Disgusting video emerges of rapist Russell Brand's licking well-known actress Kristen Schaal on Aussie TV host Rove's couch

Video of disgraced comedian Russell Brand performing a disgusting act on a well-known actress while appearing on Australian TV host Rove's interview couch has resurfaced.

Brand, 51, was jailed for 10 years and six months on Monday after being convicted of raping a fan and carrying out three other sexual assaults.

The father-of-three was accused of groping women and forcing them into sexual acts in allegations spanning from 2004 to 2009.

Since then, his sleazy behaviour in media appearances has been looked at under a harsh new glare - not least his appearance on Rove McManus' Hollywood-based cable show Rove LA in October, 2012.

Brand was seated alongside fellow guests, Flight of the Conchords actress Kristen Schaal, and singer Adam Lambert, in front of a studio audience - in which this reporter was present. 

As Rove, now 52, read out a list of 'non-acceptable language' from his US network and declared there was to be 'no graphic or sexual acts', Brand interrupted.

'Rove, at the risk of disrupting your item, would it be considered a graphic or sexual item for me to lick inside Kristen's arm curtain?' he asked.

He then turned to Schaal, parted her sleeve, and began repeatedly licking her upper arm as she shrieked, 'No!' at least three times and cringed away from him.

She then screamed and leaned down to bite his leg, as Lambert awkwardly covered his eyes with his hand.

Rove then appeared to attempt to defuse the situation.

He grabbed Lambert's ankle and licked it, with Brand abandoning his attack on Schaal and continuing his oral frenzy on the singer - who cheered.

At the time, not knowing Brand had spent the previous decade abusing women, the studio audience could be heard laughing.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Rove's management for comment.

Brand, Schaal and Lambert were guests on the season two premiere of his two-season Rove LA run, which was filmed at a studio in Burbank. 

Rove and Brand have had a longtime association, with the disgraced Get Him to the Greek star appearing on several of his Aussie shows - including Rove and the 7pm Project.  

The Daily Mail does not suggest Rove knew Brand was a predator. 

Brand, a regular visitor Down Under, regularly displayed questionable behaviour toward female Australian journalists.

He infamously climbed into radio host Fifi Box's lap during an interview - she was an entertainment reporter at the time, in 2010 - and declared that he had got her pregnant. 

'If your name is Fifi Box, then what is your porn name?' he asked her elsewhere in the interview.  

Two years later, on Sunrise, he joked about her pregnancy. 'Who put that there?' he asked.

'Did you have it artificially inseminated?' he said, then told her he hoped it was as 'one of the reasons I came to this country was to finish you off'.

During another televised encounter in 2015, Brand then attempted to spread a rumour he was the father of her baby.

One panellist jokingly asked Brand how 'the mother of your child' was going. Fifi made clear the rumour was untrue.

He has also previously described Box as 'not a mother... you're an incubator' when she was pregnant with her daughter Trixie, now 13, whom she shares with former Iron Man Grant Kenny. 

Despite this, Box has previously defended her encounters with Brand, saying on The Project in 2015 that he was 'actually a beautiful person and a very dear friend to me'.

She has not commented on Brand's conviction. 

In 2012, during an interview with 60 Minutes veteran Liz Hayes, he planted a forceful kiss on her lips.

A crowd of at least seven of Brand's apparent entourage watched on as the incident unfolded, with several laughing along with Brand while Hayes was left visibly shocked by the ordeal, smiling awkwardly.

She gasped 'Russell' and he then partially released her from his grip just long enough to say: 'How can I undo your bra? Just like this...' as he put his arm on her back.

Hayes then gasped in shock as he strutted away grinning before turning around and saying: 'Liz, I love you!'

Liz, 70, relived the moment in a retrospective special in 2021 when she looked back on her four decades in journalism.

'When you interview Russell Brand you don't really know who's going to show up,' she said at the time.

'Seasoned as I am as a journalist, I am prepared for all events and all kinds of people.

'And when Russell Brand decided he would like to kiss me, well, you size up the situation.

'You think, 'Mmm-hmm. Am I in danger? What could go wrong?"'

Brand had earlier warned her in the interview: 'I'm a tricky little swine. I'm a trickster. I'm a raven. I'm a playful coyote looking for mischief.'

Australian model Lara Worthington has found herself on the receiving end of Brand's attention.

He praised her 'beautiful perfect nose and profile' during a discussion about paparazzi and jokingly called her 'racist' when she offered him a bottle of fake tan.

The television appearances all took place after the offences for which Russell was convicted.
