As a fan of Russell Brand prior to him become the worst imitation of himself - from the very early 2000s* - I can express my disappointment and anger at the extent and nastiness of his purported bad behaviour. I was in some ways complicit as a radio listener because a person doesn't like to assume the worst about someone. He was always in to mad politics (going back to the 00s before big fame), but his early stand up, the much less sex and celebrity obsessed stand-up, was often inciteful and witty. The stupid(er) haircut and Hollywood, and success, coincided with increasingly focusing his persona on sex. I guess that's what sold.
Now he's gone full on (letter 17)anon adjacent he was a little like a mad uncle whom you disagree with but they're there. On the plus side he isn't going on about his dick so much. I don't agree with censorship, or elected officials asking for his content to be removed, but he employees expensive lawyers so he has more experience of that than I. He's innocent until proven guilty but it is equally reasonable to form an opinion of someone based on their reported behaviour without wishing ill harm towards, him, or anyone, on principle. But I'm no longer a fan of him as a person and feel sorry for the people involved.
* He was the Dancehall Chart and other things on early 2000s MTV and was proper mad and funny. I was in London at the time he signed off one of his pre Hollywood shows, in a Soho revue bar, on a very hot day "If there are any women in the audience who want to see me after, believe me, I'm not too good for you" or something to that effect. I may be misremembering. It was a good show. Expensive drinks. He came on stage with newspapers in a plastic carrier bag and barely mentioned his dick. Maybe he's always been a prick but fame made him a prick of mass (and self) destruction.
