Lily Allen on resurfaced rape joke made by Russell Brand: 'It makes me uncomfortable'

Lily Allen is calling out a rape joke at her expense made by comedians Russell Brand, Jimmy Carr and Jonathan Ross.

The English singer, 38, revisited an experience on the British television program "The Big Fat Quiz of the Year" in 2007, when the joke was made.

A clip from the show has resurfaced as rape and sexual assault allegations against Brand, 48, are coming to light.

At the top of the show, Ross, 62, moved Allen away from a panel that included Brand and comedian Noel Fielding, to the "sexless zone" to protect her because she was the "only sexually attractive" person on the panel.

"And then Lily may go home with her dress still on," Ross said.

"How dare you – we're not rapists," Fielding said back.

Host Carr, 51, then asked why Fielding, 50, was wearing a cape if he "wasn't a rapist," with Fielding clarifying that it was actually a Jack the Ripper cape.

"He wasn't a rapist, he was a ..." Fielding said, before Brand jumped in: "Serial murderer."

"There's a difference. There is no direct corollary between rapes and capes, it's just a rhyme. Leave him alone," Brand said.

In an interview with the magazine Grazia UK published on Monday, Allen said the experience was "horrendous" looking back, but at the time, she went along with it.

"I laugh along with it. In retrospect, that's really horrendous," she told the outlet. "It makes me uncomfortable, but I don't think I felt that at the time because it was the culture."

USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Brand, Carr, Fielding and Ross for comment.
