I could be if he were in the UK and arrested…

u/UnIntelligent_Local 1d ago

Is anyone surprised?

u/UnreliablePotato 1d ago

Yeah, surprised it didn't happen at least 10 years ago.

u/ZachVorhies 1d ago

Derp state is gonna derp state.

20+ years ago this happened. So this is a political hit job.

u/s1rblaze 1d ago

The conservative have a very strong team to win the cope olympique this year.

u/ZachVorhies 1d ago

20 years ago dude. How dumb do you think we are to not see through this now?

u/Ayiti79 23h ago

It seems political. Out of the blue even, granted, this was talked about a long time ago.

Perhaps he said or did something recently that ruffled some feathers and knocked over a hornets nest simultaneously. 🤷🏾‍♂️

He's been pretty critical of Isreal at least somewhat recently. Imo he needs to go to court over this. I don't know enough about the allegations to have an opinion on his guilt or innocence, but if it happened, those women deserve justice. No matter how many years it's been.

u/Ayiti79 22h ago

I see, but with these allegations and the like, some folks are skeptical, mainly with several examples we have over the years, especially if news break about alleged claims at the most awkward time, in some instances even weaponized.

We'll just have to see how this plays out. Unfortunately since he is a guy, be it he is innocent or guilty, he will be looked at as the bad guy in the whole situation.

The women came forward at the time but were dismissed by the BBC and told to be quiet because he was too famous and a moneymaker for them.

The BBC recently apologised profusely for doing so, presumably because The Met had evidence and it was undeniable any longer.

A simple Google search confirms this.

P.S., Christianity is Russell's 4th religion he has converted to, and he only converted once Trump was a shoe-in. He did it for this exact moment, and you've bought it. You've literally been scammed and his propaganda has worked on you. Yikes.

u/ZachVorhies 1d ago

when did it happen originally

5

u/NeptunianWater 1d ago

Between 1999 and 2005.

"Hey you know how I robbed a bank for millions of dollars, terrorising the cashiers and even killing a hostage on the way out? Yeah since it happened 25 years ago, no one should believe the accusers, especially because I apparently found god FOR REAL THIS TIME."

Too easy.

1

u/ZachVorhies 18h ago

Okay when presumably did the BBC get intel on this and refuse to air it?

Plus, if you don’t think the deep state would drum up a rape charge then go see Julian assange, or supreme court confirmation hearings. It’s a common tactic.

2

u/nalon121 17h ago

Why do you care so much about defending this person?

1

u/MyGrandmasCock 8h ago

Because he’s just so genuine and not at all a grifter. Look at his sweet, sincere face.

0

u/ZachVorhies 17h ago

If it makes you feel better I was also against the fabricated sex charge against Julian Assange.

Brand is speaking out and now it looks like he’s getting the same treatment.

4

u/nalon121 16h ago

Brand published secrets (and propaganda) of several governments and spent years imprisoned without conviction?

I’m not exactly Assange’s biggest fan but at least he did things beyond himself that people cared about. Brand is just a weird C-lister who no government cares enough about to bother censoring.

Nobody cares what Brand says. We care about what he did.

1

u/ZachVorhies 6h ago

R Brand has a massive audience.

It’s like you exhale and a lie comes out.

u/wishwashy 15h ago

found god FOR REAL THIS TIME."

The correct god too this time! Capitalism and all

Looks like you've already been debunked :

u/NeptunianWater 1d ago

How is the guy charged with rape saying "nah uh" debunking what I said?

That's all the video is in the link you posted.

u/FragrantSpread311 22h ago

You must be the type who screams guilty until proven innocent. Go touch grass.

u/WillFerrellsGut_Fold 1d ago

You and your Trump emoji are Derps for real.

1

u/nalon121 18h ago

He raped someone 20yrs ago so….it’s fine?

1

u/ZachVorhies 17h ago

You say that as if you were there.

1

u/nalon121 16h ago

I wasn’t. But I care enough to find out. How long ago it might’ve happened doesn’t change that for me.

What if it’s a rape that’s 19yrs old instead of 20? Is that better? Does it need to be under 18 for you to care?

1

u/ZachVorhies 6h ago

Shut up shill. The media has been shopping this story around for the last year because they don’t like Russel Brands politics.

Blair white just came out and said BBC tried to recruit her and they were desperate to push this story.

So just another derp state hit piece.

-11

u/Traditional-Shine278 1d ago

Yea he made Abad decision repented of his bad ways and is trying to do better.. ohh hey let's ruin your whole good vibe life by scorning you for past things.. yes it was bad but does his whole life need to be tarnished if you've tried to make amends

14

u/andrey_not_the_goat 1d ago

Sexual assault is not just some past things lmao. The mental gymnastics to make it sound like he blew a red light or something.

