Jemima Goldsmith accuses Russell Brand of violence and coercive control
Actor/comedian, Russell Brand, sentenced in the UK to 10.5 years in prison for rape & sexual assault. I detail the sentencing hearing & analyze Brand’s unsurprisingly close relationships w/Felon Trump & other MAGA figures like Don Jr. and Tucker Carlson. youtu.be/6iRWgURcSgg?...
Judy Weston7Republicans are perverse, even going so far as to opine on “acceptable” rape. Republicans are drawn to the likes of Brand, Josh Duggar, Tate brothers, etc—perhaps “conservative” is just a farce.
PeteO'L 🇦🇺 🇮🇪 🧷 🐸 🚲6I hate to nitpick, but shouldn't you have said "Alleged comedian"...???
reneedodson.bsky.social6Probably or the best decision to show up to your rape trial looking like a douche bag predator.
David5People who rape children and women should be in jail. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/11/the-...
twoifbyland.bsky.social3Russell Brand was convicted for something he didn't do.......... get consent. - Jimmy Carr
Scott La Rock 🇨🇦3You can stop referring to him as Actor/comedian and now simply as Rapist
MAGA Mascot Russell Brand has been found guilty of rape and 3 counts of sexual assault in London, and is sentenced to 10 years and six months. Brand appeared at an event just last month with JD Vance and RFK Jr.
beegard.bsky.social17The MAGA culture/rape culture Venn diagram is not quite just a single circle, but it’s damn close.
Rob Baron11Note: It was only after victims' allegations and criminal charges for rape were levelled at Brand that the political and Christian far right welcomed him into their flock. Just more proof of the violent misogyny that is fundamental to the principles that motivate these monstrous people.
Certified Alien7Rape is not a red line for Republicans. They don’t care about women or children being raped. They don’t even care if the victims are their family members. They only care about power and money. They only care about using power to get more money.
demrep.bsky.social5Good that he will be in the prison in UK and not US. He would have been bribed out of the prison with the pardon by paying money.

Julia Courtenay3Alexander brothers down, Russell Brand down, next, Trump and the Tate brothers.
Khashoggi's Ghost362Fancy that ... a rich white rapist is going to jail. If we could start making a habit of this, it would save a lot of women from being raped and harassed.
Lord Jeffrey of Nottingham #FBPE 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇬🇱4Look at these pics. Convicted rapists, deranged Christian fundamentalists, anti-vaxxers, creeps and losers.

The day after Russell Brand is sentenced to 10 years, the story - long rumoured and injunctioned until yesterday - about Little Britain star David Walliams has now dropped. Read with caution, it is very upsetting. We need a reckoning with 2000s comedy. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Mathew Buck37ITV/ITN have also posted their accompanying documentary as well, if you prefer watching or listening to reading. Again, major trigger warning. youtube.com/watch?v=HVATDPWtO_M
forcefemmedtoxie.bsky.social15I don't know if we will ever fully reconcile with the vile state of 2000's Britain in general. Cruel abusive comedy, the freakshow esc reality television, TV presenters encouraged to be as vile as possible. That's outside of the exploitation of murder victims in the papers (still ongoing).
Nancy4What is the obsession with under age girls? Is it because these men are so immature that they cannot attract adult women?
Union agitator3Its getting to the point where the entire media class. Tv, radio, print. All needs abolishing and starting over
imissnormal.bsky.social3Astonishing The Sun published Samantha Fox topless at 16 years old on page 3 Can we lock them up too?
Pinkie Kitsune1This shouldn’t surprise me but fuckinh hell.
daryl "brokezilla moneys zero" b 🏳️⚧️22little britain was such a vile show it only took seeing a few clips to never watch it, but it was telling how many people on the russell brand news were like, this dude next
Karen Geier21Do you know how bad of a guy you have to be to be a bad guy who works in British tv? Nearly unfathomable
BOO!👻 LAO GATE!5Where's Operation Tewtree in this bitch. Round all these monsters up.
The Film Canary5Charity shops across the nation are about to have a big check through of their kids books and DVD sections, and putting up signs saying "No we're not taking any more of those!".
