As Russell stated in his book/autobiography My Booky Wook. How Russell as a child would lure his mothers little dog up the stairs, the dog wasn’t allowed upstairs and the dog knew that, so would slowly climb the stairs following Russells commands. When the small dog reached the top of the stairs, it would be weary! Why? That’s when Russell would then kick the small dog down the flight of stairs. Then run after the dog, calling it names and reprimanding the dog for going upstairs. I’m a huge dog lover, I love my dog so much. I can’t imagine what that little dog went through. Plus he wrote that book as an adult, included this story, because he thinks it’s funny. It’s not. If you take delight in harming vulnerable animals (including his poor treatment of his gerbils, which resulted in two of them dying) Russell growing up to be a abuser of women isn’t surprising to me.
Dam that's weird for sure 😳
A sign of psychopathy
Did he say he thought it was funny? Kids left alone can do things and not think it's cruel. Kids are cruel. They have to be taught otherwise. He was left alone alot as a child, then I'm his early teens taken to brothel's. I'm not saying what he did is right, not at all. He makes everything I to a joke. That's what comedians do. But you can't say he thought that was funny unless he said so
@@carolinecoy3164 A kid treating an animal like that, not even just once to see what happens or whatever, but repeatedly would be extremely concerning behaviour. Not your typical kid stuff, no matter what the kid is going through.
That’s straight up SICK! Psychopathy for sure
Russell Brand being a bad person is the least surprising thing I’ve heard in years
At least he used to be, he might have changed... but no one can deny how much of an asshole he used to be. The conspiracy theories can be true, but hey... with his past self.. it is easy to find skeletons. It might be possible that this specific allegations are bs, but holy molly he was an awful person. I think he has progressed a lot and his team asked him to go full Ashton kutcher with the murder case, but this is not healthy for him. He needs to fully redeem himself.
Notorious creep, so really not surprised. I remember one of the Minogue sisters calling him out for being rapey something like 10-15 yrs ago.
@@Mariet31People can change, but this particular type of behavior involving SA, as he is charged with, is extremely hard to treat. There is a low cure rate. In America, people with SA problems are not treated by family therapists. They end up seeing specialized therapists who only deal with criminals.They are forced after they have been through the court system and it is court ordered. They will not seek therapy on their own because of denial and because of disclosure laws. It has to be reported to authorities. I am skeptical of him changing.
@@ScreenfunfactsI think there is at least a possibility he upset a powerful person who took a long time to investigate and make an excellent case. Women do have fathers and other people who love them. People who might want justice if he actually did do something wrong like he is being accused of. A vulnerable woman is not always without defenders.
@@MoralWorldEaterThat is, per se, the accusation. And like OP said, it's entirely unsurprising.
Why do I feel like Brand is trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner in an infomercial?
OH MY GOD this. I literally just commented that he's giving Slap-Chop, As Seen On TV ad energy 🥲
Well, Brand has never been a very good actor 😅
Vision him being a prosperity gospel preacher. 🤔 I betchya he would've been good at it.
Yes, like his trying to convince you of something . His body language is over the top..😅 Buy this before we run out energy. He should of been pissed off if it was b.s.
I keep saying, Charles Manson vibes. He's always struck me as someone who'd love to start a cult@@James-tq8go
So, here's my issue with his response. He speaks (past and present) about how he use to be both an extreme opioid/drug/alcohol addict and sex addict. When people are on the world's most dangerous drugs, to the point of blacking out, how can one decry that all relationships were/are absolutely, unequivocally, consensual. How DOES he KNOW? You cannot... Especially with absolute certainty.
**EDIT** : I didn't realize that Brand claims to have been sober since 2002. I STILL question why he felt the need to bring up his 20 year old addiction issues, in this proclamation video. If his addiction(s) have no bearing on the current accusations, why does he bring them up? An excuse? As a shield? I feel like he's essentially saying 'I use to be these things. I've been honest about that. Therefore I cannot be a person who commits such heinous crimes.'
So, the addiction is relevant to Brand, at least. Why else bring them up?
💯
But does that mean he could still be "not responsible" because he would have lacked the mental capacity at the time to tell right from wrong?
@@jessicaleser8822 That's an issue for a sharper legal mind to debate than myself. Moral turpitude while intoxicated... Interesting.
I just don't understand how he can say he was 'blasted out of his mind', while simultaneously saying that *ALL* relationships/sex were between consenting parties. *HOW* can one make certain proclamation of this, while knowing you're beyond wasted. You couldn't... You wouldn't know.
@@zunisilverwolf very good point...he can never really know for sure what he did when in that state
Opiates don’t cause memory loss. Unfortunately.
I like a good conspiracy as much as the next cynic, but when I heard about the allegations I was reminded of a clip from years ago where he was pawing at and kissing an interviewer who was clearly uncomfortable, but trying to be a good sport about it for the camera. His behavior was very much the "Aren't I so naughty and charming teehee!" BS that was neither as funny nor as charming as he seemed to think it was. It was creepy, entitled, and gross.
Explains his failed film "career".
he was also fired from big brother twice for sexual misconduct
Wow that's one of the most horrific things I've heard someone admit to doing. Talk about disturbed, that is effed up!!
@@nicolelush6980
Really?
I never knew that.
They kept that quiet!
I remember him doing that with someone else too a long time ago. I think he was on a talk show but I don't remember the details. But he did the same thing and acted that exact same way. I think he may have even sat in someone's lap and was doing that if I remember correctly.
He always talks like this and uses his hands like this when he talks.
Perhaps you didn't include the content from his own channel when establishing your baseline, but he does the emphatic double-handed gestures all the time when talking directly to camera, which is the format of the majority of his videos.
Hey Logan, you usually set up a baseline of body language. I feel that would’ve been helpful in this case as Russel is a very over-the-top personality and would’ve helped us understand how he usually behaves in comparison of this video.
