Russell Brand expecting accusations soon.

What if contacted these young women and convinced them ( or paid them ) to accuse him? He thrives on controversy. Clicks and ratings mean everything to this type of "reporting" he does.
 

What's happened to: "Innocent Until Proven Guilty"?

Just watched on BBC television news that YouTube has demonitised Russell Brands channel and BBC website has removed links to Russell's podcast and others.

Why don't we wait for the truth to come out and then punish?

I hate these situations where someone gets blamed and before they can prove otherwise, their careers are ruined.

Might I refer to what happened to dear Johnny Depp!

Story time….the Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde and read by Russell Brand….


The moral of the story is “Life is better with generosity and kindness and not selfishness and hate.
Being selfish is lonely and prevents you from experiencing all the goodness available in life.
When someone is generous and opens their heart, their life becomes full of good things.

YouTube cuts off Russell Brand's ad revenues after sexual assault allegations​

LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - YouTube said on Tuesday it had blocked Russell Brand from making money from his online channel after the British actor and comedian was accused of a string of sexual assaults.

Brand, once one of Britain's most high-profile comedians and broadcasters, said on Saturday he had never had non-consensual sex.

That came as the Sunday Times newspaper and Channel 4 TV's documentary show "Dispatches" reported that four women had accused the 48-year-old of sexual assaults, including a rape, between 2006 and 2013.


The allegations about Brand have sent shockwaves through the British media and dominated coverage since they emerged on Saturday.

The BBC said on Tuesday it had removed some shows featuring Brand from its iPlayer and Sounds platforms after deciding that some past television and radio content "now falls below public expectations".

Caroline Dinenage, chair of parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Committee, said she had written to the BBC plus broadcasters Channel 4 and GBNews, as well as tech firm TikTok regarding the allegations.


London police said on Monday they had received an allegation of sexual assault dating from 2003.

Brand, the former husband of U.S. singer Katy Perry, has repositioned himself in recent years to build a more than 6 million-strong following to his YouTube channel.

Recent videos included an interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and discussions on everything from COVID to UFOs, censorship and wellbeing.


YouTube, owned by Google parent Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O), said it had suspended monetisation on Brand's channel after he violated its creator responsibility policy.

"If a creator's off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community," a YouTube spokesperson said.

TikTok was asked by parliamentary committee chair Dinenage whether Brand was still able to monetise his Tiktok posts. She also asked for time-scale and progress reports from the BBC and Channel 4 about their investigations into Brand.


Brand issued a video message on social media on Saturday to deny the "very serious criminal allegations" hours before they were published.

"These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies. And as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous," Brand said.

"Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual," added the comedian, known for his flamboyant style and appearance.

Live shows planned by Brand have also been cancelled since the allegations were splashed across the media.

I think that demonizing and demonetizing Brand is outrageous. He hasn't been found guilty of anything. These heavy weight media industries don't want him bad mouthing and questioning them. He exposes how power/big money is taking over our society. THAT is why this has happened so quickly.

It is wrong to punish any person, especially financially, for allegations made against him, even from years ago. Nothing yet proven in a court of law.
YouTube has now acted I believe unjustly.

My position is I don't like Russell Brand, but that's just my view, justice is still justice. Being disliked doesn't make a man a criminal.
None of us knows if he did anything against the law. These women may or may not be telling the truth. Only time will tell but meanwhile, how can it be right to destroy the man? It's happening regularly now, this trial by media and hearsay and surely we know it's wrong? Nobody even waits for the police to do their proper investigations.

Good points Rose. The media did the same thing to Philip Schofiled. Ended his career and he'd broken no laws.

No the media didn't do it to Schofield he did it to himself by lying through his teeth to his Bosses... about having S.ex with a young male runner on the show....then lying to his wife and family, and his co-host about the fact he'd been having a Homosexual relationship..

The media wouldn't be able to do anything to anyone if they didn't create the problem for themselves..

