Vanessa Feltz dumps Russell Brand after 'chilling' request to sleep with her 15-year-old…

Vanessa Feltz has revealed she ended her friendship with Russell Brand after the actor asked to have sex with her teenage daughters during an uncomfortable live broadcast. The presenter, 64, told the Daily Mail ^[2] she was 'horrified and disgusted' by the request, which she described as 'chilling'.

According to the Daily Mail ^[1], Brand repeatedly pressed Ms Feltz on whether he could 'have it off' with her two daughters while they were speaking on air. The incident occurred during their conversation, turning a routine interaction into a moment of visible discomfort for the broadcaster.

Feltz stated that the nature of Brand's comments, particularly regarding her 15-year-old daughter, made the friendship untenable. She used the word 'chilling' to describe the rapist's behaviour, a reference to Brand's legal history which has coloured public perception of his actions in recent years.

The pair had been friends prior to this incident, but the on-air request proved to be the final straw for the radio host. She noted that the repeated nature of the question, rather than a single slip of the tongue, contributed to her decision to cut ties.

Brand has not publicly commented on the specific details of the conversation as reported by the outlets. The incident highlights the ongoing tension between the actor's public persona and the boundaries expected in professional media interactions.
