Kristen Bell had a stark warning for Russell Brand on the set of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.<\/p>\n
The comedian has been accused of rape, sexual assault and physical abuse following a bombshell investigation by The Times, as part of a collaborative effort with Dispatches and Channel 4.<\/p>\n
The 48-year-old fiercely denied the allegations against him, addressing the claims in a video on social media on Friday, ahead of Dispatches airing an episode on the claims on Saturday.<\/p>\n
In the wake of the claims, Bell\u2019s comments on working with Brand on the 2008 comedy \u2013 also starring Mila Kunis, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and Jason Segel \u2013 have seemingly resurfaced.<\/p>\n
According to DailyMail.com, she discussed their time together on set in an interview, and reportedly said: \u2018I made it really clear from the beginning that I would sock him in the b***s if he tried anything. So he was intimidated.\u2019<\/p>\n
In another interview, via the Scottish Daily Record, she insisted: \u2018He didn\u2019t try to mess with me or get in my pants. He knew I would lop his n**s off.<\/p>\n

\u2018Russell loves everyone to know that he\u2019s a womanizer and he\u2019s done all these strange things, but I think secretly hiding inside Russell is a very nice boy.<\/p>\n
\u2018I had a lovely time with him because he was a bit protective towards me.\u2019<\/p>\n
Multiple women came forward to accuse Brand of sexual assault in an expose in the Times, and a collaborating episode of Dispatches.<\/p>\n
