Pop star Dannii Minogue angrily branded Russell Brand a “vile predator” as far back as 2006, accusing him of scaring her by perverting with her “fabulous breasts” and refusing to “take no for an answer.”
The Australian singer detailed her alarming experience with Brand in an appearance on his short-lived MTV show “1 Leicester Square,” 17 years before he was accused of being a serial sex offender this weekend.
“He’s completely mad and a bit of a vile predator,” Minogue, then 34, told the Mirror in a 2006 interview that resurfaced after the latest allegations.
“I certainly don’t think he’s cured his sex addiction, that’s for sure. “I wouldn’t take no for an answer.”
Minogue, the younger sister of “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” hitmaker Kylie Minogue, claimed Brand followed her down a hallway pestering her for her phone number even though she “just didn’t want to.” “He was my type.”
“Throughout the entire interview, he kept making shocking comments that I can’t even repeat,” she told the UK newspaper at the time, saying they included lewd comments about her “fabulous breasts.”
“Just saying those words would make me blush,” he said.

“He always goes too far,” he said of the now famous “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” actor. “Never far enough to slap him, but usually too far.”
Minogue added that although Brand is “obviously very intelligent”, the amount of makeup he was wearing put her off.
“He’s just not my type,” she said, shaking her head in disbelief at her uncomfortable experience.
