I am no fan of litigation cultue but if I was her I'd slap a sexual harrassment claim on him before he could blink.
She won't though will she, if she values her career. Absolutely appalling behaviour.

Brand has built an entire career on being boringly childish 'outrageous' and I strongly suspect that stories like this are deliberately put out simply to keep the myth going.

All good pre publicity for the film Hmm

ChaosTrulyReigns · 03/08/2012 11:15

He is an utter prat.

Numberlock · 03/08/2012 11:15

"Russell is a charming scoundrel". That's not how I would describe him, cannot abide the man, he's an oxygen thief.

Appalling that he's got away with this but it's Friday and I don't want to get angry before the weekend!

squeakytoy · 03/08/2012 11:16

nice bit of manufactured publicity for what is likely to be a flop film though...

MoominmammasHandbag · 03/08/2012 11:16

Really Cogito? But won't people just think he is an utter twat?

He is a talent-free zone and a waste of space. And a misogynist. And an arsehole. And now a bully apparently. Lovely Hmm

EdgarOlymPic · 03/08/2012 11:19

i always thought he was a twunt.

this does not change my opinion of him.

JumpingThroughHoops · 03/08/2012 11:19

I always want to dunk him in dettol

MoominmammasHandbag · 03/08/2012 11:20

I am amazed that this could be considered good publicity. I think I have left my values somewhere back in the leftie eighties. We would have tarred and feathered him back at my Uni.

I think squeakytoy has the right idea with this. Doubt it happened tbh.

SpringHeeledJack · 03/08/2012 11:22

hold on

it's the Currant Bun

NI and Brand have history so would be surprised if any of this was true

Kennyp · 03/08/2012 11:24

Any publici is good publicity for russell brand plus the wardrobe girl will go on ricki lake and brand will go on ellen and the story will follow them around and it might get more bums on seats, although not mine for sure

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 03/08/2012 11:32

The comments below are funny. "grimy idiot "

Numberlock · 03/08/2012 11:50

Pickles - thanks for that, I missed the comments below.

My personal favourite:

I'm not gonna leave the pub tonight unless the barmaid flashes her breasts. But hey, that's just me...I'm a charming scoundrel.

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 03/08/2012 11:53

He doesn't seem to have many fans!

FalseStartered · 03/08/2012 11:55

arf at 'grimy'

and probably smelly

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 03/08/2012 11:59

He reminds me of a beardy angry little pepperami. God know what the ladies see in him.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 03/08/2012 12:00

i'd reckon this story is rubbish, he doesn't strike me as a big enough star to hold up filming for two hours.

he's in a documentary in the next couple of weeks, all about drug treatment. it's pretty interesting, what i've seen on it, and he comes across rather brilliantly.

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 03/08/2012 12:01

To be fair I have seen him talk on that subject and he came across well.

pictish · 03/08/2012 12:02

God he is so unattractive. What a fucking bellend.

  1. Remember - this is The Sun.
  2. Details are pretty sketchy.
  3. It's The Sun.

Who knows? All I know is that he makes me gip.

pictish · 03/08/2012 12:06

The best thing I ever saw him on was some talk show where he was helping to promote some campaign to get kids reading books more.

He was very likeable then, and spoke with humour and intelligence. He really made me laugh and had the wee boy he was talking to in fits.

I think he's a clever guy and I do have some grudging affection for him...but to look at, no. He's horrible.
His apparent attitude to women appears to be pretty fucked up too. I get the heebie geebies if I consider him as totty. Ugh - he so isn't.

NarcolepsyQueen · 03/08/2012 12:07

Meh - all a publicity stunt no doubt. I'm not a massive fan - but I do love his use of language sometimes, and he is obviously a clever boy.

DinahMoHum · 03/08/2012 12:07

if thats true, then its really cunty and abusive. I hope its not because i like him, but that would put me off big time.

pictish · 03/08/2012 12:11

He can fuck off with his 'oh I'm reeeally so very very sorry, I'm such a naughty boy, I didn't mean it honest' routine as well.
The man is older than me.
Beware of becoming a parody of yourself Russell. Nothing worse.

I'm sure he loathes himself. I would if I were him.
