In his YouTube video refuting the claims, Brand said: “These allegations are about when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in newspapers all the time, when I was in movies. And as I’ve written about at length in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely, always consensual.”

“I have received two extremely disturbing letters, or a letter and an email, one from a major media outlet, one from a newspaper, stating a litany of extremely outrageous and aggressive attacks,” he began in the video. “But amid this litany of stunning, rather baroque attacks, there are some very serious allegations that I absolutely deny.”

Although Brand did not name the TV company or the newspaper, his video was in front Time article and a new special investigative episode Dispatches.

As Brando’s video continued, he said, “I’ve always been transparent about it back then — almost too transparent. And now I’m transparent about it. And to see how this transparency metastasizes into something criminal, I absolutely deny that.”

“I don’t mind them using my books and my stand-up to talk about my promiscuous, consensual behavior in the past,” he continued. “What I seriously dispute are these very, very serious criminal charges.”

“Also, it’s worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives these two mainstream media are trying to construct, apparently, in what appears to me to be a coordinated attack,” the actor added.

“I don’t want to go into this any further, because of the serious nature of the allegations, but I feel like I’m under attack and obviously they’re working very closely together,” he said.

Brand concluded: “Obviously we’re going to look into this matter because it’s very, very, serious. In the meantime, I want you to stay close, stay awake, but more importantly than all of that, if you can, please stay free.”

Following the announcement of the allegations on Saturday, Brand performed his show Russell Brand Bipolarisation at the Troubadour Wembley Park in London.

Brand representatives did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for additional comment.
