Comedian Samantha Pressdee recalls Russell Brand as a "perfect gentleman" when she said "no" to him in an intimate encounter

The British stand-up comedian Samantha Pressdee recalled her intimate moment with Russell Brand and called him a 'perfect gentleman' after the convicted actor respected her decision not to get into an intimate encounter. In The Megyn Kelly Show, Samantha recalled that she and Russell met at a bar in 2006, and later Russell approached her and invited her to go back to his home. Samantha recalled,

"I went to his home. We had a little bit of a romantic tumble. I think the most important part of my story is that I said no to him at the most frustrating possible moment, the last possible moment I could say no."

She then added,

"He was a perfect gentleman about it, and to this day, I still care about him dearly."

Samantha first shared her account on social media in 2023 and later repeated it following Russell's trial on November 5, 2026. She argued that Russell never reacted angrily or tried to persuade her after she refused to have s*x. She also criticized the media's coverage of the case and shared her personal views about the trial, raising concerns that have not been verified by the court.

Samantha Pressdee recalled her time with Russell Brand and labelled him a 'perfect gentleman'

The Megyn Kelly Show revealed Russell Brand's intimate moment with the British stand-up comedian Samantha Pressdee. While speaking with the host of the show, Samantha shared that she met Russell at a bar in 2006, where his writing partner, Matt Morgan, was DJing, and Russell stopped by for an appearance.

Samantha recalled that only 50 people were present at the venue, and most of them followed Russell Brand around closely while she stayed relaxed and kept her distance. According to her, Russell later approached her and invited her to his home. The British comedian revealed,

"And then he came up to me and said, are you coming with me? And I'm like, where? And he's like, to my home. And I was like, no. And he's like, come on, it'll be an adventure."

Samantha then agreed to go with him, and the two shared a romantic encounter at the house. She said that the most significant part of the experience was that she decided not to continue at the last possible moment and clearly told him no. She further added that Russell Brand respected her decision and behaved like a perfect gentleman and that she still cared deeply about him years later.

Samantha Pressdee argued that claims of an 'open secret' were false

Samantha revealed that no one ever warned her to be careful around Russell Brand, even though many people in the comedy industry knew she was connected to him. Because of that, she said she didn't believe claims that concerns about him were an 'open secret,' as she felt someone would have warned her if those concerns had been widely known.

In The Megyn Kelly Show, Samantha rejected what she described as a 'false narrative' surrounding the case and said she had not heard the allegations being discussed until comedian Alfie Brown mentioned them on stage in 2023. She said,

"It's a false narrative. Why are they all coming out now claiming we knew everyone knew? I think journalists planted the narrative because the first I heard of it was from the comedian Alfie Brown. He said it on stage in 2023."

The British comedian argued that claims of an 'open secret' were not true and pointed to an incident involving comedian Alfie Brown. She said Alfie rode with her in a campaign van decorated by Russell's team around 2016 and, according to her, would therefore have known about her connection to Russell Brand.

As per Samantha, people in the comedy industry had publicity photos linking her to Russell. She said that despite Alfie knowing all of this, he never warned her about Russell at the time. Thus, Samantha tried to prove that the 'open secret' allegations were false.
