Yo say Russell Brand can’t stoop much lower.

He has appeared in court this morning so I’m guessing he is in panic mode.
He seems to trying to use distraction tactics to avoid the reality of his past..
What about grooming gangs?
What about Southport?
I mean how low can you get to compare the Southport tragedy to what is happening in your life, both things have nothing to with him!
And if anyone is bored enough to try and explain his supporters to me feel free.. Lots of comments like, The government are trying to set him up because he has unlocked the matrix and got them all worried.
Are people really suggesting that he had kier Starmer so worried that the government have found four women willing to lie to the police about rape?
it’s completely insane.

If he’s shown anything in the past it’s that he can always go lower

Mumlaplomb · 02/05/2025 10:42

The floodgates have opened for him and I suspect this is the tip of the iceberg judging by all the comments female comedians have been making (without naming him)

JojoM1981 · 02/05/2025 10:43

Turned up with his shirt open. No respect for the courts. A complete narc 🤮

MrsSkylerWhite · 02/05/2025 10:45

In reply to your statement, I suspect he probably can and will.

SmoothRoads · 02/05/2025 10:54

I am not expecting much from this trial. There is too much "real victims" rhetoric going around online at the moment.

CherryBlossom321 · 02/05/2025 11:00

He’s foul. And can definitely go lower.

CompletelyFlopped · 02/05/2025 11:01

I just think it's all really sad because there was a time I really really liked Russel brand! I thought he was quite hot and v intelligent, but also v funny which is a rare combo! (Quite a few celebs and others have two of those three things, but all three??)

So im gutted my pin up is a dick!! So sad!

I noticed that too. Revolting. He has a Messiah complex.

TaraRhu · 02/05/2025 11:05

He is in deep. He's trying it all - did you see he got baptised recently? What a load of rubbish. Clear his guilty conscience and clean his character

This is why prisoners always "find god" 🤮

I can’t believe he went to court with an open shirt, his defence lawyer is going to have a job on there hands with him. Arrogant twat!

I’d like him to explain what the matrix is. Surely that would be the easiest way of exonerating himself? As for the government having to find women he’s sexually assaulted, well it wouldn’t take them long. I’ve been at a party he attended, he was an absolute letch.

What do you mean, what makes someone a “real victim”
I really hope that he gets found guilty, but I’ve (as a victim) been part of a rape trial, It’s horrific how they can twist the narrative in a court room.

Show quote history

I mean that whenever there is a accusation of rape or sexual assault, it's usually followed by, "he would never do that" or "she must be lying, because x". This is then concluded by "this just makes things harder for real victims".

You could put this on a bingo card and it would be a hit a 100% of the time. Or if you played a drinking game with these "rebuttals", you end up in the hospital from alcohol poisoning.

That is why I am skeptical that these victims will see any justice.

ETA: Or you could just look at the post above this one.

BuntyBeaufort · 02/05/2025 16:09

Thank goodness for the SC ruling, or he’d be claiming to be a woman and therefore incapable of rape.

That generated one of the most ridiculous headlines I've ever seen:

Russell Brand being baptised in the River Thames by Bear Grylls

He was always one of those predators who hide in plain sight like Jimmy Saville.

Because I believe the victims.

Wahsingday · 02/05/2025 16:19

Whilst ordinarily you’d be right. This man’s ability to exhibit the absolute dregs of human behaviour is remarkable. He’s a total scumbag and I wouldn’t put much past him.

BuntyBeaufort · 02/05/2025 16:20

Locutus, it’s very sweet of you to assume I’m the messiah, but I’m really not.

EnhancedVampireEyeballs · 02/05/2025 16:24

I am not going into detail, but I can, from personal experience, absolutely confirm that he is a rapist. I hope he gets sent to prison. I hope he goes to fucking hell. I hope he gets even a drop of what he deserves.

Seeing his odious face on the news has genuinely made me vomit.

I thought the same, except for finding him attractive. He is very intelligent, and quick witted with it.

2fallsagain · 02/05/2025 16:27

I think it's been called if you are in the same town as me (I'm sure you are as this can't have happened in two places!!) He came second with 25% of the vote. Libdem hold

2fallsagain · 02/05/2025 16:27

Sorry wrong thread!
