Russel Brand going the way of Danny Masterson?

[AbrahamG]

Not interested in waiting for more info or facts? Just planting your flag on it's the liberals fault? That doesn't seem fair to the accusers, no?

[joswift]

At least Russell has stopped the small boats landing at Dover, not a mention on the news since his story broke.

If the accusers were so upset by this they would’ve have waited until an election year to come forward. Again, it’s no coincidence

[Coach is Back!]

what election are you talking about?

Pick one. It’s happens with appointments as well. It’s about shutting down conservatives.

Outspoken yes, intelligent no. He's a prime example of articulate being mistaken for intelligent.

I've never liked the guy, moreso now he a tin-foil hat wearing type,
I was not surprised by these sort of allegations, As Phantom Spunker says he was a wild one back in his youngest junkie days, and had a bit of an unconventional childhood. (If I recall correctly he lost his virginity in Thailand to a prostitute his dad treated him to).

As usual with these things though, it's unfair to him that this is splashed over the news when it's just allegations.

[Coach is Back!]

Mr Brand is from and works in the UK.
Chanel 4 and the Times / Sunday Times are UK companies
The accusers are in the UK
The alleged events took place in the UK
The Conservative party has been the government party for the past 13 years in the UK

He speaks out and is a big voice in this country about leftist politics much like Bill Maher. The left would like nothing more than to shut him down.

[Phantom Spunker]

The whole 'trial by media' thing scares the living fuck out of me. It is so easy to manipulate people on both sides. There is some compelling evidence in this case, and newspapers have stated that none of the women knew each other or were paid for their testimonies. Further, they stated that it took a long time to release the story because they were being fastidious about evidence gathering.

Okay, fine, but the UK press is now having a field day hunting for new people to come forward (with incentives being offered), and all sorts of irrelevant and misleading stories are being thrown out to the public (the funniest one being that he shagged the transsexual antiques dealer Lauren Harries). There must be a fair trial before this sort of thing can happen. I'd rather die than be a celebrity.

One of the alleged incidents happened at his LA home. I know it’s splitting hairs, just sayin.

Yes.

RIP him

This shit is getting crazy. Any ex girlfriend, co worker, or just any random chick can claim you raped her 20 years ago. At the least your reputation is ruined, at worst you go to prison for life. I'm really starting to hate this society.

This is the most worrisome part. Imagine some broad from 20+ years ago just pops up claiming you sexually assaulted her, what is her proof? Why does a man have to prove his innocence?

The conservatives are the liberals! Why don’t you understand what’s going on?

Brand was fine raping young girls as long as he was spewing his liberal nonsense, as soon as he said Trump was Gods choice as president Brands brand was ruined.

And why does most of society side with the woman on her stories? "A woman would never lie."

[Dalnet]

Did you read The Times article I linked? The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches are serious media outlets that are not likely to risk running a story like this if it can get them sued:

Over the past few years, reporters have interviewed hundreds of sources who knew or worked with Brand: ex-girlfriends and their friends and family, comedians and other celebrities, people who worked with him on radio and TV, and senior staff at the BBC, Channel 4 and other media organisations.

Along with these interviews reporters have seen private emails and text messages, submitted freedom of information requests, viewed medical and therapists’ notes, scrutinised Brand’s books and interviews, and watched and listened to hundreds of hours of his shows on the BBC, Channel 4 and YouTube to corroborate allegations.

We all know that plenty of women make up bullshit allegations for various reasons. And it may well be that the motivation for them to speak out now is, at least in part, financial. However, Brand literally admitted to raping one of the women and apologized to her via text message, which has been confirmed as coming from his own phone.

It's very easy for people to now claim that "The Establishment" is coming for them because they've heroically stuck their head above the parapet and spoke truth to power. In some cases this is obviously true (e.g. Assange), and in other cases, it is quite clearly nonsense. I don't watch enough of Brand to know if there's any potential for that to be the case here. Is it possible? Sure. States collect information on people to be used as coercion all the time. As do media platforms. It's more likely that the British media wants to avoid a repeat of the Savile scandal, so they are now throwing everyone under the bus when it looks as though a story might get leaked and they appear to have been culpable in enabling the culture in which it happened.

As mentioned, these allegations have been around for years and he's been quite successful in silencing them before through injunctions. He's clearly narcissistic, reasonably intelligent, and calculating. It was a smart move to try and get ahead of the allegations and control the narrative, but it really doesn't look as though he's the innocent victim of a baseless smear campaign.

Didn't notice the article in your second post tbh you bring up some valid points, though. Maybe they don't want Savile 2.0 then because of the backlash. Maybe it's a mix of the establishment timing now that he's not their dancing monkey to teach him a lesson along with his own actions. If that's the case he's done himself in.

Because that angle affords them the right to righteously bully.  We haven't evolved, we're just Salem with internet.  The worst are the historically bullied.  Anybody with half a shred of sense can see that the trans community have turned into some of the worst bullies around, the very thing they originally fought against. 

However..

I doubt there is anyone reading this thread who hasn't known a person who in the past, by today's standards would have been guilty of sexual assault and a decent amount of it.  I would go as far as to say that it might be one of the most common crimes being committed.  Particularly unpunished crime.  The threat is real for women and the better looking they are, the more it surrounds them and defines their entire life.  Of course, some women are also batshit crazy so there is very real threat of giving them this power but it's not really that much different from the fact that there is batshit men going around raping, groping and getting away with it.  It's all the same shit and the only thing we the sane can do is stay away from anybody who radiates crazy.

Masterson's wife just filed for divorce by the way.  Could be a benign reason of course but it's not exactly a vote of confidence is it.

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/sep/19/youtube-suspends-russell-brand-revenues-channel

YouTube has suspended Russell Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform after allegations of rape and sexual assault in a massive hit to his finances.
....
Brand had prepared for this eventuality by moving many of his videos across to the rival site Rumble, although its a relatively niche outlet that does not give Brand access to the 6.5 million subscribers he has built up during a decade on YouTube.

Lol so much for innocent until proven guilty. The whole trial be the leftist media is getting pathetic.

[joswift]

If they had gone to the police the police would have had to leave it as he said , she said.

There is zero evidence apart from the womens testimony

Now in going to the press Brand is now vilified in public.

They will now find it even harder to convict Brand of anything because his defence will argue any jury has now been tainted due to the court of public opinion.

Shit sticks unfortunatly

All the companies including YouTube stripping away his living based on accusations is simply criminal

[Megalodon]

Elon Musk is being targeted for honoring the US constitution and not bowing to the USA's #1 censorship group, which was founded after trying to frame several Black individuals for the rape and death of a young Irish girl when the rapist and murderer was Leo Frank, who happened to be a member of an anti-White and anti-Black hate group.

It could eventually get to the point where getting a few drinks in a chick is considered “Drugging.”
