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

    I really liked him. Get him to the Greek is one of my favorite movies.

    Innocent until proven guilty, so I’m going to hold off on judgement ( not that my judgement matters). There seems to be A LOT working against him here. He’s not cancelling tours and losing his agent if people thought this was unfair - sometimes up.

    There’s a lot of rape apologists in this thread though. As much as he’s innocent before proven guilty, so is his accuser. “All it takes is an accusation to ruin a perfectly good career”. Y’all should be ashamed. That doesn’t happen without MAJOR consequences for a false accusation, as well as consequences for any media outlet that ruins the story without due diligence. It’s extremely hard to prove rape cases, meaning that if it’s gotten this far, there’s enough evidence to put it into print. This is global news, and NOBODY has come out with any compelling story as to why the accuser is lying.

    Bottom line, none of us really understand what actually happened, and everyone seems too eager to write off Brand or his accuser. Chill out. More info will come.

      I’m not a real fan of his. He seems like a pretentious twat to me. I agree though, at this point it’s allegations so could be totally false. It is shit though that things like this can tarnish someone’s name when they turn out to be not guilty.

      Reminds me of the “Stereophonics - A Thousand Trees” song
