British comedian Russell Brand has posted a video denying “serious criminal allegations” set to be made against him in an upcoming television program.

“But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute,” Brand said.

"These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies.

"And as I’ve written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual.

ruh roh, Russell.

    During the last 5 years Brand has fallen gradually into a QAnon-esque rabbit hole, and all this new-age-spirituality stuff has been the gateway.

      New age spirituality is basically just narcissism and psychopathy.

      It’s funny too when people use it as a one up or to feel like they have the upper hand. It’s like seeing a cracked out person talking to themselves and twitching.

      He’s bipolar and has legit mental illness; the same as Musk. Both of them would do less harm to society if they were on effective meds.

        Yeah, I take issue with your point. Mental illness doesn’t make a person dangerous to society automatically. Mental illness makes a person much more likely to be a victim of abuse rather than the perpetrator.

    I love how he’s claiming that he’s being silenced yet he hasn’t said anything worth listening to since he’s because a rich elite himself.

      Who the fuck is silencing him? He was on all the UK shows a few years ago and eventually it was tanking the ratings.

      Nobody is stopping him from saying whatever he wants. I just don’t care about his weird ramblings. If he’s on TV I am not watching.

      Not being given a soapbox does not equate to being silenced.
