<\/p>\n

Some of Russell Brand\u2019s content was removed from the BBC\u2019s platforms and now boss Tim Davie has questioned how it was able to run in the first place.<\/p>\n

The Rock of Ages actor has been hit with accusations of rape, emotional abuse and sexual assault by several women spanning the height of his fame from 2006 to 2013.<\/p>\n

His tour has been postponed and YouTube channel demonetised in the wake of the Dispatches, The Times, and Sunday Times investigation into the 48-year-old.<\/p>\n

Since the news broke on Saturday, further concerning stories about Brand\u2019s behaviour have come to light, including comedian Katherine Ryan calling him a predator multiple times to his face.<\/p>\n

Tim Davie, director-general of the BBC, has said the entire broadcasting industry should be \u2018very vigilant\u2019 following these allegations.<\/p>\n

\u2018You look back and this industry has definitely faced significant issues with regard to a deep power imbalance in certain places, between so-called talent, presenters, and others working on shows, there\u2019s no doubt about that,\u2019 he said during a long-arranged session with BBC staff on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a pre-emptive video posted on YouTube, Brand denied all allegations\u00a0and accused the media of a \u2018co-ordinated attack\u2019.<\/p>\n

According to Davie, the BBC\u2019s processes have changed, including on its code of conduct, values and the corporation has a non-negotiable anti-bullying and harassment policy.<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018There is no room for complacency. I do feel we\u2019re in a different place, I\u2019m proud of our culture, but to say that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t dangers.<\/p>\n

\u2018We should all be looking after each other, we should be very vigilant, we should keep improving our processes.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The BBC previously said that it felt some of Brand\u2019s material \u2018fell below public expectations\u2019 so had decided to remove this from it\u2019s platforms.<\/p>\n

Channel 4 has also removed content featuring the St Trinian\u2019s actor, including the Great British Bake Off and Big Brother box sets that Brand appeared on.<\/p>\n

Davie added: \u2018Lastly, I\u2019d say I do think we\u2019re in a different place, over 15 years. When I listened back, frankly, to some of those broadcasts I think, that is just completely unacceptable. <\/p>\n

\u2018What led to that being on air? I just look at that stuff and I say there is no way I will listen to that, there\u2019s no way I accept it. <\/p>\n

\u2018We have to be clear about that together, that we will not accept that.\u2019<\/p>\n
