Szilvia Berki was unable to even go to the police to report her sexual assault unless she herself wanted to end up in jail.

Brand and his than partner Jemima Goldsmith claimed she caused them anxiety and distress.

She never went to a full trial - only a summary judgment, never had a lawyer, never got to defend herself and was silenced for life

It’s crazy to me how some people can tell a person is a massive piece of shit from 20 miles away, but others can’t, or just don’t care to (which says a lot about them). Brand has given me bad vibes from the moment I even saw his face years ago. I knew it was only a matter of time before we found out he was a gross parasite.

The one thing I didn’t have on my bingo card was him trying to hide behind Christian nationalism like a fucking loser.

How any judge could pass this and be able to sleep at night is beyond me.

Edit: This one seems to be hurting some people’s feelings. It’s funny watching folks tell on themselves. Cope and seethe.

    It will forever be in my memory how I told a girl "your brother looks like he plays CS2, football, and is either in the police or military" and she laughed histerically, because apparently I nailed all FOUR

    Hell yeah, intuition! People seem to think it’s being judgmental or making assumptions, but it’s not. I’ve always been quiet and observant. This is the byproduct of that. I read body language, things they say, etc.

    Nothing wrong with intuition. I think it's saved my life more than once. It's also been pretty wrong more than a couple of times. The problem with intuition is if you think "I'm feeling something about this" is some kind of perfect system.

    It’s true, especially of America. YouTube streamers like Asmongold, for example. That dude has a massive following and he’s one of the worst people I’ve ever seen. He digs his heels in and refuses to apologize for absolutely terrible takes, like saying that Palestinians are an inferior culture, and making jokes about women being in the kitchen.

    It’s like the further away from reality these people float, the more disconnected and crass their opinions get. It all reeks of unhappiness and insecurity.

    Honestly I'm still genuinely upset that he turned out this way. I only know him from Bedtime Stories and Arthur and in both cases I thought he was a delightful goof and solid comedic personality. Unfortunately, he's also a rapist so he goes in the pyre with the test of them.

    im sure you are wrong about many many more people that you'll never admit too.

    how about just shut the fuck up with stereotyping unless you yourself want to be stereotyped?

    im pre empting your reply with a block.