I agree with you, there’s no foundation. The title is odd as well. I think people forget that this is someone’s life we’re talking about. It deserves more care.
Likely there isn’t a baseline as he’s nearly always acting up when on camera! He does point out the head shaking when it supports what he’s saying
@@jennifermariejoycegive over - no one forgets he isn’t a real person!!
Well he does tells us he did watch his other videos to get a baseline. That's how he knew this was scripted.
@@brenda4085 He doesn’t actually explain the departures from Russell’s body language baseline. If you watch his other videos you’ll see that he always works from notes, always edits his videos. Neither of those details are suspicious on their own.
He has those darty, dagger, psychopath eyes 😳
They're even more terrifying if you meet him in person 😮
I don’t have any insight into Russell Brand or the allegations, however I do think this needs to go through an official process before he is convicted by the court of public opinion.
No chance of that these days. Just ask Mason Greenwood
I think the vibe is that if people don’t talk about then nothing will come of it, once the public forgets so do the police, politicians etc. and to treat him as innocent rather than guilty is (arguably) to condemn the accusers as guilty. Because if you think Russel brand is innocent, that means you think the accusers are lying and therefor guilty. Sitting directly in the middle ground and thinking nothing is impossible for people with thinking minds… and is also going to heighten inaction through the public’s apparent apathy to the whole situation… tough all round.
If Russel is innocent he can sue for liable and slander. He is a multi millionaire with the resources. If he doesn't sue = guilty
You have no insight yet you just provided some...weird
This guy removed his body language analysis of the gabby Pettito video traffic stop about a few weeks after he posted it. He was saying she was likely alive and well and hiding out because she’s embarrassed or something. So if you’re that wrong on body language you have no business speculating on anything.
He straight up “no” shook his head as he said “they were always consensual”
I saw this and was so shocked Logan didn't say that too!
Gee a possibly desynchronised behaviour. That always only means one precise and exact thing!!! Lock him up and throw away the key!!!
@@gargantuangouda605oh look, a wild stan!
Came to see if anyone else saw that too. Was curious why Logan didn't touch on that aswell.
oooooohh an amateur expert wow
The only issue I have an all this is his livelihood, being taken away prior to his guilt being proven. He’s got two children and his wife is pregnant. If he’s guilty, then great, cancel his income streams, but not before he’s been proven guilty. RUclips has demonetized him, his book release is halted, and his management/agency dropped him. Just because you’re accused of something, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to support your family in the meantime.
I came here to say the same thing. I, by no means, am saying he's innocent. But, has NOT been convicted in a court of law. In a complete opposite, Amber Heard WAS found liable of defamation with malicious intent for LYING about being abused, in a court of law and msm continued to support her. The double standard is nauseating.
It’s disgusting. “Journalists” have shared his home address publicly on top of this instant cancelation.
This video doesn’t help, unfortunately.
The TV programme made me think his management agency dropped him because they asked him about the 16yr old and he denied any sexual relationship …..but it’s obvious now there was a relationship when he was 31 and she was a schoolgirl!! Also …..he’s worth millions - his family are not in danger of poverty whilst this is investigated by police
@@practicallyperfect2941 That first part is speculation, no one can know that. Your second comment is extreme. The fact that someone has money in the bank does not justify destroying their ability to earn BEFORE any charges have been brought, let alone anything proven, or any convictions.
Allowing this to happen to an affluent person opens the door for it to happen to anyone. Killing due process is beyond dangerous.
@@jennifermariejoyce Exactly!!!! 👏👏👏
Used to watch him and still do appreciate his content on recovery and spirituality, but always got an uneasy feeling when seeing him. It’s subtle, the way where it only creeps up on you after you’ve been around it for a while. I watched interviews of him outside of his own channel and these were supposedly post his recovery and he was being completely degrading and inappropriate with the woman he was talking to. He also made videos on stuff that happened in my country and it was complete clickbait and doomsday content. Trusted myself after that in believing that he’s not being honest, lol. Hearing his own comments about how he’s treated animals really sealed the deal for me.
I think he’s a very smart guy but also very much in his “awakening” advertisment for the $$$. We need to stop the celebrity worshipping, including people who promotes something different like Russell Brand. None of us still know this guy, he’s as much a celebrity as anyone else. Just my opinion.
100%
I know what you mean by the subtle, uneasy feeling that creeps up on you. He always reminded me of an older cousin of mine who was sexually abusive. There's something about the way Russell carries himself, despite his erudition and eloquence, that gives off this uneasy feeling.
Right?!? I liked Brand’s book on recovery-but damn, why do people worship celebrities or politicians? I seriously don’t get it. Brand even admits in his recovery book that sex is an addition of his… all of this gives great pause especially given his behavior of late.
@@cualter Exactly! I think most of us who have been around an abuser know that feeling well, it’s like an internal alarm bell. Obviously I can’t say whether someone is innocent or guilty just based on that but it’s definitely something I’ve learned to trust myself on. Interesting to hear others have felt this way too.
@@megzmorbidcuriosities Yeah, he has some great work out there on addiction and recovery! But most abusers are also very likable in their public persona and we wouldn’t know what’s going on from the outside looking in, so it’s not like it would be anything new if these allegations were true. It’s pretty strange to see people who are so against the mainstream and establishment etc be such die hard fans of Brand. Like, do we not realize that just as mainstream media and news profit from our reaction to what they put out, so does Brand with all the videos he posts and all the engagement it gets him?
Dress it up however they like, everyone on a large public platform still operate under the same conditions. Some will do good and some will do bad, either way none of us should start to feel like we know them personally.
He has always had this sense of superiority. Using flowery language, twenty words when three will do. Mocking others and being dismissive. He has become a modern day cult leader as many like him do. It is scary to see how people flock to people like this, Tate, Rogan etc. especially when we have seen the power of cult leaders when they choose to outright harm.
Oh this is SO spot on. I've always felt very turned off by his whole persona and couldn't put my finger on why.
