Russell Brand Found Guilty of One Count of Rape and Three Counts of Sexual Assault

Obnoxious, compulsive man plays with matches all of his life and gets singed.

I don't have to form a judgment about whether he is guilty of rape to know that, by his own admission, he was ruthless in the pursuit of a goal of having sex with 5,000 women.

Just as we say to women, "take prudent steps to minimize your risk of rape," we can also say to a man, "take prudent steps, such as not attempting to bang every young woman you meet, to minimize your chances of being convicted of rape."

Russell Brand is facing years in jail today after being found guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others to feed his 'voracious' and violent lust.
The comedian and actor, 51, closed his eyes as he was convicted of raping a 21-year-old fan he picked out of the crowd after one of his Hammersmith Apollo gigs in 2009.
Brand, then 33, pushed the woman face down into a pillow on his 'enormous' bed and removed his condom while raping her at his 2.3 million [pounds] Hampstead mansion, leaving her struggling to breathe.
She was left bleeding from her anus and afterwards said Brand ordered her to 'clean up the mess you've made' before switching on the TV to watch the science-fiction series Quantum Leap.

Huh.

The woman tried to clear up before being ushered out by a member of staff. A driver then handed her tissues as he took her home. Fearing she had contracted HIV, she underwent tests, which came back negative.
It can today be revealed that Brand has also been accused of raping two more women, including a 16-year-old schoolgirl, with the Crown Prosecution Service seeking to bring further charges.

He was cleared of three other charges, two of them rape, and one for sexual assault.

His victims told the court how Brand forced them into sexual activity, sometimes within seconds of first meeting them, while exploiting his fame in pursuit of a goal of sleeping with 5,000 women.
After eight-and-a-half hours of deliberations, jurors convicted him of the 2009 rape and sexually assaulting an MTV worker at a party in a Soho bar in 2004. But they cleared him of orally raping her in a toilet afterwards.
They also found Brand, a born-again Christian who said he wore the 'full armour of God' in court, guilty of sexually assaulting a Capital Radio worker after encountering her in a corridor in 2005.

I don't know if I buy his claim of being a Christian. He did a tour called "Messiah Complex," the main point of which was that he was a philosopher on par with the world's greatest thinkers and possibly the reincarnation of Jesus Himself.

It wasn't just a title. It was a mission statement.

I can't be 100% sure about that because I tried to watch it but had to turn it off after 20 minutes because it was nothing but the most obnoxious ravings of a certifiable narcissist with a lot of screaming fans enabling him in his delusions.

At the end of the show -- I fast forwarded through it -- he made some "joke" about him being the second coming but that was also a super-clever pun about him coming, sexually, for the second time and boy oh boy that's such a great joke I immediately wrote it down in my diary of Jokes That a Professional Comedian Should Not Be Proud He Wrote.

But boy did Russell Brand beam with pride and narcissism at his witty pun.

It's the kind of thing a guy on a barstool says and you fake-laugh. It should not be a closing line to a fully-written and lavishly produced comedy special.

And then he did a documentary called "The Second Coming." The full documentary is here, I think.

I suspect that Brand's interest in Christianity and his interest in appealing to the Manosphere closely track with the increasing scrutiny he was receiving from prosecutors for his past escapades.

So while I do admit, of course, that someone's heart can be changed by Jesus, you'll have to excuse me for doubting that this guy's heart has been changed by Jesus, aka Russell Brand himself.

That doesn't mean he's guilty.

But it also doesn't mean I'm required to fly to his defense, either.

Ms Gallacher cried and held hands with an aide in the public gallery. Before the jury returned its verdicts, Brand looked at his wife and said: 'Laura, I love you.'
He loudly replied: 'Yes, my Lord,' when he was remanded into custody. He will be sentenced on Monday at Southwark Crown Court after being denied the chance to say goodbye to his children and wife.

I don't know if the "my Lord" here is a term of respect for the judge or an indication that God just spoke to him.

