There's no media trial, no legal process. He lost all his sponsors, and that's that. Make up your mind?
That's literal industry greenwashing right there, in front of our eyes, and all you've got is this redundant legal drivel.
CBBC star says 'not a single' UK comedian wasn't aware of Russell Brand allegations
London Hughes claims she was warned about Russell Brand by her agent and says every comedian "knew" the star was "dodgy". The comedian and former BBC star has spoken out on Twitter, now rebranded as X.
Hughes wrote: "There's not a single comedian in the UK that wasn't aware of his behaviour. We've all heard the rumours. I always had the understanding that he was, for lack of a better word, 'dodgy', and I should avoid him." She added: "I was so excited to meet him. But my first day at the agency I was told unprovoked that I shouldn't sleep with him under any circumstances.
"He likes to pursue women, have sex with them. But as soon as he has sex with them they'd make him feel sick and he didn't want to be around them anymore." She claimed Brand would then "have them fired, or dropped from the agency".
Sean Lock's reason for hating Russell Brand after he said 'I've got this fear'
Comedian Sean Lock's "reason for hating" Russell Brand has resurfaced in a clip online amid harrowing rape allegations against the Big Brother's Big Mouth star. Channel 4 comedian Lock admitted the reason he hated Brand was over "fears as a father" in a 8 Out of 10 Cats clip.
Sean, who passed away with cancer at the age of 58 in August 2021, said on the show that he had a 'fear' his daughters would bring home a man like Brand one day. "Probably the reason I hate him so much is because I'm a dad and I've got this fear that one day my daughters will bring something like that home," he said.

Do you think Russell Brand still has that phone.....or the message discussion?
Do a quick search and let me know if he still has any sort of contract? This is done already, quick guillotine action without trial.
All you need to do is observe someone's repeated patterns of behavior. And look at the type of people they consort with. It looks like Brand put himself in compromising positions every day. That increases the odds of criminal activity and/or abusive behavior.
You add nothing about him being a changed man.
Can I ask if you think a "changed man" should be allowed to get away with past crimes? 'IF' and I say 'If' Brand committed even one of these rapes or sexual assults do you think he should face charges?

Do you know how difficult it is to beat an addiction? Especially to a hard drug like heroin? Alcohol too? And sex? He has to battle all three on top of maintaining his celebrity status. He's still surrounded by the same environment he was in as an addict. So how long has he been sober, how long has he been clean? How has he cleaned up his behavior/lifestyle so that he is no longer falling prey to abusing his own body or anyone else's? Is there a biography or any documentation where he outlines the steps, in depth, that he took to turn his life around? I'd like to see it from his own words. I can't gauge his sincerity from your account.
Makes me wonder who paid for the schoolgirl taxi tours tho.

what is the chance of there being enough evidence to take to court now given that the chances of seeing justice is already slim for rape victims who report their rapes to the police now, even with dna evidence, indeed if they are historic then they would have had better chances then than they do now..
The distressing truth is that if you are raped in Britain today, your chances of seeing justice are slim
Given there is little confidence in Met handling of reported rapes, a culture of misogyny has been identified and the recent trials and incarceration of rapists within that force, one wonders if they will now use this high profile case to improve their own reputation as anything other than a serious joke in law enforcement.
