Iconic rocker Rod Stewart called out Russell Brand back in 2006 for making ungentlemanly comments about his daughter.
Before Brand was declared a convicted rapist in the court of law, he was known for womanising and making vulgar comments to the women he was around.
In 2006, Brand picked the wrong daughter of a famous rockstar to boast about.
At the 2006 GQ Men of the Year Awards, Brand reportedly told a star-studded audience that he had hooked up with Sir Rod Stewart’s daughter, Kimberly.
Kimberly Stewart was 27 at the time.
Brand was accepting an award for fashion when he took the stage and dedicated his award to rocker Rod Stewart.
“Here’s to Rod Stewart who had a go at me earlier this year for too much womanising. But then again I did have a go on his daughter,” he said in front of the entire audience.
When Stewart later took to the stage to accept an award for outstanding musical achievement, he called out Brand directly.
The rocker said, “You went with my daughter, did you? Russell, stand up.”
As reported by The Mirror, Brand began to change his tune, suddenly mumbling before responding, “I took her out for one evening.”
Stewart asked him if he behaved himself to which Brand changed his story: “I never touched that girl.”
“F***ing right you didn’t,” Stewart quipped. “You mustn’t come up here and boast. I speak here as a father.”
Later that same year, Stewart reflected on the confrontation while being interviewed by Michael Parkinson on his show alongside Noel Gallagher and Dustin Hoffman.
Stewart explained how the situation unfolded.
“It was the GQ awards and he got up on the stage and he insinuated — a little bit stronger than that — that he had it off with my daughter Kimberly,” he said, adding that she was 27 at the time.
“I love my kids and they tell me everything,” he said, revealing that he spoke to his daughter about the rumour prior to the awards show.
She assured him that they never had any intimate relations and just got caught in what looks like a compromising photo together.
Stewart continued, “So when I got up on the stage, I pinpointed him and I said, ‘Get up. God’s honest truth, did you shag my daughter?’ And he said no.”
“He was humbled, absolutely humbled. I said, ‘You don’t do that.’ Even in my heyday I wouldn’t have done that.”
Parkinson asked if Brand was frightened of him.
“He was a little, yeah, because I had a few of me mates in the crowd, didn’t I?” Stewart said, proudly.
That’s when Brand’s close friend, Oasis musician Noel Gallagher, cut in.
“He’s actually my pal, Russell, and he’s very cheeky but nothing else. He’s a good boy. I’ll say that.”
Stewart replied, “All mouth and trousers, then.”
“Very bad trousers at that,” Gallagher said, as they all laughed.
Gallagher and Brand were both each other’s Best Man on their wedding days, but since Brand’s criminal troubles, Gallagher has reportedly cut ties with the convicted actor.
