Katie Price has revealed an experience she had with Russell Brand at LAX airport.
The comedian is currently facing a number of sexual assault allegations after Channel 4's Dispatches and the Sunday Times published explosive reports on 16 September.
Brand denies the allegations and says they are part of a conspiracy by the ‘mainstream media’ against him.

Today (2 October), Thames Valley Police said they were investigating harassment and stalking allegations against Brand dating from 2018 to 2022.
The force said in a statement: "Thames Valley Police in the past two weeks received new information in relation to harassment and stalking allegations dating back to 2018.
"This information is being investigated; as such it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation."
Several celebs have shared their own experiences with Brand in the wake of the claims, and now Katie Price has spoken up.
Talking to G2 magazine, Katie first thought that Brand was a decent guy and she had met him a few times.
She said: “He was quite a nice guy, actually, quite funny.”
She revealed that the pair spent some time together back when she was dating Peter Andre, and that Brand himself had a girlfriend.
She recalled the moment at the LAX airport in Los Angeles, saying: “We were stuck in LAX airport with him once.
"He had his girlfriend with him and I was with Pete.
"He was trying to pull my stylist when his girlfriend was out there standing with her, so to me that says a lot.
“The truth always comes out in the end.”
Brand was always very public about his sex addiction, as well as his abuse of drugs and alcohol.
Katie once asked him on Loose Women if he had any advice about her ex-husband Kieran Hayler’s alleged sex addiction.
She says she told Brand: “I’ve said to Kieran - you need to go away for two months, and he said ‘I'm not going, because I'm not leaving you’. What do I say to that?"
Brand responded: “He has to surrender and accept help.
“You have to tell him he no longer has the right to be in control of the situation after what he's done to you.
“You have to be continually tuned in to them because a habit is a tendency.
“If he’s not working towards his recovery, he’s working towards his addiction.
“He has to admit you are the other component and as a society we need to stop propping them up.
“If it is causing you pain, let go of yourself."
Hayley previously claimed, however, that he and Price 'made up' his sex addiction after it was revealed he'd had an affair.
