London Metropolitan Police on Friday announced that Q-pilled British “comedian” Russell Brand been charged with rape, indecent assault and sexual assault between 1999 and 2005 in incidents involving four separate women, and has been told to appear at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court on May 2, though it is believed that Brand is currently inside the United States, the BBC reports.

Brand, once known to US audiences as the legitimately funny Bono/Sting caricature Aldous Snow in the 2008 comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the less-successful but still sort-of decent 2010 spin-off Get Him to the Greek, saw his career stall out while married to pop star Katy Perry. One report about their divorce described Brand, a sobriety freak, as reliably miserable when showing up to drive Perry home from boozy Hollywood parties. A decade later he’d reinvented himself as a YouTube edgelord with millions of subscribers, who in 2023 reacted to conspiracy theory bullshit about Lahaina, Hawaii being incinerated by a Jewish space laser on loan to a shadowy cabal of ruthless real estate developers by saying “Whether it’s true or not, it feels true, and in terms of results, it is kind of true. There is a conspiracy to keep you poor and benefit rich elites.”

Brand is estimated to have made about $5 million from his content in 2024. He joins Andrew Tate, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Steven Crowder, and Donald Trump on the list of fringe content creators who have been publicly and credibly accused of serious sexual misconduct within the past few years.
