Only one?
Katherine Ryan:

The Canadian comic and writer told Louis Theroux that she had confronted the unnamed man while they worked together on a TV show in front of the audience 'again and again'.
A report on media website Deadline reported that Ms Ryan called out Brand during Roast Battle, which is screened on Comedy Central though her allegations did not make the final edit.

Go figure?
he United States’ Department of Justice’s case against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange took a serious hit last week after a key witness admitted that he fabricated accusations in order to get immunity. Though these revelations were made public by an Icelandic newspaper on June 26, the mainstream media in the US has largely chosen to ignore them.
According to the bi-weekly Stundin, the witness, Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson, “has a documented history with sociopathy and has received several convictions for sexual abuse of minors and wide-ranging financial fraud”. He was recruited by US authorities in order to build a case against Assange, and misled them into believing he was a close associate of the Wikileaks founder. In reality, however, he had only “volunteered on a limited basis to raise money for Wikileaks in 2010 but was found to have used that opportunity to embezzle more than $50,000 from the organisation”, the Icelandic newspaper reports.
The US is currently seeking Assange’s extradition from the UK. If it succeeds, Assange could face up to 175 years in jail because of the charges filed against him. But now, with Thordason accepting that he fabricated his testimony, the veracity of the indictment submitted by American authorities in the UK has come under serious question.

I mentioned way back on page 3 of this thread which has now just become the usual ATS bickering crap
These are not new revaluations to many on the comedy circuit , this stuff predates brand and his standing up to the man YouTube channel
Of course his defenders will think it’s all new and made up because US elections , well duh, whereas if you want to look at it critically, look into comments by
“fellow Comedians, Fern Bardy, Stewart Lee, Katherine Ryan and Jimmy carr have made comments in the past about him being a little to touch feely without permission in the past, way before this documentry and his defense, its not a new thing “
All from years and years ago, from even before brand was a darling of so many on ATS and YouTube