...
The BBC had received more than a dozen sexual misconduct complaints concerning the Despicable Me star's time as a Radio 2 DJ from 2005 until 2008.
Brand preyed on women he encountered while becoming one of Britain's best-known stand-up comedians, a lauded TV and radio host, and a Hollywood movie star.
He was cleared of two rape charges and one charge of attempted indecent assault following the month-long trial.
...
As part of his defence, his barrister had asked his accusers why they did not 'kick and scream' more.
Following the verdicts, the judge warned him that he faces prison.
Mr Justice Bennathan said: 'You've been convicted of a number of offences including rape.
'The consequence of that is inevitably a significant custodial term. My current view is that I therefore have to remand you into custody.'
...
Brand had got his big TV break in 2004 when he was chosen to host Big Brother's Big Mouth, and within a couple of months of the show starting he had sexually assaulted a woman in the Nordic bar in Soho, central London.
At a party of his former MTV colleagues, Brand grabbed the woman's breasts while they stood in the middle of the bar.
She accused him of dragging her to the men's toilets and orally raping her but the jury found Brand not guilty on that count.
The woman told the court the 'lad culture' of the time meant she did not report her interaction with Brand to police, telling the court: 'He was a celebrity and it would be his word against mine.
'I just thought the odds weren't in my favour.'
A worker at Capital Radio said Brand forced himself on her during a visit to the station in 2005, pinning her to a wall while he groped and 'sloppily' kissed her.
She told jurors members of Brand's entourage watched on as the attack happened, and did nothing but laugh as she looked over pleading for them to intervene.
A Brand superfan told the court how she willingly had a threesome with the comedian in 2009 after one of his shows at the Hammersmith Apollo.
Overawed by Brand's fame, the 21-year-old -- who was in a relationship at the time -- agreed to go to the star's 2.3million [pounds] Hampstead townhouse a few days later for sex.
But she said the encounter started with Brand unnervingly forcing her to strip, shower, and brush her teeth before they went to bed together.
She told jurors they had 'awkward' consensual sex, but Brand then raped her by forcing her into non-consensual anal sex and ignored her cries of pain.
Women were a 'disposable commodity' to Brand, said prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones KC, who dubbed him a 'sexual predator'.
'They didn't matter to him. He didn't even need to know their names. They were just a means to an end.'
The fan who was raped at Brand's home later bumped into him at Edinburgh Festival, and said he apologised after she said he had treated her 'like an animal'.
In 2009, during a recording session at Channel 4, members of Brand's entourage, Jack Bayles and Gareth Roy, forced a young female staffer to give him a massage, the court heard.
When she had reluctantly agreed, Brand thrust his head into the woman's groin and only got up again when apparently insulted that she had commented on his 'bony' body.
'I was so repulsed by the situation,' she told the court, and said she complained afterwards to her Channel 4 bosses.
But Brand was cleared by the jury of raping a woman at the Labour Party conference in 1999, after meeting her at the end of one of his cabaret shows.
He was also cleared of trying to indecently assault an MTV worker after dragging her towards a toilet at her workplace.
Following his convictions, it can now be revealed that the Crown Prosecution Service is seeking to bring charges in relation to a 16-year-old girl Brand is accused of sexually assaulting after grooming the virgin when he was aged 30.
Known by a pseudonym in the Channel 4 Dispatches programme which first exposed Brand in 2023, 'Alice' claimed that a BBC car took her from school to the star's house where she was later abused.
During their three-month relationship Brand called her 'my little dolly' and she had to punch him to stop an oral rape, she said.
...
Brand is already facing civil claims in Britain and the US.
A High Court claim from a woman seeking 100,000 [pounds] in damages for alleged personal injury and sexual abuse has been placed on hold pending the conclusion of the criminal trial.
The woman, referred to only in legal papers as AGX, says she was 23 when Brand forced himself on her at his Los Angeles mansion in 2008.
She fled half-dressed in terror after he allegedly pushed her onto his bed and tried to perform sex acts against her will.
There is also a separate lawsuit in New York after Brand was accused by an extra in the 2011 romantic comedy Arthur of exposing himself to cast members before sexually assaulting her in a lavatory on set.
....
Brand claimed to have felt the 'presence of God' in the courtroom, on his Christian podcast which he continued to record while standing trial for rape and sexual assault.
He told reporters repeatedly that he was 'blessed' as he arrived at court each morning to face the charges.
He and his wife prayed for those involved in the case.
He carried symbols of his Christian faith: a Bible complete with dozens of colourful tabs and a silver cross clasped tightly in his hands during the prosecution's opening address.
...
Brand's own words from his 2007 book My Booky Wook also came back to haunt him, calling himself 'demonically sexy' and admitting he could be 'uneasy company' when in the pursuit of sex.
He wrote: 'If I want something -- whether it's a job or a woman -- I will determinedly, resolutely, remove anything that's in the way, until I possess the object of my desire.'