-3

u/Traditional-Shine278 1d ago

I'm stating that people do fucked up shit but if it was last week fuck um up if it was a long ass time ago and they are clearly not that kinda person anymore they don't deserve to be completely wrecked

4

u/bigL2392 1d ago

Rape is not something redeemable dude. They absolutely deserve it

-1

u/Traditional-Shine278 22h ago

Well I preach forgivness where it is honestly asked for.. if some things are forgivin and not others then nothing should

7

u/prussianprinz 1d ago

Lol, same with Epstein right. Just a guy who made some bad decisions.

-8

u/Traditional-Shine278 1d ago

No he was a real pos.. I'm saying if you did some fucked up shit years and years ago you don't deserve to get your life ruined.. if and only if you clearly trying to turn your life around

2

u/No_Explorer_352 1d ago

Repenting means nothing a rapist is a rapist and always will be religion is an excuse for scum bags to pretend to be good while still being scumbags

0

u/Traditional-Shine278 22h ago

Or it could be for those who are serious in their faith and use it to stop the scumbag habits and people before it can start that's the true walk

5

u/Potential-Sky-8728 1d ago

Very on brand for him

15

u/Agitated-Wishbone259 1d ago

Hence the reason one becomes conservative.

The typical narrative.

Accused of a crime.

Become conservative.

Blame everyone else especially the media.

u/Bright_Square_3245 1d ago

Saw some weirdo on a podcast say that Russel Btand is being framed by the left in the U.S. for being a born again Christian in the U.K. He's being framed by his satanic ex-wife Katy Perry who sold her soul to the devil. I stopped listening when the weirdo started breaking down Katy Perry lyrics.

3

u/frozenwalkway 1d ago

He was married to Katy Perry what the fuck lol

3

u/Bright_Square_3245 1d ago

For 2 years from 2010 to 2012.

u/kittymctacoyo 1h ago

This is 100% why he made a sudden severe dip into far right politics as soon as he got the heads up this stuff was about to go public, bcs he knew that base would immediately swear this is what’s happening and he’d still have a huge base of supporters to fall back on. that’s the go to every single time and has been for decades

u/Minimum_Factor_3281 23h ago

MAGA : who cares about due process. Deport them! Also MAGA: where is the evidence on russell brand?

2

u/Atmosphere-Dramatic 1d ago

Lock him up.

u/Advanced-Summer1572 1d ago

I was wondering why he had become a public prayer warrior all of a sudden? I guess it didn't take?

u/Intelligent-Swan-615 1d ago

The UK is a fucking madhouse.

u/LordEscanorSin 11h ago

I always knew something was wrong with him.. just listen to him for 5 minutes, he is crazy

1

u/SashaScissors 10h ago

He speaks out and now the allegations from 20 years ago pop up 🙄🙄🙄🙄

1

u/kittymctacoyo 1h ago

that’s absolutely not what happened We tried to warn yall long ago that he was playing yall

1

u/TheAngrySnowman 6h ago

I didn’t read the article or anything, but can someone explain how he can be charged with rape 20+ years later? Was there evidence and stuff? Genuinely curious.

1

u/Remote_Elevator_281 6h ago

So that’s why he went full grifter 😂

1

u/johnnybones23 1d ago

25 years later? seems legit.

u/memetocrate 18h ago

He’s INNOCENT!!!

So far.

u/Early_Lifeguard_5875 1d ago

I called him a rapist in this sub a couple weeks ago and got down voted. Lots of morons asking "ArE ThE ACcuSatIONs CrEdIbLE?". As always I am vindicated.

u/insentient7 21h ago

As always I am vindicated

That sentence does not make you as credible as you seem to think it does…

Doubt since it would be hard to find.

u/MikeAndresen1983 1d ago

One of the charges is from 1999. 26 years ago. Laughable. But the left is evil and he spoke out against them

13

u/Reasonable_Deer_1710 1d ago

"the left is evil for going after a rapist. The actual rapist who raped someone is not evil"

-you, not probably, but actually, with this comment

16

u/RedditH8r4ever 1d ago

Dang the party of “law and order” sure seems to love rapists. Or is it just that you hate women? Both?

-15

u/MikeAndresen1983 1d ago

Nah I’m just good at calling out the left and its evil ways

10

u/RedditH8r4ever 1d ago

Keep telling yourself that, weirdo. Im sure defending rapists online is really fighting the good fight lmao… your family must be so proud of you

by shutting the fuck up maybe lmao

u/SadData8124 1d ago

I dunno maybe stop with the bullshit identity politics. Left or right most politicians are corrupt rapists

3

u/OliLeeLee36 1d ago

"Most politicians are corrupt rapists"; come on bro, hyperbole much?

-1

u/SadData8124 1d ago

Well if they ever release the epstein rules and not the highly redacted bs shit they're putting out maybe we'll find out. Biden sniffs kids, bush was part of the skull and bones, lots of celebrities and politicians around or close to epstein.

The ruling class are rapists, but if you want to pick a side and ignore all signs be my guest.
