Pretending to be a christian for the last year was very productive Russel. Time well spent. Looks like you will have time to find that favorite bible verse.

    Fun fact: Russell Brand was baptised by Best Grylls in the Thames.

    Knowing the water quality is the Thames...

    Can't believe that once in my naive teenage years I liked this guy. Thankfully it didn't take me long to see through his bullshit. He's a piece of shit.

    I'm not familiar with him, what was the appeal?

    Back in the 2000s he kind of had a reputation as a "ladies man" who was confident, funny, and charming and who could sleep with any woman he wanted. At least, that was the perception I and many other people at the time had of him. Although even then there were real ones who seen straight through his act.

    Naturally, as a teenage boy I wanted to be just like him and I looked up to him as a blueprint for how to be desirable to women. It's a good thing that after a couple of years I began to see him for what he was and is. First and foremost a predator, but also a grifter and a liar.

    More like Johnny Depp wannabe. Different vibes. He did end up joining the alt right circuit, but that was more the conspiracy side and through rogan. He leaned full on into the new-age-Jesus aesthetic at some point, so the fascist adjacent crystal mommy to anti-vax pipeline seemed like a layup i Imagine

    So yeah, comparable but a different type of grifter

    He looks like the “before meth” picture to Asmongold’s “after meth”

    If only he had found that passage in Isaiah

    “I hope this conviction sends a clear message that no one is above the law, no matter how famous or powerful they may be.”

    Well, as long as the US has a convicted felon and known pedo as their president, this sounds hollow.

    There is still good news in these humorless times.

  • I wonder if he flipped through his bible that he never read during the verdict.

    I think its weird to know Katy Perry loved and married and divorced a rapist.

    it was like 4 days and she said he mostly avoided her that time. it sounds like he just wasn't ready to pretend to be married while seeking victims.

    I guess it was a little over a year, but she did say he was largely absent, and when he wasn't he was very controlling and seemed deeply insecure, she assumed about her success, but seeing his pattern of behavior as a serial rapist and sexual abuser, to me it sounds a lot more like he couldn't balance his predatory nature and behavior in a sham marriage to make him look less threatening to afford him more credibility against victims, serial rapists and abusers have been shown to be very clearly aware and willing to plan their lives around access to victims and safety from victims like seeking access to fields like medicine or education to gain access to victims, or law enforcement or religion to shield them from victims accusations.

    Here's hoping his victims find some peace and satisfaction from the verdict.

    Also, fuck, he has three kids (2, 6 and 8) and they're losing their papa. I gotta say, my heart goes out to them - what a fucking shame for them.

    In fairness though, their papa is Russell Brand. It could be worse.

    Saw this posted by a left wing news channel on YouTube and made the mistake of reading the comments...
    Of course many just like here, but so many from maga nuts etc. about how "he did this when he was left wing" etc.

    The nice touch is that he's getting sentenced on Monday and being remanded over the weekend!

    That sort of fucks up his podcast plans!
