Russell Brand Dropped by Agent After Rape and Sexual Assault Accusations
Russell Brand Dropped by Agent After Rape and Sexual Assault Accusations
Women’s charity that the actor-comedian raised funds for also cuts ties: “We are deeply saddened and upset by the stories”
There was previously discussion about Russell Brand denying allegations that were to be shown in a TV documentary, and now things are developing.
There is zero chance the agent didn't know what Brand was up to, this is nothing but an exercise in ass covering..
They knew 3 years ago and suggested suing her:
Years later, in 2020, the woman went to Brand’s agency Tavistock Wood to tell them about the relationship and sought an apology; instead, she received a letter from Brand’s lawyer accusing her of seeking money.

Well I didn't know he was guilty till I heard that list of defenders
Even at the risk of guilt by association, the people who come to defend tell a lot about a person.
It's like a cavalcade of awful people. People who spout hate and misinfo and have somehow accumulated an audience of followers.
To be fair on the last one, Brand is married to Kirsty Gallacher's sister. I'd be shocked if she didn't know he was a wrong-un, and IIRC she had her own allegations a while back.
Does Ashton Kutcher still support him?
this guy is such a fucking cunt I literally felt like curb stomping him when I watched some of his videos regarding covid and the invasion of Ukraine, he is just so fucking stupid and he has no idea, same as Joe Rogan, well maybe even worse, more on the level of Peterson.
blamed the invasion of Ukraine on the West, because5if Ukraine opened it's market to foreign investment so of course Russia had to invade, what an absolute wanker.
Look up "the wellness to fascism pipeline". Brand is the poster child of someone who had very left leaning politics, became interested in self help and natural living, fell down the anti-vax rabbit hole, and is now a conservative grifter. He realized that he wasn't getting more popular over time doing comedy, so he gravitated towards being a misinformation node.
Yea, used to really like him and then he just started spouting dumb shit. :/

Correct:

