Yo say Russell Brand can’t stoop much lower.

He has appeared in court this morning so I’m guessing he is in panic mode.
He seems to trying to use distraction tactics to avoid the reality of his past..
What about grooming gangs?
What about Southport?
I mean how low can you get to compare the Southport tragedy to what is happening in your life, both things have nothing to with him!
And if anyone is bored enough to try and explain his supporters to me feel free.. Lots of comments like, The government are trying to set him up because he has unlocked the matrix and got them all worried.
Are people really suggesting that he had kier Starmer so worried that the government have found four women willing to lie to the police about rape?
it’s completely insane.

I don’t think there’s a woman in the world who is surprised that this is who he is. You can see just by looking at him.

He is very intelligent

He really, really isn't.

He is a pathetic waste of skin and those in the stand up comedy, television and film industries who willfully ignored, covered up and enabled his vile, predatory behaviour for profit should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

I hope they throw away the fucking key. But I have very little faith in the criminal justice system so I won't hold my breath.

EnhancedVampireEyeballs · 02/05/2025 18:09

And nobody gets to tell me I'm not a 'genuine victim'. I know the truth.

Yes, similar comments around Conor mcgregor, it is chilling that people believe this crap when evidence is there of an assault crime and civil charges for rape, plus a line of accusers.
Then Donald Trump invites him to the white-house, crazy world.
He'll be at the top table with Donnie soon, no doubt.

Turned up with his shirt open. No respect for the courts. A complete narc 🤮

I thought that too, he looked like he had just woken up from a days long bender. He is the pits.

This is why prisoners always "find god" 🤮

Find God find out the fact that they are a woman suddenly become a victim of a bad childhood my sisters ex told the court he did what he did because they split up this was news to her watching him from the gallery a school friend got his girlfriend pregnant and told the court he was changing and wanted to be around for his child being born "please don't put me away" plea the judge said why would you do that knowing you were facing a custodial sentence? Basically called him an idiot he suspended his sentence but of course he re-offended and they locked him up

LlynTegid · 02/05/2025 18:04

I hope justice prevails. And if found guilty the maximum sentence.

Yes, anyone can say that on an anonymous forum. That's sort of the point.
Given that many survivors of rape and sexual abuse describe their experience of the so-called justice system as being as traumatic, if not more so, than the abuse itself it's hardly surprising that so many women choose to share their experiences on forums like this one rather than in real life.

Survivors of rape and sexual abuse get to decide for themselves whether they want to contact the Police. They are under no obligation to do so ans declining to do so does not mean their experience is any less "real" or "genuine".

Thank you for saying this. My hands are shaking so hard I can barely type. I very much appreciate the support.

Excuse me? Yes, anyone could, I'd be happy to send you my name and address, if that will satisfy your curiosity. Why didn't I report it to the Police? I don't live in the UK, it happened when I was drunk, young, and vulnerable. I was too traumatised to do so. Is that acceptable to you?

How long before Louis Theroux gives him a going over? I would like to see it.

Murdoch1949 · 02/05/2025 17:35

He's vile. Fled to America to make podcasts and earn from their dubious admiration of people like him. He married into the Gallagher family - Bernard a top golfer, Kirsty the TV presenter, married younger sister Laura - goodness knows what they think of him.

TaraRhu · 02/05/2025 11:05

He is in deep. He's trying it all - did you see he got baptised recently? What a load of rubbish. Clear his guilty conscience and clean his character

Blimming Bear Grylls, ex Head Scout, baptised him fgs.

2fallsagain · 02/05/2025 16:27

I think it's been called if you are in the same town as me (I'm sure you are as this can't have happened in two places!!) He came second with 25% of the vote. Libdem hold

I just think it's all really sad because there was a time I really really liked Russel brand! I thought he was quite hot and v intelligent, but also v funny which is a rare combo! (Quite a few celebs and others have two of those three things, but all three??)

So im gutted my pin up is a dick!! So sad!

I thought the same, except for finding him attractive. He is very intelligent, and quick witted with it.

EnhancedVampireEyeballs · 02/05/2025 16:24

I am not going into detail, but I can, from personal experience, absolutely confirm that he is a rapist. I hope he gets sent to prison. I hope he goes to fucking hell. I hope he gets even a drop of what he deserves.

Seeing his odious face on the news has genuinely made me vomit.

BuntyBeaufort · 02/05/2025 16:20

Locutus, it’s very sweet of you to assume I’m the messiah, but I’m really not.

Wahsingday · 02/05/2025 16:19

Whilst ordinarily you’d be right. This man’s ability to exhibit the absolute dregs of human behaviour is remarkable. He’s a total scumbag and I wouldn’t put much past him.

That generated one of the most ridiculous headlines I've ever seen:

Russell Brand being baptised in the River Thames by Bear Grylls

He was always one of those predators who hide in plain sight like Jimmy Saville.

Thank goodness for the SC ruling, or he’d be claiming to be a woman and therefore incapable of rape.

Christ, give it a rest.
