  • in a recent video, Russell Brand flat out denied the allegations brought against him in the media and in a documentary featured on Channel 4's "Dispatches.” But what do his body language, facial expressions and word choice reveal? And most importantly, what can we learn from a person with a lifetime of experience public speaking? Find out now!

    It's frustrating that everyone has to stand for either Brand, or for his accusers, and no one can simply stand in support of a fair, impartial, open, and objective system of justice. In my country, we have a famous list of wrongful convictions: Donald Marshall, David Milgaard, Guy Paul-Morin, Steven Truscott, Thomas Stephenow, and more. These names are familiar to every Canadian, and those cases used to be an embarrassment for our justice system, because they were considered a mistake by the imperfect application of an otherwise fair system. Now we have many people in government and other institutions stating that wrongful convictions are an *acceptable* *feature* of this new way that justice is done. That attitude will only lead us to ruin.

      Fellow Canadian here that agrees with you. Those names you highlighted paints a picture of a not so long ago past. Negligence within the judicial system happened, which sadly leads to a number of injustice and unfair convictions at times. However, in these times, the judicial system is being used as a tool for censorship by the ruling elite to stifle any form of dissent. *They did it to Julian Assange...*

There's been no charges, just allegations made by unidentified complainants, so it doesn't look like he's going to get his day in court to defend himself. Remember Johnny Depp and Amber Heard......seems there are people out there that who do lie so innocent until proven guilty seems like it might be a far more fair way to go.....oh and wait, isn't that the supposed ethos of the western world.

    The truth most likely lies somewhere in the middle of all that. The fact that he always was promiscuous and open about it doesn't absolve him of any wrong doing, but it also puts him in a vulnerable position. And, as you said, anyone who felt were abused should absolutely be able to come forward at any time. And we should leave the verdict with the justice system. It is very worrisome and dangerous that anyone could decide to accuse someone and have the media to take this so very publicly before any verdict. It's a type of power that, put in the wrong hands, can destroy not only reputations, livelihoods and families, but also the very core of our justice system, in my humble opinion. Thank you for your balanced perspective.

    When RB started on RUclips over 10 years ago doing "The Trews" he was a very different individual. It was very relaxed, informal, lots of slouching on sofas talking to camera. Not very expressive or animated. He didnt even speak particularly quickly.
    This new creation, Russell Brand 2.0, is geared fully towards capturing attention and holding it. The quick cutting which makes his videos look like he doesnt need to draw breath between sentences, his manic, shrill, urgent delivery, his wild gesticulating.... its all a well rehearsed ploy to suck people in.
    One other person always comes to mind when i think about Russell transformation. Adolf Hitler. He carefully concocted a powerful voice for speeches. Started slow and finished with a crescendo of shouting and gesticulating. All an act to bring people along.

    • @piperpan5516
      @piperpan5516 Год назад +31

      Because people are allowed to be interviewed and make claims as to their experience. They are not obliged to lay charges and go through the experience of a court process. They can publicly make claims about what their experience was. Russell can also publicly deny that these things happened. He has not actually done that. What he has done is say the 'relationships' were always consensual, he has not stated that all interactions and actions within those relationships were consensual, nor that the women are lying. He has been advised to simply ‘refute’ the claims without actually addressing them specifically. That’s the game of Law.
      What it's looking like is that some of Russell's past behaviors have caught up with him from when he was exceptionally lusty and not exactly in control of his instincts.
      If he wants to he could take the women to court and try to sue them for defamation, however, to do that he would have to prove that what they are saying they have experienced is not true and factual. The women were in relationship with Russell years ago and what the women are talking about is behaviors during those relationships which were not cool for them.
      To talk and lie about their experiences would potentially put them at legal risk. It's not likely they are lying, rather simply testifying to their experiences, however, they could be. The story is that it was known for some time that there were particular women who had had bad sexual encounters with Russell, however, these journalists had to pull it together.
      Russell has been badmouthing media and thus journalism and taking the high ground regarding 'questioning'. Russell beckons attention and takes the high ground with very generalized criticism toward mainstream media. It appears a few journalists have decided to expose something of his questionable behaviors in the past with women by bringing them together for interviews on Dispatches, a show that reveals things.

The fact these allegations skipped over the law and went straight to the media paired with the particular topics that brand discusses on his channel make this all very suspicious. Most people arent saying hes innocent, theyre just saying that something is fishy about the way this all came to be. I think Brand did a great job pleading his case to his viewers.

