It's our obsession with celebrity and success, we are so impressionable and will always be outsmarted by the con artist.
And with the help of social media, we are even more easily brainwashed by the loud narcissistic celebrity. So many loud mouths out there now just screaming. Listen to me! Look at me! I have a lot to say and it’s better than what everyone else has to say! “They’re” out to get me!! In the meantime, real human connection and empathy are dying. Really scary.
@@Kdizzy Exactly. Taylor Swift (America's Sweetheart) is no more or less an absolute narcissist than Russell Brand is. People are generally willing to throw a Kanye or Russell under the bus, so they can keep all their other beloved "beautiful people" and believe, "NO NO NO! THIS ONE REALLY IS A WONDERFUL PERSON!"
In my 50 years I'm yet to see a celebrity or media person who's not a narcissistic pyscopath . But doesn't mean he's guilty in anyway for these crimes
He didnt' say Brand was guilty. He said we need to listen to the accusations.
he didnt say that he said he was guilty @@thomasandrewclifford
...or that he isn't.
YEP!
Allow me to introduce you to Keanu Reeves
All these people diagnosing him without any medical qualifications to do so!
Blind Freddy can see the drugs have cooked his brain 😂😂
This is someone who knew him personally. It’s called having an educated opinion
Oh he's always been one. You've been groomed by him if you can't see it.
Absolutely, without any of the necessary qualifications.
@@TheForestFamilyIt's called from someone who clearly doesn't have a relationship anymore for some reason or another but with an axe to grind. Not really the best people to ask for a character reference. It will always be negative.
I just love the frankness and straight forward and matter of fact nature of Scots. I just love it. He doesn't beat around the bush lol
Yeh, he's the editor of the "Scottish" Sun, so I'd venture facts don't always concern him too much.
Come to think of it, why didn't the tabloids do the investigative work and expose Brand for the vile predator he is? This guy had inside knowledge.
The Sun, Daily Mail, etc. are linking the BBC to Brand "getting away with it," referencing back to Savile's reign of terror. Yet while they can sniff a pair of dropped knickers if it's a Premier footballer or reality star, none of them exposed the supposedly open secret around Savile. Nor, for that matter, did the Security Services, despite his closeness to both the Prime Minister of the day (Thatcher) and the Heir to the Throne, now King Charles III.
Moral high ground is not credible from any tabloid tatler, Scottish or not - and I say that as a Glaswegian born and bred.
It's how we roll. Hat off to Gordon, Daniel Sloss and Connor Burns.
Nish Kumar, Kate Smurthwaite and others have pointed out that Brand's behaviour was widely discussed amongst comedians for years. The BBC clearly knew of allegations years ago and took no action - shame on the senior management team.
@@drewcampbell8555 Well said sir. Spot on. Who in their right mind is going to believe anything a journalist says on anything.
Russell kicked his dog down the stairs when he was young. It's in his own words how he purposely treated his dog sadisticly. Wouldn't surprise me at all that he's a sociopath.
Yet became vegetarian when 14yo and vegan since 2017..
I keep thinking back to the way he told that story. Should have been an out for us all and yet we kept listening.
there are a lot of bad people on a vegan diet, those two things are not mutually exclusive.
@@lesleysimon8574likely for attention
It’s horrendous … even I I hadn’t heard of the assault allegations, this would have been a red warning light for me.
Lol is it supposed to be a surprise that Brand is a sociopathic narcissist? Have you all seen Russell Brand?? Duh.
There is a substantial portion of the general population who may be clinically classed as sociopathic and psychopathic, many of the leaders in business, politics and beyond one of the two, in the end, we all have agency over our actions, it's one thing to have the impulse driven by a pathology, it's a whole other to act repeatedly on them (allegedly).
The dysfunctional system we live under (neoliberalism) not only encourages these type of characteristics and behaviours, it rewards them.
I'm not gonna speak of the allegations, that is something that will have to be proven or litigated later, but Brand has always given off groomer vibes. That I have no difficulty believing in 🤣
Around 5% are sociopaths, and 1% are psychopaths. A lot of people, due to the size of our population. But actually only around 6 in 100 people jointly get it into your categorisation.
