Russell Brand's career has taken a hit on multiple fronts. For one, his publishing deal with Pan Macmillan imprint Bluebird has been halted as London officials launch a formal investigation into claims that the comedian sexually assaulted, raped and abused multiple women between 2006 and 2013. Brand has vehemently denied all allegations made against him.
In a statement to The Bookseller, a representative for Bluebird said, "These are very serious allegations and in the light of them, Bluebird has taken the decision to pause all future publishing with Russell Brand." Brand published "Recovery: Freedom from our Addictions" with Pan Macmillan in 2018 and was slated to release a new version in May 2024, Variety reported. At this time, the book's publication is up in the air.
