Russell Brand Reportedly ‘Furious’ With Lawyer After Spending $1.3M On Failed Rape Defense, Considers Hiring New Legal Team

Russell Brand is reportedly "furious" with his own lawyer after spending a fortune on a legal defense that failed to keep him out of prison. The disgraced comic is said to be unhappy with his barrister following his conviction for rape and sexual assault.

The 51-year-old is now reportedly considering hiring different lawyers if he faces further criminal charges. The claims come after his lawyer, Ian Winter KC, faced criticism over his treatment of Brand's accusers and a heated confrontation with a journalist outside court.