Well I hope she gets that money now!!
This is the first I'm hearing about it, but doesn't surprise me at all. If I made a list of famous people who seem like sex offenders Russel would very close to the top.
Slavoj Žižek for me.
Apparently, Brand has been running from this shit for a long time, and jumped on the Fascist conspiracy grift train because no reputable movie or TV studio will hire him.
elon musk, alex jones and andrew tate are vouching for him. So he is probably guilty. If piers morgan vouches for him he is definitely guilty.
But have Ashton and Mila written private letters to the judge yet?
This guy always annoyed me, if he's "censored" because of his bad behavior, I doubt many sane people will miss him. I remember seeing him on Maher (yeah, yeah, I know) not too long ago and he was just insufferable - even more so than usual. If he went down the "just asking questions" rabbit hole, that's little surprise.
And - unfortunately, I know a lot of people like this IRL - people that started off maybe a bit wacky, but at least on the surface, lefties, only to end up voting for donnie, and going full maga, with the gear and everything. And believe me - NO ONE wants to talk to them about anything past basic weather comments; the minute they start up with the ItWasAPlandemicChineseGlobalWarmingHoaxHunterBidensLaptop stuff, people are crawling over each other to get to the exits.
I feel like theres a "clever spiral" where witty and observant people become addicted to the praise and attention they get from seeing through the bullshit and pointing out overlooked thruthisms.
The trouble is, clever isn't the same as informed. It takes effort to be informed, to be educated, and it's pretty easy to spot flaws in other people's logic. It's subtly tempting to slide from "I think we should rethink the way we treat each other," to "Maybe there is a government conspiracy to inject mind control via vaccines."
Because the world is fucked up, and the vast majority of people take too much for granted. They live unexamined lives, and a person can come along and hold up a mirror for laugh and profit. Eventually, though, the observant ones run out of low hanging fruit, and if they want to stay relevant, they either need to put in some effort or start making shit up.
Oh my god, I remember the Maher bit, you could tell Bill was getting pissed off about this guy coming on and spewing conspiracy theories. Actively rooting against Brand ever since! I believe all these allegations are probably true, as Brand seems to have a very tenuous relationship with reality.
The guy always gave me the creeps.
And you still can! Only now you can see Brand, errr, Snow as the narcissistic womanizing asshole that he is!
I really liked him. Get him to the Greek is one of my favorite movies.
Innocent until proven guilty, so I'm going to hold off on judgement ( not that my judgement matters). There seems to be A LOT working against him here. He's not cancelling tours and losing his agent if people thought this was unfair - sometimes up.
There's a lot of rape apologists in this thread though. As much as he's innocent before proven guilty, so is his accuser. "All it takes is an accusation to ruin a perfectly good career". Y'all should be ashamed. That doesn't happen without MAJOR consequences for a false accusation, as well as consequences for any media outlet that ruins the story without due diligence. It's extremely hard to prove rape cases, meaning that if it's gotten this far, there's enough evidence to put it into print. This is global news, and NOBODY has come out with any compelling story as to why the accuser is lying.
Bottom line, none of us really understand what actually happened, and everyone seems too eager to write off Brand or his accuser. Chill out. More info will come.
I'm not a real fan of his. He seems like a pretentious twat to me. I agree though, at this point it's allegations so could be totally false. It is shit though that things like this can tarnish someone's name when they turn out to be not guilty.
Reminds me of the "Stereophonics - A Thousand Trees" song
Well, on another site i saw a gif/video of Brand defending himself. To sum up, he said he has been very open about his past promiscuity many times in the past, all encounters were consensual, has witnesses contradicting the accusations, it's a very directed agenda by specific media towards discrediting him and to stay tuned for how it turns out.
Well yeah, of course he's gonna say that.
He didn't have witnesses contradicting the stories of him using force on the women.
How do you know? Was he already on trial and failed to provide such witnesses?
How to destroy anyone's life if you hate them:
- Accuse them of sexual assault from 2000 years ago, and rely on dumb people's emotions and corruption.
- Profit!
Clown world.
- There hasn't been any need to fabricate sexual assault allegations. Brand has had a long history of unwanted sexual advances and in the ages before #MeToo he could get away with it. Many women have come forward with their experiences about Brand and now the police is investigating this.
- Brand has been trying to profit for the last few years by grifting MAGA/QAnon folks.
The history is filled with fabricated sexual assaults. Kavanaugh, Justin Bieber, Justin Roiland, Andy Signore, and the list goes on. They all get completely destroyed before the evidence shows in the dumb court of "public opinion", and then they get absolved of the charges because guess what... women lie, like everyone else. Humans lie. So, we have "innocent until proven guilty" and "due process". That, or nothing. Shut your mouth and don't make shit up. I hope this happens to you and you get destroyed and lose everything until the evidence shows you're innocent and then no one gives a shit. Maybe then you'll learn, you evil little piece of shit.
Who's profiting? Can you provide an example with Brands case?
Russel Brand is fighting the establishment and hurting the big pockets, see the video below, and there's absolutely zero proof he did anything whatsoever. It's just anonymous with zero evidence, zero investigations, and just anonymous nonsense. Once this goes to court, then we talk about legitimacy. Innocent until proven guilty.
All it takes is an accusation.
If all it took was an accusation he would have been removed from any and all positions of power a long long time ago, and at least a few of the women he raped would have been spared.
Instead, and even with many accusations (and not only proof but essentially his own admission), assholes like you will still jump to the rapists defence and pretend as if the whole entire system isn't rigged in their favour.
You are an active part of the problem.
I'm not on anybody's side. If he's guilty, there has to be proof. If the legal courts deem him guilty, then he should be punished to the full extent of the law. It shouldn't be up to a kangaroo court, with a limited view of facts and primarily allegations, to make a judgement.

Claiming to be promiscuous doesn't make one a rapist. By that logic anybody going through their slutty years is a rapist. And if screenshots are proof to you, I don't know under which rock you've been living, but you might have noticed that tech is able to fake voices and even video now.
People like you are the actual problem - jumping to conclusions. "They said he's guilty, so I say he's guilty". Save your grandeur and moralistic posturing.