Good. Now do the "Asian" Rape Gangs.

Is the verdict just?

Charlie Kirk found this entire prosecution suspicious:

Every single allegation against Russell Brand concerns events that took place twenty years ago or more. None of them existed while he was a famous actor or comedian. All of them emerged once he became a highly visible dissident on politics and Covid.
Brand has been forthright about his behavior as a young man, but the idea he was a serial rapist is absurd and, more importantly, completely unprovable.
This is a political prosecution, plain and simple.

Megyn Kelly claims that the woman accusing him of anal rape sure did consent to a lot of stuff before that:

Megyn Kelly
@megynkelly

She admitted that w/in moments of meeting RB backstage, she used her tongue on his anus (as another woman was fellating him). She hadn't even been introduced. Later she went to his place excited for sex (which they had). The two discussed anal sex b/4 hvg it - she said it was her 1st time. Her friend testified that the accuser admitted to her that she agreed to it (told RB "be gentle"). RB testified they watched tv together after.
When a reporter first contacted accuser about RB she said "I'm not sure my story has much in it; I was an idiot, young & stupid, probably as much to blame."

Michael Tracey
@mtracey
Here is one of the "rapes" that Russell Brand has just been convicted of. It allegedly occurred after what the woman says was a consensual threesome with Brand, followed by consensual vaginal sex. It was then, according to the woman, that Brand committed "anal rape" upon her...

Consent to the other things does not mean she consented to the anal sex, of course. But there is room for doubt that she refused consent.

Now, the below isn't evidence -- just hearsay and scuttlebutt -- but Konstantine Kisin (a based YouTuber and comedian) says that when he was on the comedy circuit, it was an open secret that Brand was a rapist.

Konstantin Kisin
@KonstantinKisin
Russell Brand has been found guilty of rape and sexual assault. I'm shocked because I was certain he would get away with his crimes.
The fact that Brand is a rapist was an open secret on the British comedy circuit. A friend of mine knows one of his victims.
One of the things I learned over the last few years is how many people in the entertainment industry are good, decent people and how many are compromised by their own desire for power, money and clicks.
Francis and I shared what we knew about Brand with people who were thinking of working with him and many of them immediately recognised we were telling the truth and stopped any association with him. Others, not so much.
This is even more true of his former employers like Channel 4 and the BBC. I am not saying everyone at those organisations knew but many people definitely did and they not only didn't say anything, some of them actively protected him.
I hope the verdict today brings closure and peace to his victims and serves as a reminder to powerful people who abuse their position to take advantage of others that they won't get away with it forever.

The first 2:45 of this is preparatory stuff. He makes a statement beginning at 2:45.

I don't know. I don't even hate the guy, despite him being a full-on deranged leftist before his Manosphere-friendly makeover. I liked him a lot in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and when he's not annoying the shit out of me with his hyperactive bad boy sexfiend persona, sometimes I can listen to him for 1-2 minutes.

I just know I don't want to hear this messiah-complexed obsessive-compulsive pervert talking about Jesus any more, but I'm very sure he's just getting started with that.

The Right gives a washed up, no talent attention because he says a few things the Right believes.

In fairness you can consent to normal sex and not buttsechs, so presuming she told him no, it was rape.

But as often with these kind of things how do you prove it? If she agreed to have sex with him and confirmed that the question is did she say no when he moved on to Bootyjuicing her? Or it all happened and then later she decided she didn't like it?

It could be that this was about covid and punishing wrongthink. It's also possible that, after the BBC covered up Jimmy Savil for decades, lefties wanted to avoid the next black eye so they dug up rumors about Brand. Or maybe exposing safely-white sexual predators became a hot story so people pursued it for reasons of pure careerist advantage.

36 The only thing which points at his conversion to Christianity being sincere is that the obvious play if he was trying to insulate himself from the charges would have been to choose to be a Muslim.

