Women’s charity that the actor-comedian raised funds for also cuts ties: “We are deeply saddened and upset by the stories”

There was previously discussion about Russell Brand denying allegations that were to be shown in a TV documentary, and now things are developing.

    this guy is such a fucking cunt I literally felt like curb stomping him when I watched some of his videos regarding covid and the invasion of Ukraine, he is just so fucking stupid and he has no idea, same as Joe Rogan, well maybe even worse, more on the level of Peterson.

    blamed the invasion of Ukraine on the West, because5if Ukraine opened it’s market to foreign investment so of course Russia had to invade, what an absolute wanker.

      Look up “the wellness to fascism pipeline”. Brand is the poster child of someone who had very left leaning politics, became interested in self help and natural living, fell down the anti-vax rabbit hole, and is now a conservative grifter. He realized that he wasn’t getting more popular over time doing comedy, so he gravitated towards being a misinformation node.

        So many assholes whose relevance is slipping do this. How many washed up stars continually thrust themselves into our consciousness because this is the one thing that gets a reaction from people these days?

        Kevin Sorbo, The Nuge, Morrissey…

          Crowder, Shapiro, Owens, Walsh, Dore, the token gay dude who was on Young Turks. All failed at mainstream entertainment careers. It ain’t a coincidence these people are on billionaire payrolls. They were always narcissists.

              I don’t understand Glenn Greenwald. I first discovered him when he was writing for the Guardian in the UK. He was absolutely calling out fascist bullshit in the U.S., like deploying cops in schools. That was early 2000s I think? Then later I saw Greenwald writing about Trump in vague terms which I could not understand, except that he did not seem to be saying bad things about Trump. There was also the story of The Intercept which Greenwald founded but now seems to hate, I didn’t follow that closely enough to understand what went on. I don’t get him anymore.