Holly Baleen3Well colour me shocked. Such a vile man.
Every single person who has previously (or bafflingly, still is) speaking up in defence of Russell Brand is a transphobe. Every single one has anti-trans views. What are the chances, eh?
She Guevara35I just don't think the type of people that overlook behaviours in others because it benefits them or their cause in the moment are the best arbitrators of who poses a genuine threat to the vulnerable, and who doesn't. Enablers aren't innocent.
Samhain Sphinx 🔻2They'll always defend their own.
Bronies who worship Rarity2lately i have been reading about trans gods and deities going back to 12,000 bce. we have always been here!...not leaving. from cuceteni trypillia, to scythia, to greece.
t-w-k.bsky.social1Hey now.. don't forget they are also probably pedophiles too.
snikpoh.bsky.social1I agree with you, but it’s ironic that your avatar is a nod to a guy who persecuted gay men, including detention, hard labor, torture, & death. 🤷
Epitaph Returns1Transphobes loved Epstein too. Really shows you what kind of "people" we're dealing with here 🤔😒
Cokehead says what?? British High Court judge, Mr Justice Bennathan, mentions evidence against Russell Brand 10 times in his Sentencing Remarks. www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...
The Buzz of the Bumblebee🐝12Why can’t his heart and cocaine have that brawl it was always meant to have?
JustSomeGuy12You know who covers for rapists and sexual assaulters? Rapists and sexual assaulters.
p10Don tRump Jr. is saying because the rape happened in '99 & Brand wasn't tried for his crimes until 27 years after the fact, the case must be bogus.tRump says"No one seemed to care at the time."Is Jr. trying to "get out ahead" of possible charges against his father or just supporting a good friend?
charna2555.bsky.social9What's unfair is that it seems there's so many more criminals amongst conservatives. Especially sexual perverts
Luke Domme8Bet Don Jr never visits his pal in the slammer.
Valerie 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇺🇦6I wouldn’t say he was “one of the most famous actors in the world”. These crimes Brand committed in 1999 are about the same time Jr’s Dad was raping girls withh Epstein.
Their Devil5I have known some coke-heads. Shit, I’ve been some coke-head for a short time; and I’ll tell ya, this guy is high as shit!
nowhere 🏳️🌈2Why do rwers so often do this angle? It really brings ugly things to mind, no idea if intentional or not But it's also just disrespectful—making your audience look up your nostrils, while you literally look down your nose at them
People criticising Jemima Goldsmith or any other woman in a relationship with Brand clearly have no understanding of coercive control.
Kuntie Plopkins47Maybe stfu rather than showing your ignorance
Mike Wilson16There's a valuable TED talk about abusive relationships by a woman who escaped. She said she didn't escape earlier because she didn't realise she was in an abusive relationship. Apparently, this is common among people in such relationships.
Claire S (UK not USA)14Did you see the statement she issued yesterday about this incident, it's not what we firsf thought if her statement is true. There's only one person to blame for Brand and that's Brand.
Ellie chats & rants9This! All day long, this. Ffs this attitude against women who were/are with an abuser needs to stop. It’s no better than the other rape myths banded about, like the excuses used by Brands KC- you are still blaming the victim!
Dennis4Some are very quick to judge, with little or no experience of reality
Ilikecaketoo (UK)3I thought there must have been more to her story. Said as much yesterday. He groomed and manipulated not only the women he sexually assaulted and discarded, but also the high profile ones he chose to have a ‘relationship’ with.

Lazylizzie7Isn’t she the one who helped get a lifelong injunction against another of his victims? Maybe she should direct some funding to getting that revoked.
Luthen Rael Fan Club President1I'm loving how you can see the depths of depression and angst in Brand's face in the courtroom sketch
Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin114People Magazine continuing to pick up where Teen Vogue left off. Well done.