Lol. Rogan is not remotely like a cult leader. Have you listened to any of his shows?
lmao putting Rogan in this list tells me everything I need to know about you
The Rogan stans have arrived LOL
And what is wrong with Rogan? He invites people to his show to talk about their field of experise and perhaps we learn some things along the way. He only calls them out when he knows they're actively lieing. Sure he has apologized to the woke crowd a couple of times which was NEVER needed (totally bemused me) but that's about as bad as he has been.
If you can link to what you are referring to that puts him in the same "scary" category as some others I might understand your comment.
It’s insane how many people feel something off with him. I never saw anything out of place but I also grew up around a ton of addicts in different stages of their addictions and recoveries. He speaks like he’s not used to being understood/listened to/judged but knows how to speak. I noticed this a long time ago that he acts differently when addressing certain people and the people he’s actually fond of. Even in his movements.
Thing is, his Biography is FULL of admissions to bad things hes done in childhood and during his active addiction years (including mistreating women)...I feel like he'd also have admitted to this too?
@@gRinchY-op5vr if he had written that he had left a situation with the other person thinking they were abused by him, it could be taken as an open admission of guilt; like I’m talking legally only, so he wouldn’t do that. I actually wouldn’t be surprised however if he did write it all, and the editors removed certain ‘confessions’ before publishing. A lot of the problem hasn’t been Russell hiding what he’s doing, it’s been people laughing and clapping while he’s doing it.
Y'all always feel something is off only AFTER some ish like this pops up. What absolute sheep you all are. Use your brains at least sometimes sheessshhh 🤦🏾♀️
i only know him from when i was a kid and he was married to katy perry. i didnt like when she got with him , he always seemes gross to me
Yeah there’s nothing behind his eyes. Just a low simmering anger that seems like it’ll pop out at any second
Honesty is a pillar of recovery.......
I think these all took place before he got sober. You're right that having to lie to the world about this is going to be bad for his recovery, especially IF he's suppressed it mentally until now. Having read his autobio, his lack of sexual boundaries was definitely related to his own CSA, often perpetrators were victims but it doesn't absolve him.
People do a lot of nasty things against pillars :/
@@planetina5616 Victims actually rarely become perpetrators. That's such a hurtful myth. Most learn what NOT to do to others, ever. But because of this myth, many suspect there's a monster lurking inside and that they can never let onto what they experienced because this is exactly what people think.
@@valerielevasseur8674that is hurtful if untrue - I would point out that most people who commit horrible crimes have been a victim of something horrible themselves in childhood. Im not saying that most victims become perpetrators. Possibly where the myth comes from though, that link.
@@missbelle13222 valerielevasseur8674 is right, victims rarely become abusers and it's a myth that gets repeated without evidence. Accepting what someone who has been convicted of horrible crimes is quite foolish - these people tell lies all the time. One can hardly blame them for that because they're trying to get a less harsh sentence and avoid prison.
I thought that this was an open secret in the UK comedy scene and that female comedians would warn each other to stay away from him since he was a predator.
Yeah it was an open secret in the industry but has only come out publically now.
I think that's why it's much more of a shock to his American public
Wow, I never heard this. I am in the USA, so I guess that explains it.
Wasn’t even a secret. And there were open allegations of abuse, grooming, and misogyny reported on mainstream media. It’s why his movie career never took off. I think it’s being uncovered again because as a society we’re much more aware of how deeply toxic, even criminal, this type of behaviour was. We’re no longer rationalizing why we should ignore it, but why we need to confront it.
@@RealSigmaQueenI’ve never seen any reports about him abusing or grooming in mainstream media until now
“The relationships I was in, were always consensual” yes Russell, but the acts of sexual violence YOU perpetrated were NOT! Now discuss that!
This!! I was in a consensual relationship, but was still assaulted my my partner.
@@allisonfisher9304 I’m sorry this happened to you
After we discuss when YOU killed my dog
Have you been there? We do not even know if these women even exist. Just a media story so far.
YOU DON'T KNOW. None of us do. If he gets found not guilty, after going through the legal system. I would absolutely love to see people like you and your reactions. It's trial by media at this point! And people and comments like you and yours ARE the problem.
People are drawn to him I think because they see him as 'standing up' and speaking his mind. But he's a true narcissist, it's written all over him all the time. His OTT hand gestures are normal. He's always like this and to me it screams YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERYTHING I SAY BECAUSE IM IMPORTANT. Like someone waving across a room at you to get your attention.
Bingo.
Spot on, just look at his political leanings over the last ten years. Literally all over the place. Always been obvious the only thing he wants is attention
A true narcissistic personality has no empathy and RB has that in spades, all the work he has done as well as the help he has given to ex addicts. I don't think that he fits the profile of a narcissist.
@@b00ts4ndc4ts
Jimmy Savile did endless amounts of work for charity.
He ran marathons and volunteered as a hospital porter.
@@booboopriestess9321 I was talking about how he doesn't fit the profile of a narcissist and the reason why I know this is because I have seen it first hand, when the camera's aren't there and there was nothing for him to live up too.
You want weird, count how many times Russal blinks in his video....
What does the blinking/non blinking thing mean in body language terms?
We all blink don't we?
@booboopriestess9321 yeah of course, but Russell is not shown to blink once during the video... its either naturally freaky or intentionally done for some reason
@@SarahDouce
Interesting 🤔
I said this elsewhere….. There is a chance he thought he had consent. We as women can say no 100 times, about ANYthing, and basically be told “yes you do, you want ______.” Doesn’t matter what it is, dessert, going somewhere or sex. Giving up/in isn’t consent.
