Popular Post Xela Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 Was discussing this with my Mom earlier, and she seemed a bit confused. Turns out she thought I was talking about Russell Grant. I spotted a chance... "if it was him, surely he would have seen it coming!" "Eh?" Thanks Mom. Tough crowd. 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted September 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm still trying to understand how these accusations can be "baroque". Are they from the 18th century? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rape, multiple sexual assaults, controlling and threatening behaviour, inappropriate (at best) work behaviour, classic 'keep the girls away from him' shit, etc etc. He's scum. Anyone got a link to the story that isn’t behind paywall? Edit: Not to worry, it’s everywhere now. Edited September 16, 2023 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The stories against Brand are stomach turning. Finally, he can’t behind his wealth to stop the media exposing him - him acting the victim of the media just shows how he cynically created a persona to rebuke it when it finally came out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been accused of rape by an actual women.. Should they ignore it because he's a bit of a mentalist? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The accusations backed up by evidence are horrendous. But of course, it's just because he's been so close to the truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paddywhack Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) He was so close to exposing the government/mainstream media for what they are, the scumbags have gone back and dug up some daft little rapes he’s done. Bastards, dragging his good name through the mud. Edited September 16, 2023 by Paddywhack 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The comments beneath that Brand video are a real concern. Guess which billionaire is leading the charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 I’m sitting on quite a celebrity scandal myself, waiting for the right moment to monetise it. I once offered to buy Joh Fashanu a drink. He said no thanks Chris, I don’t drink alcohol, no offence, I just never touch the stuff. I said it was any drink, it didn’t have to be alcoholic. He said oh, fair enough, I’ll have a Baileys. True story that. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 None of these allegations are in the least bit surprising. I hope he’s found guilty and locked away for a long time. He’ll prove good fun for the lads on P wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 16, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm playing catch up a bit here - is it "just" Russell Brand now? Is there a tweet he's posted and a video that the chap above made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Is the programme tonight is just about Russell Brand then? I thought it was going to drag a plethora of famous people down but it looks like it’s just Brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few names in the world of comedy that are rumoured to be on the cusp of being exposed, but the Dispatches / Times stuff seems to be centred around Brand - who has posted a video early to try to get in front of everything. The video above is like a Michael Spicer "Room Next Door" thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah. I must admit, I was hoping it would be a larger story than Russell Brand being a monster - I mean he spent the early part of his career encouraging that idea, so it's not too much of a shock to move from dickhead to monster. Thank you though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
