A WOMAN yesterday claimed Russell Brand's eyes turned black "like the devil" as he pinned her down and sexually assaulted her.
The woman one of five who accuse the star - said Brand was naked when he pounced on her at his Los Angeles apartment.
A second woman claims she was raped by Brand at his LA home.
And a third says she was a 16-year-old schoolgirl when she claims Brand "groomed" her after meeting her by chance in London's Leicester Square.
She says he called her "the child" and in one alleged sex assault she had to punch him to make him stop.
A fourth alleged victim claims assault and abusive behaviour.
Married father-of-two Brand "absolutely refutes" the allegations, which came in a joint probe by the Sunday Times and a Channel 4 Dispatches programme aired last night.
A woman using the pseudonym Phoebe said she met Brand at Alcoholics Anonymous in 2013.
SLEAZY
Of the alleged encounter at his home, she said he forced her on to a bed. She said: "I saw something come over his eyes, I swear to God, like, black, his eyes had no more colour, they were black, like the devil. Like a different person entered his body.
"I don't know what the actual definition of sexual assault' is, but it feels like that. He didn't rape me."
It was also claimed Brand tried to arrange a sleazy meeting with Jimmy Savile promising to bring a personal assistant for a naked meeting with the star, later exposed as a sex predator.
Brand, who is reportedly worth £15million, issued a statement in which he dismissed the allegations. In a YouTube video before the claims were aired, the former Radio 2 host accused the "mainstream media" of "aggressive attacks".
Last night he went ahead with a gig at Wembley and told fans: "I love you all."
