Burger King, along with\u200b several other major companies, has already removed advertisements from the video \u200bsite.<\/p>\n<p>A recent\u2063 investigation by The Sunday Times,\u200d The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches revealed sexual assault allegations from four\u2062 unidentified women against Brand. These alleged\u2064 victims accused him of rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse between 2006 and 2013.
