My sister became a "born again" Christian in her 40s and the church group she initially found was like a cult, some of the weirdest people you could ever meet. She started going to Alpha meetings, and became brain washed within weeks - to the extent of leaving her partner of 25 years, and leaving most of her family behind because we didn't "see the light". I'm utterly convinced it's a mental health crisis for many who find God (and I don't mean to offend anyone religious by saying this, I appreciate we all have our own way of getting through life). This may explain many of his followers...

I think it's a warped coping mechanism in a bid to finding a purpose in life when you feel lost and need a cause to latch on to..obsessively.
You find a group of like minded people and feel included.
I'm really sorry about you losing your sister to this cult.
Completely agree and sorry to hear about your sister. The Alpha group is a lot of pernicious nonsense and there are so many people who become Born agains like rapey Russell because they think it's an easy way to atone for their sins. Utter, utter horseshit.

Funny how celebs and the media will only ever represent tattle as a big evil when it's always been ahead of the curve with shady celebs and grifting influencers.
Is he still seeing himself as a prospective Restore MP? What a joke. Trump doesn't know who you are and Vance has forgotten you.
He'll show support for anything if it means keeping his followers. It's desperate, loser behaviour.
Out of interest, has he lost followers/engagement on socials? I hope so.
I am annoyed he apparently got a fortune for the pub he ruined. I hope the new owners are good to it

Russell Brand admits to sleeping with 16-year-old girl, denies wrongdoing
Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor Russell Brand appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show to discuss his new spiritual memoir How to Become a Christian in 7 Days.
Oh well that's OK then 
Obvs I could be completely wrong but I wonder if this is some kind of "tactic". Imo it's very on brand (excuse the pun) for him to try to take control of the narrative. A thought process where by admitting to a "legal but unwise" relationship will somehow water down the more serious claims. It reads like a controlled admission, something uncomfortable but defensible, that could help shape the narrative around more serious accusations, iyswim. I also suspect this situation to be highly provable which would also explain his being so open about it.16 year old

Yes it happened mainly after gigs but he was always careful to age check. Plenty of young girls were willing, sadly.Obvs I could be completely wrong but I wonder if this is some kind of "tactic".

He was always very open about age checking when issuing an open invitation during his gigs for females to join him in his room after the show had ended. Invariably there was a scrum and the selection process took place. Ghastly.

It's so odd to talk about sex before a court case about sex. I'm surprised he's admitted to that.
I agree that this is him deliberately sowing seeds to downplay what he did ahead of the trial and a jury being selected. Discussing it in America and admitting doing the 'legal' part - while emphasising this is legal in the UK to paint it as acceptable to the US audience (as age of consent varies by state but culturally seen as 18+) - isn't technically influencing a jury. But obviously it was going to get picked up by the press in the UK as well because of who he is, so it could be seen by his future jurors here.
This is him spin doctoring and controlling the narrative of "I didn't do anything illegal but now I'm a changed Christian family man, I realise that I should not have been having sex with schoolgirls when I was just an immature lad of 30" - conveniently not referencing the fact his court case is about him committing sexual assault and grooming/coercion and disregarding the consent she was able to give, not her age specifically.
It's an attempt to create plausible deniability/doubt about the actual abuse since he's openly admitting to an amount of inappropriateness with one defendant - but only the parts they can't prosecute him for. By publicly admitting he knew her and they did have sex, it puts all the burden on the prosecution to prove that the victim didn't consent and that he knew that (which is the most difficult part of any sexual assault case).
While that's often the case for sexual assault cases, most defendants don't get national press coverage of their defense months ahead of the trial while their victim cannot publicly respond due to defamation/contempt of court laws
He's a manipulative b and I agree that he's trying to set the narrative, dismissing all his past behaviour re young girls he hoped were actually 16 or over and not jailbait. Of course he fell short of asking for their actual birth certificates and when on drugs may have been less selective and more aggressively "persuasive" to satiate his sex addiction.
He's essentially telling us what his defence is going to be at trial.
I'm almost 40 and can't imagine being intimate with someone in their early 20s, nevermind teens. Disgusting. The age of consent, to me, is to say two consenting 16 year olds can knowingly agree to be with one another. Not that an adult can have free rein.
I hope the parents of his kids' friends have their ears to the ground.

A 16 year old could still be a school child starting year 11 and doing their GCSEs! No 30 year old should want anything to do with a school uniform wearing child.
This was obviously going to come out because there's no way you'd broadcast this and think it would land well.
