Russell Brand should have just been censored from the start. For being a knob.

Russell's turn to the far right is pretty much a symbiotic relationship. People are starved for a comedian like him to support their views and he in turn is an attention whore above all else. I remember listening to his Radio 2 show where he was the biggest anarchist, socialist, anti monarchist etc. Now his views are the complete opposite it seems, should tell you all you need to know. He's found an audience prepared to herald him as a hero and champion of free speech and its gone straight to his head he will say any shite. His video was removed by YouTube for false anti vax info and he's claiming it to be censorship. He's one of those twats.

Russe Brand was always a giant arsehole, as far as I ever saw. There’s really no difference what team he claims to bat for, they always find their people.

He is, and always has been, a massive C***. Absolute scum. I won't repeat the stories a very close friend of mine shared with me of her experiences working with him, but when he said he had nothing to apologise for during the height of the Me Too movement, he was lying out of his fucking arse. Of course it's possible he genuinely thinks his behaviour was fine, as he's a total narcissist, but either way he's, well, a massive C***.

I did like the joke he made getting grief off people for Andrew Sachs. "Dear Russell Brand, I can't believe you picked on him just because he's Spanish"

I don’t think anyone would be the least bit surprised if Brand was Me Too’d right up to the top of his head

Yeah, he's been open about his sex addiction in the past. If it's actual addiction and not just "I like sex," (who doesn't?) I don't think it comes without harassment. And he's always had a messiah complex as well. He's even made jokes comparing himself to Jesus.

Hasn't he pretty much admitted it and declared himself a sex addict, to the point he needed professional help*?
*By professional help I mean the type of help that celebrities get when they can't control their vices. The normal person's equivalent is called prison.

Sex addiction doesn't really exist. It's wanking addiction and he just happens to be famous and fanciable. People are a lot less forgiving of wanking addiction though.
And before anyone gets arsey, I've read up on it and the addiction seems to be to the arousal and orgasm, etc. There's plenty of non famous people out there who need to have a wank 5 times a day for legit addiction reasons.

I don't know if he got help like he did for drug and alcohol addiction but it's always been clear that he is a chameleon like personality and will change himself to match the person/people who show him favourable attention.

He's denied having ever sexually harassed people. There's nothing wrong with having a strong desire for sexual contact, and if you can fulfil it then all the luck to you. If you are abusing your position of power, sexually harassing people, or worse, you can fuck right off and no amount of blaming it on an addiction is acceptable.

It's crazy that he was practically an A-list celeb at one point.
I remember loads of people at uni fancying him and thinking 'WTF, really, he's a bellend'.

I can't pay attention to anything she says because I just find myself singing Firestarter but with her name.

I will now be unable to read anything from her without smiling, instead of feeling depressed. Thank you. Having said that, it is hard to read that thread without thinking it must be a parody account.

I’m curious where you read up on this and how the author got that detail from famous people.

Maya Forstater is having a Very Normal One on Twitter. Listen, it’s important that we understand that fictional entities from other planets should have a gender, ok? And that we should definitely be informed about it’s gestational habits.

I wonder if she gets similarly outraged at Alien, given they don’t gender the xenomorph and there’s no obvious genitals on that chitinous exterior.

I'm quite furious that's she's trying to obfuscate the truth behind whether or not Spotty and Mr Bones from SuperTed are in a monogamous relationship.

JFC she’s still posting about it. Now the fact that the genderless alien is being used to ridicule her proves she was right all along somehow apparently.
She needs to Google “Streisand effect” and then log off.
