And his right-wing transformation is now complete.
I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t the other way around.
He probably knew some charges were coming years ago, and started adapting his output accordingly.
Oh for sure. He’s been soft-pedaling his right-wing transformation ever since the initial allegations went public years ago. The hard turn recently is probably exactly as you say, he knew charges were coming.
the suddenly “baptism” was obvious, because he mustve knew charges were going to be brought against him eventually
I don’t think he thinks the way you and I do. I don’t think it was that calculated.
It doesn’t take much calculating at all. It’s just easy to convince right-wing audiences that sexual misconduct allegations are all a conspiracy by the Deep StateTM to silence them. It’s a pretty basic grift.
Well he also has people like managers, publicists and agents who will think this way.
He’ll be on Joe Rogan in about a month
Freudian slip, but true nonetheless
He’s been a regular on Bro Brogan for years. That’s where his shift to the right-wing began a few years ago, shortly after his sex pest behavior became public knowledge.
Rapist Russell Brand charged with Attempted Comedy
It’s always the ones you most suspect.
“Rapist Russell Brand charged with attempted comedy”
It’s always the people who you expect the most.
Well, I’ve seen this coming for a while now, but I must admit, I actually liked him once upon a time. His comedy specials weren’t just funny, they made you think about the abstract ideas of religion and consciousness. He was like a handsome rockstar comedian, the sort of person I wish I could be. Smart, sexy, cool, interesting. Hell, when I got sober from alcohol, reading his book that re-imagined the twelve steps into something less religious actually helped.
But then I heard the rumors, and it kind of fit with the image he gave himself. And then he made that abrupt turn into right-wing conspiracy and that all but confirmed it. To be honest I thought he’d already been charged with something and had just celebrity-ed his way out of it. Sucks, man.
Hey, help is help, don’t let his failings mean that your success is somehow tarnished. I get the sentiment as well. He was a little over the top for my taste but the reboot of Arthus he did still ranks pretty high on my list.
I loved Dennis Miller back in the '80s, before he made his heel turn into a right-wing douche. In retrospect, I realize I actually just liked the SNL writers coupled with his snarky delivery.
Dennis Miller was a great writer himself, and wrote all of the Weekend Update stuff that he did, and a bunch of sketches. It’s ok to say he was once great at what he did, because he was. But I would recommend going back and watching Dennis Miller Live on HBO. I went back and re-watched it during the pandemic, and it’s pure Libertarian garbage wrapped up in snarky wit and big words. So he’s always been kind of a right-leaning douche, but 9/11 broke his brain and he dropped all the Libertarian pretense.
This explains his sudden turn to Christianity last year. He’s going to try the “God forgave me” defense.
Actually it was his turn to the right wing grifting. Christianity was just icing on the cake to make evangelicals acceptable to him
it was pretty obvious when he started to trying to hide behind the pro-rape party of conservatives.
More like “I can’t be guilty of such a crime. I’m saved!”
So it goes something like this:
- Man rapes
- Man gets away with it for a while
- Man gets charged for it
- Man joins the far-right
After watching Kathy Perry’s documentary and what he did to her, I fucking hate this asshole.
I never watched that, what did he do?
He divorced her over text, minutes before she was about to get on stage on her premiere tour. Then ghosted her after.
Holy FUCK. You know back when he was pretending to be a queer leftist, he had me genuinely fooled. He’s a truly scary fucker.
he would definitely be that creep to get closer to women.
God that’s awful. And calculatingly cruel.
It’s like seeing two turds collide
Huh, women intuition is never wrong
Until it is
What the fuck?
Kathy Perry

“names may have been changed to protect people’s privacy”
You’re kiddin’! HIM? …Nahhh. He’s always seemed like a super stable, reliable guy. You just never know about some people, you know?
It’s always the ones you mostly suspect…
Wait… Is racism back on the table guys??
That irish fucker with the marshmallows is gonna get it
Don’t worry, he can buy a Trump Gold Card, become a U.S. citizen, and Trump will offer him the position of Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues.
This is depressingly spot-on.
The only guy guy in the world who was less annoying when he was on crack
How did his newly found faith in God not spare him of this???
He’ll use this in his defence, somehow. Swear blind it’s why he miraculously found God.
A resolve all your sins get out of jail free card you get when you become Christian is how.

Let’s just not mention that the “whichever new faith” we’re speaking of is the very rapey evangelical Christianity, while making sure that we randomly emphasize that Islam is rapey, which is then expanded into Muslims being rapey. All in a post that has nothing at all to do with Islam or Muslims or refugees or whatever other bogeymen we regularly like to demonize.
Sean Lock was a prophet.
Charged with rape again, right? Didn’t we-the-people already cancel this idiot once?
