All the celebrities speaking for and against Russell Brand - LIVE
All the celebrities speaking for and against Russell Brand - LIVE
Russell Brand’s downfall was never going to be a fall from grace because he was proudly ungraceful to begin with. The loud-mouthed comic has built a career on being uncouth, uncontrollable and unapologetic, and even though platforms are being torn from under his feet, he clearly won’t be silenced. This is thanks to the die-hard fanbase he’s assembled by becoming a “mainstream media”-basher and promoter of right-wing conspiracy theories. But whilst the likes of Andrew Tate and Tucker Carlson have been quick to offer Brand their support, other celebrities are admitting that the allegations against him confirm their long-held suspicions. Now, indy100 is here to keep you updated on all the high-profile figures who are pledging their allegiance to the disgraced 48-year-old, all of those who have spoken out against him in the past, and all of those who are shouting from the rooftops now. Katherine Ryan responds to Brand allegations Katherine Ryan has responded to the claims around Brand for the first time since they were made public. Recent news reports suggested that Brand left the series Roast Battle on Comedy Central after co-star Ryan kept mentioning sexual abuse claims on camera. On her podcast on Thursday, Ryan said: “I have nothing else to say about anything... apart from just a passing observation that when a woman says 'no, I don't want to engage in that conversation, no I have no comment on that story', 'no I won't be confirming or denying or participating at all about anything in the news right now', her consent is not valid.” She added that “no is a full sentence”. “Why is my consent totally unimportant when we are speaking a lot in the press right now about issues surrounding the importance of consent?” Right wing TV host Megyn Kelly blasts Brand supporters x.com Megyn Kelly says she’s “SICK of conservatives online trying to defend” Russell Brand. Megyn Kelly has slammed the "knee-jerk" response of some right wing commentators to support Brand. The former Fox News host said: "People need to take a pause before they resort to the knee jerk. "We cannot go from the absurdity of believe all women, which was never the right way, into the absurdity of believe no women. And that's what we're now doing." ‘Jimmy Savile police unit’ working with Met on Brand allegations A police team set up after the Jimmy Savile scandal, called the Hydrant Programme, is working with the Metropolitan Police to investigate the claims made against Brand. “We are working with the Metropolitan Police in support of their response to recent allegations and would urge any victim or survivor who feels ready to report any allegations of sexual assault to come forward and speak to officers,” a spokesperson for the Hydrant Programme said.

Knowing what he does now, he “wouldn't have done that interview, and I regret doing it,” he told the BBC. Miliband, now Labour's shadow energy security and net zero secretary, said: “Russell Brand was rather notoriously going round saying people shouldn't vote because voting made no difference.” “That's why I did an interview with him, because I wanted to get to the people who he was influencing to say voting does make a difference.” Here's the clip. MPs' concern over Brand monetising content x.com The UK Parliament (Culture, Media and Sport Committee) letter to Rumble concerning Russell Brand. Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Committee writes to social media firm Rumble, asking it to prevent Brand monetising his content on its platform. The letter asked the firm to confirm “whether Mr Brand is able to monetise his content [on Rumble]” and, if so, “whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform”. Rumble, which tends to attract people with right wing views, responded by rejecting the letter. “We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so,” the statement from Rumble said. “We emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands." Read more. Elon Musk weighs in... Again Elon Musk, the X/Twitter owner, has jumped back into the debate. This time, he was responding to a UK Parliamentary committee letter that suggested companies cut Russell Brand's income in the wake of the allegations. Musk wrote: "There is more to this than meets the eye. "If the concern is actually sexual predation in the entertainment industry, that is a very long list. "Why @rustyrockets and why now?" Presumably, the answer is that it is because allegations of historic abuse have only just come to light. But Musk's post appears to have got conspiracy theorists excited. One person wrote beneath that it is a "psyop x distraction," while another said it is "targeted". Neither provided evidence or elaborated on their rationale. Here's the post. Brand was 'thrilled' with Katy Perry's chilling nickname for him, claims Piers Morgan Brand's ex-wife, popstar Katy Perry, referred to the comedian as Rasputin, according to Piers Morgan. The TV personality wrote in the Sun newspaper that Perry used the chilling nickname at an event in 2013. She allegedly told Morgan that British people are "so damn confident". "Trouble is, I find that irresistible. I love Brits ... Well, not all of them – not Rasputin, obviously." Grigori Rasputin was a monk during the final years of the Russian Empire, who was "infamous for his drunkenness and for womanising". Morgan continued that Brand was later "thrilled" with the name. He reportedly reacted by saying that Rasputin was a "pretty powerful bloke" who could "manipulate" people with his eyes, and who was "having it off with everyone, drinking and getting into fights".

