Russell Brand 🤢🤮

[Netcurtainnelly]

🤢 🤢 Russell Brand. I never liked him anyway, Now he's on trail. Denies all charges of course.

You are something else.

He really is.

Not at all just think it all adds up to a possible stitch up.
None of the so called rapes were reported at the time and he’s been hated by the bbc and media for a while for his comments and persona. These women have come forward when they’ve sniffed a payout it seems.

Yeah he could be a rapist or he could ‘just’ be a sexual deviant/fetishist

Can you on balance see why victims of serious sexual assault may be much more likely to come forward once there have been other public allegations, as they will feel they will be taken more seriously if others have experienced and spoken out about the same things they experienced?

Absolutely.
Can you admit it seems a bit strange that not one of them reported him at the time?

I genuinely don’t think it’s strange no, partly because so many sexual assaults and rapes go unreported and partly because I think it’s even more likely people would choose not to report when their attacker is in a position of power due to being rich and famous which he was when almost all of the attacks occurred.

He himself admitted to having a sexual relationship with a 16 year old when he was in his 30s and described the relationship himself as ‘exploitative’.

Even he understands the very same power dynamic that would put women off reporting.

Given that men commit most violent crimes against women and other men, most women have been victims of some kind of sexual intimidation from disgusting comments to rape, plus the interrogations women have to go trough to even have their case considered, I don’t believe many women make false accusations. I do believe that a high number of men sexually assault women as research has shown.

Absoluelt. And statistics even show that men are actually more likely to be victims of rape by another man than they are to be falsely accused of rape by a woman.

I’m a confident person who can hold their own that doesn’t get pushed around and I counted that I’ve been sexually assaulted at least 6 times by men during my lifetime - two of those times at my place of work…

begs belief..

This case is in court right now. You are being irresponsible to discuss it.

Are you for real?!?!?!
You think inviting someone in to wait for a taxi is SO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from someone chatting to a guy (who they thought was gay) about a project they could do, so invited him up to her room to discuss further?!?!?

A woman can do WHATEVER THE HELL SHE LIKES. If a guy isn't intent on raping her, she won't be raped.

Please, please tell me how I can get millions from someone by crying rape, without going through utter hell to even begin trying to prove it, while being slaughtered in the dock?
I can't think of more than one individual who earned millions from doing something similar - and she k**led herself anyway.

There is a whole thing about Katy Perry too. I have watched videos of her making astonishingly creepy comments to younger men, kissing them and more.

She made headlines for insisting on kissing on a man who had never kissed before on American Idol, there is video of her groping Justin Beiber when he was 18, there's the whole Ruby Rose fiasco, she is currently being investigated by Australian police for a claim of sexual assault.

Based only on what I have personally watched of her being incredibly creepy to underage/young men, she is definitely not right.

Sorry for slowness, I'm in Australia. Having read this, may he rot in hell.

My apologies- this article is already up thread.

The trouble with that is it assumes the guilt of the accusers.

You again! Are you really this thick? What women have you heard of who have become rich and benefited in other ways by accusing coming rape? Do you know that there has to be credible evidence for a case to get to court? Most reports don’t get to court and most rapes and sexual assaults don’t get reported. How would it benefit anyone to falsely accuse someone of rape ? It is extremely rare and when it does happen it is extremely unlikely to get to court, but you think all these women that accuse celebrities of rape are lying ? I’m afraid that just means you dislike women and are lacking in the brain cell department.

lol

When pp were discussing radio one and Chris Evans, what you're actually remembering is Chris Moyles counting down to Charlotte Church's 16th birthday and all that disgustingness.

Not excusing Chris Evans, but Billie was 17 and soon turned 18. He was 34.

Just as you proved your clear bias. He was found not guilty of "criminality". His defence was that he was a sleazebag and a sex pest but his actions were within the law. That is your bar. Sad.

It's really bizarre to assume a woman would only allow a man into her hotel room in order to have sex. This is effectively the same as saying all men are rapists - women should keep men out of their rooms unless they want the men to get their dicks out!

I'm pretty sure the people who criticise women for inviting men to their rooms are the same ones who'd be outraged at any suggestion that you can't trust a man not to rape you. So which is it? You can't trust men, or you generally can?

Personally at this stage I think maybe unfortunately RB is going to be found not guilty. The evidence presented so far like the majority of rape trials will have no independent witnesses to the events and with the bar being beyond reasonable doubt the defence will be able to show consent cannot be definitely ruled out as a possibility with 2 separate accounts of sexual encounters (hence the small rape conviction rate). RB is odious and behaved in a morally terrible manner with women no doubt but I wonder whether the prosecution can overcome the hurdle that women may have voluntarily been in situations where they were alone with brand and in scenarios where the defence may be able to show seeds that there was an expectation of a sexual encounter and there was no withdrawal of consent.

It's an awful thing to say but how does the prosecution price consent was not given at points during then two rape scenarios?
