Sounds to me as if Brand also had something of a modus operandi (how appalling is it that The Sun called him "Shagger Of The Year" over numerous years?). Yay for creepy predators! Said no-one ever.
If you've seen the Bill Cosby documentary you'll know that he also gave hints on screen about his views on women and the boundaries he was happy to play with (Cosby was notably interviewed making a joke about drugging women on a chat show some years ago).
I've always found Brand try-hard, fake, idiotic, sleazy - why some women laugh along at his jokes demeaning other women I will never, ever know. It's baffled me for years. It doesn't matter if you find him physically attractive or not - just LISTEN to how he speaks about female kind. Are his audience really that lacking in self-esteem or clueless about what's appropriate? He is a tedious, preening bore - his eyes actually remind me of Charles Manson's.
(And no - I'm not saying that the women who have been assaulted and raped should take one iota of blame. Not at all).
Didn't believe he was capable of rape but I can sense he is manipulative, calculating and devious (remember the dick move when he posted the picture of Katy Perry without makeup? I bet that was to shame her and dull her sex siren image a little).
In the bin where you belong, it's been a long time coming, Russell Brand.
Some Keanu is always a welcome palate cleanser too
