For sure, I made the comparison without realising it didn't go to trial but I feel like it actually backs my point up more.I’m not defending him. I think they should have thrown away the key. But facts are facts and he can’t be used as a comparison when there was no trial. I hope the police are heavily involved in all of this and a fair trial will be held. I just hope this show and the media circus around it doesn’t negatively impact a trial
the old posts in here adding up…He’s grim. Many moons ago (2007) I went to one of his stand-up gigs at Wolverhampton Little Civic with some friends, and he sent one of his entourage out to the audience to pick out girls from the audience to go backstage. One of my friends was ‘selected’. Apparently he’s not very good and smells a bit like a damp towel...
Problem is Barrymore seems to have won over Gen ZOmg who needs enemies with “friends” like that ey! What a shining endorsement of personal conduct!!
Something that really concerns me is all that will inevitably come out about how he used recovery spaces to find victims. Sadly there was one in the Times article already, but she won’t be the only.
He's shown himself to be quite charming and charismatic at the start of a relationship. And it's well documented that they didn't spent a lot of time together while married due to them both travelling for work.What did Katy Perry ever see in him?
I saw the same in Glasgow. Matt Morgan went into the audience picking out girls to go backstageI can imagine his eyes going black and turning into pure evil

I know he's spoken out publically about the need for men to do more and speak out when it comes to predators. But he's right that if he can feel intimidated talking when there's no real consequence to him (a man who is not directly connected and already has his own established career), it really is no wonder female comedians don't feel like they can speak out beyond hintingWell done to Daniel Sloss for speaking out here. Mad respect to him.
Do you not believe them?I’m not even a mad fan of Russell but so far I think this is a very weak expose? Using old footage of his self confessed risqué past out of context is a bit low hanging fruit tbh. The piece about him urinating in a bottle.. who cares? Obviously if he forced himself on anyone that is appalling, but have any of these women actually gone to the police? I’m not sure how comfortable I am with this new this new thing of destroying someone’s life publicly through the media when there are courts and a justice system set up for that purpose. A lot of the old footage that they have now used against him was Russel owning who he is and being upfront about his past. It’s a bit unfair and convenient to be used in another context against him

If this was the case then wouldn't EVERY political pundit, government whistleblower and male influencer be facing serious crime allegations?
I think he’s a gross human and I’m no fan but it’s a super weak expose. He’s owned most of these stories for years and wrote about them in his own book. It’s not new. The story about the woman in LA is of course different and a serious allegation but otherwise I think they could’ve done a really good deep dive into sexism during that era, or focusing on the general comedy industry (which I originally thought the programme was about)I’m not even a mad fan of Russell but so far I think this is a very weak expose?