No sane man think's "no" is "yes". Don't lumber most of us with the few depraved ones please
If it’s not an enthusiastic “yes” it’s not consent… asking someone over and over until they say”yes” also isn’t consent, I learned that a couple years ago after I learned about coercion and realized my ex husbands took advantage of me when they didn’t have my consent, or I wasn’t even able to consent.
yes and no-if you say no at all nowadays it's supposed to be "NO STOP"-yet how many older couples say "i kept asking until she said yes" and they are married 50+ years? So many mixed messages. ANd I do think women NOW tend to look back and not be wholly comfortable with a decision made 10 years ago and so it becomes "assault" in their mind due to media influence.
@@monykalynf3604 yeah, it’s messed up. Once upon a time, in my lifetime (& I’m not that old) there was no such thing as a wife being raped by her husband. They were married, he, in a sense, owned her. Unfortunately, there are men who were raised in that environment and they are now having children. If a girl goes up in the same environment chances are she will look for the same in a partner. It’s about listening and breaking the cycle (I’m speaking broadly, not you specifically 🙂).
Defnitly doesn't make it right (not saying you are implying this) but between untreated mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse; diminished capacity most likely plays a role here. While we always hope for the best, it is possible that we encounter the worst. There are people that have come forward to state he accepted rejections on advances, many cases he had babysitters and witnesses but this doesn't mean it always played out that way. Due to this being a legal situation I doubt he would want to admit there may have been a grey area where he was too intoxicated to process things correctly or that he was on his best behavior and didn't wear someone down in a way he thought charming at the time. Memory is fickle and not being sober makes it worse.
It's a case where you hope the media is lying because the other option is worse.
He’s always given me the ick.
Dude was an addict back then, how does he know he didnt do certain things while blacked out? I hate when addicts talk with definitive language, like dude, you really dont know
I genuinely never liked him but couldn’t ever point out exactly why.
Same!! I never liked him or thought he was funny
Ya don't say. Gosh y'all are so fake
I rarely watched anything with him in it - I hated that he was always on the Big Fat Quiz because he just ruined it! He always acted like he was superior and more intelligent then everyone! Interestingly I’ve just remembered he always used to try get the audience on his side during that too
@@tiffanykim2773 why are they fake? Do you know that they previously claimed otherwise, at some point?
Thank you for the subtitles! I am very greatful. Your channel is easier to lip read than most, but I am always grateful for subs.
Comments like this are why captions should be required for all videos. Creators who don’t upload captions are lazy AF. It takes less than 5 mins to transcribe even an hour long video.
I'd like a review of which channels are easiest to lip read lol
@hazelcoodo4814 The channels that stare at the lens of the camera while talking. Usually non animated commentary hosts.
Captions are so helpful. I'm only partially deaf in one ear so I wear earbuds so I can hear everything.
I'm no body language expert but I feel maybe you have overlooked Russell's baselines. Exposed palms, pointing fingers, extremely expressive hand gestures.... after watching his channel for a long time, I see these as nothing more than his normal, baseline body language. I see understandable defensiveness, some anger, his natural tendency to a little (imo unattractive) arrogance but also some nervousness. To me, the nervousness could either be read as guilt or simply him being scared about the enormity of his current situation. The video jump cuts aren't in his favour, I agree.
I have never warmed to his personality, I'm not an avid fan but his documentation of the 'truth' has been nothing short of impeccable and weighing in my thoughts after following his videos and then seeing the documentary covering both the victims and the media's portrayal of this situation, I'm heavily leaning in Russell's favour.
@karinaleigh4509 Obviously wearing your "Russell coloured glasses"
in his eyes he looks terrified
agreed. he is holding his elbows closer towards his body (defense). his eyebrows are more angled in (worry, fear). overall, he is not showing the confident body language that he usually exhibits. and he seems worried, if not scared. jmho
These kinds of allegations are scary, even if someone knows they are innocent. Just look at what's happened to Julian Assange.
I don't think I saw him blink!!
Heard these allegations at least 3 years ago from people on the U.K. comedy circuit. He had legal protection. About time it came out
It’s been an open secret in UK since at least 2005/6!
The question is then why didn’t it all come out during MeTOO then? Just wondering did his name ever come up then and it was still kept hidden….
I don’t know what the truth about him is but my opinion or conspiracy theory is that the media and big pharmaceutical wants him gone. Lord forbid we ever think for ourselves.
he edited a part out, when he says always coonsensual, telling.
He doesnt even try to refute the claims, he just goes straight to creating an ingroup so that the people who support and agree with him can give themselves a pat on the back for being 'so smart'.
One of the first things he did in his video was refute the claims. You're even using the exact language he used. Observe... 9:20.
He literally said in his video he refutes the claims, what the fuck are you talking about?
That’s what annoys me so much about his content, he always says things like “you decide for yourself!!” but it’s after presenting things in a way where it’s fully setup that anyone who doesn’t agree with his take on things should feel like an idiot. 💀 It’s done in a clever way too since it’s clearly working on so many.
‘Think for yourself! Just know that anyone who doesn’t think the way I, we, millions of people here on this channel, think is an unawakened fool who can’t see reality for what it is!’
Lolol, the first thing he does is refute the claims. He even says the word "refute".
@@ralphiecifaretto8961He was smart to not even mention the claims. He’s more intelligent than his followers. I give this to him.
I have looked up to Russell on the issue of addiction, because I am a sober addict and his knowledge of the recovery process was genuinely inspirational and helpful to me. With that being said...we need to hear out these alleged victims, and I'll be honest, I would not be surprised if he had engaged in this behavior he's being accused of. He is a self-professed sex addict, former drug addict, and fame addict, and an extremely powerful figure. How could he possibly know that every one of his myriad sexual encounters at the height of his fame and power was absolutely consensual? Surely that's for his partners to weigh in on as well! He might have coerced people without even being fully conscious of doing so. Making it into some kind of conspiracy is taking himself way too seriously, imho. He ought to let a lawyer handle this and not speak up anymore and say more nonsense, that's my two cents.
I also found his conversations around addiction, particularly recovering from relationships helpful. Honestly, if these allegations are from when he fully in his addictions I don't know how he would be certain of his behavior.
