Me thinks this is gonna end poorly for Mr. Brand...

The literary agency Tavistock Wood, who had been listed as Brand’s representative, told CNN on Saturday that “Brand categorically and vehemently denied the allegation made in 2020, but we now believe we were horribly misled by him. TW has terminated all professional ties to Brand.”

This attitude is why you guys' movement is full of scumbags.

The ultra progessive movement? Do you know who Russel Brand is?

So you're saying anti-vaxxers are rapists.

I'm saying rapists are protected as long as they espouse the correct political views.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

I'm saying rapists are protected as long as they espouse the correct political views.

Like Bill Cosby?

Ya, surprising that this all coming out at a point when he's gaining a lot of attention with his counter narratives.

He's been doing his "counter narrative" shit for a few years now. He's not suddenly gaining a lot of attention at the tail end of 2023

It was a Jordan Peterson joke.

We would already know if that was the case as it’s rather regular that the media report on super injunctions and a politician probably would have already named him using parliamentary privilege. It could very much be a case of a rich cunt using his lawyers to scare victims into silence

They (English and Welsh media) cannot report on it or they will get sued etc. The ones that are common knowlegde were either

• Leaked in Paralment (Giggs)
• Failed attempts to get one lor later removed(Beckham, Terry)
• Or the poeple who had them came clean (Clarkson, Marr)

The rest are just unsubstantiated rumours like " Ministers secret love child to join House of Lords" . My guess is that Brand had one but it has just been removed by a judge. Plus I'm sure some in the media didn't want another Saville story on their hands.

I didn’t even like him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

The ultra progessive movement? Do you know who Russel Brand is?

The CT movement. And it's practically associated with the nutter right, regardless of the ideals trumpeted by members.

Looks like that's the end of brand "Russell Brand".
Got famous only about 10 years ago and as spectacular a fall.

Thing is he does seem an overall nice guy, but I suppose that's part of his schtick to an extent. Being a drug addict and sex addict its possible for there to be some truth to the allegations and he has a dark side, but it remains to be seen and what comes of any police investigations since this has come through the media first and apparently they solicited the statements from the victims.

 

[jrams]

Well no I haven’t. I’ve clearly indicated I’m inclined to believe what allegations come out. What I have asked is “why now” in one hour these allegations will be broadcast on a station he worked for and not before

He became competition with his YouTube show.

He seems like an obvious one to look into during MeToo. That it took 5 years for any of the allegations to come out is not a good look.

 

[cheesus]

Not totally surprised, the guys life revolved around sex and drugs for a large portion of his life. Still going to see how this plays out before making any definitive judgement calls though.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Man right wingers really saw people playing the victim card a few years ago and were like "Hold my beer. I can cry and whine way better than that"

 

[Zazen]

So now it's "they are coming after him" instead of "groomer" because he's anti-vaxx. Jesus Christ, these people have no principles at all.

 

[cincymma79]

Maybe we wait until after there's been a trial before making assumptions.

It is the sort of thing these governments do and he’s also a crackhead at the time this would’ve happened so totally plausible. It does have all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation though.

I just checked. In 2019 his videos got an average of 100-200K views and he talked about inoffensive new agey and self-help topics. In 2021 he started being critical of restrictions and various chess moves by large corporations and government, and his average views per video shot up to 1M, 1.5M each. So that's 1.5M people per video listening to a narrative that directly threatens the powerful. In other words the argument that he might have gone from non-threat -> threat is very reasonable; your argument is rubbish.

So he's been "a threat" for 3 years now.
Sounds like you debunked your own argument

Yeah like what are we suggesting? That the shadow government or whoever you guys think is planting evidence on these people waited until the whole thing had passed to finally frame him?

I think all the CT boneheads need to learn what Occams razor is

He never misses
