Russell Brand is currently on trial for three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted indecent assault from six different women spanning a ten-year period between 1999 and 2009.

Party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In it, while the singer starts by calling out Brand for not watching the awards ceremony when he\u2019s asked for his opinion on it, he later holds up a pin badge or card of some kind that reads \u2018Obey\u2019 and she goes quiet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fans have interpreted this as being a way of Brand asserting control over the singer in public, especially when she was being afforded more attention than him, branding it \u2018disgusting\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has since emerged that <a