I don't really like the guy, he annoys me after listening to him for a while, but he is highly intelligent and has some similar views to my own due to me experiencing some of the medias exceptional editing of footage and interviews of myself and friends to suit their own narrative and changing the context. He's dragged himself out of those crazy times with the drugs and addiction etc, got married and settled. It fucking sucks that it all comes back to get him after he's worked to change what a dickhead he's been in the past. I'm curious what the outcome will be now.

Until he is charged with a crime it is just accusations and speculation, which does not prove anything. Whichever way it goes, I just hope truth prevails.

      Did you know that women are better at detecting masking/showy people than men? This is because more parts of the average female brain fire up when met with a person who seems fake or insincere.
      One study found that women were better at identifying men who were lying about their feelings. Women were also better at detecting men who were trying to manipulate them.
      Another study found that women were better at identifying men who were likely to be abusive in relationships. Women were also better at detecting men who were likely to cheat.
      These studies suggest that women have a natural ability to see through masking/showy people. This ability may be due to the fact that women have evolved to be more sensitive to social cues. Women may also be more likely to pay attention to nonverbal cues, such as body language and facial expressions.
      Here is an example of how this might play out in real life:
      A husband and wife go to a work party. There they meet a great guy, well that's what the husband thinks.
      When in the cab home the wife says you know, i did not like Mrx. Her husband says he is a great dude. two weeks pass and this great guy has been hitting his girlfriend and stealing money from his grandma.
      In this example, the wife was able to see through the man's mask and identify him as someone who was not to be trusted. She may have been able to do this by paying attention to his nonverbal cues, such as his body language and facial expressions. She may also have been able to pick up on subtle changes in his tone of voice or his word choice.
      Of course, not all men are masking/showy people. And not all women are good at detecting them. However, the research suggests that women have a natural ability to see through these people more often than men.

      What’s really terrible is that the people that make false accusations are really and truly HARMING the ones who’ve been abused. The reason I’m inclined to believe Russell is that I’ve read his book and listened to his talks about recovery. When I first was exposed to him, I honestly could not stand him!!! But, I’ve seen him be very open and honest about recovery and sought to do amends with those he’s harmed in the past. I find it hard to believe these issues weren’t addressed by himself and his sponsors when he started living an and practicing recovery. I don’t think the man is perfect, but he certainly hasn’t seemed to be the person to hide from his responsibilities/wrongs.

    Thank you for this even, very level analysis! I have to preface this as saying I’m not a Russell Brand follower- he’s way too manic for me and watching him wears me out. I do agree with many of the things he says though about the media and such. Yes, due to his drug use he could very well be remembering the encounters differently from how they happened. And again the alleged victims could also be remembering the encounters differently too. I wouldn’t be surprised one way or the other. What I do find concerning is that the narrative says that his behavior was a well known secret in Hollywood. Why didn’t someone speak out then? Why didn’t someone speak out when we were hearing about Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby? Why now? The timing makes it suspicious to me. And then there’s the thought of who knew about this and why didn’t they say anything? Kinda makes them accomplices.

    I will not say I believe 100% that he is innocent. HOWEVER, this very obvious collaborated effort on the media's part to shut him down (not conspiracy, its a fact) makes me lean towards his innocence.
    Even this video had a strike and Spidey couldn't run ads on it, which is so stupid. Spidey is not the only RUclipsr that has been penalized for sharing any content related to this at all.
    I'll put it this way: if the media was fair about these accusations, and people weren't literally getting struck by social media algorithms just for talking about this subject, I would be 50/50 on this matter until the truth has been brought to light.
    But ppl need to seriously question why people aren't even allowed to have a conversation about this before charges have even been made.
    Freedom of Speech is under attack, and I fear this is just the beginning. At least Spidey was able to post the video, but not allowing for ads will make this video get a lot less views than it should.

    Spidey you did an amazing job with this analysis. I also felt his denial was confident, but you brought things into my awareness that I hadn't even noticed, you are BRILLIANT!!!
    That said, a lot of ppl in this comment section seem to want to judge him for his past and I don't think that's fair at all. As a former addict myself (won't say what I was addicted to) I think it is disgusting for anyone to accuse former addicts of atrocious criminal behavior just because of their past.
    He hasn't even been charged yet, and people want to say this and that, truly horrifying to me. Guys, people still struggle with addiction, and you making them out to be these menaces is going to make it harder for them to want to recover.
    That said, I am PROUD of his personal development and growth. I used to think he was grotesque, but the man he has become is so far removed from the man I saw in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" that in my eyes he is very much brand new, and has been a new man for quite some time.

