Me too BlueIris

Yeah Saville was always a bit creepy. Rolf shocked me too, and initially I refused to believe it. The same with Harvey. Same with Epstien. Same with Andrew. But I've seen enough of these exposures to know I can't trust my own gut instincts anymore. I hope he hasn't done this, just in my eyes it isn't looking positive.

He offered Saville one of his girls, naked, on an interview. I don't believe Russell was not aware of the allegations against Jimmy. He's a smart guy, and the allegation's were going around on a large scale in the early 00's. Has Russell ever spoke about Jimmy in a negative way? I'd be interested to listen/read those.

ChatGPT can't seem to find anything, but it's pretty useless anyway for this sort of research.

I'm slanted towards he did some things, because of the Hydrant and MET investigation. But if they drop the cases, he'll be ok legally and then this can be viewed as just a witch-hunt.

ChatGPT is being evasive:

Reproduce the 2007 interview between russell and jimmy, where he offered one of his girls to jimmy.

It replied with:

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide verbatim excerpts from specific interviews, especially those involving sensitive or potentially inappropriate content. Furthermore, I have no information or record of such an interview between Russell Brand and Jimmy Savile in 2007, where such an offer was made. It's essential to note that providing false or misleading information can be harmful and unethical. If you have concerns or questions about specific interviews or content involving these individuals, I recommend referring to reputable sources or conducting your research to verify the accuracy of any claims made. Please let me know if you have any other questions or need information on a different topic, and I'll be happy to assist.

This annoys me, because it will not answer questions on cases regarding sexual offences.

Another issue that leaves me scratching my head is why go with a girl who is still at school?

I'm a male, attracted to females. So I can only really think about this from my point-of-view. But, I'm only attracted to women around my age, or a bit older so I don't fully know why he'd go with a 16 year old, but I can speculate ...

16 is legal, albeit borderline. For an older guy who is well aware of the law, and morals, what would their justification be?

16 is likely a virgin, and if I recall this girl was. And that's the only thing that I can think of that would attract a "promiscuous" grown man to a young girl. And that's exploitation because yes she's legal, but only just. Why go for the girls that are 16 is still the big question.

I feel disgusted even writing this, but we need to be real about the situation.

If he did have a relationship with this girl, certain questions will require answers from Russell. And that's going to be tricky to explain to your audience why a) you lied and said you didn't b) why you chose to date a girl still at school.

Note, I am not implying guilt at this stage. Just weighing up what's out there at the moment.

Tavistock Wood announced its decision to "terminate professional ties" with Brand hours before Saturday night's Dispatches film aired. Tavistock Wood is a talent and literary agency that represents and advises artists of outstanding talent and international reputation. They were first made aware of allegations of sexual assault in 2020. In a statement issued on Saturday afternoon, it said Brand "categorically and vehemently denied the allegation made in 2020", and "We now believe we were horribly misled by him," it added.

And if true, that brings the date from 2013, to 2020.

I'm compiling a list of all companies that have paused, or dropped him. If there's any missing, please let me know.

One Arm Bandit and Mayfair Film Partnership
Russell Brand has stepped down from two of his businesses, One Arm Bandit and Mayfair Film Partnership Ltd, in the wake of sexual assault allegations against him

The Companies House pages for both One Arm Bandit and Mayfair Film Partnership Limited, a film productions company, feature the update: ‘Termination of appointment of Russell Edward Brand as director on 19 September 2023.’

Travistock
Tavistock Wood is Russell Brands agency. Or, the agency he was under.

Tavistock Wood announced its decision to "terminate professional ties" with Brand hours before Saturday night's Dispatches film aired. Tavistock Wood is a talent and literary agency that represents and advises artists of outstanding talent and international reputation. They were first made aware of allegations of sexual assault in 2020. In a statement issued on Saturday afternoon, it said Brand "categorically and vehemently denied the allegation made in 2020". "We now believe we were horribly misled by him," it added.

Tour Promoters
When Dispatches was aired, Brand performed a sold-out gig called Bipolarisation at the Theatre Royal In Windosor. But tour promoters said in a statement on Monday: "We are postponing these few remaining addiction charity fundraiser shows, we don't like doing it - but we know you'll understand."