The whole situation is nuanced. Why go after him now? These reporters put this story together and searched out these women. The women didn't take it to the police and court. No. This is about de-throning Russell. Is he perfect? no. He doesn't claim to be. What he is, is a pain in the rear to the Elites and Authority. That is why this was pulled together. That is the real story here.
Completely agree. And congrats on your sobriety.
Very well said! I completely agree!
He's intelligent enough to know all of this, y'know? I feel something is off.
In regards to the cuts it could also be he said stuff and then lawyers told him to cut it and edit it out
Didn't think about that... good point
That guy has always gave me the ick. He seems absolutely fine with crossing people’s firm boundaries and ignoring their wishes, to put it in every possible sense of that statement.
He has always, always given me a scary vibe. I don't have any valid reason for that that I can consciously detect, but I just always got that deep pit in my stomach feeling from him. I wonder now if it has to do with how intentional he is with his speech and body language- comes across as disingenuous
I agree, l couldn't watch him on t.v.
I would see him get close to audience members and start to feel anxiety for them.
I don't think l ever got that sensation with anyone else on TV, it was weird and unpleasant.
Same
I think he’s a more complex character than a lot of individuals covered on the channel. So many dynamics come in to play with someone who very publicly, had a battle with drugs. working hard to turn your life around, rebuild your brand and show growth as a human. Many people with a past feel like they are always trying to convince people that they aren’t the same person…. As well as defending the old version of yourself that you don’t even like.
He could also be guilty as heck 🤷🏻♀️ let’s let the evidence prove the truth. We’ve gone from not believing anyone, to believe everyone. Time to let evidence speak.
Good thing there IS evidence here bud.
Would love to see you analyze some of his more problematic interviews.
Good post!
Brand is always like this. The open palm hand-gestures are normal and so is the conspiracies around media. Pretty much every one of his videos for the last few years have been about red-pill conspiracies. I've never been a fan. But, I'd like to see how this plays out. Accusations and jump cuts are nowhere near enough proof to suspend a reasonable doubt. Studies have shown that the most dominant social bias is anti-male, so it is really easy to just believe his accusers. (Connor, Paul R., et al. “Intersectional Implicit Bias: Evidence for Asymmetrically Compounding Bias and the Predominance of Target Gender.” PsyArXiv, 25 Mar. 2022. Web.)
I appreciate that you left a source. Barely anyone takes the time and care to back up their statements. Thank you.
Roe v Wade was overturned, but yeah, you guys have a lot to worry about.
It's like he knew the curtains were gonna get pulled back soon and he pre-emptively was prepping his audience and narrative to head it off...
Elon Musk, Andrew Tate and Tucker Carlson support Russell. Enough said. Too bad. I actually used to like him.
I do believe allegations like this require investigations and due diligence but unfortunately what he is experiencing now is trial by social media and unfortunately its basically already been decided he is guilty even with little to no evidence
Same thing happened to Marilyn Manson…
There’s plenty of evidence. His sadistic treatment of animals alone sheds light on his character.
If Russel is innocent he can sue for liable and slander. He is a multi millionaire with the resources. If he doesn't sue = guilty
"When I was in the movies" - like the one he did for Paramount last year? Has anyone told Russell that Google own RUclips and are somewhat mainstream as well?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the cuts were made after his lawyer viewed the video. He is usually very open, so it’s likely he said things that the lawyer felt could be used or twisted in a negative way.
I think you’re completely right; his lawyer is an idiot if he thought keeping ANY of that in was a good idea 😂 but then it could be the same lawyer that writes threatening letters to his victims… you know, the kind only Russell could retain right now 😂
You know he hasn't been charged with anything, right?
@@ralphiecifaretto8961 I’m aware. I’m also aware that a police report has been made. I also believe in innocent until proven guilty. Even if not charged, hiring a lawyer to go through your responses would be the correct way to approach the situation.
@Chumpess_X Innocent people don't think the same way as guilty people and this is obviously completely political.
@@ralphiecifaretto8961 I agree with you, it’s political.
I feel like he’s always been bombastic, wild eyed and dramatic. That’s why I don’t know how to establish his baseline or really judge his body language beyond my own kinda intuition. But he’s innocent until proven guilty, to me. I listen to accusers AND the accused.
I only listen to the confusers and the confused!
You don't need too. That's what this channel is for and just hearing him talk, it's no different than other accusers
Deny claims (obviously) use own reputation as a weapon, deflect attention and world Vs me argument
Plus the actual four year investigation and the documentation of evidence
@@wukongsun6223 The monkey God has spoken. And the words are wise!
Of course he is defensive. He is being accused of something very serious. And of course it is scripted. He is allowing his advisors to guide him. He is taking it seriously and doing the best he can.
It's as if he thinks he can get away with it by being verbose, but charisma won't help him here. Found him to be preachy and disingenuous in recent years, can't believe I used to fancy him as a teenager 🤢. I was discussing with my brother whether his Sex Addiction is/was legitimate, or a way to excuse his predatory behaviour xxx
You didn't comment on it, but only commented on the micro no shake in the part after, but he also had a pretty big no head shake when he said "They were ALWAYS absolutely consensual" he shakes his head no pretty aggressively throughout that whole sentence. Its even stranger he is shaking no while using words that are affirmative like always and absolutely.
I am always so excited when a video comes up with your take!! ❤️ You come through for us every time with humor and skill
I never got on the Brand bandwagon even. He gave me the creeps and now I know why.
Same
Facts 💯
Quite a bit of his verbal and non verbal clues in video reminded me of the people I have met that bring people around to their side after doing horrible things by pushing this idea they aren’t fighting for themselves they are fighting for you. A attack on them is an attack on everyone. If we know we aren’t grapists then if someone can feel these accusations are applied to us then we aren’t as likely to go against the actual predator. My first stepfather was a predator so I had 8 years of up close and personal experience with this.
