    Damn, I was about to post that article! But regardless, there is so much proof regarding Brand’s misdeeds which may contributed to his “rebranding” from a liberal revolutionary hippie to a conservative Christian.

    I am shocked and appalled… Wait not “shocked”… What’s the word? Oh yeah “completely unsurprised.”

    I don’t think anyone is surprised by this. The guy has been an obvious creep for years. I was kind of expecting murder charges, tbh.

      As I’ve been watching Diddy and Beand go down, I’ve been thinking to myself, “Damn, and I really like that movie!” I just need to remember to say “scandals noted” when watching this or Forgetting Sarah Silverman in the future.

      The criminal charges were announced one and a half years after Brand was accused of sexual misconduct by four women in the fall of 2023.

      I’m assuming you’re referencing to these earlier accusations. Accusations -> Charges-> Prosecution -> Verdict is the usual process.

      As an aside I’ve actually been rewatching a lot of panel shows and he’s consistently my least favourite participant.