@@davidrussell7105 it feels like it could be a lot more than that.
My theory is that the hyper-individualised culture that has taken hold over the past 40 years since Thatcher and Reagan has increased the types of behaviours associated with those personality disorders.
The reality is, most people who act out of their sociopath/ psychopathy can't do anything about it. If someone reasonably had a choice, they would not do it. Naturally.
It’s so refreshing to hear someone say…this story is not about the demonetising or potentially “cancelling” of RB, but it is about the allegations of abuse of young women! Thank you!
@@BrianBadondebowl I care about the women, not about Russell
@@BrianBadondebowl You haven't read the Times report have you?
@BrianBadondebowl You could say the same thing about Jimmy Savile. Use your common sense.
@@topologyrobright. Believe all women. False allegations never happen. Neutral is the only logical and fair position to take atm
This is my very small insight after I very briefly interacted with him...I was a fan of Brand when he was doing "left" politics. I went to see him at a gig and not long after he had spoken to a woman in the audience, who confirmed they had slept with him but Brand could not remember her, you could go up to meet him at the interval. I was the last person to see him and he changed when he saw me and his eyes glazed over like those ladies said and he looked over my head and spoke very slowly like in a trance. I felt the most peculiar feeling because he had been very animated with the other women, hugging them etc. I was just puzzled and apologised and he said slowly "no, is alright, its the flash" (I was taking pics at the time) but he was not looking at me at all when speaking, then he just left without saying anything and got back on stage and carried on as normal. I never watched any of his stuff after that, that one interaction left me feeling something very strange, call it intuition I suppose.
"call it" you're reading too much into it.
Could be, but I wouldn’t like meeting the guy either. Mostly cuz he’s arrogant and obnoxious. I think that would make me feel weird, too. 👍
All narcissists are like that. They have their "ON" persona where they're the life of the party, but as soon as they don't want to keep that facade up, it will drop and their eyes will go dark.
It's a frightening thought, but 99% of celebrities are exactly the same if you knew them behind closed doors. Taylor Swift, Beyonce, etc. Anyone you can think of who is beloved in the eyes of the public. I just think Russell has always been too manic and flawed to hide it as well as the others do.
@@michaelpalmer5351 Thank you for this very interesting and detailed comment that is exactly what happened. I very much appreciate your insight and wisdom.
@@sosoo000 You're welcome, my friend! Thank you for your kind words and this nice interaction. :)
I'm not in any way Brand's fan, I never was, in fact, I never watched his stand-up or even one of his TH-cam videos from start to finish, nor even one of his movies, I just have vague knowledge about him like about any other celeb but as a person suffering from bipolar depression, I can't stand how you label him here. To diagnose him publicly when it comes to his mental health feels very wrong to me. In fact, words such as psychopath and narcissist are thrown around too much nowadays, without any deeper thought, just because people can point out a bunch of cliches.
Labeling strangers or people we only know through the media, or even who were our friends once (as this guy here was with Brand) as psychopaths or narcissists in public, when we are not doctors, not a psychiatrist, and we don't have a background in the mental health field at all, is a very dangerous thing to do and simply wrong. The actual, professional psychiatrists say so. It's very dangerous, it has nothing to do with an accurate diagnosis, and it needs to stop!
No matter how much you dislike the person etc., the only competent people to diagnose him/her are professionals who would have therapy with him/her. So now in Brand's case, there are all kinds of people who know him and who don't know him, jumping on the bandwagon because the case has blown up in the media, and everyone wants to be on the money train, of course, because clicks and views matter, right? So I dislike how you label him here, in this clip.
You can describe his behaviors as bad and disgusting because you can watch old clips and you see how he behaved, but diagnosing him as a psychopath is nonsense. According to online 'experts', all celebs are psychos which is ridiculous. Yes, many leaders or famous people have various traits that seem psychopathic, but that doesn't mean anything as most people have these traits, actually. We all have darker sides and we are all complex. You need a lot more than this to be really, accurately, diagnosed as a psychopath or sociopath.
I agree with you completely.
I agree with you completely.
Wow Sooo Noble, you just kick a man while he is down. Can you at least wait for his trial to start before breaking out the torches and pitchforks?
