Richard Osman has nailed Russell Brand here all ends up
Explaining Brands spin of playing a victim trying to be silenced by the establishment who don’t like him speaking the truth
The real truth was he knew he was a sexual abuser and the walls were closing in on him
Renee Pope-Munro retweeted
“But there was no evidence Russell Brand did any of this!”
The evidence:
- 100+ witnesses traced & interviewed.
- 400+ witness statements taken.
- 1,400+ documents examined.
- independent accounts from four different women.
- Supporting testimony from friends, colleagues, family & his own former PA.
- Consistent disclosures made years earlier.
- Brand’s own admissions of using fame for sexual access.
He faced a trial and the jury convicted him of 4/7 counts. He was sentenced to 10 years.
If that isn’t enough “evidence” to convince you of a man’s guilt, consider that you belong in prison with him. 🫶

For the hard-of-thinking out there : if a defendant accused of rape says "it was consensual", he is admitting that there was pentration. Therefore DNA evidence is NOT NECESSARY. You don't need to prove something that someone admits to...

Losers on Twitter hearing about a guy who has had sex pest rumours for decades, it’s an open secret he’s a sleaze, he’s been accused out of court, and has been accused in court by many, literally convicted of rape, everything about him screams rape: that slut bitch is lying

A *lot* of experts on hearsay knocking about.
To help:
Hearsay is an out-of-court statement where someone is relying on the content. (‘I heard a man on a bus say that the celebrity did it to her’).
Evidence given by a person in court (‘he did it to me’) is not hearsay.

This is my friend Dino, who lives in Boston. He’s a lifelong Democrat, voted for Biden and Kamala, and isn’t a fan of Trump.
It takes a lot to get him going. He’s not a crazy liberal and is pretty sane, considering we’ve been friends for over a decade.
Here’s his reaction to Haley Stevens endorsing Mike Rogers. 👇

Me, always. Nothing will ever touch this portrayal, the woman recites a sonnet with the raise of an eyebrow - but what I am looking for in any future adaptation is someone who understands that Lizzie is most like Mr. Bennett, enjoying making sport of her friends and neighbours
I'm so sorry, Amanda Batula saying she's not returning over online bullying whilst this is her first time ever being the one in the fan crosshairs when her castmates endured for YEARS, speaks volumes to how coddled she was & how entitled she feels to same. #SummerHouse #InTheCity
I saw the new Pride & Prejudice trailer & this is why I won’t be gaslit into believing 2026 Sense & Sensibility is acceptable. Adaptation is one thing, fundamentally misunderstanding the characters & narrative is another. I feel like our beloved story is in safe hands w. Dolly 🥰

Remember when Bravo fired Ramona Singer for being a racist POS??
How are we now at the point Bravo is actively hiring racists for their shows??? #SmallTownTrouble
