Russell Brand is reportedly being sued for £200,000 after failing to write two self help books, in a deal that was signed before he was accused of sex abuse by four women.
Book magnates Pan Macmillan are said to have commissioned two self-help books from the disgraced comedian in 2021, offering him a total of £575,000 for 'two original literary works of non-fiction'.
Brand, 49, is said to have received £75,000 upfront for his first book and £142,000 for his second - with the remaining £179,500 due after he had finished the manuscripts and completed the surrounding promotional work.
But the publishing giant reportedly terminated his contract after a series of women accused him of sexual assaults. He denies the allegations and claims the relationships were consensual.
Now Pan Macmillan has filed to reclaim £220,000 of 'wasted expenditure' from Brand and his company, Pablo Diablo's Legitimate Business Firm, The Times report.