Brand is a powerful figure in his industry. Of late, also has gathered an army of fans who believe his every word and are ready to make life miserable (or worse?) for those who challenge their hero.
It is you who sees him that way and not the facts.
Right, and the MSM never lies and is honest 100% of the time. Don't forget your 15th booster random user!
A powerful figure in his industry? He's been in a handful of semi-decent movies. What drugs are you on? If you said this Harvey Weinstein you'd be believable, but he's a B list actor at best.
@@imiparerau432He has 6m subscribing to the latest conspiracy grift. They belieeeeeeve
@@imiparerau432 someone speaking sense!! Outside of the UK most people have barely heard of him, let alone his TH-cam channel!
I worry the talk of sociopathy, narcissism, etc is just going to get in the way of what really matters: What is it he did to women, will it become a criminal matter and did figures within the industry know he did those things?
The more successful anyone is within their field, the more signs there will be of sociopathy. And that even includes journalism! It ends up just obfuscating the main issue.
Absolutely right. 99% of every celebrity our culture has ever known also has narcissistic personality disorder. If we tar Brand with this brush and say "HE'S EVIL", then we might as well do it to all of them.
Agreed. But ours is a society that prefers prurience over justice. The former is what these hacks peddle in.
@@nicholasjohnferriman8283 Right on!
Smart, if you are so concerned about these alleged assaults on young women, and you knew him so well, then why didn't you say anything before
He said brand was a sociopath. He never said he knew brand was sexually assaulting women.
People with power can intimidate other people into silence, it’s not as easy as you think to raise these issues without legal, financial or career devastating repercussions. One woman did report an attack to the PR company she was working for, the next thing she got was a letter from Brands lawyer threatening legal action.
@@southlondon86 Would you know if a friend of yours was doing this. I would. Be honest, Smarts playing along and trying to make a name. The media is a cesspit
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 People are also attracted to people with power. The word groupie springs to mind
@@christophercurtis2893 No I wouldn’t. Sir it’s very unlikely that people who sexually assault brag about it.
It’s evident he bullies - the so called command of language is no more than a tool of power and purposely excluding. Look at some of the comedy he’s done and some of the clips. There’s an intense need to be the centre of attention, to control and to be liked. He’s deeply unpleasant and needs to be assessed for who really is. He’s a mental health patient who happens to have been rewarded for his dangerous to others behaviour
99% of every celebrity we've even known is also a raging narcissist. They just hide it from the public. Pick anybody from the last 100 years that was a certain country's "sweetheart" (Taylor Swift, for example) or was seen as whiter than white in the eyes of the population - and behind closed doors, I bet they were a coldhearted egomaniac. That's why these people get into showbiz in the first place.
Brand's misuse of language is jocular. "rather baroque attack" is a recent example, is that being forced to listen to Bach at a horrendous volume? Stewart Lee's take on Brand's language shows pin-point accuracy.
@@bmill7353 Stewart Lee, too, is a narcissist.
@@bmill7353 that recent example was from his recent TH-cam video re allegations. Even that video showed a large amount of cowardice blaming ‘mainstream media’. He’s got no real courage and creating closed mental loops - a classic tactic by people like Brand showed how much of a manipulative personality was
@@thejfg7741 True. I know Russel Brand is way too smart to believe his own conspiracy theory content. He just figured there's an audience for it. Definitely very coward of him to still be pandering to that part of his audience and blaming msm.
Honest guy. Plenty of people will attack GS for saying this and given some of the comments on US websites in particular, many among his legion of fans, disciples or whatever his 'wakening wonders' would quite like to do this guy physical harm.
Why didn't he say anything before
@@christophercurtis2893another fake woke, these allegations been out before for decade and plus. You just haven't been paying attention..
@@christophercurtis2893Because he's an opportunist. Never amounted to much but is attempting to utilise his previous relationship for 5 minutes of fame.
Great timing though
@@christophercurtis2893 He didn't have cause to talk about his personal relationship with a former friend until there was cause to bring it up. The allegations and the documentary are that moment. This case needs to go to court. Simple as that.
