THE MEAT IN THE RUSSELL BRAND SCANDAL SANDWICH

Branded a rapist

Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, the next few days is going to be dominated by the tedious Russell brand scandal. Already, a lot of people are mouthing off their opinions about the motor-mouthed middle-ranking celeb and his previously shagadelic lifestyle. So, just what exactly is all the fuss about?

According to the paywalled story in The Times newspaper spearheading this controversy, Brand has been a bit of a naughty boy. Quoting that source, here are the main allegations:

One woman alleges that Brand raped her against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, according to medical records. Text messages show that in the hours after leaving his house, she told Brand that she had been scared by him and felt taken advantage of, adding: “When a girl say[s] NO it means no.” Brand replied saying he was “very sorry”.

A second woman alleges that Brand assaulted her when he was 31 and she was 16 and still at school. She said he referred to her as “the child” during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship that lasted for about three months, and that Brand once “forced his penis down her throat”, making her choke. She says she tried to push him off and said she had to punch him in the stomach to make him stop.

A third woman claims that he sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles, and that he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation.

The fourth described being sexually assaulted by Brand and him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her.

Here at Neocrat we are no fans of Brand and his desperate conspiritard attempts to stay relevant, but basically it sounds like a few women having anger and low-self-esteem issues after getting pumped and dumped by a mentally unstable celeb they had thrown themselves at. There is, of course, the possibility that further details and cases may come to light, following this publicity, which may change our initial impression, although by then we will probably have tuned out.

One notable line being pushed on the Conspiritard Right is that, whether Brand is guilty or not, the timing of the allegations is "highly suspicious". Maybe, but these are the same idiots who thought the dumping of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal at the climax of a US Presidential election was not suspicious at all, duh!