      I strongly disagree; having struggled with addiction gives you a better perspective. Brand was once a wounded and self destructive man. Many people think that having addictions means being an aggressive violent person, which is most often not true. People struggling with addictions are often sensitive people that use the addictions to numb the pain of overwhelming unprocessed emotions. Brand is a different man now. The work he does is a testimony to his inner work and his love and compassion for others. He initially suffered great losses speaking up and was ridiculed. P.S. I’m a somatic therapist and part of my job is reading people’s character structures.

    I love your analysis and you are the first person on RUclips to remain totally neutral in your presentation and that's how it should be. So many people have convicted Russell Brand for life based off of the media! Equally others have invalidated the complainants by making it all about the media. I personally admire Russell Brand for how he turned his life around and for his courage in speaking out against corruption. I do believe the media have a hidden agenda to silence him but that doesn't mean the accusations aren't valid. I actually work in trauma recovery from sexual violence. Consent is a very ambiguous concept and it's something that should be talked about more openly in public forums because honestly there are scenarios were consent can be wrongly assumed especially when drugs and alcohol are added to the mix. I'm not excusing wrong behaviour, I'm just saying that subtle signals can be missed when someone is drunk. People need to learn to verbally get consent! I remember in the good old days 😅😅 that if a guy wanted to kiss a gal he asked for her permission first! He didn't just lunge towards her and hurl his lips against hers....this is normal behaviour in today's society....people assume that just because they're experiencing chemistry, so is the other person, instead of saying 'Would you mind if I gave you a kiss?'. Anyway, my point is the same as yours. I believe Russell believes he always had consent.... but that doesn't mean the complainants did consent. I also believe that the mainstream media do want to take him down and this disgusts me because the media are exploiting these women to meet their own ends. This case is for the courts to decide and nobody's reputation should be destroyed so quickly and so publicly without due course.

    He has always been very conscious of his appearance and over the last decade I have watched him try to present himself as a quasi-Messianic figure, in the way he dresses and speaks to his audience, at times it has felt pretty creepy and made me recognise elements of various cult leaders, just to a lesser extent.

    What is strange is that he starts by claiming he’s received letters attempting to silence him him and to stop him appearing at some festivals, that he shouldn’t be allowed to attack the mainstream media, and that the specific allegations are somehow added to a lot of other stuff aimed at silencing him.

They would certainly prove his point and cause an uproar if they were an attempt to silence him- that would be a kind of blackmail. it’s more likely the letters are informing him of the content of the documentary before it’s aired and the documentary was focused on allegations of sexual misconduct. That’s why I’m sure RB was trying to control this narrative with this statement and to convince his followers that he is being attacked for his views not his (alleged) actions before they see for themselves.

    I like the sea change around situations like Brand's, as reflected in the comments below. I think the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation case made people pause around these accusations. It is always essential to take an accuser seriously enough to thoroughly investigate the allegations. Still, with Depp, many people online AND in media outlets automatically sided with his accuser, Amber Heard, and assumed he was a wife-beater. It turns out that not only was that not true, but the abuser (physically, emotionally, and mentally) turned out to be the accuser while Depp was actually the one who was abused. Some mainstream media outlets stood by Amber regardless of the evidence and the outcome of the defamation trial. However, the public seemed to have learned from that trial: Believe the accuser to ensure an investigation happens, then wait without judgment until the case is over. That is a massive step toward embracing the legal status of "Innocent until proven guilty." I don't know if Brand is innocent or guilty. Are these his victims, and he was too drugged up to remember that he forced himself on them? Or are they the new Amber Heards and trying to make money from the one-night stands they had years ago? Only an investigation will let us know. So we wait.

