A court hearing was told that Helen Berger, who had worked as an assistant to Russell Brand, gave evidence that the entertainer asked her to obtain the phone numbers of female fans.
Berger said she ultimately left her job because she had become "sick of him," the court heard. Her comments were delivered while she was giving testimony in the proceedings.
The account from Berger was presented as part of the evidence heard in the hearing, with the request for fan contact details forming a central element of her recollection of events while employed in the role.
No further details of the testimony were provided in the summary of the hearing. Berger’s statements were among the witness accounts that the court considered as the case proceeded.