Mere Smith85“why did they wait” maybe because it took 30 years to put this predator in jail
Hal 100008As always, it's not he said/she said. It's he said/she said she said she said she said she said she said she said ...
robmannion.bsky.social3I would like to report to the police about him masquerading as a comedian
Vanessa Feltz has described her horror at a 2006 TV interview in which Russell Brand repeatedly asked whether he could sleep with her teenage daughters. Her youngest was 15.
adgecutler.bsky.social12And yet they still queued up to get him on their talk shows. When a sexual predator tells you he is a sexual predator, belive him.
The Daily Britain10The footage has resurfaced following Brand's conviction and 10-year-and-six-month prison sentence for rape and sexual assault.
Everyone knew he was a sleeze bag at the very least.
Mike hunt 8485✊2They can be as upset as they like … just as with savvile loads of them knew and done f all …
Dave Bailey1Why wait 20 years or however long to put this stuff out there, predator's need exposing as early as possible, no matter what their perceived power.
The only appropriate reaction to having latched onto Russell Brand, having been photographed with him, been interviewed by him, endorsed by him etc is to say “yes, that was awful, a horrible lapse in judgment and I wish I hadn’t done that.”
Paul Bernal22We *all* knew Russell Brand was a sleazy creep and a misogynist long before then. That should have been enough.
Jill Hayward4You didn't need to 'search' for anything. Even if his every encounter had been consensual, his awful attitude to women was self-proclaimed and visible from space.
Cab Davidson3There's a cut off where it was obvious something was very wrong with Brand. For me it was the Andrew Sachs/Georgina Baillie thing. Anyone associating with him after that really should have known better.
Tim Burnett2The same could be said of Thatcher with Savile, and so many other famous people who have been used to promote politicians and vice versa. Stuff does come out after the event. It's how they respond when the information emerges that becomes significant.
Paul Tyreman 〓〓2There will be many people in everyday jobs with an ex-colleague they wish they could have spent less time with. A better set of examples from the well-known people would give them more confidence in future to disassociate from "that bloke" before he crosses the line. Who knows? He might notice>
Ianrobo1also an interview is hardly the worse thing, when senior politicians backed him very recently ... so what you say is spot on .. no excuses for anyone post covid really ?
Female work colleagues "on the fence" about Russell Brand. It's not even 9.15 and I'm fuming
Koningwoning4Impaled on the fence I guess.....
Mr Kindness3Best respond with this one question, “What socials do you frequent?”
Henry Foxon3What's there to be on the fence about?
Politics and Health 🗳️ 🩺2Same as with Johnny Depp.
JohnnyD2Clearly haven’t read the details of his crimes…
Inflatable Plant2Hey yeah rape is fine if he says new age woo before and after it and makes me feel special for 0.5 seconds
Statement by @jemimakhan.bsky.social which I would urge everyone to read. x.com/Jemima_Khan/...
UBF riccardo10I am interested in seeing what she has to say, but I'm not diving into X to do so.
Harry Pricker1Maybe I’m just cynical but would she have released this statement if she wasn’t receiving criticism for siding with Brand and taken out an injunction against a woman? Mentioning it in her statement makes me even more sceptical about her motives.
Matt2Anyone whining in the replies about this being on X I am muting you.
Matt2Some pushback on this (she's still a bitch for the SLAPP) but that's a problem with the law, not Jemima Khan. If Khan's story is correct then she isn't obliged - or likely - to extend any courtesy to someone who has been extremely abusive.
Mrs Quent2Ooft. I mean… right, okay. This is all pretty ghastly and I hope she’s doing okay.
people who defend Russell Brand or criticize his conviction are not safe people we should believe them when they show us who they are
aslynn is autistic actually 🪴25you can criticize the sentencing 10 years is not a lot of time you can criticize carceral systems abolition is the way but please notice the people around you who minimize the violent acts he committed, the abuse perpetrated, and the need for dire consequences take notice they're not safe people
Martha Crawford7good lord. any Brand stans should be blocked on sight.
Dad 4 Ever1I think he deserved a longer sentence considering all the evidence.
Whitney would prefer not to (she/elle/ella/sie)1I took a peek at his Instagram account and almost 🤮 all over again. He’s got so much unhinged ableist pseudoscience evangelical 💩. Oh and he’s a still a convicted 🍇ist. Which we will remind people of in 10 years.