      Yeah that's all true. Whether these allegations have any merit to them at all, one thing I have no doubt of, Brand was targeted. They LOOKED for something to hang him with. This was absolutely a hit job either way. Whether because he's wildly successful and taking their place as a news source, or because what he's speaking about is enlightening people to the corruption among our federal government. (Probably both.) But he speaks the truth and backs it up with evidence. Which I massively respect. I don't even have to agree with him on every political topic. One thing I will say, I saw the alleged text from one of the "victims" and even in that text she's not claiming he raped her. She's alleging she had made it clear to him in their prior sexual encounter that she wanted him to wear a condom, and that this current time he didn't, agaisnt those wishes. If this is true I can imagine a few scenarios how this might have went down, but either way this clearly isn't the same as penetrating a woman's orifice against her will. (As the media is spinning it.) And that's not to say that if he chose not to wear a condom against her wishes that it's ok. Just that rape as we all recognize it, is something much more sinister and evil than what she's alleging. I don't know what sexual assault the other girls are alleging. But I do know that our current vernacular defines sexual assault to be something as small as putting your hand on a woman's lower back uninvited. So I'm taking that specific term with a grain of salt. Anyway, to your point Hollywood is full of creeps and people who've done heinous things. But the way it works now is that as long as you walk the politically correct line and repeat the accepted talking points, the media isn't going to look for ways to hurt you. That's a fact.

Then proceeded to actually say that the killers should have raped some of the girls before finishing their plan. He actually freaking said that. And he wasn't joking. And yet somehow this man is beloved by our media and gets a pass. I can't imagine that has anything at all to do with the fact that he repeatedly states the mainstream talking points, and unapologetically identifies as woke.

    He is scared and so he should be. I believe it’s time to pay the consequences for his past behaviour. Period. He is just going to have to deal with the outcome whatever that looks like. Can he honesty say that he NEVER did or said anything that hurt anyone? I doubt that very much. Part of healing and recovery from the disease is making amends to those they have harmed in ANY way. If he is still in such denial and isn’t able to acknowledge any responsibility for his past behaviour than I’m afraid he is NOT in recovery.

They are usually extremely honest, sometimes to a fault. Sometimes their habit of avoiding eye contact can be seen - incorrectly - as a sign of guilty feelings by people who don’t understand the origin of the behavior. Neurodiverse folks often avoid eye contact with everyone at all times because it’s overwhelming to them.
      Sociopathy, on the other hand, usually indicates someone lacking in empathy, who lacks a conscience, and who are very manipulative. They lie extremely easily because of those things, and it’s hard to tell that they are lying because they don’t display the signs of stress others show while lying. They are often quite likely to stare you right in the eye while lying.

    As someone who has also had a period of extreme promiscuity in the past, I can speak a little about that lifestyle. When you are promiscuous, you have or develop skills that allow you to read the atmosphere and various microexpressions. You almost develop a sort of radar that helps identify those who are going to be more open to your advances.
    However, for balance, it is also true that individuals who are receptive to the promiscuity of others tend to be hypersexualized themselves. It has been my experience that when activities occur in those encounters that are outside the normal range of things, it has always been the other person who puts the suggestion of "naughtier" activities into play in the game of flirtation.
    I am a very open and accepting person; people feel they can approach me without hesitation. I can also present whatever various faces I need to in any particular situation. I can say with full confidence that I have never suggested that "we" do anything in particular or try something a bit more naughty. For instance, some people fantasize about a little rough play. Some are the pushers, and some are the pushies.
    It is not unusual for someone who has always fantasized about wanting some aggression to later reflect on it and decide they don't like it. It made them feel vulnerable or unsafe. But that is the risk each person in casual sexual encounters takes and must own their part in.
    I would actually enjoy some verbal repartee with RB. It would be interesting to pick and poke at him to see if I could get him to react first or if it would be the other way around.
    My superpower has always been that I can read men extremely well. It's a natural ability I've developed over time that began at a young age.
    I get no sense that Russell has ever hurt anyone or forced himself, no matter how high or drunk he may have been. I see in him the type of person who just wants to enjoy sex and intimacy because it feels good in the moment, because he's met someone else who wants to join him, and because they can. It is no more complicated than that. It's not for everyone, but that doesn't mean it's aggregious behavior, harmful, or "bad" for those who do. People in general confuse "sex" and "love,", believing they are or should be the same thing.
    Sex is something you do because you can, because it feels good, and because it's fun to do. Being in love, making love, and sharing that deeper connection with another person is entirely different from sex; sex is actually at the very bottom of the list of important things when you're in love with another person.

