British comedian has spoken candidly about a past relationship that has drawn public attention.
In a recent interview, he disclosed that at the age of 30, he was involved with a 16-year-old, pointing out that the age of consent in the UK is 16.
However, he admitted that legality does not remove ethical concerns. He acknowledged that the situation involved a significant power imbalance, as he was already a well-known public figure at the time.
Brand noted that such relationships can be exploitative even when they are legally consensual. Reflecting on his actions, he described them as selfish and lacking proper consideration for how they may have impacted the other person.
