Russell Brand: Police receive new allegations as former partner Jemima Goldsmith speaks out | 5 News
5 News is within touching distance of 200 million lifetime views, with daily viewing running at nearly twice its usual level. Subscribers also increased over the week, though more modestly than views.
The most-watched new upload was Dani Sinha's report on further allegations against Russell Brand, reaching roughly 132,000 views. It distinguishes his convictions for rape and sexual assault from additional allegations police are reviewing. Jemima Goldsmith's account of violence, coercive control and abuse during their relationship also features, alongside Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy's statement: "Our work isn't done."
That report remains the channel's busiest individual video right now, with a newer report about a burglar posing as a fire alarm engineer drawing views at almost the same daily rate. The latter covers an attack on an elderly man and an increased prison sentence following an appeal.
Beyond those investigations, coverage of the fatal motorway crashes in Bulgaria was the week's second-most-watched upload. The wider selection included Kemi Badenoch's proposed welfare cuts and reporting on the entertainment industry's response to allegations against David Walliams, which he denies.
Among nearby-sized broadcasters, nzherald.co.nz had a similar weekly gain in views, while Private Eye Magazine recorded a particularly strong increase in subscribers. For 5 News, the week brought audience growth across a varied news agenda, with its Brand investigation update attracting the largest audience among the new reports.
English comedian, actor and media personality who was convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2026 and sentenced to ten years and six months in prison.