As a recovering addict myself…Unfortunately I’ve known quite a few men addicted to drugs and alcohol compounded by their unhealthy relationship with sex.
I do believe, in his mind, he thinks he has had totally consensual situations with these women. These types of men, unfortunately don’t understand consent like most people do. What they think is acceptable and appropriate is very twisted and skewed. It’s also possible that they don’t even remember reality the way that it actually happened.
he's a predator, we saw it in the very sad Mr. Sachs drama years ago
Yet again I LOVE seeing the moments where you cannot think of the word you’re searching for 😂
The pauses, hesitation and edits - are due to the instructions of his attorney's: he must not mention a massive list of words, terms, topics. You should have taken that in consideration.
His hand gestures drove me crazy….I’ve never seen anything like it. It seems like his hand gestures were to try and drive his point home. Idk, just strange to me
He always does that- nothing new
@@BB-ty6iy oh, didn’t know that. I don’t watch him, this was the first video I’ve seen of him
Yeah every video he is like this. To be honest he's so emphatic and OTT that it's hard to be able to read him.
Bro, all you had to do was watch a few of his other videos and you would have seen that his "base" line has always been consistent.
I was waiting fir your analysis to watch this entire video, Brand makes me uncomfortable and always has. I have to give credit for his openness about his struggles with addiction. Also if someone says “no” over and over and over until that say yes, that’s not consent. Coercion doesn’t equal consent. You need consent for every sexual act, including in relationships. If it’s not an enthusiastic “yes” that’s not consent.
I can’t stand conspiracy theorists especially in regard to Covid. I’m immunocompromised, disabled, and mostly home bound due to a terminal genetic illness so I’m still masking, getting boosters, and following the rise in cases. I usually won’t watch those types of people bc it enrages me and it’s just a waste of the little energy I have.
"Consent is like tea" should be in every school in every country. It's the absolute perfect metaphor.
Being a body language "expert" is on a par with being a medium 🤪😬🤥
Body language is a pseudo science. It's totally subjective.
I met him outside of a popular meeting spot once and I can say there's something off about him. Something in me was saying,"walk away from this person." And I couldn't quite figure out why.
This makes sense though 🤷🏼♀️
But nobody comment like this about Bill Cosby for years lol
The man strikes me as an aspiring cult leader. He's always given me those vibes that he's trying to form a cult.
They removed advertisements on Russell brand’s RUclips videos
10:14 I mean, he’s an actor, so he probably learned a lot from that. I really like his movies, but I just read about what he did to his dog, so I’ve lost all respect for him, and don’t doubt he could have treated people the way he’s been accused of
So you read about what he did to his dog as a kid. Did you read about his upbringing too? Mistakes people make as kids mean they'll always be a shitty person and will never come back from that? Taking accountability and being honest about your mistakes is a big red flag? You'd rather everybody hid their mistakes? That's the kind of shit narcisists do. It seems counter intuitive for someone that wants to abuse people to talk about times when they abused animals AS A KID.
@@gargantuangouda605
You seem triggered. Relax.
@@gargantuangouda605 Abusing animals isn’t some little oopsie we all did as kids just because we were going through something ourselves.
Admit that you tortured animals as a kid without saying it....
You do sound really triggered and supportive of animal abuse @gargantuangouda605
Personally, I agree when a child starts treating an animal badly there could well be an underlying adult problem. He can mask, and possibly uses
clever language traps and body postures to capture his fans minds.
Some of you really need to learn how to think for yourselves and do some independent research … this comment section is sad to me, Russell Brand and allegations aside, too many of you are alarmingly comfortable and happy to be spoon fed your rage and the reasons you should feel that way (while feeling you somehow have a knack for reading people and “knowing” things others don’t because you watch videos like this… you’re only fooling yourself)
Hey Logan! Glad to see you are back. I was thinking about you earlier, hoping for a video soon.
He ends it with “do your own research” every single comment against him: I didn’t do my research but here’s my opinion 🤣🤣🤣
How coincidental that he got married the same year as the me too movement. Seems like a "look over here, and not over there" situation. the hand motions are over the top, as if he's trying way too hard to convince. Not saying he SA'd anyone, but he admitted to being a s3x addict back then. most addicts lack self-control and make poor decisions that's just a fact, so it wouldn't be shocking imo. Js.
I agree.
That didn’t stop anyone else married or with somebody. I’m more inclined to think there’s an agenda to shut him down.
@@caroroj2395By whom?! You think he has any clout? He’s able to instigate a revolt? Governments are scared of RB? You’re beyond delusion
@@NG-wx4kw Whats beyond delusional is you believe everything mainstream news feeds you - you're just repeating what the news says rather than critically think for yourself. They lying or kept this in their back pocket to shut him down later when he said something they aint with.
@@NG-wx4kw 6 million followers on RUclips says Yes he can have people thinking beyond what they are fed...BBC just got their cover blown by their little commie tactics.
I mean, he's always had the Charles Manson stare to coincide with his superiority complex, so the news doesn't surprise me.
I was on the fence about Brand until I saw the comments about him abusing a dog, and then saw some video footage of how he touches women in public. Imagine what went on behind the scenes. Gross.
Even with his old stand up his very animated with his hands and arms I've never really liked him always got a unsettling energy and vibe off him. And now with all these brave women coming forward I'm wondering if I was picking up on his dark aura and motives
Liked this analysis. When I watched Russel's video this morning I had an odd feeling but couldn't quite place it. He's always been a bit manic so I could never watch too much of him without getting exhausted, so I wasn't sure how that might affect his baseline and my perception of him. hmmm
I agree. I watch his RUclips channel but have a hard time following sometimes because of his quick, manic speech. He exhausts me too so I can’t watch his long videos.
I agree too that’s important to be familiar with his baseline. I’ve learned that from the Behavior Panel. lol
That is the right word: exhausting
I thank you so much for keeping the brain loading moment in. I'm not going to guess your age but once I turned 40 things fell out of my head or I got really good at hiding them. I feel less alone.
