Russell Brand denies 'serious criminal allegations' he claims are being made against him

a reply to: Turquosie

Unfortunately, so many people are still entrapped in the matrix and will fall for smear campaigns and be suckered into trusting mainstream media.

The irony is flowing strong tonight....

Also unfortunately, many people are still entrapped in the MAGA Qanon matrix and will only believe what their confirmation bias tells them.

No, and no.

Don't put words into my mouth, thank you.

I am trying to understand why you responded to what I wrote.
Did I trigger something to make you think I was talking to you?

Now I’m putting words in your mouth with a question?

Or did reasoning rear it’s ugly head, and you ain’t having none of that.

a reply to: Turquosie

Lets say he was in a sexually abusive relationship. If one used to be a bad person, drug addict and sex addict. But apologized for his past misdeeds and has become a better person - do we still hold them indefinetly accountable for their past actions?

if they broke laws, yes we should no matter how they pretend to have changed.

Can people who have done bad things be forgiven if they have changed?

yes they can be forgiven, but still should pay for their crimes if they committed any or never trusted in any similar curcumstances. you'd have to be a damn fool to do other wise.

You were talking to me. Two questions, I answered them in the negative.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

I was talking to you after you responded to my post that wasn’t addressed to you, but I’m now assuming you thought it was.

a reply to: TheLieWeLive

Does it matter?

We are both in this thread.

Your opinions are yours to freely express, but beware when your opinions are adopted from hearsay.

And how did the accusers know anyone came forward, so they could get courage to do so, when we are both just hearing about these accusations ourselves?

This is taken from the 'times' link from a post by bastion on page 1......

All said they felt ready to speak only after being approached by reporters. Several said they felt compelled to do so given Brand’s newfound prominence as an online wellness influencer, with millions of followers on YouTube and other sites.

a reply to: Itisnowagain

Well, yes, so what?

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Apparently not.

You’ve been TRIGGERED!

Pew pew

You won!

a reply to: TheLieWeLive

Well, you win the internet.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

In that case I’m shutting it all down.

Bye, I’m canceling all of your subscriptions.

You can blame Oldcarpy2.

Thank you for telling us who he is. I saw the name but had no clue of his identity before reading your post

From what I've read all 4/5 women say they were in a relationship with Brand.
I know, that does not mitigate any criminal offence he may/may not have allegedly comitted according to these women. However, I have read excerpts from each of their relevations and I was hard pushed to find anything which would be considerred a criminal offence. Maybe they've cherry picked what they printed and there is more. We shall have to wait and see. But, thus far, my opinion is that these women are "chancing their arm" as we say in the UK.
Just for clarity, I find Brand very Marmite, one minute I can agree with him, next I don't. Overall, I dislike his personality, not my cup of tea.
I am also old enough to remember that incident with Brand, Ross and Sachs, I was disgusted.

I've always thought the dude looked like a creepy little weasel.

Suppose it's probably best to hear the allegations and evidence before coming to any sort of conclusion.

Innocence being maintained until proven guilty, it would probably be best to at least hear the allegations.

20 years after the fact 🫢

Have fun finding 12 unbiased people to sit this through a trial homeboy.

Apparently, 5 Women have come out against him.

"Dispatches" on Channel 4 will have more to say at 9pm.

I tend to agree.

Still watching the "Dispatches" episode.

20 years after the fact 🫢

Allegedly It's a 16-year-old he was into, him being 30 at the time, which has alarm bells ringing you have to admit if true.

Whilst it might not be technically illegal it does spell "stoat the ball".

I'm wondering how he's not pals with Prince Andrew.

As to it being 20 years after the fact, well a beast is a beast, i don't think there is really any time limit on dirty bastardness, and he did harp on about Jeffrey Epstein quite a bit....... Possibly projection?

Have fun finding 12 unbiased people to sit this through a trial homeboy.

That would be the prosecution and courts department, if indeed he is ever prosecuted i should imagine, and nothing to do with me........homeboy.

These allegations arriving immediately after Brand takes a massive swipe at big-pharma.

Suddenly, multiple women make allegations. Have they pressed charges with the police? Was somebody paid to track down the ex's? Did any of them come forward previously, not taken seriously, put on back burner, and now it is expedient, full exposé?

Whatever the truth, we shall never really know - just another false binary to bicker over - deflecting public opinion. I guess, in some quarters, Brand is seen as dangerously influential

fellow Comedians, Fern Bardy, Stewart Lee, Katherine Ryan and Jimmy carr have made comments in the past about him being a little to touch feely without permission in the past, way before this documentry and his defense, its not a new thing

"Have fun finding 12 unbiased people to sit this through a trial homeboy."

Not a problem. Why might you think it would be?

Perhaps, on that logic, we should do away with Jury's?

What else do you suggest we do?

a reply to: teapot

Yes, we will know. After a public trial.

Your questions are otiose but his very expensive lawyers will be better placed than you to pose any.

Currently no Police charges against him.

Methinks he doth protest too much?
