Russell Brand didn’t let bombshell rape and sexual assault charges stop him from soaking up the sun this weekend. Just one day after UK authorities formally charged him with multiple counts of sexual misconduct, the embattled comedian was spotted enjoying a carefree beach day in Miami with his wife, Laura, and their two young children.

TMZ snapped photos of the family laughing and playing in the waves like it was any ordinary Saturday. Brand, shirtless and beaming, dunked his signature long locks in the surf while Laura held their infant son, born in 2023.

Their older daughter joined in the splash fest too, completing what appeared to be a picture-perfect vacation moment-despite the legal storm swirling around them.

Is Brand taking the accusations seriously?

The laid-back beach day came on the heels of Brand being charged in the UK with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault for alleged incidents dating between 1999 and 2005. But judging by his Florida getaway, the 48-year-old isn’t letting the headlines shake him-at least not publicly.

Brand was also seen Friday outside the posh Gasparilla Inn in Boca Grande, where he’s reportedly renting a luxe beachfront villa. Eyewitnesses say he looked relaxed, casually strolling with his family just hours after the charges became public.

Brand looks forward to his day in court

In a video statement posted to his social media followers, Brandaddressed the situation head-on, saying he’s “incredibly grateful” to finally have his day in court.

While admitting to being a “sex addict, drug addict, and an imbecile” in his younger years, he insisted, “I’ve never engaged in non-consensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.”

Brand is scheduled to go live on his Rumble show Monday, where many expect he’ll speak further about the allegations. For now, though, it seems he’s sticking to surf, sun, and family time.
