‘superstar’?
Superstar? Is this a humorous community? Shitpost community? WTF. The Guardian article doesn’t use that term, it is OP’s own.
Have we been manipulated? Was it a ploy to get comment engagement?
He was internationally famous. Now it’s internationally infamous.
When I think of superstar, I think of Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Holland or something. Russell Brand at his peak was nowhere near this but always kind of on the fringe as C±tier and something of some weird cult-leader wannabe from my perception. Idk, I don’t really pay attention to pop culture tmz stuff.
I think it’s a relative term. I can obviously see disagreeing with it, but if people in several countries watched your movies, I don’t think “superstar” is a big stretch. At least not at his peak.
WTF!!! Superstar??? Russel Brand was mediocre … Actor? Guitarist? Singer? Director? What was he? Can’t really remember.
Actor. Quite funny back in the day actually. Much my type of funny and eccentric. Intellectual seeming, to me at least.
Still is an eccentric and interesting personality IMO. Shame about all of this. Shame on him.
I will not stand by while these lies keep propagating.
Tap for spoiler
He is not and never was a “superstar”. There. J said it.
I fully agree with “J”
I learned today (on the latest episode of the podcast Maintenance Phase) that Will Smith is a conspiracy theorist, specifically an HIV/AIDS denialist.
You know, I always knew he was very good at acting smart. I could just tell. He was good at acting wise.
TIL Will Smith and the Foo Fighters have (/had) something in common.
The Foo Fighters members are AIDS deniers? All of them, even?
One band member was the main proponent; but the band did a show for the benefit of some AIDS deniers and listed them as one of their charities on their website for some time.
Why can’t I enjoy things anymore these days, Jesus Christ! All of my childhood culture that I enjoyed is being rug pulled from underneath me year by year. Bah.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
British superstarConvicted rapist Russell Brand accused of misconduct by six more womenNevermind superstar, who thought misconduct was a good word??
He’s not accused of shouting loudly outside a pub.
Who?
They say it’s the ones you least expect, but I always thought this guy was creepy.
And yeah, superstar? Nah, at best he’s just some eccentric Internet personality. He may have done a couple films, but he’s more just some character than anything else.
I still don’t know who this guy is, other than being a rapist.
He was in a handful of somewhat known movies in the 00’s. He has never been anything special.
TRYNA GET PAID
Or seeing other women come forward and be believed has made these new parties feel safe enough to speak up. It was not that long ago that these women would be shamed out of the room for reporting abuse like this. Hell, you’ve just tried to do it now.
Comments like this remind me goes far we have to go as a society.
The jury found him NOT GUILTY on almost HALF of the charges in his recent trial, and you still act like some women don’t make shit up
‘Not guilty’ does not mean ‘innocent’. In cases like this it usually means that there was not evidence ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ as to his guilt. This means recorded admissions, audiovisual evidence, or physical (medical) evidence.
Can you guess what most rape survivors don’t gather immediately after being raped?
And don’t get me started on the response from the court when a complainant does collect that evidence. “You can’t have been that traumatised if you had the level head needed to collect evidence. Sounds premeditated.”
All of this ignores the point that while he was acquitted on
almostless than half of the charges, the rapist was CONVICTED and found GUILTY of more than half of them. Why is your first reaction, when a rapist is found guilty of rape, to leap to the defence of the rapist? Kinda weird. Maybe be less shit.
6:3 advantage, Brand?