Initially I was shocked by all this but thats because I never really watched him. But looking back at what iv been watching and heard him say about his actions or women, it really leaves him in a very difficult situation to be believed.
Let's let the police and courts do their thing before we talk too much about stuff we were not involved in.
Yeah, we don't need to judge the guy on whether or not he is guilty of what's being accused, but we can have our current opinions about based on what we do know of him. And what I know of him is that he's always given off groomer vibes 😂
These Chads are attacking the dude like high school girls, gossiping durango recess.
It's too late for the courts. The media involved have gone for profit and not for justice by publishing the uncorroborated accounts of Brand's accusers rather than hand these to the police. How can he expect to get a fair trial? He can't. This is trial by media. Public opinion has the choice of either accepting the narrative being spun or rejecting the media lies. Poor choice but the media deliberately queeried the pitch.
He says he was his friend and can't reference a single time he called him out. What a man.
Probably just has moved on mate, our brain likes to remove traumatic memories, “what a man” pfft who are you to say. We’re all the same.
Jimmy Saville was also a "popular hero" until found out.
Saville was never found out, people seem to think you can condemn someone without evidence.
@@Dragonaut111 Did you even read the Times report, with all its evidence?
What happened to the stories about Nick Cohen and much more recently, and disturbingly, the George Osborne thing, involving a 16 yo girl. Brushed under the carpet and all very hush hush.
I hadn't even heard about Nick Cohen until I read this comment. It's insane that this has been happening at the same time.
Gordon is correct that senior people did not want to have difficult conversations with Russell and those close to him had to have them. That has been confirmed by a number of sources over the years.
What troubles me is the hypocritical nature of these comments. Smart would champion russell and put him up on the stage, to then chop him down. He's a journo, and always will be
"Ex-friend" gives Brand a clinical mental health diagnosis? Okay, we'll pass over that.
"We all knew" is a refrain I keep hearing. But you said nothing at the time. However, now there's an opportunity for a bit of exposure, everyone is coming out of the woodwork... including nobody MPs (Dinenage).
A plague on all your houses.
Ex "friend"
@@sen7706 Hmmm. I wonder which of them was the bigger psychopath?
Pretty sure that why he doesn't get Hollywood roles anymore, besides voice acting. People won't work with creepers.
odd to see an enemy of democracy stating how proud he was to work for murdoch... most of them have enough of a sense of shame to never boast about working for democracy's biggest media opponent!
That back combed hair is terrifying dude😂
Ex-friend with no clinical psychology experience or qualifications tells us Brand's a psychopath. What an expert.
Well if she doesn't know noone does. Come on wake up!
He nobbed his girl friend and she loved it.
Russell brand that is.
Narcissists and sociopaths have disorders with relationships. The people closest to them are the best judges.
@@missmapleleaf No they aren't. Ask any professional in the field of psychiatry. Only professionals who would have therapy with Brand can diagnose him.
So why did you not speak up years ago?
Speak up about what? Russel being a narcissist? What’s the number for the narcissist police?
The fact that a number of people are shocked and that it's only coming to light about Brands predatory , intimidating and bullying behaviour really has my head shaking in some sort of disbelief........I mean c'mon his behaviour was plain for all to see and he didn't hide it .
And yes it says a lot about our attitudes etc as a supposed decent civilised society.........there again they voted for brexit and de pfeffel so the warning signs were there .
Be it isn't a warning sign. But the rest after watching his vids really don't help his defence. What he said about women in general.
I'm more of a type of person who says, let's let the police and courts do their thing before we attack a potentially innocent man, having learnt a lot from history of false accusations towards men, but jesus, when I heard what he's been saying since, even I was like, 'mate, this one even I can't say, let's wait'
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Brexit simply leaving the European Union? What exactly is so heinous about that?
Why doesn’t he just sue for defamation of character if he is innocent
You don't have to be a psychologist or any other kind of qualified expert to see Brand has a problem with the meaning of the word "consensual". It means all parties involved in an endeavour must willingly agree to participate , not just him.
He should have been cancelled 10 yr ago..most unfunny comedian ever too..use that word lightly too..
Thought it was just me
Nope. Obnoxious and arrogant are better descriptive words.