    As someone who didn't particularly like Brand because of how he portrayed himself earlier in his career; when he said people had been saying he needs to watch out and they're coming for you, I rolled my eyes and wrote it off as conspiracy echo chamber comments at best. I didn't think it was true because a lot of people had been saying it, according to him. I hadn't seen these people saying it myself, and were already critical to his channel from the limited exposure to his content I've had in recent years, seeing him as a bit of a conspiracy nut.
    I still think it's a bit far fetched and conspiracy theorist in nature, but it certainly didn't help when I looked at the Channel 4 News "documentary", that it completely painted him as guilty. It weren't news reporting, it was straight up sentencing, accompanied with sinister music, a series of choice clipped quotes from his edgier comedian days, cut to fit together with silhouettes of actors and supposed altered voices of the anonymous real victims describing what had allegedly happened to them. Then Rumble comes out condemning a branch of the UK parliament for having reached out to get them to demonitize his content without any trial. TikTok having received a similar letter from the same UK parliament branch where they ask for his content to be demonitized even if it were to be within the Content Guidelines of the platform. Wouldn't surprise me if RUclips got the same letter and complied, as he is currently demonitized.
    I don't like to see someone being convicted before they have even been charged, before they have been tried, and before they have been convicted. To be judged and executed based on accusations from someone anonymous because a few media outlets paints it as real. And that is evidently happening with this case. These companies and the UK government are making his cooky conspiracy theories seem almost plausible. Now, I don't actually think the media is trying to silence him, that he was too close to the truth or anything like that, but I certainly think it's very dangerous for a body of the UK government to involve themselves in what is basically censorship. That is a dangerous step in the direction of having a government-controlled state-censored media. A future where we all live in dictatorships that decides what the public gets to view, what is deemed acceptable to them, something most people and governments supposedly condemns.
    If he is guilty, I hope he gets his due punishment. But I refuse to take accusations as truth before anything has at least gone through a trial.

Also other big names (who i would probably trust more) have come out to say how they felt uncomfortable around him, and found him very inappropriate which could again taint his character, meaning many people believe these allegations or at least not surprised by them

If an alcoholic has very weak boundaries around alcohol, meaning they can’t control their urge to drink it, then what does that say about a sex addict? I was date raped once by a man who did not have control over his urges either, and by that I mean HE CHOSE to not control himself, just like I CHOSE to drink after I promised my family I was done. I have a really hard time believing that someone who had to seek treatment for sex addiction never crossed any boundaries. We don’t seek help unless our addiction has led to major consequences, meaning that we have lost control. But we are to believe that he lost control but never to THAT extent?

Where there is a difference is with psychopaths because they don't have the same emotions and psychological make up as all other humans. They don't get the fear and shame response that everyone else has. It doesn't mean that there's never any leaking, but there's going to be a lot less.

    This case is causing me so much inner conflict . I’m a strong Russell Brand fan. And I have a strong sisterhood affinity. And I’ve been in situations with men where the line was blurred between coercion, manipulation and exploitation. I knew Russell had behaved badly to women..why? Because he’s admitted it himself many times. He has said he’s ashamed about how he treated women as objects in those days. So I had to face a contradiction of admiring someone so much knowing he had exploited women. But people grow right? And he’s committed so much of his life to dealing with people with addictions. He’s worked on himself spiritually and always talks now about people being kind to each other. I think sometimes with men, in that particular phase…popular, famous, promiscuous…their definition of consent is very skewed so I think Russell truly believes all his experiences were consensual, albeit it maybe highly immoral and indecent. I suspect it pains him, as he is now, to see the hurt caused. But I think the agenda of why all this is coming out now is a big problem. What does it solve by doing this investigation on someone who has genuinely change? but it certainly results in a very critical, powerful voice being silenced.

    Here is what I consider best practices when trying to evaluate claims of sexual assault:
    1) Pay no attention, none, zero, to the reputation of the accused. We all thought Bill Cosby was too decent to be a serial rapist; that's how much we can trust reputation.
    2) Focus on consistency of the accusations. Do the accusations change in fundamental ways over time? If so, consider them false. As a rape survivor once explained, when you've been a victim, there are no "versions" of what happened to you; there is only the horrible, unwanted reality of what happened. Now, I'm not talking about minor details that could conceivably shift because the trauma of an assault would make some recollections hazy; I'm talking about the accusation itself: what happened, where and when did it happen?
    3) What happened immediately after the event in question? Are there witnesses who say the victim was in a traumatized condition? There may not be any direct physical evidence of an assault, but if people can corroborate at least elements of the story, that lends some credibility.

