Russell Brand was approached by the security guard and instructed to leave.
Comedian Russell Brand was reportedly threatened with arrest by the Fox News headquarters' security guard after he started filming an episode of his webcast The Trews without permission.
The 39-year-old was scheduled to appear in Fox News network's Hannity. The show is hosted by Sean Hannity, who cancelled his appearance on the TV show.
Russell showed up outside the headquarters and started filming his webcast. Russell was approached by the security guard and instructed to leave, but he said he was entitled to stay there, at which the guard threatened him with arrest, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
Russell later went inside the Fox News building and asked for a tour, but was again asked to leave. He also tried to leave a message with the receptionist for Sean.
"Whether the subject is Islamophobia or just the freedom to be in a lobby, Fox is a difficult organisation to work with," Russell said outside the building. Russell had previously criticised Sean for his views on the Gaza conflict.