Being a Christian only increases his chances of conviction.

2. That being said, Brand all but begged for this. He was ruthlessly sexually aggressive, hard-fucked every THOT and whore he could find, and seemed to seek out toxic situations and relationships. The heavy drugs didn't help either. Play with fire, you'll eventually get burned.

I'm not excusing this behavior, but I also think when sometimes these celebrity types have women throwing themselves at men, it's like they can't read the room anymore.

And so things are looking like they are leading to sex (because they usually do) and then plans change.

I honestly dont know what happened, but when stuff gets trotted out from decades ago, my knee jerk is that its bullshit.

I also think people can and do genuinely convert to Christianity and make changes. I have a hard time believing this is all a grift, there's easier way to make a buck in the entertainment space than being an outspoken Christian.

53 Look, he admitted it himself in his book. It doesn't matter if he didn't think it was rape, but when you're a manwhore who literally says you had "uneasy sex" and who views women as objects who he will do anything to get and who jokes about his raping of women repeatedly...then, I don't feel bad for you if you get burned just like Cosby did. You thought money and rep would let you be at a minimum, a sexual assaulter (we can discuss later if "uneasy sex" rises to the level of rape, but he's on video harrassing women and groping them over and over...and they are themselves celebrity women)...

126 There is a weird kind of parallel between the glass-snatched Ex Post Fucto everything is rape if I say it is weirdos, and Big Muzz.

They have this creepy, Freudian need to be the masters of their own sexual destiny. They demand fulfillment, and if they don't get it, they will destroy you.

The muzz just wants to nut where he's not allowed to. Slutty McDickschneef on the other hand wants her little Experience to be magical, and if it isn't, then heads will roll.

"Have your way with me! .... wait, no, not like that! In a pretty way that I can tell people about later!"

Rape really is always about power, not sex. Creeps.

130 Like I have a niece (their cousin) and she just started college and is basically the girl that gets black out drunk and dresses provactively. She's way more likely to be "raped".

I'm old enough that "if you regret sex later it was rape" was not yet a thing.

Plenty of my aquitances would get drunk and wind up having sex with each other. In none of these cases, as far as I know at least, was it a guy roofing the girl - they were both just drinking a lot.

138 I'm not excusing this behavior, but I also think when sometimes these celebrity types have women throwing themselves at men, it's like they can't read the room anymore.

When Mike Tyson was accused of raping a woman I remember his side leaked that she went to his hotel room at 3 AM.

And when a few people pointed out, "Hey maybe don't go to a stranger's room at 3AM by yourself" that was labelled misogyny.

What a stupid world we live in
Posted by: 18-1 at November 05, 2026 01:29 PM (sKqQm)
________

The Tyson case was actually worse than that. There was no dispute that they were already half-naked in the limo that took both of them to the hotel.

Then, when they got to his hotel room, he ate her pussy.

Then they had sex.

But the jury never heard most of this story because the judge applied the "rape shield" law to preclude not only evidence of the lady's prior sexual history with other guys, but also the prior sexual history of the accused rapist that happened 30 seconds before the alleged rape.

Tyson was railroaded.

yes it's rape if what she's saying is true, but tbh, given that she immediately began tossing his salad in a fellatio/analingus three-way before she'd even told her her name, I think there's reasonable doubt about her narrative that she didn't grant consent.

She could be telling the truth. But she does seem to be what we used to call "A Dirty Hoor" and starfucker.

205 "Konstantine Kisin (a based YouTuber and comedian) says that when he was on the comedy circuit, it was an open secret that Brand was a rapist."

No idea if he's telling the truth, but the comedy circuit is nastier than two diseased warhogs fucking each other in the ass.

The comedians mostly hate each other. The competition for gigs is fierce, and there's a lot of jealousy, so they are constantly bad-mouthing and smearing each other to try to destroy each other's careers. There is a lot of perversion and homosexuality. And piles and piles of drugs.

So Kisin could be accurately reporting what he heard, but the reports were lies and smears to try to destroy a young and popular -- and rich -- comedian.

Mostly the entire American comedy scene was trying to destroy Dane Cook when he broke out. He was young and got rich and famous, and his fellow comics hated that.

