Former sex addict Russell Brand begs Lily Phillips to see her body as a temple and offers ‘protection’ in bizarre chat

FORMER sex addict and disgraced TV and film star Russell Brand has bizarrely begged Lily Philips to see her body as a ‘temple’.

Brand, 49, who now lives in the US full time - and routinely made jokes that demeaned women, reduced them to a punchline, and treated them as little more than sexual objects, also offered the model, 23, his ‘protection’ and ‘service’ after her 'escapades'.

Controversial OnlyFans star Lily recently met in a video call with Brand, who now claims to have and found God and become a Christian.

The adult content creator, who shot to overnight fame after she bedded 101 males in 24 hours, explained to Brand - who is now married - that she believes "in having multiple partners" rather than monogamy.

Whilst Brand claimed to see sex as ‘a condiment, an accompaniment to love’, when asked if there is a limit to where her jaw-dropping sex challenges will go, the influencer, who has become one of the most controversial women in the UK, confessed: “I have no clue. 

“I always said to myself I’ll stop when I stop enjoying it.”

Despite this, Lily, who has banked over £2million and was recently slammed as "bizarre" by another model, told Brand's YouTube subscribers: “I think sex can be special, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to have sex with one person for the rest of your life.”

But the actor and comedian, who moved his young family from Oxfordshire to Florida and in 2023 faced a probe from police force into claims of ‘harassment and stalking’, then told Lily: “Our culture doesn’t handle sex very well. 

“Now, there’s going to be generations of men and their understanding of sex, or one of the first things that’s going to hit them about sex, is your escapades, if I may call them that.

“I’m in no position to judge you, nor is anyone actually.

“There’s two things I’m really interested in - one is the impact of sex and sex for money and sex as performance on your soul, you Lily Phillips, on your precious soul and spirit, and also, all of us as human beings, what it does to us if we start to use sex as a currency.”

The former sex addict ‘who loved the chase of finding new lovers’ and was just days ago seen for the first time since the BBC apologised for a ‘culture of silence’ about his behaviour, then quoted a Bible reference and asked: “Did you not know that your body is a temple?”

It comes after reports that BBC staff were 'too scared' to speak up about Brand's shocking behaviour as ‘he’d always get his way’.

Last month, the Beeb published the findings of an investigation into his time as a presenter for BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music.

The Peter Johnston review looked at eight complaints between 2006 and 2008 with two made while he still worked for the BBC.

Only one of those was formally made to the corporation.

It found a number of people "felt unable to raise" concerns about the presenter and believed he "would always get his way and therefore they stayed silent".

It also said the actor and comedian was "perceived to be too influential" for staff to complain about.

The BBC admitted an incident relating to him urinating into a cup during a Radio 2 show was "not dealt with effectively".

And following Brand's new concerns over who Lily, who has been slammed as ‘vile’ and ‘disgusting’, has to talk to about personal matters, the Brit sex worker confessed: “I talk to my friends and my family a lot, not necessarily about my work, because when I see them I want it to be like, I’m not always an OnlyFans w***e. 

“With my mum, I won’t really talk about work much. Just my staff, I’ll talk about work to them.”

What is OnlyFans?

OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London.

As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators.

Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more.

While popular for porn, the site isn't exclusively designed with that in mind - anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up.

Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform.

"Whether you’re uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them," the company states.

For every subscription that's sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest.

It isn’t limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.

Not only this, but also in this strange chat, Brand, who was accused last September of sexual assault by four women between 2006 and 2013, and once made a disturbing joke about writing a ‘victims list’ during his treatment for sex addiction, bizarrely offered ‘protection’ to the young woman, who previously admitted she "doesn’t know what self respect is".

Brand, who denied any wrongdoing and said all his sexual relationships were "absolutely always consensual" and was quizzed by police in December over ­“further” sex offences, acknowledged: “When you become aware of someone in the environment, you get an initial impression of them. 

“And if someone is doing something as striking as you’re doing, for me, I feel a sense that I want to reach out to you a little bit.

“I suppose when I was younger and before I was married and had children, I suppose if I’d have heard of you, I would have been happy to see you as an object and not to investigate that a bit further.”

'Child of God'

In a bid to sympathise with Lily, who previously opened up on receiving death threats and faces a potential ban from Airbnb after she used a rental for a sexual stunt without informing the homeowner, Brand continued: “But as an adult man and as a man of God,  how I see you is a fellow child of God.”

Not only this, but Brand also admitted: “And part of me feels like, one day, if there is any way I can offer you some protection or service or counsel.” 

As well as this, Brand, who was once married to Katy Perry but then tied the knot with Laura Brand, 37, told Lily: “You are a child of God, that’s what I want to say to you.

“You are special and you are sacred. You deserve to be cherished and treasured in every aspect of your life.

“I want you to know that there is a path for you and that you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do.

“And I know that you aren’t doing anything you don’t want to do, but if ever you find yourself in that position, know that there is a path and a light for you.” 

To this, Lily responded: “I guess I don’t think of myself as special - just another girl.” 

Obsessed with sex

But this isn’t the first - and we’re sure it won’t be the last time - that viewers have been left gobsmacked after a Lily Phillips interview.

Recently, Lily, who is currently in Los Angeles, left people stunned when she begged women to "send husbands and boyfriends" to help her bed 1,000 blokes.

And the Brit sex worker - who didn’t have a boyfriend until she was 17, and lost her virginity just before her 18th birthday - explained that she is “obsessed with sex”.

And it was only when studying at Sheffield University, where she couldn’t attend a single lecture due to the Coronavirus pandemic, that she embraced one-night stands and launched her OnlyFans feed.

Lily, who officially joined OnlyFans in 2020, when she was just 19, admitted: “I’ve always been really sexual, just obsessed with sex in comparison to my friends.

“I always knew from a young age that I loved sex, there’s something about it that I’m obsessed with, and I always had an inkling that I would go into the adult industry.

“I really enjoyed sex and felt super confident to take things further.”

Cashing in

The self-proclaimed "bubbly and articulate" girl, who posts everything from sneaky peeks to full-blown porn on her hugely lucrative OnlyFans account, earns over six figures a month and employs eight staff – all women.

But when she first started posting on the platform, she had no idea it would turn out to be so profitable.

Lily, who recently broke down on a documentary by filmmaker Joshua Pieters, shared: “I definitely went into it thinking it would be a little bit on the side. I didn't even expect to do it for longer than a few months. 

“I’m making good money from it, I love it, why would I stop?