My ROM is full and I'm buffering😊
Yeah, its a thing 😅 .... Its all still there and you know you know it, but what on earth is it 🤷🏻♂️
Then a while later you get a rewind moment and the knowledge returns, but the moment has passed where it was usefull 😂.
I think it's an adhd thing for logan? I recall him mentioning it at some point... either way it's very relatable as an adhd person myself, been having those moments my whole life 🤣 - although they've become more frequent as I get older, think my head became more full and had more responsibilities to juggle 🫠. Having other conditions also made them worse, pain & fatigue really zap brain power, but at least since diagnosis 3 years ago age 25 I've been on adhd meds and it's honestly night and day between pre and post diagnosis - but I still have brain buffering when too many thoughts are going on or my working memory gets zapped 😅
It was so relatable 😭 I appreciated that as well
BAH! I'm 46 and I OWN my brainfarts :D
Sobriety and spirituality is very nice, but as a former female in recovery, I'll say that just because someone is 'sober' that doesnt mean they wont try to manipulate you into their bed or push for something when you tell them up front that you dont want it.
Nothing new of what was known about him in England. I guess Americans are only realizing it since you only have known him a short while.
Yeah, I hear the internet doesn't cross the ocean.
@@gargantuangouda605
Ooh edgy 😂
Ooh glad to see this up today I watched the channel 4 documentary "in plain sight" just last night and I've been thinking about it since so this is perfectly timed 🙂✌️
Russel can still be guilty even if the media have motives that aren't about justice or honour...
Thank you for this analysis.
what I got out of Russell's video is fear and desperation. Now is it fear of the truth coming out or fear of being canceled or both, I dont know. But he is desperate for people to believe him.
Yep.
I'd feel fearful and desperate in these circumstances, whether I were guilty or not. Wouldn't you?
@@JagoffCitizenno. I'd be furious- RAGING, actually - and... no, just angry. In his situation, my financers are happy and the only thing at risk is my reputation. So I'd be very pisssssssssed.
@@Loki_K Then I don't think you are aware of the kind of power the people he is up againt have. He has pissed off some of the most powerful people on this planet. And it's getting real now. His reputation is the least of his worries at this point.
I first saw this video of Russell a couple of days ago and was surprised and not surprised . I remember when his career started off and he was not the type in the public eye to behave much. There seemed to be a line that he usually did not cross talking on stage about women and the drugs he used . This causes a blurred line in my ideas that although he would jokingly talk about women and drugs and he was open about both but when one ( Russell or anyone ) has drugs in their system they do not behave the way they usually would .
Now maybe the women coming forward about Russell now are telling the truth and Russell is not in the same mindset he was while he was with these women to remember or even wants to remember that he treated a woman with disrespect as to take advantage of a situation .
I do know in recent times that Russell is now a dad and becoming a dad changes everything about who someone is and although it is not and should not be a "get out of jail" card... it does make me reflect . All and all If he is guilty than he needs to serve his time just like any other famous man that has used their situation to take advantage over another person sexually or physically abusive . Thank you Observe
💯
How much drugs did the ladies take willingly at the time also and do things they may not have done sober, did he take advantage maybe not because he was out of his mind also at the time.
Ok no excuses but he may not even remember what happened fully, some musicians have found out they are father's with out remembering honestly, consensual at the time by both parties but do they remember..
We shall see we need the proof
Years later after the Me Too movement.
@@tabitha4135 hard drugs don't stop your ability all the time, read some books on the musicians who just took multiple drugs at the same time, so they get the feeling but also able to function. Even alcoholics do the same drink heavily to remove feelings then other items to be able to function Infront of the public
I studied body language and find this fascinating because the body ABSOLUTELY has "TELLS", at the 10:37 mark when Russell says the nature of his sexual relationships were CONSENSUAL he very slightly shakes(microshakes) his head "NO", wow!!!! Russell should have been advised by this legal team not to do this video..
Thank you again for another great video 👍
Great video!
The comments under this Observe video seem to be much more intelligent and involve a higher degree of critical thinking than the comments I've read under other videos on RB.
Cheers from Australia 🥰
Agreed. Much of the online debate is dominated by Brand's followers or 'awakened wonders'. Ironically, they claim Brand's being tried by media whilst they make libellous and nasty statements about the women who have made the allegations.
Russell Brand's body language and vocal tones seem similar to what I have seen before. He believes what he is saying which is not to say he acted appropriately with any of these women. Mr. Brand's past deficits in comprehending consent is documented in his 2007 and 2010 books.The animal abuse in his first book, even though he was not an adult, seems especially cruel and oddly clueless. These animals were weaker, smaller and had much less power than even the child version of Russell Brand. The women in Mr Brand's self-admitted promiscuous life, were probably weaker, most likely smaller and definitely had much less power than Mr. Brand. Mr. Brand is/was preparing a third book for publication, was on a publicity tour and recently announced he was 21 years sober. That no doubt got the media more focused on him, not his podcast. I hope that Brand and his lawyers try to settle this out of court. It would be kinder to the victims, and perhaps would even teach the 48 year old adult that is Brand the definition of and behavior relevant to consent.
But also, and this is not to make a statement on whether the media is or isn't corrupt, but when you spend your time online attacking journalists' integrity (and not like tabloid rag reporters, I mean real journalists with standards and professional fact checkers), they're probably going to get pissed off and start digging. Not a group of people you want to piss off if you've got something to hide.
*Deficits in comprehending consent* is a fancy phrase for sexual assault. Legally & otherwise. Paying off women for the lifelong trauma he caused does not right this wrong. And taking accountability in a book does not absolve criminal behavior. *He belongs in prison.*
And he does not deserve the level of respect you're giving him. Stop. You're literally pointing out that he's made a ton of money off of the people he exploited. This is not just a civil issue, it's a crime. This is not just something you can throw money at, it's a crime. He didn't just make mistakes, he's a criminal.
