Potential consequences for rape is all it takes for someone to entirely give up on convictions.

• One woman alleges that Brand raped her against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day. The Times says it has seen medical records to support this
• A second woman alleges that Brand assaulted her when he was in his early 30s and she was 16 and still at school. She alleges he referred to her as "the child" during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship
• A third woman claims that Brand sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles, and that he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation
• The fourth woman alleged being sexually assaulted by Brand and him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her

It's funny how everyone who enters Trump's sphere abandons all previous principles. It's almost like he's surrounded himself with spineless rubes looking to get a position of power while agreeing to everything that he says.

at least the ketchup was vegan.

I have a bunch of friends who enjoy watching his content because he does highlight some honest questions about serious topics.

I have to keep reminding them ..... he's an entertainer and a celebrity ... he's not a journalist, researcher or trained academic

He will spit out whatever sounds right and say it loud enough, often enough, then slap a thumbnail of his surprised face on the video promo and people will watch it without any critical thought.

No matter how good someone may sound .... if you can't trust them, nothing they say is of any worth.

Russell Brand is a grifter?!? Whaaaat? How could he have changed so radically?!?

So on Brand

This guy has always seemed like an asshole to me.

I wonder if Brand had been accused of rape by other men if that would have made the difference. If Trump was accused of raping a male Wall Street banker instead of E. Jean Carroll, would that have smothered his candidacy in its crib? I honestly think it would have. Which is a sad thing to believe.

Jeebus eats fishes!

@Sunshine they never were vegan

To be fair, he hasn't wavered much on being rape-y.

Human piece of shit that will go wherever praise can be gotten.

Somebody really fucked this guy up.

i think it's fun to refer to him as a "christian rock star". you know, because he's a christian with a rock and roll album.

Biggest sellout in history. I'm just glad I saw the writing on the wall long in advance when he would talk all the time about "community" but literally never engaged with it at all (the only time he even addressed commenters was when their comments were literally printed on paper and handed to him).

This man is the definition of a charlatan
