Wimmin he didn't want will call him every word under the sun but secretly they wish they were the type he wanted. Same with other guys like him.

Guys think he is a weirdo who has cash, fame and popularity to nail any girl he meets and sure, boundaries might have been crossed.

However, whilst I think he's likely guilty of most of what he is accused of, I bet 95% of wimmin who want him would go off with him even if they were told by their best friend that he just raped them yesterday.

It's denial, followed by "how much can I make from this" when reality sets in.

Okay, who left the cover off the entrance to the sewer, a rather large ugly looking rat escaped

I can 1 million per cent tell you that this man has nauseated me completely ever since I first became aware of his existence, and I would absolutely HATE to be the type of woman he attracted! (mind you I think you would only have to have female parts!!!)

I wouldn't touch him with yours!

Bet you’re a total catch for the wimmin, huh? 🤣🤣 Unfortunately, we’re women here, so you’re in the wrong place again.

Brand has known this day was coming since he was binned by Roast Battle and Katherine Ryan was kept.😊 Seems a bit convenient he disappeared from telly and focused on establishing himself as "enlightened" guru on the internet after this.

He's been grooming his followers.

Er, that's not quite what happened. But OK.

He didn’t claim all ‘actions’ were consensual.

He said all of his ‘relationships’ were consensual. That’s two very different things.

Anyone can have a consensual relationship. That doesn’t mean the actions within it were consensual.

Oh God, this is all getting a bit 'strawman' isn't it?

After reading all the messages of support for an alleged rapist, is it any wonder that people don't come forward? As well as having your life turned inside out so that you can hopefully get some kind of justice in court, many people just won't believe a word you're saying even when there's evidence to show abuse has taken place.

But what about the accused having their life 'turned inside out' on the basis of allegations? That's what people have a problem with.

I’m not saying you don’t have a side effect from the vaccine, I’m saying that they are extremely rare. This is backed up by the reported data on side effects - around 3 per 1000, the vast majority of which are mild - things like vaccine site inflammation.

The nurse may well have been similarly suspicious about the roll out speed - being a nurse doesn't mean she has any understanding of drug development.

It’s been discussed to death and I’ve got nothing more to add to the detailed explanations of why the speed of rollout was not in any way suspicious.

I’m sorry that you think I’m not ‘being kind’ but if you didn’t want me to respond, maybe don’t tag me in your post.

Anyone who still believes this at this point is beyond help.

I suppose you think the insane amount of young people who've 'died suddenly' this past year or more - with ZERO investigation as to why this is happening - is down to 'climate change' 🙄

I'm guessing you've made it three plus years into the pandemic without being aware that one side-effect of Covid is that in some it causes bloodclots, strokes, heart problems, neurological changes, and organ damage, and these tendencies have been shown last a year or more after infection?

Very, very few when compared to the number of men who rape.

But you know that.

So what? Both things can be true at the same time.

No one cares about RB’s conspiracy nonsense. He’s an irrelevance.

Don’t you see the logical fail in your post? He was using peer reviews science papers (ie already in the public domain) to substantiate things? So he was repeating what scientists had already said? Why the fuck would that make him a target? The info is already out there.

He’s not exactly deep throat, is he?

Although that would be the perfect code name if he was a whistleblower and not a skanky addict rapist. Allegedly

I wish it was a logical fail. Yes, this information is in the public domain... for those of us who know where to look. However, as a lot of this data is rather unpalatable, these experts/organisations are hoping we won't. And they certainly would rather someone like RB wasn't bringing it to the attention of millions on social media! That's why he's become a target.

Its5656 · 24/09/2023 17:11

I personally don't get it. He talks utter bollocks and I actually find him offensive.

It's funny how all of his supporters want proof from the women who have come forward yet require zero proof of the crap he's spouting on YouTube. Very Strange.

We don't need proof of the 'crap he's spouting on YouTube'.

Each of his videos is usually based on a study or report of some kind, so the whole point of his content is to share these findings with the masses who otherwise might not see it. So, more a presentation of actual facts really. Facts that many people don't want to hear, so it's just easier to dismiss them as 'crap' and/or 'conspiracy theories'.

