We was never a proper comedian, more a celebrity and IMHO during the time I was aware of him (whilst I was living in Britain) he always felt to me like a cunt.
That’s the Despicable Me films cancelled.
TIL Russell Brand is the voice actor for the old scientist in Despicable Me
Why not when it happened?
I can’t believe the state of journalism is so bad but then articles like this and I really have to think about it
The amount of misinformation in this article, portraying Russell Brand as something he’s not.
He might be a grifter and a rapist but he’s NOT a comedian.
Dang, that was quick. Also a pathetically short sentence.
Elizabeth Cook, the courtroom artist has been banging out some great sketches of him, looking guilty and weaselly.
They’re not on her website, but I feel like I’ve seen about five different ones this morning.
He’ll be out in 7 as there only making him serve 2/3rds
He’ll be on licence
10 years, 6 months, if anyone was wondering what the “more than” meant
He’s a “comedian” ? I thought he was just a professional douche
Words don’t mean anything anymore.
I wish he would have tried his mansolaining and talking over the judge.
I really hope those other investigations put him right back in the courtroom.
Always loved his stuff, thought he was hilarious, now it will be viewed, if ever, through the same tainted lens I view Weinstein for example’s stuff. I am glad a powerful celebrity is facing the consequences. I hope this gives the victims a slight relief that he will be off the streets for years to come, I wish the victims healing and growth, they never deserved this
All we need now are Rose Bryne and Jonah Hill to have criminal crash outs and we can have a prison reunion for Get Him to the Greek.
Jonah’s making progress so far…
I’m OOTL. What’s going on with Jonah Hill?
He’s pulling a Shia Labeouf. He’s super insecure these days.
I’m super insecure most of the time too; I don’t think it should be considered something to wish harm upon a person for.
Not wishing anything. Just saying he’s showing signs of decline.
Decline towards what?
Is Rose Byrne a terrible person? I honestly couldn’t believe it if she is.
She isn’t. That’s why our reunion isn’t happening.
Happy to see the desperate conversion to Christianity (and right wing grift) didn’t help him
He could be out in as little as 7 years. He was convicted of multiple violent rapes, with allegations of many more
He got an incredibly lenient sentence
He was convicted of one rape, and three sexual assaults.
9yrs for the rape and 18, 9 and 8 months for the assaults.
So he’s either at the high end of Cat 3 rape or the low end of Cat 2. It’s not incredibly lenient, but it doesn’t suggest the court was satisfied that it was “violent” beyond the inherent sexual violence. That would have been well into Cat 2 and been a longer sentence.
Still, he had a long period in which he thought himself unstoppable, so already there are more people coming forward. I doubt this will be the limit of his time inside.
That could be extended if he’s convicted of other charges.
Ah fuck glad he finally sees justice but this will put a damper on my rewatches of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
