"It’s important to remember that any of the comedians named may well be innocent - but also we absolutely must respect allegations made. It’s a maddening situation because assumption of innocence (particularly with celebs) can lead to women feeling like their (valid) stories aren’t listened to." The problem is there is very little investigative journalism these days (not that IJ doesn't have a dark side), and more find any hint of a rumour to run with. It's all gossip point collecting to be the first with the "news" with as many viewers as possible. The media agenda is never about doing the right thing, and always about whatever they can do to keep people busy and invested in that particular member of the media. | |||

"Some comedian is about to be outed this weekend. Channel 4 peddling big news. Anyone know more? About to be outed as what ?" That was going to be my question Sally. Outed as what ? Usually outed , or coming out , refers to admitting that you are Gay...... Big fucking deal. Absolutely , big fucking deal. If that is what this thread is about then it's pretty shameful that everyone gets so excited at the prospect of hearing about someone's sex life. It makes me quite nauseus. The more we learn about gender and sexuality then the more I believe that it isn't a fixed behaviour and who someone fucks harms no one. If they are going to be 'outed' for something else entirely , I can wait and see. | |||

Then we will allow the authorities to release any information before making our minds up. Sadly, if it is about him, I'm sure there's enough people who will find him guilty because of who he is regardless. | |||

I literally have no idea, and don't really care. And I can't say enough that we'd need to wait for justice to run its course, should it get that far. But the whole "it's a mainstream conspiracy against me as they're trying to shut me down for telling you the truth" always feels like a desperate deflection. | |||

"Who cares really ? " I do. I hope many others do too. What happens in the media affects us all. It's affecting behaviours on here at this moment. It affects the life of the accused and every member of their family. It affects the accuser if the accused is guilty and goes free. If tars the accused for ever regardless of the outcome. It reflects the way in which the populace think about sexual matters and what changes in legislation and public opinion and ultimately the behaviours and relationships of individuals will change for the worse or the better dependent upon their thought patterns and it affects on their mind, thoughts and ultimately behaviour. How detached can a person be to think that nothing matters as long as they themselves weren't harmed immediately ? | |||

The longer people take notice of the bullshit they spread the more influence they will have …. The comedian in question makes sense a lot of the time has a lot to say …. he’s not the 1st nor the last this will happen to … but either way I’m gonna sleep tonight … that’s my 2p and I’m out …… | |||

"Outed for what? https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/sep/16/russell-brand-posts-video-online-denying-unspecified-criminal-allegations" Thank you Will be interesting to see what the allegations are, fair play to RB for putting out his statement first. I shall hold opinion until more is disclosed, if it's true he deserves everything he gets. However I despise the British media, they are damaging and dangerous and usually court scandals as a deflection from bigger issues. | |||

Everyone who has seen his YouTube show will not be surprised that it has come to this." But as he also says he was very promiscuous back in the day, doesn't mean he was honest about everything. Regardless of allegations being true or not, as they very well could be - Let's not forget his double act phone call with Jonathan Ross, he was not always a "lovely" person so could very well still have done things. I have no doubt that (true or not) the media jumped at the chance of any hint of a whisper of a rumour to shut him down. But it doesn't mean the allegations are false either. | |||

"Russell Brand often criticises the main stream media and woke left extremists and now they are coming for him " You know Russel Brand is very much left wing, don’t you? In fact, he’s more left wing than most - perhaps even possible to describe his political views as ‘extremist’ He’s also very much liberal on topics of race, sexuality etc. So he’s actually pretty ‘woke’ too. | |||

" I stopped listening blindly to victims alone when my cousins ex accused him of sexual assault. It's a very easy thing to claim to cause damage to another person. The dates she gave and claimed it happened he was not in the country, nor was he weeks before and weeks after those dates. Some People lie. Some People tell horrible and vile lies to suit them. Some People won't care if it's harmful to actual victims by doing so. Damage had been done in terms of court of public opinion though. He has that stigma on him and a lot of people won't let it go. I'll take anyone seriously, whomever claims it happened to them and I will offer support. But no way am I going to base my condemning of a person based soley on a story and tears alone - I've seen the damage that can cause. | |||

High conviction rate i imagine, so all ok. Did I say that? Or is it something you just invented in your head? I’ll ask you again, do you believe that 99% of r@pe claims are unsubstantiated?" What do you mean by unsubstantiated ? I’m not a judge or jury. How would i know. | |||

"There have been rumours about non-consensual activity about Brand since 2006. I assume C4 and the Times (who publish tomorrow) have some evidence as he's won cases before. https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/russell-brand-questioned-over-alleged-rape-7196916.html You should be aware that Brand won a libel case against the newspaper who ran that story. All I will say is if he is one person they're naming or even implicating, they better have something to back it up because Brand isn't the type of person to allow this without pushing all the way. " That's what I said, yes. | |||

