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.

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

Blimming Bear Grylls, ex Head Scout, baptised him fgs.

He's vile. Fled to America to make podcasts and earn from their dubious admiration of people like him. He married into the Gallagher family - Bernard a top golfer, Kirsty the TV presenter, married younger sister Laura - goodness knows what they think of him.

How long before Louis Theroux gives him a going over? I would like to see it.

Yes, anyone can say that on an anonymous forum. That's sort of the point.
Given that many survivors of rape and sexual abuse describe their experience of the so-called justice system as being as traumatic, if not more so, than the abuse itself it's hardly surprising that so many women choose to share their experiences on forums like this one rather than in real life.

Survivors of rape and sexual abuse get to decide for themselves whether they want to contact the Police. They are under no obligation to do so ans declining to do so does not mean their experience is any less "real" or "genuine".

Excuse me? Yes, anyone could, I'd be happy to send you my name and address, if that will satisfy your curiosity. Why didn't I report it to the Police? I don't live in the UK, it happened when I was drunk, young, and vulnerable. I was too traumatised to do so. Is that acceptable to you?

Thank you for saying this. My hands are shaking so hard I can barely type. I very much appreciate the support.

LlynTegid · 02/05/2025 18:04

I hope justice prevails. And if found guilty the maximum sentence.

JojoM1981 · 02/05/2025 11:05

This is why prisoners always "find god" 🤮

Find God find out the fact that they are a woman suddenly become a victim of a bad childhood my sisters ex told the court he did what he did because they split up this was news to her watching him from the gallery a school friend got his girlfriend pregnant and told the court he was changing and wanted to be around for his child being born "please don't put me away" plea the judge said why would you do that knowing you were facing a custodial sentence? Basically called him an idiot he suspended his sentence but of course he re-offended and they locked him up

JojoM1981 · 02/05/2025 10:43

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

I thought that too, he looked like he had just woken up from a days long bender. He is the pits.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 02/05/2025 18:09

Yes, similar comments around Conor mcgregor, it is chilling that people believe this crap when evidence is there of an assault crime and civil charges for rape, plus a line of accusers.
Then Donald Trump invites him to the white-house, crazy world.
He'll be at the top table with Donnie soon, no doubt.

EnhancedVampireEyeballs · 02/05/2025 18:09

And nobody gets to tell me I'm not a 'genuine victim'. I know the truth.

neverbeenskiing · 02/05/2025 18:10

He is very intelligent

He really, really isn't.

He is a pathetic waste of skin and those in the stand up comedy, television and film industries who willfully ignored, covered up and enabled his vile, predatory behaviour for profit should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

I hope they throw away the fucking key. But I have very little faith in the criminal justice system so I won't hold my breath.

BitOutOfPractice · 02/05/2025 18:11

I don’t think there’s a woman in the world who is surprised that this is who he is. You can see just by looking at him.

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 always found him sleazy, he was someone I didn't want to like but did. I loved listening to him. I'm not surprised about the revelations, but I wanted to be wrong.

TooBigForMyBoots · 02/05/2025 18:14

I have no doubt we'll see him sink even lower.🤮

HiddenInCubeOfCheese · 02/05/2025 18:15

His absolute disrespect for anyone and anything symbolised in his ridiculous outfit. What a twat.

THAT outfit to court on a criminal charge? Pillock.

Good job there's going to be an actual trial then.

Investigative journalism around wealthy, powerful, famous men abusing their status to sexually exploit women is absoultely necessary. History tells us these men use their money and influence to silence their victims and evade justice, and they are enabled by corporations (including the BBC, which we pay for) to do so. I'd love to live in a world where the Police and the Courts could be trusted to get justice for rape victims but that's not the world we live in so it's a good thing that a joint investigation by The Times and Channel 4's Dispatches has exposed this scumbag for who he is.

Yes, in the Thames 🤮 perhaps that explains the pollution in the water now it probably seeps out of him. He’s like the child catcher possessed by a pirate who reads out the contents of a Victorian thesaurus on a loop .

There is too much of the ‘lynch mob’ mentality now and he is innocent until proven guilty.
