So it goes something like this:
- Man rapes
- Man gets away with it for a while
- Man gets charged for it
- Man joins the far-right

And his right-wing transformation is now complete.
I'm not entirely sure it wasn't the other way around.
He probably knew some charges were coming years ago, and started adapting his output accordingly.
Oh for sure. He's been soft-pedaling his right-wing transformation ever since the initial allegations went public years ago. The hard turn recently is probably exactly as you say, he knew charges were coming.
I don't think he thinks the way you and I do. I don't think it was that calculated.
It doesn't take much calculating at all. It's just easy to convince right-wing audiences that sexual misconduct allegations are all a conspiracy by the Deep State^TM^ to silence them. It's a pretty basic grift.
People think Russell Brand is funny?
I had vaguely remembered him and saw him on YouTube a while back. I thought, hey, I think I liked this guy. Clicked into his video and was pretty shocked and immediately wrote him off.
No junk, no soul
The only guy guy in the world who was less annoying when he was on crack
After watching Kathy Perry's documentary and what he did to her, I fucking hate this asshole.
Kathy Perry
lul
"names may have been changed to protect people's privacy"
I never watched that, what did he do?
He divorced her over text, minutes before she was about to get on stage on her premiere tour. Then ghosted her after.
Holy FUCK. You know back when he was pretending to be a queer leftist, he had me genuinely fooled. He's a truly scary fucker.
God that's awful. And calculatingly cruel.

How did his newly found faith in God not spare him of this????????
A resolve all your sins get out of jail free card you get when you become Christian is how.
He’ll use this in his defence, somehow. Swear blind it’s why he miraculously found God.

Rapist Russell Brand charged with Attempted Comedy
You’re kiddin’! HIM? …Nahhh. He’s always seemed like a super stable, reliable guy. You just never know about some people, you know?
Don't worry, he can buy a Trump Gold Card, become a U.S. citizen, and Trump will offer him the position of Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues.
This is depressingly spot-on.
It’s always the people who you expect the most.