He has dead eyes,
Pressing topics brought to the viewer with STYLE AND INTELLIGENCEi, without the stiffiness.
Great chemistry , both presenters grest to watch and listen to.
A channel other news programs will envy.
Style and intelligence? Each to his own. Truthfulness most certainly not. These are hacks. They deal in gossip, innuendo, and narrative. Truth and justice are principles that damage their bottom line.
Always be careful who you call "friends" cause I have seen a few of them turn on you faster than you can say 15 minutes of fame.
He reminds me of the evil Rasputin
Thank you for sharing your experience of him as a psychopath and sociopath he is all of those things as you described
HG tudor has an excellent series on him
Who is this guy, and why does he pretend to be a doctor?
Maybe an over exaggeration (based on trauma) and you reading into the clinical terms, but you can research and understand what a narcissist / socialpath is these days without being a fully qualified doctor
@@samwiseganj And yet anytime somebody in the comments section online tries to make their own diagnosis of a celebrity or current world event, they'll be shouted down with cries of, "YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR/PSYCHOLOGIST! UNLESS YOU ARE, YOU CANNOT SAY SUCH THINGS!" But it's OK when Gordon Smart does it because he has a microphone and a pleasing radio persona.
@@michaelpalmer5351 it’s just his opinion. Also, the guy has spent time with Russell! Narcissist are masters of disguise so maybe Gordon has just been shown the dark parts of him that he hides so well from everyone else.
I’m a fan of Russel btw haha.
@@samwiseganj I get you, Brother. I'm a fan of Ol' Russ too. My main issue is the fact that Gordon Smart is also a narcissist (as are those interviewing him, as well as almost everybody in the public-facing media) is conveniently left out of this discussion.
The scary thing about this to be honest is the complete disregard for any legal process to have taken place before destroying this person in the media world.
You think he’s destroyed? He’s never had so much press as many views, or as many followers. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
I only met him once. He was very nice to me and supportive. We talked about being in recovery and he gave me a hug and said "one day at a time, mate".
Then all of these women MUST be lying !!! 😏
Psychopaths can be nice, it's a misconception that they appear like monsters all of the time.
@@silvio.r8443 yeah….this chronic mental disorder that presents in individuals as a complete lack of empathy, intense violence and absolute instability really is t that bad at all…
@@fizzzzerrrr Not at all.. just saying, that was my only interaction with him. Which, frankly, amounts to nothing in the scheme of things.
@@silvio.r8443 It's true. Most of them end up as CEOs and bankers. They pursue power, not necessarily violent. But certainly don't care enough to climb over anyone to reach the top.
Russell Brand physically imposing? How? With the muscle mass of Mr. Bean. Jimmy Savile in his 80s were far more imposing.
It’s only in the head! What actually scared you, was mental instability combined with alleged power in entertainment!
Right! In hindsight, you can convince yourself of anything. "HE LOOMED OVER ME WITH MENACE" when really he could have just stood there.
@@michaelpalmer5351 Actually pink that Russell Brand meant to intimidate him.
But he let him!
@@MyTv- Yeah, I could totally believe that. Narcissists will use anything at their disposal to feel "big" and powerful in the world. But Smarty has probably done it to others just as many times as Brand, but maybe just in different ways (i.e. not involving height).
Gordon smart calling someone a narcissist 😂 heard it all now
Opinion of his former friend, editor of The Scottish Sun,...... 👁👄👁
And how can a scot call anybody a narcissist pyscopath seriously!!!!!
You Probably havnt had a powerful enough experience with one to understand why he can call him that. Once you do you’ll see 😊, it won’t be nice though!
Evidently this is the most important thing going on the country at the moment. 🤦♂
From the point of related to attitudes to women and investigations of violence against 50% (marginally more) of the population, yes it's quite important. Coupled with which the narrative of persecution under which some of these accusers cloak themselves helps discourage reports of such incidents. Any topic which impacts 50% of the population surely deserves a bit of airtime.
When did anyone say this was the most important thing going on right now?
@@ChrisAlbertH47 The media obviously. Do you think there's another topic getting more coverage than this?
