Anyone have sympathy for Russell Brand?

I think he pushed his luck and some women are rightfully pressing charges, but then again who can know what was said between them at the time. I am on the wall with this.

Wow a rapist apologist. No doubt you support Tate as well.

I think we must be careful about this post as it is Sub Judice. He is on trial at the moment.

He's a fraudulent parasite. So yes. I can sympathize with fraudulent parasites.

The part where he was having one night stands with loads of women who then wanted a full blown relationship, sure, some sympathy there. But raping the ones who didn't want sex? No sympathy.

Nope. A definite wrong one. Thought he was an interecktuaul but was in fact a fucking weirdo. Fuck them women who are calling him out. Funking shysters. Poor you.

Some women are rightfully pressing charges but you're on the wall? (You mean fence)

They are either rightfully complaining or not. Which is it?

No I don't have sympathy for him, he told us who he is many times and I believe him.

No good man would talk about sticking his cock down a woman's throat until her mascara ran. If you haven't seen that routine I'm happy for you, it's disturbing.

I remember a while back seeing him in an interview where he was sat on the interview sofa yelling at a camera crew worker off camera to get her tits out, and telling her he could get her fired if he wanted. He knew he was being filmed and was really playing up to it.

I remember at the time thinking Jesus, what an c*nt. There was just a kind of embarrassed laughter around the set and then the interviewer loudly distracted him and got on with the interview.

I believe everything they say about him. He even says some pretty awful things in his stand up.

Daniel Sloss even pointed out he was a pervert AND he stole his actual successful act from another comedian.

I believe the expression is 'on the fence'... And you absolutely shouldn't be. "Pushed his luck" my arse.

nasted@reddit

No.

Weird that you'd give the benefit of the doubt to someone who's very publicly been a non-stop terrible person for 20+ years. Are you Russell's anon Reddit account?

Not really considering he's being accused of rape and sexual assault by four different women, not just some poorly chosen words.

Zero sympathy. It’s quite easy not to assault and demean women for years, since most people haven’t done it.

Man’s a prolific predator and malignant narcissist who will say anything to get attention or to deflect responsibility. His pivot to the far-right was predictable when people started questioning his behaviour and his supposed conversion to Christianity just as the actual allegations emerged was typical. The man’s always been gross and I’m ashamed that his attitude and actions weren’t clearly marked as unacceptable by higher-ups at the BBC and elsewhere sooner given that a lot of people seemed to know what he was like and what he was doing.

Well you can come right off that wall mate because he's definitely a wrong un. There are a number of well documented cases and his recent flip to right wing religious nut is classic grifter behaviour. He's been caught out and is now desperately trying to build a support base of the type of people who are fine with sexual assault.

In short, he's a cunt.
