Russell Brand's Career and Victim Narrative

Russell Brand has been known as many things over the past twenty years: outrageous stand up comedian, BBC shock jock, football blogger, provocative host of Big Brother UK spinoffs, author of several excruciatingly candid memoirs detailing his many addictions, Hollywood actor, ubiquitous guest on talk show circuits, host of award ceremonies and more recently podcaster of his own idiosyncratic autodidacticisms. 

Adding to that list according to the joint investigative journalism by Channel 4 Dispatches, the Times and The Sunday Times, is alleged serial rapist and sexual abuser. Though Brand has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, several women have now gone on record with these news outlets both in print and in a stunning documentary “Russell Brand: In Plain Sight” recounting horrific predatory behavior, grooming and coercive control in extreme detail.

Join us as we discuss each victim’s account and Laura and Jim highlight what they see in his behavior. You can read about the allegations in the links below and watch a portion of the Dispatches program. NOTE TRIGGER WARNING: please exercise caution when reading or viewing material about this case.