Kinda like how no one was interested in Bill Cosby's sex life until he told black kids to pull up their britches.

Guilt or innocence almost seems beside the point.

Foreign rape gangs do whatever they want. "Refugees" can bugger 10 year old boys at a pool due to "a sexual emergency." No one bats an eye.

But say something the regime doesn't care for and it'll put your prick under a microscope.

You can say, "Just be modest, decent," and you'll be fine. Tell that to the MIT cancer researcher who had his career destroyed for the sin of not immediately recognizing crazy and evil.

Hell, tell it to Kavanaugh. They just made it up out of whole cloth to get at him.

TX did many things wrong. Hubris top to bottom. They were warned that Ds are outperforming Rs in registration and in early voting. This is from (highly respected) Dana Loesch (she in TX) last weeks of October
"Just got off the phone with Tarrant County election insiders who broke down what is becoming a five-alarm warning: Democrats are outvoting Republicans here.

For perspective, Tarrant is the last large red urban county in America. It is GROUND ZERO for flipping Texas. While Tarrant has more registered Republicans than Democrats, Ds have done a better job of turnout than Rs for the last several elections....
I am told that even though Ds typically outperform Rs in early voting, the reduced percentage of Rs early voting against Ds at this point signals a major warning.Texas will be lost if Republicans don’t vote."

278 > Besides using a lot of power, do data centers use a lot of water?

The new data center builds I've seen are all closed loop water systems. They do not use a lot of water.

As to power, many states make it faster and easier for data center builders to get permission if the data center supplies its own power. The builders aren't stupid, and they know supplying their own power speeds the bureaucratic process up and eases the public's fear.

This varies by state, of course.

Talk is cheap but when push comes to shove, blacks vote absolutely monolithically -- over 90% Democrap -- and Jews aren't far behind. I'm sure a lot of that is ballot harvesting, selling their ballots for cigarettes, etc.

Same thing in TX. Despite months of moaning by blacks over how pissed they were that Jizzmine got played, they still voted monolithically for the perverted gay imp.

Just pure monolithic voting, no matter what. Normal, rational thought never comes into it. This has been a yuge problem for the GOP for decades, and they've yet to solve the problem.

Limetown is a 10 half hour episode syfy limited series on Prime. First, the good news. I pretty much liked it. Hundreds of the best and brightest scientists found the isolated utopian community of Limetown where they do neuroscience stuff. All is well and good for a while until a panic 911 call comes in. When the responders finally get there, there is not a soul in the place other than the body of their guru who has been chained to a pole and burned. Now it's 15 years later and nobody knows what happened or where the scientists are. APR (American Public Radio) reporter (and lesbian) girl boss whose beloved uncle is among the missing investigates. What follows is a good syfy mystery with an unexpected amount of real human emotion.
Now for the not so good. It's rather bloated. Instead of 10 half hour episodes, they could've made two or three hour episodes that would been much tighter. And it's woke. Hero is a girl boss lesbian and, as is usually case, the lezbo stuff is pointless virtue signaling. Girl boss is rather shockingly morally flexible and . .

In the distant past, regarding politics, I thought he was funny for a few seconds.

To have a goal of sex with 5k women is both ick and STD palooza.

He needs prison to humble himself before man and God.

I never found his conversion genuine,but only God knows at this point. Was this done to help him in future rape charges as a changed man? Possible.

His mocking of being the second coming of Christ is disgusting, foul and puts his soul in peril...he'd better ask for forgiveness from God quickly on this subject and many others.

I compare him to the vile and ghey Milo Yiannopoulos.Who used to pal around with Ann Coulter and be pro Trump. He's fake as well for clicks and probably a druggie from the looks of recent photos. He looks very ill.

317 On data centers; if you're against AI on principle, fine, I get it, but the data centers themselves are only a problem if you're living right next door to them.

The AI corps need to build data centers near large cities in every state. They are needed only so far as AI inference is done remotely. I'm not sure that all AI will be run remotely in the long term, and if they aren't and running locally becomes a thing in five or ten years due to model improvements and optimizations then all these huge data centers are going to be useless in the long term.
We may be fighting a battle that doesn't need to be fought.

