Russell Brand accused of rape and sexual assault

Musk seems to have deleted a bunch of his tweets since the program went to air
 
I wonder how much hush money has been paid and how many NDAs signed?

I think for a lot of them it's because Brand said bad things about the vax, big pharma, the EU, and the 'establishment, so they know he’s innocent and being persecuted to 'cancel' him.

It was SO obvious they were going to go after Russell Brand, after he spoke out on YouTube about Big Pharma, the vaccine, mainstream media’s lies, the government’s corruption, and all those sexual assaults he did.

Took bad that something like this isn't a reportable crime:

FULL CLAIM: COVID-19 vaccines are responsible for the rise in heart attacks in young people; “They got through the whole report without mentioning lockdowns or vaccines, which it would seem ought to be part of any reasonable debate and exploration into what has caused this 30 percent spike in heart disease”

On 27 February 2023, comedian Russell Brand published a YouTube video about a new study reporting a rise in heart attacks in young people. In the video, Brand took aim at a CBS News interview discussing the study. In the fashion of “just asking questions”, he asked why COVID-19 would be considered as the explanation for the rise in heart attacks, while factors such as vaccines and lockdowns were being overlooked, and suggested that the truth was being hidden. The video has received more than a million views to date.
Scientific evidence shows that COVID-19 vaccines don’t increase the risk of heart attacks, contrary to Russell Brand video (HealthFeedback)

Even more so when actual doctors instead of 'comedians' spread antivaxxer lies.
Doctors who repeatedly and blatantly contradict themselves, convincing parents that rare vaccine side effects are a fate worse than death, don’t deserve our trust.

Is this guy like a British Kardashian? I've heard the name and recognize the face but can't place him actually doing anything?

Was in a few Hollywood movies, had a celeb marriage/girlfiend or two, the last few years he's turned being a contrarian into being an almost cult leader and made it a profitable business.

Don't forget the sex and heroin addictions.

He was married to Katy Perry and dumped her by text as she was about to go on stage. He was in several films when he lived in America - Get Him to the Greek, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Trolls, Despicable Me. Now he's an anti-establishment youtube wellness guru (whatever that means) and does standup comedy.

Not even remotely a surprise.

I know it's a second hand story but I'm always reminded of the story my brother's ex-wife told us. She used to work at a major theatre here in the UK that Russel Brand performed at. Gig went off reasonably well, but at the end of the gig, Brand requested that the staff have all the women who wanted to meet him after the show line up against the wall. He came out of his dressing room and picked, and I'm quoting said ex here verbatim "the 4 youngest looking ones" and took them into his dressing room to "party".

There were used condoms in there afterwards.

The TIMES article, which is behind a paywall can be read here in the archives:

From the article, similar accusations:

During the early years of Brand’s TV career as a Channel 4 presenter, there were repeated incidents which raise questions about his interactions with young women while working for them.
TV researchers and runners who worked on Channel 4 shows during this period allege that Brand would get staff to approach young female audience members so he could meet them after filming.
Two former crew members, working on Big Brother’s EFourum, a live spin-off debate show presented by Brand that would become Big Brother’s Big Mouth, separately claim this made them feel like they were working as a “pimp” for Brand.

Creeps like Brand appears to be seem to think that if they've had consenting sex with a person once, that means they can subsequently do anything they like with them.

One instance of consent is not a "get out of jail free" card.

He's in with a group that is not quite conservative nor liberal. Brand, RFK Jr., Mike Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, Joe Rogan.

Endless podcasts, but most of them don't seem to have the attention span to write anything down and I'm much more of a reader than a listener so I mostly don't follow them. I have heard of the group referred to as the "Contrarian Caucus".

Yes, they tend to be IDW-types, Covid contrarians, not-Trump-fans-but-give-maximum-benefit-of-the-doubt-to-him who have gone so far to the left that they have ended up on the right, Red Pillers, etc...

It's not just those who Brand is essentially affiliated with, but also Tucker Carlson, Jimmy Dore, Jordan Peterson, etc...
 
I've heard Brand referred to as "Andrew Tate with hair".

The Intellectual Dark Web.

It was basically assembled by Eric Weinstein, his brother, Brett, his sister-in-law, Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Michael Shermer and a few others, who had a big New York Times article written up about them by Bari Weiss complete with photo-shoot to announce that they were too edgy for the mainstream media. Unfortunately, claims to being "intellectual" were massively undermined at the start by including Dave Rubin in the group. :p

I had to look up Dave Rubin too (he seems nice /s ) :p and learned that the *lovely* Ben Shapiro is one of the IDW too.

Brand keeps good company, I see.
