Actor and political pundit Russell Brand is facing multiple charges of rape and sexual assault, London’s Metropolitan Police announced on Friday, listing charges that span more than six years.
i feel like ive read this headline many times before
and suddenly his pivot to a maga supporter makes sense.
Explains his overnight pivot to being a born-again Christian, too. It was so overtly slimy.
Just assume they are rapists or some kind of awful criminal when they do this. You won’t be wrong.
I wonder what Gwen Stefani is doing. 😂
I had no idea he was a comedian. All I’ve ever known him as was a scumbag.
I am shocked and appalled… Wait not “shocked”… What’s the word? Oh yeah “completely unsurprised.”
Damn, I was about to post that article! But regardless, there is so much proof regarding Brand’s misdeeds which may contributed to his “rebranding” from a liberal revolutionary hippie to a conservative Christian.
There was a rebrand? I don’t follow anything he does, so I didn’t even notice.
In the 2000s and 2010s Brand was seen as a progressive who rallied against the 1 % with some hippie spirituality thing sprinkled in. He started his own YouTube channel. Then around 2020 he was slowly incorporating things like The Great Reset, rallying against vaccine mandates and other right-wing talking points. He started to appear with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro and the like. The rebranding reached a culmination in April 2024, when he was baptised.
Imagine me, knowing him from saying things like “I don’t vote because I’m an anarchist and I don’t want to even participate in the system” to recently learning that he is now MAGA style right wing
rebrand
Ba dum tiss
I don’t think anyone is surprised by this. The guy has been an obvious creep for years. I was kind of expecting murder charges, tbh.
I guess Jonah Hill is next, then Elizabeth Moss?
what…
what???
As I’ve been watching Diddy and Beand go down, I’ve been thinking to myself, “Damn, and I really like that movie!” I just need to remember to say “scandals noted” when watching this or Forgetting Sarah Silverman in the future.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Guessing you were thinking of Saving Silverman?
Nah, just being dumb. Was thinking Sarah Marshall, and brain said, “Sarah… Silverman?”
Again?
The criminal charges were announced one and a half years after Brand was accused of sexual misconduct by four women in the fall of 2023.
I’m assuming you’re referencing to these earlier accusations. Accusations -> Charges-> Prosecution -> Verdict is the usual process.
As an aside I’ve actually been rewatching a lot of panel shows and he’s consistently my least favourite participant.
Not really surprised on this one.
I’m not at all surprised.