YouTube
YouTube has stopped Russel Brand from monetizing his video, and ads on his video have been removed. This means he can no longer make money from his YouTube videos. In light of the allegations against Brand, YouTube has suspended adverts on all of his channels, which include his main page, Football Is Nice and the spirituality-focused Awakening With Russell.


Sticker Mule, and Vivobarefoot
Sticker Mule and Vivobarefoot - two of the 10 companies that have sponsored videos on Brand's YouTube channel *- have said they will no longer work with the star. The company said it "suspended their relationship with Russell Brand pending further information" while Vivobarefoot, a "minimalist running shoe company", has "stopped" any upcoming activity with Brand.


Bluebird Publishing
Pan Macmillan imprint Bluebird has "paused" all work with the comedian. Bluebird has published self-help books by Brand, including Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions and Mentors: How To Help And Be Helped, and was to publish another - Recovery: The Workbook - in December 2025. It is currently unclear if the book will be released.


Trevi Woman's Charity
Devon-based charity Trevi helps vulnerable mothers struggling with drug addiction and worked with Brand for a year before cutting ties with him over the weekend.

It said: "Today's media revelations have been difficult to process but our priority remains and continues to be the safety and well-being of all women and girls now and in the future.

"We have ended our association with Russell Brand and the Stay Free Foundation.

"As a charity whose values put women's voices at the heart of what we do, we always prioritise supporting women affected by violence and abuse and empower them to live without violence and fear."


Wanderlust Festival
Brand had been due to headline Australia's Wanderlust Festival in February 2024 but in a statement issued on Wednesday, the event's organiser said it "agreed" Brand will no longer appear at the festival.

BBC
The British broadcaster has pulled some content involving Brand from its TV and radio streaming services. These included an episode of the quiz show _QI_ and a podcast with the fitness personality Joe Wicks. A spokesperson said it was “a considered decision” to remove the content, since “it now falls below public expectations.” The spokesperson explained, “The BBC does not ban or remove content when it is a matter of public record, unless we have justification for doing so.”

Channel 4
Brand, who used to present Channel 4’s Big Brother spin-off shows EFourum and Big Brother’s Big Mouth, was the subject of a Dispatches documentary on Saturday night which covered the extent of his alleged abuse. The corporation has also launched an investigation into Brand's career with them.

They have removed shows featuring the comedian from its streaming service, including The Great Celebrity Bake Off in which Brand made a biscuit in the shape of a vagina.

Acast
Podcast company Acast have turned off advertisements on Brand’s Under The Skin podcast immediately following the news, they said.


Paramount+
Following in the footsteps of BBC iPlayer, the streaming service has removed Brand's 2009 comedy show Live in New York City.


Steven Barlett
Dragon's Den star Steven Bartlett is well-known for his podcast, Diary of a CEO, in which he interviews CEOs, influencers, company founders, or industry specialists about their success.

In June, he had a one hour and 40 minute interview with Brand. It was titled: Russell Brand FINALLY Opens Up: Escaping A Lifetime Of Anxiety, Addiction & Finding Love!

The interview covered Brand's sex addiction, his relationship with popstar Katy Perry, and had been viewed more than 2.5 million times on YouTube.

However, all traces of the interview - on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube - have disappeared.

Dropped Before The Allegations
* Comedy Central series Roast Battle after just one season, in 2018, because fellow judge Katherine Ryan had called him a “sexual predator” multiple times on the show.

The Government have issued a response, and warned people not to publish anything that could land them in legal trouble: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/m...-russell-brand

Also, the MET police recieved the reports on the 17th of September. Dispatches aired on the 19th. Russell released a video on the 16th.

“On Sunday, September 17, 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.
“We first spoke with The Sunday Times on Saturday, September 16 and have since made further approaches to The Sunday Times and Channel to ensure that anyone who believes they have been the victim of a sexual offence is aware of how to report this to the police.
“We continue to encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of a sexual offence, no matter how long ago it was, to contact us.”

Actually, police were aware on the 16th according to what they said above.

Which suggests Russell didn't release his video because Channel 4 called him to ask for comment. He released the video because he or his legal team got a call from the police.