@@3rodox I don't know about you, but there are still plenty of topics being covered in various news network. This Russell Brand story don't even make up a 10th of what is currently covered in the various channels that I look at. Many times it's just one or two videos out of dozens of others covering everything from economy, politics, war in Ukraine, North Korea and Russian alliance, etc.
Maybe you think it's _that_ prominent because that's what _you're_ focusing on.
He’s definitely a sociopath
100%
His miserable fans who think it’s all a conspiracy against an ‘anti establishment’ figure who ‘tells it like it is’ are delusional
Almost as delusional as those people who believe allegations are convictions...
I like that allegations can now be weaponized to destroy anyone.
@@josephnolan8217It’s telling that the best lawyers money can buy in the UK tried unsuccessfully attempted to put injunctions on the victims and prevent C4 airing. You think these allegations just came out of thin air 😂
@@missmapleleafIts weird that people looking to argue rather than have a discussion usually throw in a laugh emoji.
@@mainescapade wow what a sharp come back 🤭. but hey, it’s weirder that Brands agressive & expensive lawyers couldn’t come out swinging. less weird but still weird is how you think your comment was a discussion.
Oh yes sir, you are an expert and a doctor now so you are giving your expert opinion on him and your conclusion is ofcourse very valid and true. Sorry you can not diagnose someone juat like that...
Support the victim not the purported perpetrator. Narcissism and sociopathy are serious personality disorders, let's not also lump him in with people struggling with common mental health problems.
Nonsense. We have a legal system which says Brand is innocent until proven guilty. What we have here is a classic example of a hit job; character assassination. You should be condemning them not applauding them. Shame on you sir/madam/them/it!
Brand liked to kick his dog down the stares…all you need to know really.
I’ve always remembered that aswell. He told the dog to come up to him then kicked him down the stairs.
Yep. In terms of him being a psychopath, it's "no further questions from me, your honour".
Presumably the RSPCA were ok with this or this was another 'joke'?
As the great bard once wrote (allegedly - if we put the ghost writer thing aside) "many a true word is said in jest.'
It's not right, but when kids are tortured (physically, emotionally, psychologically) they'll then seek out something weaker than them to pick on: just so they can feel like they have some control in their life.
Again, I'm not saying it's right, but it's just one of those components of reality we all have to live with.
He was actually seen doing this? If so it's awfull.
Gordon “doesn’t sound so” Smart
You’ll never find a hater that’s doing better than you.
@@samwiseganj What always leaves, always stays, and when the wind is blowing it sometimes sways?

Looking after the big boss and his career
Extremely hypocritical of Emily Maitless to be sitting in on this discussion, it's been alledged that she's quite the manipuator herself !
Where are those allegations? Show me the evidence. Or are you the usual troll who throws a grenade of a sentence and then never backs it up with facts?
A manipulator is not the same, nor in the same league, as a bully, a groomer, & potential an abuser…
There are allegations from prince Andrew that she wrecked him, is that what you mean?
@@deadofthis4315 - he wrecked himself by his actions & by his answers to her questions in that interview we have all seen…tip of the iceberg…
@@raqueldobson1a manipulator is definitely worse than a potential abuser, not then an actual abuser
It was obvious that Russell Brand was Messianic.
Brand, Saville, BBC, birds of a feather
Sessions!
Brand and Savile are different case studies
He's obviously jealous?
If you’ve ever met a narcissist and sociopath, you know they only care about and think about themselves. They don’t make shows about the hypocrisy and greed of the establishment that doesn’t benefit them. The fact of the matter is, there’s been no charges or indictments of Brand, and all these instances he’s accused of are 15 years old. It seems ironic that at the time in his career where he’s found success calling out the powerful, these allegations come out…
Regardless if he’s guilty or not, that’s a really really weird and flawed argument you just made. You don’t think his show and what he talks about on his show benefits him?
Being anti-establishment and talking about all the things Russell talks about is incredibly lucrative online.
