Vanessa Feltz gives Russell Brand a firm no when he makes a sexual proposition during a television interview. It is one of several archival encounters news.com.au has assembled in a compilation published following his conviction for rape and three counts of sexual assault, as the outlet reports.

The video has drawn roughly 12,000 views in its first eight hours. Rather than new interviews or courtroom reporting, it presents footage from his years as a television guest and presenter.

The opening shows Brand commenting on Mika Brzezinski's low-cut dress during a Morning Joe appearance. Later, an MTV UK segment shows him questioning model Caprice Bourret about her underwear and discussing masturbation in front of the studio audience.

The Australian footage comes from Liz Hayes's 60 Minutes interview. Greeting her beside a golf cart, Brand repeatedly hugs her and kisses her cheek, then undoes her bra strap. The sequence appears just over three minutes into the compilation.

Elsewhere, a Big Fat Quiz of the Year seating switch leads to jokes about sexual assault. The edit places those remarks alongside the direct refusals and physical interactions, returning attention to what was broadcast as entertainment at the time.
