Banijay,Kings Of Comedy,Entertainment

A new report—centering on Brand's work in the mid-2000s—found TV producers all too ready to dismiss inappropriate behaviors as part of the comedian's brand

A new investigation from ridiculously massive French entertainment producer Banijay , aimed at shows starring comedian and TV personality Russell Brand —specifically, those Brand-focused shows produced by its recent acquisition Endemol —has found that the production of multiple shows featured environments where inappropriate behavior on the star’s part were dismissed or ignored on the grounds of “Russell being Russell.

Nothing in the Banijay report apparently rises to those levels, but they do paint a long line of inappropriate behaviors, including assigning runners on shows like Big Brother’s Big Mouth, Kings Of Comedy, and Big Brother’s Celebrity Hijack to question female audience members to get their phone numbers. The report, which states that Brand’s actions were not “adequately addressed” by producers at the time, also mentions “female crew members feeling uncomfortable or intimidated” by his behavior.