As far as the neocloud data centers that are being built; electricity prices going up is the biggest problem.
If they get around that problem, and there are plenty of solutions, then they really shouldn't be that big of a problem.

They've been building data centers around the country, and the world, for twenty years, why it suddenly became such a problem is not entirely clear to me, other than people don't like AI, or are scared of the implications of AI.

319 I enjoyed the Spanish language limited series on Netflix The Final Problem. It's murder mystery set on a Mediterranean island among the beautiful jet set people in the early '60s. The premises is that a fading actor famous for appearing as Sherlock Holmes in a series of movies is lured to the island in pursuit of a role. Once there, a series of murders breaks out and faux Sherlock Holmes is expected to solve them. It's not woke, I like the setting, and it's a pretty good story.

325 I've mentioned the series This Is Not a Murder Mystery, most recently when the Art Thread featured surrealist painter René Magritte who is a main character in this series. In fact, the series title is inspired by words written on one of his paintings, This Is Not a Pipe. The setting is a gathering of surrealists for a show in 1936 to introduce the world to surrealism and includes such guests as Salavador Dali, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Lee Miller et al. The plot (so far) resembles Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None except the murders are apparently inspired by the guests' surrealist art work. The series is over the top super woke to the extent that I am allowing myself to believe that this is satire. Anyway, if you're looking for something different, this different.

331 There is being optimistic and then there is being optimistic, a dick to regulars, and wronger than Lena Dunham twerking.

332 "Some people on our side are too fragile and easily triggered."

Up until yesterday, there wan an omerta code here that discouraged criticism of DJT, the war, etc. The pushback against hearing bad news might be why some folks here were so shocked by the results.

Ya I already run models locally, I saw the writing on the wall like 2 years ago and got a 5090 at $2k. Water block and pump was an extra $350 and the extra thermal controller, so fuckin worth.

335 TJM was an optimist.. We can use those... I was just as guilty.. I never believed in a 1000 years Texas would go blue...

I was more optimistic than he was. Man, I had historical evidence and everything. And then I got a reminder that 90% of Americans hate politics. They open their wallets, they check the bank account and their 401Ks and if they're unhappy, they vote for the other guygal/trans.

At Insty, I saw a great reaction comment about the financial markets today:

Nov. 4 Yay! We stuck it to Trump

Nov. 5 The Democrats are in charge?

336 In my state, the electorate shifted between 5-7% on average to the left vs 2024. Everything from governor down to dog catcher. My county a VERY red county saw about an 8% shift.

It wasn’t fraud because republicans control everything in the state. My county is run by Republicans and I’m pretty sure they didn’t decide out of the blue to give Dems an extra 8% just because.

Was there some fraud? Of course there is always fraud. But to say the entire massive shift nationwide is due to fraud is refusing to accept reality.

337 The big lessons are just that the D party can act in lockstep even in the midst of their own factional civil war, and the GOP is Dogshit.

Cheating is peripheral. Demographics are peripheral. Everything besides those two major points is tangential to what's happening.

The GOP, as an entity, does not want to lead. Everything ties back to that fact.

338 "TJM was an optimist"

He was great at instantaneously presenting facts and points to arguments. I don't know if he had an AI or a hyperolodex or what.

339 Talarico will never make it through six years without crashing and burning. There’s something seriously wrong with him. It’ll be like that dude in a dress nuclear energy secretary during the Biden administration. He’ll reveal himself to be deeply disturbed and incapable of fulfilling his senatorial duties.

DiFi was a corpse. McConnell would blank out for minutes on end. I don't think being incapable of fulfilling senatorial duties is any obstacle.

I think he's just a nerd about elections.

It's like publius with the sky or AOP with anything with a motor.

342 It used to be the cliche that being "in the wilderness" would tighten up your party and give them discipline and focus so they could come back and regain power again one day.

Now? This plastic dogshit excuse for a party actually *thrives* on being in the proverbial wilderness. Their entire business model is predicated on them not being in power. Not only was there no more credible opposition to the left to keep them from swerving off into abject futtbuckery and imperial delusions, there's not any credible opposition to the GOP, either, because the one man who built a bit of momentum to rebuild the dickheads into a legitimate political party gets ankle-bit to death every time he does something we the people actually want.

People can't have nice things because they don't want nice things. They want a nice story, instead.
