Noel Fielding..

[CurlewKate]

… is very silent about Russell Brand, isn’t he?

They dont strike me as being the same type at all. I cant imagine Noel going round raping people somehow.

Sadly, I agree. Its hard for me to agree as I used to be a fan but this speaks volumes. I really hope he WILL say something.

‘What if, horror of horrors, he ain't even done a rape. You could ruin his reputation’

I doubt he did but he was around RB and was friends with him.

He was happy to joke about rape.
He hung round with a rapist.

Yes he looks like him so must be just like him!! 🤦‍♀️

we can’t just go around accusing people who hang around terrible people of the same crime, if there’s evidence out there the tabloids will find it ! I’m no fan of any of these men, but hopefully IF they have committed a crime they will be up before a judge!

I’d be so sad if NF was the same as Brand…

Years ago, I'd heard that The Mighty Boosh was popular so I picked up the annual in a bookshop. It had jokes about rape in it. YUK!

Russell Brand always gave me the creeps from when I saw him on the BB thing.

I started reading Howard Jacobson's Roots Schmoots and he was singing the praises of RB. The book went to the charity shop straight away.

God this is awful!!
The only positive (ish) thing I can think is that this clip really does show its age... I THINK (hope??) that 19 years later comments like the 3 of them made (JR included) would not be met with gales of laugher from an audience.
Hopefully times have moved on a bit...

Absolutely. I said the same thing when watching Bake Off this week. They were very close friends when Brand was bragging about his bed hopping, so I’m pretty sure there’s something there, but whether or not he was just Brand’s wingman, or he too did something, will remain to be seen. I guess there’s a lot of celebs out there currently who are a little worried…

No, I've always found him creepy.

But why would he? He’d be putting himself out there into the middle of something he’d probably prefer to keep out of. Just because he might come out with a statement saying he wasn’t involved in any of the dark things Brand did, doesn’t mean people will believe him, so it might hugely backfire.

I was going to say something like this. As far as I know (could be wrong), Noel Fielding has not been accused of these sort of crimes.

Plus, does everyone have to issue a statement whenever anything happens? He may decide that the world doesn’t need to hear his thoughts on RB’s conviction.

The problem seems to be, in my opinion is that you cant judge people today on what was deemed appropriate in the past (different if its a crime, obviously)
Popular culture changes over the years, some comedy has always been edgy, some people thought it was ok, others didnt.
I dont really watch many comedians now as many of them are about as funny as explosive diarrhea

What on earth does looking very similar have to do with anything?

They had a very similar style; very tight skinny trousers, lots of black clothes, backcombed longish black hair, a bit of make up. It was that sort of edgy, gothy, grungey and slightly androgynous look of the time. Johnny Depp had it, I suppose you could say Robert Smith started it, lots of them have stuck with it because it's become their trademark look. So what? What on earth do you think it implies about Noel Fielding in relation to Russell Brand being a convicted sex offender?

Guilt by association.

Tick Tock Noel

… Tick Tock

I don't like watching anything with Norton in it. I still remember his vile, vulgar chat show from this era.

I should think there are numerous men from the industry feeling nervous this weekend, and rightly so.

He didn't have a tantrum, or storm off set. It seems he just stopped turning up. That was in Jan 2025. RB wasn't charged until April. Still, if you're going to lie, might as well go for it.

Noel was going out with Pixie Geldof when she was 16 and he was in his 30s.

Lots of his fans and fans of Boosh were underage/teenage girls.

He fell out quite severely with Julian Barratt. But nobody knows why...

Yeah there is something a bit whiffy around him and I think it might be coming out soon.

I mean I hope not. He was in a long term relationship with a woman his age for a long time. But that doesn't stop some people does it?

Well they were not exactly joined at the hip, they did a few things together and I very much doubt that NF done anything similar. Finding someone guilty by association is a bit dodgy. But he needs to make it clear where he stands in all this.

Edited to add: id NF did do something I would expect people to come forward now, they would have no reason not to.

NF "dated" a school child when he was in his 30s - that's a known, uncontested fact, isn't it?

RB is under investigation for "dating" and raping a school child of the same age when he was in his 30s. The Met have announced that.

I might sound awful but it wasn't any school child, it was Pixie Geldof. Not an excuse, I know - but its not like he just plucked a teen out of high school. Also, I think NF dated her because she was Geldof's daughter, not because she was a teen.

From Ch4 documentary it looks like RB did date several young girls who were exactly that - just out of school. It also looked liked he specifically targeted them.
