Russel Brands eyes

I don't remember reading that. Obviously that's appalling

It's not like you know what's in the book before you buy it! 🙄

It seems he was a nasty piece of goods from the word 'go'...

In his 2007 autobiography My Booky Wook, Russell Brand confessed to being cruel to his childhood family dog, Topsy.
The passage described a recurring cycle of behavior from when he was roughly 11 years old:

• The Lure: After a rule was introduced banning Topsy from the upper floor of the house, Brand would sit at the top of the stairs and coax the dog to come up to him ("Topsy! Topsy! Topsy!").
• The Abuse: Once the nervous dog cautiously climbed up to the forbidden area, Brand would scold her and violently kick her back down to the bottom of the stairs.
• The Pretended Sympathy: He would then run downstairs to cuddle and comfort Topsy, later comparing the dynamic to having an "evil twin" upstairs and a "good twin" downstairs.

And you still thought he was attractive ? - wow !

Ha ha! I've always referred to him as 'Poundland Jack Sparrow'

Horrendous. That poor dog 😓
If you can do that to an animal, then that's very telling. The man is sick

always thought he was sleaze. I remember he was constantly on telly/ in the papers 20+ yrs ago and I just couldn’t figure out what women saw in him (from memory he was # something the sexiest man in the world or something at some point).

Not me. I never thought he was anything but a mouthy sleaze. Also I never read the book.

I thought he was funny when he first started out and fancied him a bit. But the lore he spoke the less I liked him- he uses a huge amount of word salad to try and convince the world he is intelligent, however if you actually understand the words he uses then some times he makes absolutely no sense at all!!!
can’t stand him and haven’t liked him for years.

I’ll admit I quite liked him. Thought he was attractive liked his comedy, though he did get a bit wordy and political sometimes which isn’t really my thing.

however I’m completely unsurprised when he was accused of rape and sexual assault. He’s done a lot of drugs and alcohol and sex and had a messed up childhood and a very high opinion of himself. I don’t think he set out with a plan to rape women, more that I don’t think he actually occurred to him that some people didn’t want to have sex with him.

I don't think David Walliams is sleeping well at night at the moment!

As I said, I don't remember reading that part of the book at all. It was over 2 decades ago....

how can that not stick in your mind?

I thought that today when the news was on

No idea. I don't think I even finished the book....🤔 It was from the library
