C4 Dispatches special investigation - Russell Brand

He’s on dangerous territory isn’t he? Not so much the darling of the left now because of his conspiracy theories, getting older and more conformist in his personal life, so not appealing to the young and rebellious as much, promoting anti-establishment views……

So any weaknesses and mistakes they’re going to jump on…

Absolutely Maree.
How many times have we seen this happen with other people.
I don’t think people realise how crafty and underhanded the establishment can be, and with control of the media they can convince you of anything they want to.
I’m with Katie on this.

As soon as I read Katie Hopkins was a supporter any credibility was gone.

I can’t stand her either and didn’t Russell Brand once break into a studio where she was recording and call her a Nazi? Strange bedfellows

Perhaps she’s doing it on purpose for revenge because she knows her supporting him will be the final nail in the coffin :rofl:

Of course there could be an establishment conspiracy against Brand … but is he worth the effort … :man_shrugging:

It’s more likely that his past is catching up with him and that curiosity/jealousy/revenge have all (and others) played their part in opening up a can of worms … :canned_food:🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱… and there’s money to be made … from all sides … :money_mouth_face:

Brand has always behaved grotesquely and he is responsible for his own behaviour - but weirdly TV and Radio Channels were keen to pay him lots of money to act that way, so his TV Bosses were partly to blame for letting him get away with all that grotesque behaviour, both on and off air.

The last time I recall his behaviour being so outrageously grotesque as to outrage public opinion was over Andrew Sachs.
Back then in 2013, Brand tried to play the victim and pass the blame onto the people who were complaining about him, saying they were biased against the BBC.
The so-called Sachsgate controversy erupted because of a bias against the BBC, comedian Russell Brand has said.

Now he’s no longer working for the BBC and other scandalous allegations have arisen, he’s switched the narrative to playing the victim and saying it’s a conspiracy to have a go at him because he’s an independent broadcaster.

I imagine that these latest revelations are just as likely to damage the brand of the TV and production companies who used to employ him, so why would they conspire to bring this stuff out into the open if it would damage them as much as it may damage Brand?
That doesn’t make sense.
In fact it’s likely to do more damage to the reputation of BBC and Channel 4 than to Brand’s reputation.
Considering the unsavoury reputation Brand already has, if he still has people following his alternative media streams, they are probably not likely to be put off by a bit more disgusting behaviour added to his back catalogue :nauseated_face:

Hi

I am going to get into so much trouble over this, but here goes.

I have two sisters and a daughter.

I am not stupid enough to pretend they will remain virgins, they will have a sex life and I hope they enjoy it.

That is how the human race continues.

It is however a woman’s body to give and hopefully enjoy the experience.

What is not acceptable however is for someone to sexually touch a female without her consent.

I was a typically randy teenager, and yes, I did try.

I had two younger sisters, so no meant no.

That is that, very simple.

The Police are useless, a very low prosecution rate for rape and sexual assault.

Best dealt with yourselve.

I can’t stand Brand, but I am getting fed up hearing sexual allegations about every single celebrity of public figure every other week.

@OldGreyFox , That sentence I put in bold type was a quote from a newspaper in 2013 - they were not my own words

I would not describe Brand as a comedian either.

There’s no middle ground with him, you either like him or loathe him. But no matter your feelings it doesn’t make him guilty. I would be more inclined to believe these so called accusers if they had reported it at the time, not later on. But Prince Andrew is now old news so it’s time for the next poor bugger to be hung out to dry.
I’m not a fan of his either but he did make me giggle in the remake of the St Trinian’s Films.

To say I can’t stand him would be an understatement… nuff said!

I agree Rox. :+1: People might not like him or Katie Hopkins, but it doesn’t make them wrong.

I dont believe I’ve ever seen a Russell Brand programme.
Obviously I must of lived a sheltered life :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
But what I’ve read about Brand over the last few days should they be true I don’t feel I’ve missed out

Brand …Well he might well be a wrong un, however we’ll have to wait and see the outcome should these revelations end up in court.

He used to be on tv a lot in the first decade of this century. He built his reputation on being sleazy so no doubt the allegations are true but probably won’t be prosecuted unless victims make a formal complaint.
It’s swamping the news at the moment.

Hi

I have deliberately kept away from this sleazebag.

Years ago both he and Johnathon Ross made some very abusive comments about a young girl who was related to a famous TV personality.

They thought it was very funny to do so, a huge joke.

Completely false and highly damaging.

They are very, very lucky that the family involved did not react in the same way that the males of any Yorkshire family so affected would have reacted.

They are so dismissive of women they should have been outcasts from day one.

It made the news here - go to about 6 minutes in.

He is not well known here I don’t think but he has been on commercial TV here. He seems an appalling person.