I’m sorry but what you said made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
@@kbl-fp5xv exactly!!! I believe surrounding himself with media-suspicious, conspiracy folk could do nothing else but benefit him…both in making huge money (he was never as successful as a tv personality, stand-up comedian or B list movie minor character actor as he is now (income wise)…also, I think Brand suspected that one day these women might find the bravery to talk & so he reinvented himself as some sort of New Age, reformed, hero & guru. Your first comment @ctrlaltdestroy8821 “if you’ve ever met a narcissist and sociopath, you know they only care about themselves” - that’s correct! & I believe you just described Russell Brand.
He makes the shows to make money and be the centre of attraction !
@@johnmudd6453so everyone with a TH-cam channel is a narcissistic psychopath then??
Gordon smart when did you study psychology, where did learn how to diagnose people !!
It is about young women at the time,...but it is also about assumption of innocence before due process. Since you rendering an unqualified diagnosis you are also not qualified. Brand by his own admission was drug addled addict until rehab and therapy. I would trust his doctor before I would trust you. At the same time you are giving your honest appraisal. Redemption and recovery is a very hard road. Brand's should not be paupered by government and anti-social media. Due process, due process, due process,... dude.
Amen!
"I know him well enough to tell people all the things I can, so ill get my 15 minutes." Wait.... YOU were his friend? So what does that say about you? You are JUST NOW speaking up? Hahaha naw. Go away.
Nah, I’m listening. He knows Russel better than you ever will. :)
Dude made no sense. Judging by what he said.
Russell is 6"1, not 6"3, Gordon was clearly intimidated by Russell at his 5"10 average height. probably had a run in with him at some point and got intellectually slapped down. This man has Russell as Boogeyman in his own mind.
Calling some one a psychopath with out no evidence why people are say it trail by media
Charlie Manson in eyeliner.
You need to interview HG Tudor and learn about narcissists and psychopaths.
Hmm
WHO?
77th brigade
Love how no one is reporting that connection and their work on this Russell Brand thing.
Russell is eccentric. Deal with it.
Many women are (allegedly) dealing with it. Likely for their whole lives.
Rb 70m on last tweet
If he is everything this man says ,brand is perfect for taking on the establishment .
The media need to back off and let things go forward if these alleged crimes go to court.
He does my head in for 30 seconds let alone pay 48 quid for the “privilege” for hours on end
Don't know if Russell Brand is guilty. But he has turned his life around and that takes alot of courage. There are many powerful people who should be investigated for crimes that far exceed Russell Brand's past debauchery behaviour. Pathetic, especially when the UK government is abusing their power to demonitize him before he has even stood trial. I hope he sues them to filth if proven innocent.
4,000 women in 32 years.
Surprised only four complained.
That was my first thought, too.
People keep saying this is about the women and the alleged victims, etc. And I’m thinking yeah, ok, maybe that’s true… but then again, why does it so often feel like the men targeted for cancellation are so very cherry picked? For example, where’s the investigation into all the prominent frequenters of Epstein’s island? I can think of at least a few of those guys who were mentioned on a podcast… oh wait! I heard about them from Russell Brand! Anyway, I’m sure those guys will also be seeing their days in court! For all the women they’ve harmed.
The QUEEN'S SON was literally taken to court, after being investigated NUMEROUS TIMES by various media organisations!
Brands denials are alway described as "vehement" or "strenuous" whereas any accusations are just accusations. Weak journalism.
If slags line up at his door then what is the best outcome that can happen ?
@@hopefulbutworried In that Richard Herring podcast, he immediately followed the obvious joke about what a terrible person he is because he once r*ped a woman, with "Don't worry, I k*lled her straight after."
It's a dark joke, yes, but we can't say a comedian's on-stage attempts to make audiences laugh are tantamount to evidence that can be used in a Court of Law.
RB is extremely sick in the head if he thinks saying stuff like that about women is a JOKE - fgs
“Borderline psychopath DEFINITELY a sociopath…”
Wow, bet he’s read a few books on this topic, and for those who haven’t, there IS NO clinical distinction between those two terms. 🎉
It's just a description of traits, it still makes sense
You look even sillier now because they do mean different things ay.
Establishment activists...
You were his friend, that says it all.
He couldnt be less intimidating. Built like a pencil and effeminate in a way too 🤣🤣 poor choice to hit piece him on.