I was coming up with all kinds of reasons I might have been unable to walk and passed out after only having not even half a drink. Denial can be a powerful thing. But that said, the other points you mentioned still hold - I've never changed one detail about what happened except that I finally acknowledged, years later, that it was drugging/almost rape. But I had people who would be able to say I was acting unusual that night, and the friend I told the next day recognised it for what it was immediately, even if I was in denial. I just wanted to point out that because of the nature of it, the person's emotions or perceptions of events might not stay the same... but certainly the description of what happened and where should be fairly consistent.

    Just wanted to correct something that is incorrect in the video. During the period in which these allegations are from, Brand was sober and off drugs. He's been off the drugs since about 2002 and these allegations are from somewhere between 2006-2013. That said, this was also during the height of his self-confessed sex addiction, which essentially replaced his substance issues. So same difference really... His behaviour, judgement etc will have been impacted on as a result of whichever addiction he was going through at the time (sex addiction in this case). Could a sex addiction in combination with a propensity for pushing boundaries and women on tap create an occasional collision course of a non-consensual nature? Doesn't seem far-fetched to me.
    One thing I noticed in his response video is that he describes his *relationships* as consensual. Technically that's not in dispute. The women who allege he mistreated or assaulted him were, for the most part, in relationships with him already and entirely of their own volition (as they admit). It's was certain and specific incidents *within* those relationships that were the [alleged] issue.

    I've always found his hand gestures to be extremely irritating. This may be because I leant sign language from a very early age. I'm not deaf, but when he gesticulates, I feel as though I'm being silently yelled at. There's absolutely no inflections of tone. In hearing and deaf people inflections of tone occur all the time. This is also reflected in the way he speaks. When he slips into talking very very fast I wonder if his mind is racing. I guess I just don't find him convincing because, for me, there's far too much fakery going on.

    The problem is that this is a narcissist who admits to consensual promiscuity- but a narcissist will believe that everyone wants to be with him. His narcissism will not let him consider that some of those women were sending him signals or telling him “no”. He will always deny the accusations, and being a narcissist, he will believe he is innocent even if he is guilty.

    As a survivor of rape myself, I ALWAYS for good or bad, support the survivor, until evidence points me in the direction otherwise.
    I might feel differently if I had not been in the same situation myself.
    I believed Amber Heard, for instance… until I watched the trial. It didn’t take too long before her ‘evidence’ fell apart.
    That’s as impartial as I can be. I am willing to have my mind changed, should the evidence point me in that direction.
    Hearing that one victim went to a rape clinic that very same day… I unsubscribed from Mr. Brand’s channel immediately.

    Ted Bundy didn't murder everyone he came into contact with, in fact some people really liked him. That isn't evidence he didn't commit any crimes. That is a stupid defense. Russell's defense video annoyed me. Mostly because it was feeding the conspiracy mindset rather than addressing any of the women that said he sexually assaulted them. Bragging about addicted to sex and drugs isn't enough to cover his back, if anything there is a good chance that not all of them wanted it and he was too high to question it.
    It's not enough they they didn't say no, did they all say yes? People freeze when scared so expecting people to say no when scared is stupid. Consent is when they say yes.
    He brushes off that he admitted to having a lot of sex, as an excuse. He clearly hasn't even given any thought or reflection to how his sex addiction affected others. No apologie, no empathy.
    Just turning it implying the media hired women to lie about his sexual assaults. And his lack of questioning his actions shows he still sees the women he had sex with as toys.
    What is shocking is he has daughters, how would he feel if someone treated his daughters the way he has treated other's daughters. No sign that thought even flitted through his brain.

      Of course he would say that, because people are making out his promiscuity makes him more likely to be guilty. Which is nonsense. If he was a woman, people would call that slut-shaming. Plus, if you know your accusers are lying, why the hell would you respect them, and act like they they are victims when you know that isn't the case? because you would know the truth about that situation, since you were there. The only honest position on this is to be on the fence.

Really chuffed that I picked up on a lot of the things that you mentioned (proving that I am getting better at this), as well as a lot that I didn’t, (still a lot to learn) so please keep posting this content!!

    I think that are people out there who are willing to lie one someone just to get a check, I also feel that this could be happening to him because he has changed his views, this is my opinion. That is not to say that there is no there there just that this person waited until he started talking like this to bring up an accusation not during the time in which the behavior occurred.

I am not sure bc I live on my own little island as to what others are exposed to, and it seems he doesn't really have a big audience bc utoob began censoring him due to his willingness to speak out about certain topics and exposure of specific data that did not align with the narrative being pushed world wide.
