So it goes something like this:
- Man rapes
- Man gets away with it for a while
- Man gets charged for it
- Man joins the far-right
People think Russell Brand is funny?
No junk, no soul
And his right-wing transformation is now complete.
I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t the other way around.
He probably knew some charges were coming years ago, and started adapting his output accordingly.
Oh for sure. He’s been soft-pedaling his right-wing transformation ever since the initial allegations went public years ago. The hard turn recently is probably exactly as you say, he knew charges were coming.
I don’t think he thinks the way you and I do. I don’t think it was that calculated.
It doesn’t take much calculating at all. It’s just easy to convince right-wing audiences that sexual misconduct allegations are all a conspiracy by the Deep StateTM to silence them. It’s a pretty basic grift.
The only guy guy in the world who was less annoying when he was on crack
After watching Kathy Perry’s documentary and what he did to her, I fucking hate this asshole.
Kathy Perry
lul
“names may have been changed to protect people’s privacy”
I never watched that, what did he do?
He divorced her over text, minutes before she was about to get on stage on her premiere tour. Then ghosted her after.
Holy FUCK. You know back when he was pretending to be a queer leftist, he had me genuinely fooled. He’s a truly scary fucker.
God that’s awful. And calculatingly cruel.
It’s like seeing two turds collide
Huh, women intuition is never wrong
Until it is
What the fuck?
How did his newly found faith in God not spare him of this???
A resolve all your sins get out of jail free card you get when you become Christian is how.
He’ll use this in his defence, somehow. Swear blind it’s why he miraculously found God.
Removed by mod
Let’s just not mention that the “whichever new faith” we’re speaking of is the very rapey evangelical Christianity, while making sure that we randomly emphasize that Islam is rapey, which is then expanded into Muslims being rapey. All in a post that has nothing at all to do with Islam or Muslims or refugees or whatever other bogeymen we regularly like to demonize.
Rapist Russell Brand charged with Attempted Comedy
You’re kiddin’! HIM? …Nahhh. He’s always seemed like a super stable, reliable guy. You just never know about some people, you know?
It’s always the ones you mostly suspect…
Wait… Is racism back on the table guys??
That irish fucker with the marshmallows is gonna get it
Don’t worry, he can buy a Trump Gold Card, become a U.S. citizen, and Trump will offer him the position of Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues.
It’s always the people who you expect the most.
Russell Brand… Why is that name familiar?
He’s a famous rapist.
Famed accused rapist Russell Brand?
He used to be in movies I guess, he turned rapist once he got outed by the news. Then he pivoted right wing, naturally as a way to shield himself from criticism
Seems to be the power move of these clowns.
Get caught doing something wrong, instead of owning up to it or apologizing… just going “I JOINED THE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THE WOKE LEFT TRIED TO TELL ME THE HOLOCAUST ACTUALLY HAPPENED! THEY’VE GONE TOO FAR!” and sadly winning allies from that
It’s always the ones you most suspect.
This explains his sudden turn to Christianity last year. He’s going to try the “God forgave me” defense.
Actually it was his turn to the right wing grifting. Christianity was just icing on the cake to make evangelicals acceptable to him
it was pretty obvious when he started to trying to hide behind the pro-rape party of conservatives.
More like “I can’t be guilty of such a crime. I’m saved!”
That’s very unsurprising
I found this part surprising:
He has also established himself as a wellness guru.
This is the guy we should be deporting.
He’s getting the Trump Gold Card that was announced, not getting deported. That card is just a call for the world’s shadiest people to relocate to the US. Perfect, what could go wrong?!
Wealthy immigrant accused of rape and spewing lies at every turn? Deport him? They going to offer him a job leading what ever department he wants to demolish. Probably justice.
after a police investigation into allegations made following the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary
"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.
Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary? Why didn’t the police investigate before? If so there should be an investigation and prosecution of those involved in the “non-investigation”.
This failure to investigate is an outrage, many people including me listened to Russel Brand in the 2010s, but the police failed to investigate and now has the gall to say “the defendant has a right to a fair trial”? Does the public not also have a right to a fail investigation and prosecution?
Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary?
I might be speaking out of my ass here, but it could be that the allegations were brought to the police first, but there wasn’t enough evidence at the time for the police to file charges, and then the documentary investigation turned up more evidence than the police had.
They may not have been, or the survivor may have not wanted to go to court so it went nowhere.