"It’s important to remember that any of the comedians named may well be innocent - but also we absolutely must respect allegations made. It’s a maddening situation because assumption of innocence (particularly with celebs) can lead to women feeling like their (valid) stories aren’t listened to. Allegations should only be respected if there is some serious evidence to go with it. Given the small percentage of successful r@pe convictions, and the high number of victims who withdraw their cases - I’d argue that we need to do a far better job of listening to victims. Note - I am categorically not suggesting at this moment in time that any of the comedians involved have committed any sexual offence. I stopped listening blindly to victims alone when my cousins ex accused him of sexual assault. It's a very easy thing to claim to cause damage to another person. The dates she gave and claimed it happened he was not in the country, nor was he weeks before and weeks after those dates. Some People lie. Some People tell horrible and vile lies to suit them. Some People won't care if it's harmful to actual victims by doing so. Damage had been done in terms of court of public opinion though. He has that stigma on him and a lot of people won't let it go. I'll take anyone seriously, whomever claims it happened to them and I will offer support. But no way am I going to base my condemning of a person based soley on a story and tears alone - I've seen the damage that can cause. " I agree | |||

" How detached can a person be to think that nothing matters as long as they themselves weren't harmed immediately ?" There is a difference in not caring about a newspaper article about a celebrity, compared to thinking nothing matters. If you let media coverage affect the you in the way you discuss then your life must be a constant barage of depression. If he's found guilty then he will deal with the punishment (probably more so than most as he calls the mainstream media out) and if he's not guilty then he will move on. We will never know the full details, its got nothing to do with us | |||

"What a palaver when the programme hasn't aired and the story hasn't been published! " The Times is reporting it now. But this was my point about his video last night: getting the "the blob is out to get me" line out before the allegations were known. It's probably worked, with even some on this thread suggesting it's a "left wing woke" conspiracy. The Times! That bastion of left-wing wokery, known for leading with celeb fodder. | |||

"I’ve come into this a bit late and I haven’t seen any videos or read any articles relating to it, my only real question is this. Having acquired the information, listened to tha catalogue of accusations, why is it not people’s first instinct to take this information to the police, in order for them to investigate and take further action if deemed appropriate, rather than make a tv programme or write a newspaper article about it. Surely by affording all the publicity to the accusations will it not make the job of an unbiased court case much more difficult, it could even result in a guilty person getting off, which given the not inconsiderable time and effort put into it seems like shooting yourself in the foot a bit. I have no axe to grind on this specific scenario as I have little to no knowledge of the facts and no interest in the personality involved. " | |||

I have followed him since the pandemic, and also read the comments on his videos, loads have said to him they gone come for you RB, so I say again if you have followed him then you won't be surprised, if you are just joining then all you now have is the medias view. 4 women lining up asl to accuse RB of something which is now muddled with time, there will be no court case, they are trying to cancel him, they want him gone. You know he had a successful career before courting the populists over Covid? That’s why I laughed when someone earlier said that the so called ‘woke left’ are gunning for him. He’s literally part of the ‘woke left’ and anyone who thinks otherwise has never actually listened to his politics. " Yes he is left, that's his preference. Think the last thing I saw him in was Death on the Nile. | |||

"Amber Heard destroyed Jonny Depps career by making false allegations about him which were proven here in Britian but disproved in the USA. Since this case AH has been accused of lying to the Australian government, has had allegations made against her from a former lover and had to pay JD millions of dollars. Now before all of this and the me-to movement, in the USA it was suggested that a women always be believed when they claim assault or sexual assault not questioned. AH and JD case blew that suggestion out of the water." I believe that victims should be listened to, do you not? Victims may be male or female. JD was the victim of abuse in that relationship. | |||

Sexual assault is serious and smiling & accepting a kiss in celebration is not Sexual assault but I appreciate vulchers want blood. I,m happy I,m right so won't play ping pong. | |||

"Don't believe what the media says! I Someone is Innocent until proven guilty. Innocent until proven otherwise, yes. But the media are reporting what the women are saying. That's quite an important distinction. True! But still not found guilty so it's all still gossip. Gossip to some, allegations to others. Assuming it goes further, he'll have his chance to defend himself. I'm not saying he's guilty of anything - time will tell - but dismissing a r*pe allegation as 'gossip' feels inappropriate to me." If its r*pe allegations they should have reported it police already. Outing it into the media without any formal allegation stinks of 'gossip'. | |||
