday.“We continue to encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of a sexual offence, no matter how long ago it was, to contact us,” the department said.