Ryan starred in the first season of Roast Battle alongside Brand and Jimmy Carr in 2018. Brand departed after six episodes, with Jonathan Ross taking his spot as a judge. Read more here Vanessa Feltz ‘admired friend’ Russell Brand before his ‘deeply offensive comments’ on chat show Vanessa Feltz has revealed she went on Brand’s chat show as “his friend”, but admits she was horrified by his remarks asking if he could sleep with her and her daughters. Feltz told This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Dermot O’Leary that she and Brand were friends when she appeared on the show in 2006, and that she “admired his style”, but says she soon felt awkward when he made sexual remarks towards her and her young daughters. She said: “I was horrified, there has to be some boundaries but it is awkward when you are a guest on someone’s show. The genuine prevailing feeling was he was very funny.” Watch the interview here It's perhaps worth noting that Noel Fielding, Brand's longtime friend, has kept quiet on the whole scandal. Russell Brand’s prank call to rape helpline in 2008 Brand was widely condemned in 2008 after prank-calling an emergency rape phoneline during a stand-up routine. While onstage in Northampton in 2008, Brand phoned police in front of the audience, pretending to be a witness to numerous sexual assaults that had taken place in a local underpass. “I have got some information for you,” he told the call handler. “I’ve seen a gentleman who fits the description. He was wearing a lime green top and polka-dot trousers, and I thought, ‘Well, look at the state of him.’ I’ve had someone come near my underpass.” He continued: “He was dressed absolutely atrociously, he looked like Timmy Mallett.” Brand told the call handler that the audience laughter heard in the background was coming from an episode of The Bill he was watching on TV. He told them his name was Sarah. Read more here Follow the latest updates on Brand here.

Elon Musk and Andrew Tate – two of the most Googled people on the planet – have already publicly backed the 48-year-old comedian, as have those great champions of right-wing and conservative conspiracy theories: Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. And so it comes as no surprise that Pearl Davis, the woman who proudly owns the nickname “the female Andrew Tate”, is the latest red pill ideologist to throw her support behind Brand, who vehemently denies all the allegations made against him.

In a Facebook post, Brand described the festival as the “Woodstock of Wellness”. One year later, Cotton invited Brand to appear on her podcast, also titled Happy Place, for a second time.

Major UFC announcement hints at Conor McGregor return date
Major UFC announcement hints at Conor McGregor return date
UFC President Dana White has seemingly quashed rumours that Conor McGregor would make his return to the Octagon in December at UFC 296. “Notorious” hasn’t fought since suffering a broken leg in his second straight loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021, but had seemed confident he would make his return at the end of this year against Michael Chandler. White did not include McGregor, however, when he announced the headline bout for the upcoming UFC 296 event in December, although he did say that more fights were to be announced. In a video on social media, White confirmed that Britain’s Leon Edwards will defend the welterweight title against Colby Covington in the UFC 296 main event in Las Vegas. Covington is a former interim champion. He also revealed that Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka will be the co-main event for UFC 295 in New York in November, as the pair clash over the vacant light-heavyweight title. Pereira is a former middleweight champion, while Prochazka won the light-heavyweight title in 2021 but vacated it due to injury later that year. Irishman McGregor missed the deadline for re-enrollment into the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s (Usada) testing pool in July, which made his return this year questionable, given fighters must be in this pool for a minimum of six months before they can fight. Brock Lesnar was famously given an exemption to this rule in 2016 when he returned for UFC 200, but the official UFC-Usada policy states this can only be for “exceptional circumstances or where the strict application of that rule would be manifestly unfair to an athlete”. It now looks like McGregor’s long-awaited return will have to wait until 2024, when his fight with Chandler may precede bouts against Justin Gaethje and Nate Diaz. The 35 year-old’s current gap between fights is the longest since he made his UFC debut in 2013.
