Spotify reportedly has no plans to remove Russell Brand's content despite the disturbing allegations against him.
As previously reported, the 48-year-old comedian and actor is at the center of harrowing allegations after four women came forward, claiming that they were victims of sexual assault and predatory behavior at the hands of Brand, all of which he has vehemently denied.
The claims - which date back to when Brand was at the height of his fame from 2006 to 2013 - were revealed in a joint investigation by The Times and Channel 4's Dispatches.
Due to the controversy surrounding the British star, many streaming platforms have removed the comedian's content, however, the billion-dollar Swedish music and podcast app reportedly won't be doing the same as Brand hasn't violated their terms and conditions, according to the BBC.
Though the streaming explained that they opted to not terminate the Get Him To Greek actor's Under The Skin podcast - which is a "weekly interview series" - the podcast producer Acast disclosed that it has turned off ads on the show.
In addition to this, YouTube has announced that they have demonetized Brand's channel, which boasts more than 6.6 million subscribers, explaining that its action was consistent with how it had applied its policy in the past.
"If a creator’s off-platform behavior harms our users, employees, or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community," the company said, per Financial Times.
The BBC also reported that it had withdrawn "some programs" featuring the former actor that were "deemed to 'fall below public expectations'" from its streaming services, iPlayer and Sounds.
"There is limited content featuring Russell Brand on iPlayer and Sounds," the UK public broadcaster said in a statement. "We’ve reviewed that content and made a considered decision to remove some of it, having assessed that it now falls below public expectations."
The father-of-two - who is currently married to Laura Gallacher - categorically denied the allegations in a video released to his YouTube channel the night before the report detailing the accusations was published.
"I've received two extremely disturbing letters or a letter and an email," he said. "One from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, as well as some pretty stupid stuff like my community festival should be stopped, that I shouldn't be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel."
Admitting that he had a "time of promiscuity", the British star claimed that all of his previous relationships have been consensual. He then considered if there were ulterior motives behind the claims, questioning: "And to see that transparency metastasized into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question, is there another agenda at play?"
Brand signed off by claiming that he was the victim of a targeted attack by the media, presumably due to his YouTube channel where he often questions the media's motives.
The Metropolitan Police have issued a statement following accusations of rape against Brand.
As cited by The Mirror, they said: "We are aware of media reporting of a series of allegations of sexual assault. At this time, we have not received any reports in relation to this.
"If anyone believes they have been the victim of a sexual assault, no matter how long ago it happened, we would encourage them to contact police," they added.
