Russell Brand accused of rape, sexual assaults and abuse

The idea that Elon Musk and Andrew Tate think that publically backing him helps quash any suggestion of bad actions is laughable.

No part of this is surprising except that it hasn't come to light a decade ago.

Once upon a time I actually liked Russell Brand. Thought he was intelligent and quite in touch with the ways of the world despite his eccentric character. He truly lost the plot when covid came around, although it wasn't the first time he'd talked absolute shite.

In hindsight, it's not really a surprise that he'd be this kind of person.

And in news that surprised absolutely no one...

It's always the ones you mostly suspect.

Kutcher and Kunis' phones ringing off the hook right now.

You know we have a real problem in our society when these women haven't been able to come forward with these allegations until the press have contacted them.

If they fear coming forward after being assaulted by someone who is hardly discreet about being a sexual predator, what must it be like for the victims of more outwardly respectable public figures?

Can we make a list of right wingers that aren't disgusting pieces of shit? Will be much quicker.

Never did like that guy. He seemed like a creep from the start, and I didn't ever find him funny.

Completely and utterly damning. He's a rapist. I hope an investigation and conviction follows this reporting. Also maybe now's the time to codify that 16 year olds shouldn't be fair game for 30 year old men.

What an absolute asshole monster

That Times article should come with a trigger warning, it contains descriptions of the assaults.

He's a link that bypasses the paywall https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetimes.co.uk%2Farticle%2Frussell-brand-rape-sexual-assault-abuse-allegations-investigation-v5hxdlmb6

Not a single person with a brain is surpriced. The guy is a GLOWING red flag.

When he came out getting super loud and obnoxious on political takes I figured he was the type. No surprise at all...

This is not good for the Brand.

Didn't he non-consensually post candid pics of Katy Perry without makeup? I thought he was an asshole ever since then. Not that she should've been ashamed, but it should've been her choice.

I don't know the non-consensual bit for sure, but that's how I recall it being presented at the time and why I've never liked him. I'd never heard of the fucker before that.

Throw the booky wook at him!

Another right wing repugnant ghoul. Shocking

Not surprised. Will blame it on the drugs and drink. Slap in the wrist, British tabs will have their fun, then it will all go back to normal.

...to the surprise if nobody

Ah. So that is why I saw a headline about him bitching.

I am shocked. Shocked I tell you!

Bloody hell. That is messed up.

I'm sure the sort of people who fall for his dog whistle conspiracy brain damage will take these allegations seriously. Oh wait, of course they won't.

Not surprised. This dude has always been a chode

Paywall

What he did to Katy Perry is when he became dead to me. Now I hope he dies in jail.

Another person I've never heard of

I've only seen six or seven "news" posts about this chode this morning. Step it up people. Let's get it up to a dozen or two. Please keep posting about smelly looking British man.

I'm sure if there is ample reliable evidence charges will be brought against him, until then I'll keep my pitchfork at home

Not a fan of Brand but I am sick of this media circus bullshit.. they should not be publishing this unless a police investigation has taken place and he is charged and found guilty in court; we have a legal system for a reason.

They have opened themselves up to be sued for slander.

And so close to elections Now nobody will believe anything he says.... how convenient

Pretty serious libel here...

I am certainly not defending Russell of these accusations, but I do see but just a quick search that the Times UK is a conservative paper and would love to tales Russell down as he is a threat for sure right or wrong.
