Shappi Khorsandi says Brand raped her friend

[SidmouthSummer]

This interview of Shappi Khorsandi discussing Brand is interesting to watch.
She describes his unpleasant character in the first few minutes.
At 9 mins in she says Brand doesn't understand consent.
At 9:43 she says he raped her friend.

Best she tells the police then, and not the media.

Really!
Ready steady bake?

@MrsRobinsonsHandprints Goldsmith probably only has control of her part of the injunction.

Scary stuff. Psychologically oppressive. It makes me think of Karen Mulder who wanted to whistle blow attacks and entered a MH facility. I’m not surprised if powerful people squash you instead.

"When a person is not represented by a lawyer, a judge is supposed to make allowances. The rules say so. The overriding objective requires the court to ensure that “the parties are on an equal footing”, and from 1 October 2015, four weeks before this hearing, the court has had an express duty in any case with an unrepresented party to “adopt such procedure at any hearing as it considers appropriate to further the overriding objective”.8 Lady Justice Falk, who read the available transcript this year, thought “some of Jay J’s comments could have been put in more muted terms”, but that Ms Berki “was properly heard, and had a full opportunity to put the points she wished to make”. Being heard on whether you harassed someone is one thing. Settling the terms of a lifelong injunction is another – and there’s no evidence Ms Berki’s interests were protected when those terms were settled. We think the judge should have scrutinised the form of the order (which was likely drafted by Mr Brand’s lawyers). It seems he did not.9

Mr Justice Jay does not have a good record of dealing with litigants-in-person. Two years later, in a different case, he behaved so poorly that the Court of Appeal and then the Supreme Court found that he’d bullied a litigant-in-person. The Supreme Court found that he had aimed a “barrage of hostility” at the litigant-in-person, and “harassed and intimidated him in ways which surely would never have occurred if the claimant had been represented”."

Thanks for sharing this @SidmouthSummer I have just finished watching. It is chilling and I hope the men she refers to are having sleepless nights. The attacks she describes are shocking . Also the part where she described being called a cock blocker for making sure another woman was not assaulted is just appalling. Absolute scumbags.

It is up to the friend whether or not to report it to the police. Indeed, she may have already done so.

Thank you @pettingzoosforeveryone thats useful to know

I wonder? He and Brand were great mates for a while, there were always pics of them out on the pull in the papers years back. I'm sure it will come out if true.

Who is NF?
