Six more women accuse Russell Brand after his sentencing
I don't understand why I keep seeing reports on 'How Russell Brand will be feeling in prison right now.' I don't care. Nobody should care. I'd rather read 'how the victims feel now', if I ever need to read another word related to the spidery, grifting rapist.
I am a vengeful woman, I like to know he's suffering. I also wish ill on him and his kind. But I do believe you have a point. How he feels really doesn't matter and people like myself, genuinely, don't need to know. It isn't important His victims, being mostly anonymous, can't talk openly. 😢
Unless it's 'sore' and 'walking a bit funny'.
I assume the women he attacked, molested, and raped are feeling relieved and naturally proud of their own courage. But they can't be named, identified, or interviewed. So they're relieved and proud in private. Which is as it should be. And they're probably somewhat re-triggered. So fuck off.
I kinda hope he... errrr, gains "lived experience" of the crimes he has perpetrated from the victims' perspective
Why begrudge people a moment of schadenfreude? Uncharitable!
Unfortunately this has been the approach of the press for centuries! 😡
No Spectator, there is not a political element to Russell Brand's downfall. It is not a social media frenzy. It is the law.
it somewhat implies that the first metoo movement was political, like they went after harvey weinstein because he knew The Truth
Investigate any journalist who publishes articles like this. Anyone who doesn't want justice for sexual crimes is suspect.
And btw - yes, yes we do.
I’m old enough to remember when the political right presented themselves as the guardians of law and order. Now… they seem a little more selective.
The Spectator is a disgrace and has been for some time me now. Utterly disgusting reactionary garbag.
Didn't one of their former editors paw women who sat next him at Spectator lunches? That Spectator?
A ten-year sentence for rape and sexual assaults against multiple victims, and the Spectator decides it's time to scold the victims. Burn it all down.
Imagine being a human being and writing "We don't need another #MeToo moment"
The only difference between clicking on this piece and stepping in a real, physical dogshit in the street is that the dog doesn't profit from your anger and revulsion
They’ve used a lot of words here for “check my hard drive.”
And there it is: the worst take on the Internet right now, and of course it comes from The Spectator, one of the most toxic of the right wing rags.

The most powerful people in both the UK and the US are pro-rape. @kattenbarge.bsky.social
Nigel Farage has spent the week attacking Labour for “cosying up” to Russell Brand. Unfortunately for Farage, there's footage of him doing something rather similar, and the timing is considerably worse.
The Reform UK leader appeared on Brand's American podcast in July 2024, nine months after police launched an investigation into allegations of sexual assault. Farage was already aware of the allegations because he'd discussed them on GB News the previous year.
He doesnt look like he doesnt want to be there...
The first time I’ve had an op-ed published since late 2023. The Herald asked me for my reckons on #RussellBrand and #DavidWalliams .. specifically, whether famous people getting nicked brings survivors forward. Have a read 😘 (link below)
Just in case you haven't seen it the interview with Lucy Beaumont is worth watching. If she loses her career over this it would be tragic as aside from her bravery she is actually very funny unlike the despicable Walliams.
Surely nobody is surprised by either? Surely? Anyone who watched Walliams judging on BGT must have seen all the inappropriate comments on contestant clothing, bodies, drooling over young people. It was gross.
Once again it falls on women to provide properly thoughtful, intelligent and genuinely helpful commentary for a society that appears to have the memory of a particularly malevolent goldfish (see excellent article, with embedded links in thread below) tika.org.nz
An ‘opinion’ everyone, in particular young men, should be exposed to. #nzpol #HerVoiceMatters
