Victim blaming- children can’t consent to be in a “relationship” with adults.

16 is age of consent in the UK. Sorry.

Two 16 year olds yes. But a 30 year old and a 16 year old? No way!

yes, age of consent means age of consent - Continental Europe and the UK are not like the US on this at all.
They do not have to both be 16.

Brand was booked as a judge on Comedy Central’s Roast Battle in 2018, but only lasted a single season on the series after he himself was roasted on-camera over allegations he had sexually assaulted women. He strongly denies criminal wrongdoing.

Three sources close to the Fulwell 73 production said Roast Battle judge Katherine Ryan turned the heat on Brand a number of times during filming. Her allegations did not make the final edit.

…..

One person familiar with the matter said Brand was “absolutely furious” at being targeted by Ryan. This person said other comedians may have also called out Brand, though this has not been confirmed by those who worked on the show. Two other sources said he demanded that producers protect him from being roasted by his fellow comedians.

Omg. Thé bolded part is just too rich. A comedian who is sensitive about getting roasted 😂 💀

Russell Brand’s ‘creepy’ Liz Hayes act resurfaces

A ‘creepy’ clip of Russell Brand appearing to forcefully plant a kiss on Liz Hayes’ lips while trying to unclip her bra has resurfaced amid shocking rape allegations.

The Australian journalist had been interviewing the actor and comedian for a segment on Nine's Sunday night show, 60 Minutes, back in 2012.

The lighthearted chat ended with Brand grabbing Hayes and kissing her, even jokingly commenting about unhooking her bra as he felt around her back.

The experienced TV journalist tried to remain professional and attempted to pull away, putting her hand between them and thanking Brand for his time.

A crowd of what appeared to be the actor’s entourage watched on as the incident unfolded.

Brand then partially released the reporter from his grip, before asking her “How can I undo your bra? Just like this …” as his put his arm on her back.

Hayes appeared shocked as he walked away grinning, before turning around and saying: “Liz, I love you!”.

Five women independently accuse Brand of rape and sexual assault. One was a 16 year-old at the time Brand was 31. When the girl’s mother tried to intervene and express concern, Brand sexually assaulted the mother in front of the girl.

I guess we now know why Brand tacked to the rightwing.

OMG! I'm stunned. But actually, it makes sense (haven't read the other replies in this thread yet, I had to react immediately after reading the OP) because he was starting to sound pretty right-wing at one point.

Sad because once I thought he seemed like a very spiritual man - he'd talk about Tantra and conscious relating between the masculine and the feminine. Probably all of the guys who talk like that are spiritual frauds.

You sound like a bunch of idiots.

They get famous. They won’t stay anonymous. They want to see how it plays first.

The ignorance and idiocy of this statement. I would say I hope nothing like this ever happens to a woman you love but my guess is she will never exist.

This is how they want you to react.

I am a woman who has been sexually assaulted. It diminishes what happened to me when people cry wolf. When Hollywood starlets who didn’t make it sleep with famous people and then later have regrets? Cry me a river. I was sexually assaulted by a random stranger who cornered me and forced himself on me. It absolutely minimizes what I went through. It makes me feel like my experience is nothing and no one cares, even though it was much worse in reality.

Russell Brand didn’t need to corner a random stranger. That is so unplausible. He slept with a pulse who was receptive, he didn’t need unreceptive partners.

SA is about power. It's not about the ability to find a receptive partner.

Please use this as an opportunity to understand that not all victims had the same experience as you.

This. Plus one of the victims was 16 years old. That's a power imbalance right there.

Agree with this. But also I'm curious whether this PP would be part of the crowd that looks the other way when the guy is Woody Allen or Roman Polanski? Or are those situations fine because one of those underage victims married her predator and the other victim (who was 14 at the time) has "forgiven" him.

Also isnt' there a statute of limitations?

Are you really asking this shit in 2023?

You know damn well why it takes years for rape and other abused to come to light.

Just say you're a rape apologist and don't believe the women.
Own your repugnant views.

Attacking the questioner instead of actually giving a response....