Im gonna go out on a limb here and say that a self confessed drug addled sex addict probably shouldn't be trying to make himself innocent, and should probably just apologise to these women for being an absolute predatory freak.
Just to add to the list of things people are finding creepy and off-putting about him, he uses the word "baroque" to describe the allegations. What?
is he the russell that was with katy perry? didn’t she say about him then??
Always got a weird vibe from this guy
I was looking for comment like this and was suprised I had to scroll quite a lot. Sometimes you can just see it
You got a weird vibe from the recovering drug addict. I'm so surprised.

I'm in recovery, but at no point have l ever behaved in a sexually inappropriate way with people.
Your 'El Chapo on vacation' shirt makes ME feel suspicious.
Discovered Observe during lockdown and missed it when you took time out. After losing track I’m glad to be back on board again now you’re back to full observational power. Always compared your stuff to the behemoths that are Behaviour Panel and find you to be just as good in presenting ( if not better) and analysis. Best wishes, an idiote.
7:43 he is very good at what he does. His teleprompter scrolls the main point and the talking is on him. This is why it seems non scripted. The message is all him.
This seems to be a Hollywood trend... but I support him.
Someone who was heavily into drugs and alchohol and often in an altered state knows that he always got consent? Really?
Been waiting for you to do exactly this.
I have been watching Russell for the past 6 months or so. He goes HARD at a lot of politicians and US policy.
I have no idea what he did or didn’t do, but the timing is very suspicious.
Could be a way to shut him down because he is calling out the wrong people.
Just my opinion, but I feel like this is all a smear campaign.
Not sure this comment will even stick around. But it’s definitely something to think about.
Absolutely agree - that’s the first thing I thought of when I wokeup to 6 articles in a row talking about him .. crazy stuff!! He says a lot of things the higher-ups are trying to keep people from talking about so openly. Its all just been a matter of time… I knew it was coming sooner than later
He has multiple cuts in this video. If he can't say he always had concent without having to splice pieces together, theres an issue there. He's always been a misogynist. Him being promiscuous has nothing to do with FORCING/SA women.
It does have something to do with it if he was a promiscuous drug addict because they're painting a picture of the kind of person who would do those horrendous things and you've been caught hook line and sinker. For example, you can't see one cut without thinking it's because he must have admitted to the crimes unintentionally and must have needed to cut it out... That's like the only reason for putting a cut in that exact place. OR maybe it's because he divulged information about the accussers and that's not appropriate. Or maybe it's because he farted after he said it. Or maybe it's because his lawyer wanted him to not say something in particular. But yeah, you're probably right... admitted to his crimes and had to snip it before he posted it. Definitely don't let the actor do a second take of a "scripted video" that's full of cuts that look kinda sketchy. We'll leave up the snipped one.
Or maybe, just maybe he has to take a break to chill out, to avoid saying anything that might be additional ammunition to be used against him. Say he does pop off in a fury during his response video. Then the media would spin it as a violent or dangerous psychotic s abuser. Can you imagine how infuriating it would be to be accused of S/A when you were innocent?
He actually confesses to his crimes in books and interviews. Remarkable he wasnt shut down years ago. Notice how no female has come to his defense. Speaks volumes.
They have. On discussion segments & when approached by the journalists compiling the accusations. I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty but your last statement is incorrect.
What crimes did he confess to?
"I'm a little bit suspicious that he isn't telling us everything." He does quite literally say that he doesn't want to get into it any further due to the serious nature of the accusations.
Regarding his potential scripting and the deliberacy of his denials, he is most definitely and blatantly denying the accusations. As a skilled performer and communicator, I'm not prepared to equate deliberacy with insincerity in this case.
Regarding his hand gestures, I'd be inclined to say that they're pretty consistent with the rest of the videos I've observed. Granted that as a performer he may have trained himself to be more deliberate with his gestures, the extent to which he uses them and the two hands varying between gesturing in and out of sync with each other, could this not be indicative of him being a natural "hand talker?"
When he said it seems apparent to him and shifted to it feeling as if, that hesitation to me seemed natural in this context. He's often spoken about his own biases and his proclivity to be distrustful of government and media, as though he thought he had a responsibility to be upfront about this as he presents his opinions. The hesitation and the change in phrasing would seem to be consistent with that declared train of thought.
Now I could be wrong in my take. I'm not a communications expert, and I am definitely biased whereas Brand's messaging appeals to me. I would only say to that, that you have demonstrated some level of bias at least in regard to his comedy routines contrasting with a modern resurgence of questioning what is and isn't acceptable to speak or joke about on stage. He comes across as being neurotic and sincere in my eye. If he's insincere, I would suggest that he's quite potentially sociopathic in order to maintain such a tightly knit and consistent facade. To quote Russell himself, however, "but that's just what I think."
How come when you inform people of the truth, people come out with allegations from over 20 years ago?
I don't know what truth you're talking about, but most of the time, when people say they were assaulted twenty years ago, it turns out that it's because they were assaulted twenty years ago.
@valerielevasseur8674 ...lol Exactly right! As if they'd put themselves through the endless vitriol, from his cognitively dissonant fan base for no reason!
While I never liked him I am considering him innocent untill proven gulty. He is an annoyance for a lot of people in powerful positions... Not sure what to believe atm.
I watched someone react to this earlier and my first impression was that his gestures and demeanor were aggressive and stressed me out. I’m coming from a place of someone who has never liked him, but the hand gestures were really uncomfortable
love the subtitles 💜
Are we expecting people not to be defensive in the face of these kinds of allegations?
Yes
Yes. If I know I didn't do anything, I have nothing to defend.
@@Itsunclegabby Spoken like someone who's never been falsely accused. What you're saying is if you get arrested for a crime, you wouldn't use a lawyer because magically the court would know you're innocent.
There are so many innocent people in prison who would not appreciate that idea
