Russell Brand’s live shows postponed as another allegation surfaces
As promoters postpone the final dates of his Bipolarisation tour, Russell Brand faces another allegation
Aux News Russell BrandDespite Russell Brand making a tour stop at London’s Troubadour Wembley Park on Saturday to a standing ovation, promoters have postponed his upcoming tour dates due to the numerous sexual assault allegations against the comedian. Further indicating Brand’s departure from public life for the present moment, he also skipped his Rumble show Monday, days after he preemptively defended himself on the channel.
Earlier today, London’s Metropolitan Police announced they were investigating another accusation, this time from 2003, though they did not mention Brand by name. “We are aware of reporting by The Sunday Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches about allegations of sexual offenses,” a Met spokesperson told CNN. “On Sunday, 17 September, the Met received a report of a sexual assault which was alleged to have taken place in Soho in central London in 2003. Officers are in contact with the woman and will be providing her with support.”
A joint investigation by England’s The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 reported that four women accused Brand of sexual assault in incidents occurring between 2006 and 2013. One of the women was 16 at the time of the alleged assault, and Brand was 31. Brand has denied these allegations.
In addition to the postponed tour dates, Brand’s publisher, Bluebird, announced it would “pause all future publishing with Russell Brand.” Bluebird previously published the comedian’s Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions and Mentors: How To Help And Be Helped and planned on releasing his latest, Recovery: The Workbook, this December. Brand’s literary talent agency, Tavistock Wood, also cut ties. In The Times report, one of Brand’s accusers made allegations to the agency in 2020 and received a “very aggressive” response from Brand’s lawyers for her troubles. “Russell Brand categorically and vehemently denied the allegation made in 2020, but we now believe we were horribly misled by him,” Tavistock Wood said in a statement. “TW has terminated all professional ties to Brand.”

I was a big fan of his back in the early 2000s, but the more I listened to his radio show and the more I watched him on things, the more off things seemed. When he left comedy/acting for whatever conspiracy theory nonsense he’s into now, I was no longer interested in his whole deal, but I feel like anyone who listened to his radio show is unsurprised by these allegations.
“I was a big fan of his back in the early 2000s” What about his front?
Can we do The Sound of Freedom guy now (Tim Ballard)? Please. Who didn’t see that coming?
Oh, plenty of folks are doing that, up to and including the LDS.I guess grooming is fine, so long as you pull a “Bill Paxton in ‘True Lies’” scheme with it.
so funny that, even though the right wing got a bonafide hit (yes they cheated, but whatever), they couldn’t even get through the summer without it all falling apart.
He will attribute it all to his addictions of which he has since been cured since seeing the light and market in ‘exposing the deep state’. Zzzzzzz.
I think more likely he will just continue to insist it’s all a lie. His audience are already absolutely primed to go along with some really wild conspiracy logic so it’s not going to be that hard to convince them that this was a conspiracy concocted by some combination of the mainstream media, George Soros, the World Economic Forum, Bill Gates, the CIA, big pharma, Zelensky/Ukrainian Nazis, etc. Conspiracy theories are very easy to freestyle because no idea is too crazy and no evidence is ever actually required as long as you can just imagine it being true.
These instances all come after he had already played that card to get out of entertainment jail for that time he dressed up as Osama bin Laden. Pretty sure he used all his addiction freewill from that time.
What? Why? Nothin wrong with a lil hanky panky
Die bitch
Smell ma poot slut
Smell my poot slut
Die bitch
Die bitch die
He didn’t bother me until he started doing right wing grifter videos. He only goes after Dems and ignores the obvious awful things GOP/MAGA are doing.
