Before 2017, this wasn't an issue. These clips show him as promiscuous, flirty, and a comedian. Not a rapist. He speaks against the media and political driven narrative, and this happens. Sounds familiar eh

[daniellecrociata]

Sensitive??! Jesus help us.
Russell is a comedian.

I don't know if you notice everyone laughing at every single joke ??? This was totally acceptable back then. Let's not judge the Romans for the Colosseum.

That was the character that everybody loved and propelled him to fame. I'm sure it's a bit of an exaggeration.

[bradzila]

Trying to silence him, you're too late!

[greacts]

Interesting how he has been like this his whole life - Has always been transparent - Always been opened about his drugs and sex addictions - Yet the moment he starts to voice his political views, they want to attack him? ... 🤔

[The-Mandolorian]

Do people understand what "context" means

[theepicmicco]

To say this guy did a complete 180 with his life is a vast understatement.

[sorchadonavan]

Funny how this wasn't a big deal until he began speaking against the establishment.

[nidgey]

None of these seem awkward in the slightest

[iancook]

So you have to take back your past history and banter. The world is really dumbing down. Get me out of this asylum.

[AnderaM]

Innocent until proven guilty. He hasn’t been charged!

[pigstick]

The difference between cheeky funny guy and grapist = not saying the core t thing on social media

[corrinathinks]

I've known enough guys like this growing up but it didn't make them rap1sts!

[wearemany]

He was f@&£ing hilarious in his day.😂

[mikeschatz]

I don’t have any political opinions in common with this man.I’m not in a position to judge him one way or another. I live in America so fortunately for everyone in this position. We are all innocent until proven guilty. Not precisely sure how they do it in the UK. Seems like all people who have business in America should have the same rights in America. Strange that these women didn’t go to the police all those years ago. And still today didn’t go to the police. Going to the press seems fabricated by any any standard. Why now? Why this man?

[suttyhammerblow]

He's a womaniser, so what? He openly admits it

[joeoak]

I dont care i still like Russell Brand hes awesome 💥

[jackobrien]

Still not evidence slanderous but not evidence
