Don't think so but i didn't see the 60 minutes one.
Never really liked the guy, not that I don't like dirty jokes, just never really found him funny.. reminds me of a mildly amusing interview I heard years ago with actual comedian Tim Heidecker:

Not sure I've ever been less surprised.
Afterward, the complaint has alleged, Mr Brand followed the woman into a restroom, where he again pulled down his pants. He then allegedly shoved her into a stall and forced her to perform a sexual act on him, all while a production crew member allegedly stood directly outside as if to guard the door.

According to the lawsuit, Mr Brand was visibly intoxicated during the production and exposed his genitalia to the plaintiff as he sat at a table staring at her, "openly and obviously in the presence of everyone on set," including film studio employees who allegedly treated his behaviour as acceptable.Afterward, the complaint has alleged, Mr Brand followed the woman into a restroom, where he again pulled down his pants.

Only thing surprising is that he got away with it for so long before it's become public.

Not really, a lot of other prominent figures got away with their abuse for ages before it finally came to light.
eg Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Rolf Harris etc
Me too movement has kicked over a lot of rocks and exposed people who got away with things for far too long

Bit too spendy.
Cheap prop for a bad taste party. I might even watch some of his stand-up material one day just to see if it's as bad as I've heard it is

Nice!
Reminds me of Stewart Lee's Content Provider tour. He constructed the set from stand-up comedy DVDs purchased on Ebay as they were "the cheapest building material he could find"!!!
There are probably many, many uses for Russell Brand DVDs!

Sleight of Hand
There is a cultural issue around this.
Brand after all was a transgressive lefty. He was promiscuous, a user of women, and not shy about it.
And he was celebrated for it.
“Hahaha, how funny? Recovering drug addict and current sex addict. What a legend.”
Turns out some of his conquests may not have enjoyed it as much as him.
Maybe a wide spread reflection in our standards as a society is in order?
Also, yeah, I’m open to this being a hit job.