Brand has been dropped from:

Trevi … women’s charity

Youtube

BBC

His book publisher

His agency

The hypocrisy is stunning. They all were aware of his interactions with women. They said and did nothing while the money was rolling in. Shameful.

Wonder who’s next on the chopping block?

This whole thing is being magnified by bitter women. These are the characteristics of a bitter woman:.
They are resentful of the people around them
.They hold terrible grudges
They find something negative in even the most simple pleasures.
They resent the past and wish their lives had played out differently.
Bitter women are often resentful of men.
They wallow in self-pity.
They love to see others suffer as they have suffered.

I suspect Russel played it loose when he was in his "God mode" years ago. We have seen many high profile public figures hit by allegations of wrong doing. Nothing new at all. I feel like most of them have some pretty nasty skeletons in their closets. they will continue to be under scrutiny in our age of media attention to sensationalism. Many of the accusers also get their 15 minutes of fame. I am not saying that the allegations brought against Brand should be dismissed and justice should be carried out. But, to demonize and demonetize him is not justice. These companies have ruined his livelihood. Maybe he can sue them. I doubt that would work though. They have tons more power/money than he does. So we are witnessing another "witch" burning.

Russell is not being demonised any more than is his just desserts. He's a nasty human being even without these accusations...

If truth be known he was no sweetheart.... but people change.
Since he got married he has been a different person.
But it's the age old story, give a dog a bad name and he will live with it forevermore.

Very soon in the UK there won't be a man alive who will not be scalped by vindictive and bitter women.

Men beware!!!

Brand still has a presence on Rumble, a video site popular with some conservatives and far-right groups, where his channel has 1.4 million followers. He also has 11.2 million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, and 3.8 million on Instagram. there is something about his message that is very important to many people. One may not like him personally ( I can't take watching him for long ), but this action by big media shows who is in control of the public dialogue. They have censored his message not his errant behavior years ago.

yes and some say he carefully accrued those followers, from 2017 when he knew this all was likely to be revealed...

he's an extremely clever man.. worth multi millions due mostly in part to his followers.. and can afford expensive lawyers, and that's doubtless what he will do in his attempt to claw his way back..
 
Just read about the woman at the radio station who says Brand exposed himself to her in a bathroom.
She was surprised nothing was ever done. Well, she never made any complaint.

Actually one of the women DID make a complaint to the police at the time, and the police didn't carry out any investigation, which is how the police tend to treat every woman who makes a complaint of s..exual nature.. only less than 5 % of complaints ever reach court, which is why so few women DO complain..

I agree. What scares me here is how quickly this man was destroyed based on allegations? I don't love Russell Brand and I don't hate him but this makes me afraid for the rest of us. There are no charges that I have heard of. He should be innocent until proven guilty. Shouldn't we all be? That's democracy. What has happened to Russell is totalitarianism.
 
Try a Little Kindness

If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say, "You're going the wrong way"

You've got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

You got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

He is busy fore-warning and denying whatever is coming, so it must be bad.

Personally I loathe the man. Along with Jonathan Ross his conduct towards the lovely Andrew Sachs, involving his grand-daughter , was simply disgraceful a few years ago. That indicates his character.

I am probably unfair, but some people I just don't like, they appear to have few morals, lots of arrogance and deficiency of values. It then is no surprise when things catch up with them.

I am not fond of those type of people either. Morality has gone to pot!

Well, evidence is required - for justice both ways. Otherwise hearsay will put men in prison everywhere. Women do cry rape sometimes.

I'm not defending RUSSELL but anyone who is accused but not charged with anything. Isn't our system of justice based on the premise that a person is innocent until proven guilty? I cannot answer your question because I don't know how nine women could prove that they had been raped. Usually rape kits are used. But if LE did not investigate what can we prove? I don't think a person can be charged based on something similar to hearsay. I'm not a lawyer but any DA worth anything would feel the case lacks hard evidence.
