Dispatches . Russel brand .

[fabmaccawhackythumbsaloft]

I actually like Russel brand . And I don't think he's ever hidden what he used to be in his heyday. He's always been very open about his drug use, and promiscuity.

I read his first book . I watch his videos on fb , and while I don't always agree with him, he seems to have totally overhauled his lifestyle, attitudes, is into yoga, self care, seems to be a decent husband and father .

Is this newsworthy ? Young famous comedian in heyday slept with lots and lots of women , consensually he says ?

Hes never hidden it.

On drug misuse I alWays had time for his views that it should be dealt with as a medical issue not a criminal one

What's the news story ?
I always feel like there is much glee and salivating before the media try and knock someone down.
I don't think this is a huw edwards where people would be shocked at him trying to pick up young women behind his wife's back

It seems that brand has settled down , lives a fairly mundane lifestyle and is happy with his choices .

Or am I completely missing something?

A 31 year old going after a 16 year old 😭

This is about rape

Not a naughty boy enjoying his "hey day"

If my dd at 16 had said she was going to the house of a 31 year old no matter who he was I'm afraid it would have been over my dead body

Maybe he shouldn't have invited a 16 year old in the first place.

Or is that expecting too much?

That's not how it comes over

Wonder what KP has to say about this, also his poor wife. It’s all rather sordid.

I agree but given he did , and I guess that would be very difficult to resist given his status

when someone tells you who they are believe them ... yet somehow we continuously don't!

Bob Geldof had a point

I mean, so far it's horrible and sordid and seedy but nothing I wouldn't expect tbh. Treating women with blatant disrespect isn't a crime (sadly) - and RB has admitted just how hideous he was in the past.

Where is the actual evidence? This needs to be investigated by the police and he needs to be arrested, charged and dealt with if he is guilty.

I think I dislike this whole 'trial by media' thing. It's just pure entertainment now isn't it?

God his standup routines are based on truth . Blow jobs making the recipient fag and their mascara run , spitting making any sex act better.....

Sick . The 16 year olds testimony is about this , he wasn't hiding what he was . He was making jokes about it .
Fucking hell.

When he called him a cunt he clearly knew something

yes would love to know what geldof knew / had heard!

You mean like the accounts of multiple women, the testimony of colleagues, his staff and management, the text messages etx?

When he first started out he was extremely good looking.

Before the dandy shit.

Yea it's seedy but half hour in and there isn't yet any evidence of the allegations. Nothing has been said that most people didn't already know,

Blacked out actors and their voiceovers isn't 'evidence'. Snapshots of texts 'verified' by journalists isn't evidence.

This isn't proof of anything

And if they say the truth?

@MoxieFox

Funny you mention Jimmy Saville who was convicted and sent to prison and then say it’s legal to rape.

Except this didn't happen. He wasn't convicted or sent to prison. He wasn't ever even charged...

Despite being widely known to be a prolific sex offender with crimes spanning decades.

Why have you confidently asserted that he was convicted and sent to prison when it's so evidently untrue?

I always thought he was revolting. This documentary is making me feel sick.

RB dated Peaches when she was 16 I think. Not sure how old she was when BG made that comment though.
