Should have been obvious given his ride at Alton Towers has shut and his publisher has dropped his titles all in the last two weeks.

Er yes - it was obvious and everyone knew?

I feel the same. I don’t think anything will change either, as much as I’d like it to of course. So depressing isn’t it.

I just want women to be able to go to work, be in the world, walk down the street , get in a taxi - without this endless worry that we will be physically violated or harmed. Particularly when we are younger.

He is repugnant and used his creepy queer-baiting as a smokescreen as Brand did. I said this at the time but was accused of being 'frigid'. Righty ho.

I say this all the time! I don’t want it to sound like I’m saying all men are the same because obviously they’re not, but WHY do so many males as soon as they get power and money act like this?? It’s so terrifying to think of what so many men will do when they believe they can get away with it due to their status

Show quote history

Sadly it's not restricted to men with power/money.

Look at the cases where husbands have drugged wives and invited total strangers to rape them.
Ordinary average men in plain sight.
Then think about how many men got the invitation, didn't take it up BUT DIDNT GO TO THE POLICE.

It may not be all men but the evidence suggests the majority are so inclined.

This truly was the worst kept secret ever. The injunction was utterly pointless as everyone already knew who it related to.

If anything it just bought more attention to the allegations. People who would have seen a headline about him and thought “oh yeah always thought he was a bit sleazy” and moved on are now far more interested in the full story.

the80sweregreat · 10/11/2026 12:39

Another factor with a lot of these allegations and convictions, the BBC! What a totally corrupt outfit that is.

Who’s next?

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 10/11/2026 12:34

Horrible slimy letchy man.

I wonder if he will stay true to his own words.😳

PinkFrogss · 10/11/2026 12:33

I clocked this pretty quickly on the guardian article, and on many Russel Brand articles. Another male celebrities name seems to be not just regularly mentioned, but bought attention to, in the articles. Wonder what they’ve got on him, I don’t think it’s coincidence the media keep tying his name to these 2.

KidsDoBetter · 10/11/2026 12:33

I am just feeling fucking weary. Weary of all this shit.

Not all men of course. But essentially always ... men.

Dreamingofsnowymornings · 10/11/2026 12:32

Another one hiding in plain sight. BBC reports an allegation of grooming a 15 year old fan.

Why are so many men depraved?

Gettingbysomehow · 10/11/2026 12:31

What's wrong with these men? Someone at my place of work has just been fired and struck off for this. He has five kids to support.
He even tried it on with me. Im in my 60s and he is 20 years younger. I just said fuck off don't even think about it and walked off but younger wo.en were traumatised by it.
What the hell?

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 10/11/2026 12:29

Not surprised either.

MrsBananaman · 10/11/2026 12:28

I’m not surprised at all. Had a bad feeling about him since Little Britain. Such misogyny.

Freemefromic · 10/11/2026 12:26

Here we go then! Another predator to be investigated.

WhispersOfWinter · 10/11/2026 12:24

The worst kept secret and he was outed on Sky news the other day. Everything about him just screams sleezy 🤢

BillieWiper · 10/11/2026 12:24

Sartre · 10/11/2026 12:23

The Guardian have officially named him. He allegedly groomed a 15 year old girl.
