Russell Brand sued for 220,000 by publishers after failing to write two books
Briefly

Russell Brand, a 49-year-old actor and comedian, has faced legal issues after failing to deliver two non-fiction books to Pan Macmillan, for which he signed a £575,000 deal in January 2021. Amid ongoing sexual assault investigations, neither manuscript was submitted by the agreed deadline. Following a request for extended deadlines and the termination of his literary agency, Pan Macmillan has chosen to terminate the contract, seeking £220,000 in compensation for wasted expenditures, invoking contractual obligations that Brand failed to meet, while he maintains his relationships have been consensual.
In January 2021, Brand's company signed a deal with Pan Macmillan for two books, with neither delivered by September 2023 amid sexual assault allegations.
Despite having signed a contract binding him to deliver two non-fiction works, Brand has reportedly failed to produce the typescripts required.
