Actor Russel Brand will go to court – level 1

Actor Russel Brand will go to court

07-11-2023 15:00

Russell Brand, an actor and comedian from Britain. He has a big problem.

A lady called Jane Doe says that Brand does bad things to her.  This happens during the making of the film ‘Arthur’ in 2011. Some other ladies also say Russell does bad things to them many years ago. The police in Britain are looking at these stories. But this one in New York is the first in a court.

Jane Doe says that Brand is drinking too much. He wants to have sex with her in the restroom. She does not want it. She feels really bad about it now.

Russell Brand says that he does not do these things. The film’s distributor Warner Bros Pictures is in trouble, too. It seems that they know that bad things happen on set. They do nothing about it.

Difficult words: comedian (a funny actor), restroom (a toilet), set (the place where people make a movie).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What do you think is the legal responsibility of Warner Bros Pictures in this case?