You really think all six million people are full of shit? That maybe, just maybe, there are people who are curious or want to learn more or widen their perspectives by listening to something they may not agree with to see what it’s about? Instead you want to dismiss them as quacks. Yet at the same time you expect everyone to instantly believe the random accounts of four anonymous people.

Fascinating.

THIS!! 👏👏

I’m not going to waste my valuable time watching his rants, but why on earth would he become a target if he’s simply regurgitating existing science? Also, just how much science training does he have? I don’t think injecting skag counts as medical training.

Ahhh, no, of course you're not 'going to waste your time' looking. I didn't see that one coming. At. All. 🙄

So, I'm curious, how do you know it's all conspiracy theories if you've never watched any of it?

He's a target because he's 'regurgitating' the parts of these studies/findings/data that these individuals/corporations would rather the masses didn't know about.

As for your last comment, nice to know you have empathy with those who've had addiction issues. But I guess once a wrong'un always a wrong'un, eh?

Not at all, I know all about that. But that's not what's happening here and I think you know it. Lots of physically fit, young males. Basically, the healthiest people to walk among us. Just 'dying suddenly' in their sleep.
Yup, nothing to see here... 🙄

He doesn't have great critical thinking skills. I'd respect him more if he had finished his degree at SOAS or if he interviewed Ben Goldacre.

He appears to have traits similar to certain personality disorders.

Yep. Narcissist.
Allegedly a rapey one.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 B List Russell Brand spouts some messiah style conspiracy theory bollocks on YouTube and the government / big pharma / MSM / insert crazy term here create a time machine to go back and ask some journalists to do a long term multi year sexual assault investigation at the same time as planting evidence of women’s visits to rape centres. Then they travel forward and recruit Katherine Ryan. They also go back far enough again to add some really dodgy passages into Russell’s own book. They infiltrate online forums over multiple years to plant stories about his behaviour to really seal the deal.

They should have just stealthily injected him with the Covid vaccination and saved all that money. He’d definitely be dead by now, right?!

Firethehorse · 25/09/2023 04:57

I am surprised at the amount of people feeling sorry for his poor wife.
Personally I feel so very sorry for every person and animal he has intimidated, belittled and/or threatened with litigation to silence. That’s before the assault and rape accusations are even addressed.
His wife has enjoyed a life of wealth and privilege, I find it impossible to believe she never read his books, never heard a whisper of who he really was. I could not consider getting together with a self confessed pet abuser no matter how wealthy he was and that’s just the tip of a very big iceberg. The children, yes I feel very sorry for them.

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/09/2023 05:52

Bingbangbongbash · 24/09/2023 18:17

I’m sorry you have health issues, but if it is connected to the vaccine, it will be one of the very rare serious side effects. It could also be a coincidence.

And you might be suspicious of the speed, but that’s because you fundamentally don’t understand the science behind the vaccine or tge way science research is done.

Most of the time taken to bring a new drug to the market is raising money and finding participants for studies. Neither was an issue during Covid.

The basis of the vaccine was also well tested prior to the pandemic and so they weren’t starting from scratch.

Be suspicious but don’t mistake that for truth.

I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. However, I also continue to have ongoing horrible issues post covid jab. I am one of those people highly sensitive to prescription drugs. Drugs, which have completely ruined my health and made me disabled and often quasi bedridden. I have had no real life for 12 years now. I see a toxicologist monthly and she continues to slowly detox my body.

The jab set me back many years. I should never have had it but the side effects of the first jab only took 3 months to leave my body so I thought I’d be ok. Much as it may have save people, it has also killed people. I know someone, whose family member died and told me the docs admitted the vaccine was the cause but that it would be impossible to sue.

The side effects I still experience are definitely directly linked to the vaccination. Please do not write off what people are saying. It highly negates their experiences and is just the same as anyone disbelieving any other experience, including rape.

Just because most prescription drugs are ok for the majority of the population, it doesn’t mean the sensitive few are ok. That’s not the same as believing in conspiracies.

You are beyond rational thought if this is your conclusion. Mind you, you have shown yourself to be beyond rational thought re RB all through this thread.

You could say the same of the girlfriends he assaulted. What about the runner he flashed at and propositioned, who later dated him?

Just more victim blaming.

My view is that the comments from people supporting him on Instagram are clearly written by those who are either a) vulnerable b)uneducated or c) people who believe in conspiracy theories.

He is just a gaslighting rapist.
