Honestly he should be in jail for 100 years, 10 years are just rookie numbers

[–] dasrael@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 minutes ago

Now he will get to enjoy a nice decade of interruption free Bible study time! This is actually a huge win for him.

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

I will never understand how one can have so much money and success just to throw it all away for something so stupid and vile.

He gets the Bill Cosby lifetime achievement award.

Glad he’s doing Timey Wime.

Take a look at Stewart Lee’s standup routine bit on Russell Brand from years ago, it’s hilarious!

The conservative sub was malding over this.

Like, was he even known for his politics? I knew him as a weird actor whose primary vehicle for comedy was just being a weird oddball. They really will just defend any sex criminal?

He was an outspoken Leftist campaigner in the early 2010s. Then when more and more stories started getting spread about his rapey antics, nobody on the Left would talk to him any more and he had to go find some new friends.

yea he is, at least the start of covid he pivoted hard, i kept seeing him on my feed unintentionally, and when not logging in youtube during that time. he probably suspected this was going to happen eventually.

He started being very US politics on his podcast for a bit and then he switched over to Christianity and conservative grift.

[–] reka@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

am I imagining it or did he do a baptism with jd vance?

I'm fairly sure he was being groomed to be peter thiel's new pope

I saw a Facebook story about his convictions and there were so many people in the comments saying he is just being silenced for his views and he's an innocent man being done wrong by attention seekers.

Facebook is such a bin fire sometimes...

[–] toph@feddit.uk 4 points 9 hours ago

Only sometimes??

Wait. Are they different people?! WTF?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 20 points 17 hours ago (7 children)

Guess he didn't fake Christian hard enough

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

He picked the wrong religion.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 2 points 5 hours ago

No, you don't get it.

He's gonna find that passage in Isaiah any moment now!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 9 hours ago

he took too long to convert, shouldve done it before covid, then he has a base where he can gauge reactions from.

I'm waiting for the picture of him without sunglasses and his hair shaved off.

[–] Didntdoit71@feddit.online 39 points 21 hours ago

Good, one more rapey, creepy, rich cunt not walking the streets. Now if only the US would start doing the same things to our rich, rapey cunts. We should start with the orange molester in chief.
