As I said he's just a narcissist. Attention is the be all. Money helps too.

They chatted, kept in touch, and when my bro's friend relapsed, Brand paid for his rehab at some mad expensive private clinic. This was an ongoing thing for years. the bill must have run into hundred of thousands. He only asked in return that my bro's friend promise not to take the story to the papers. i liked him, if only for that. didn't realise he'd gone a bit mad

But shagging – incessant as it was – no longer seemed to have the required calming effect.”[/font]
One woman alleges that Brand raped her against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, according to medical records. Text messages show that in the hours after leaving his house, she told Brand that she had been scared by him and felt taken advantage of, adding: “When a girl sayNO it means no.” Brand replied saying he was “very sorry”.
A second woman alleges that Brand assaulted her when he was 31 and she was 16 and still at school. She said he referred to her as “the child” during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship that lasted for about three months, and that Brand once “forced his penis down her throat”, making her choke. She says she tried to push him off and said she had to punch him in the stomach to make him stop
