I listen to a fair few UK comedian podcasts and for the last while they've alluded to an A-list comedian that's a known 'wrong'un' but there were injunctions and legal threats so they couldn't risk saying who.
There's a lot of comedians on Twitter now coming out saying Brand was said wrong'un.

I wonder how Joe Rogan and people of his kind would defend this guy because he seems nice and does BJJ but pushes some... alternative facts to the public.

Imagine he's going to spin this as more of the mainstream media attacking someone, and invite Brand on his show. Then the next week he'll have Bernie Sanders on again or something to claim he's just trying to give voice to both sides.

Considering that two of his best mates Chris D'Elia and Bryan Callen have been accused of sexual assault. Most likely he will keep his mouth well out of this one if he knows what is good for him.

Read up on some of his history, and holy f***..... even if this is bullshit, the guy is a dick.
Can only blame drug addiction for so much.

People like him make me ashamed of being of the male gender. An absolute ass. I just cant understand how some people cant keep their filthy hands off women,children and men to,it disgusts me how some human beings feel they can do what they do with no consequences.If true, throw the book at him.

This is the least surprising thing ever. Only surprised that he wasn’t accused until now.

I never got his standup. Or liked whatever movies I saw him in. But I did watch him for a while on YouTube. He did have some interesting things to say, but he went off on some strange porn rant and I just stopped.
Not at all surprised, considering what he did to that girl and her grandfather with the prank call.

I'm waiting for him to star in a new movie: Get Him to the Clink.

I've have never been less shocked to discover someone is a sexual predator This. I'm not one on the "hey I don't like this guy so finding this out is not a surprise" thing but hey, I don't like this guy and it's not a surprise. It's even less surprising than Danny Masterson was. It's horrible, he's trash and I hope they throw the book at his bitch ass.

For those unfamiliar with his more recent antics, I highly suggest the anti-Russell podcast On Brand. That was a real eye opener for me. Like... I knew he had some shitty takes. But I had no idea just how shit they truly are.

And to the surprise of noone, the sycophants are crawling out to defend him because he "speaks the truth".
"This will backfire big time for the establishment"
I somehow doubt a C-List celebrity being exposed as a rapist is going to bring "the establishment" crashing down.

It’s also because UK libel laws are very different from US ones in what you can sue for and what proof is needed for accusations like this so considering the length of time this investigation had been going on for and how quick Channel 4 was to put this on the air after they had likely had it double and triple checked by lawyers and how quick Brand was to get ahead of it even when his name hadn’t been revealed yet, it must have been practically air tight.

Brand's right wing fans will claim this is a conspiracy by the liberal media until they realise The Times and The Sunday Times are owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Yeah. IIRC UK libel laws are much more friendly to the plaintiff compared to the US. Especially for public figures and compared to states with anti-SLAPP laws.

Wasn't Brand a bit of a leftie? How come he's now seen as being a rightie? I imagine his following is probably made up with a mix of both.
