Sounds like it was an open secret in the productions he worked on that he was a sex pest. It makes me wonder how he managed to escape so long before allegations were made public. I watched the Dispatches documentary and the complaints all seemed credible and doubtless there are receipts if Brand is foolish enough to sue. Even footage of his own on-air demeanour around the same time was awful and worse in hindsight.
Whatever the truth to the allegations there is no doubt that Brand is a narcissist with an addictive personality and he uses people to get what he wants. He’s been addicted to sex, alcohol, porn, and heroin. Conspiracy theories are his new fix. Don’t be surprised if he finds Jesus next. Gotta chase that high.
I genuinely did!! Or at least that he’d been credibly accused and everyone already knew that. I’ve been very confused by some people’s reactions to this news.
I’ve had a couple conversations in which I expressed how surprised I was that he had been uncancelled from previous sexual assaults, just to do it all again.
Sex pests & misogynists. Many with their own legal run-ins. e.g. Andrew Tate is a rapist and sex trafficker and Elon Musk attempting to impregnate anyone including flight attendants.
Conspiracy idiots who will believe their guru over reality. It must be some global conspiracy to silence him rather than the more obvious reason that he raped at least one woman and had inappropriate contact with others.
Man, I’ve made 4 sexual predator predictions of which now 1 (kevin spacey) is convicted, 1 is suspected (brand) 2 to go (jared leto and quentin tarantino, you old perv).
Well, he’s a freaky little man, that’s clear. We’re predicting criminality. Proof, or at least clear accusations.
And yeah, you kind of assume he’s already been to court over something, and you just missed it somehow. He’s the kind of white guy who looks for excuses to holler the N-word in his movies while Sam Jackson puts up with it, there’s no way he’s not putting roofies in drinks.
I respectfully disagree. He isn’t even hiding the fact that he has a foot fetish and uses his power dynamic to coerce actresses to do whatever he wants to them. His actions paint a portrait of someone I would suspect of being a predator.
I recognized Andrew Tate and (obviously) Russell Brand in there. Were any of the others real people? I’m bettng there were probably at least a couple others I’m just too out of the loop to recognize.
He has a good turn of phrase and is a good speaker. His views are often more teen edgy than practical, or, they were. Think 80s anarchism and pink in the UK but in the 00s and with an Oliver twist sensibility.
Last number of years, he’s gone from hard left to hard right and crazy conspiracies.
He was always attention seeking and made it look like it was a statement rather than obnoxious. He moved into obnoxious as a brand.
He has always been relatively open a out addiction to hard drugs and sex acts. Previously he insisted they were consensual. Howeythere has always been an underlying current that they were not always. He seemed contrite in his sober state but it was always dubious.
He is an edge lord, yeah. Although he sometimes he tries to appear like there is some greater message behind all of that. Like he is a jester with wit, but he is just a clown.
nah he went full on right-wing conspiratard, his videos are enraging, covid consparices, blaming the west for Russia invading Ukraine
he is a fucking cunt, I am not gonna search for his videos and post them here, because last time I watched some of his shit I felt like curb stomping that fucking wanker.
Yeah, if you lost track of him after Get Him To The Greek when he was still sorta vaguely leftist but in an annoying rock star party boy way, well, I guess that act stopped getting him enough attention, because he went right wing shitlord at some point.
I think that grift is easier to run on a narrower audience.
As someone who thought he was a cunt since he popped up on our screens in the UK, and then a cunt with a child’s understanding of politics doing more harm than good in 2015 when he stuck his oar into the election, it feels good to finally be validated these last few years.
I remember seeing videos of him “flirting with” women interviewing him and he was being a straight-up creep, and would not take the hint when rejected.
Then I saw some conspiratorial shit from him recently, no clue what it was, I just remember thinking “well he went off the deep end”.
