There was previously discussion about Russell Brand denying allegations that were now shown in a TV documentary, and now things are developing.
There is zero chance the agent didn’t know what Brand was up to, this is nothing but an exercise in ass covering…

They knew 3 years ago and suggested suing her:
I wonder if that’s why this guy turned into a right wing grifter around the same time? Elon Musk did the exact same shit with that flight attendant story.
Mah this is who they always were. If anything, they were a sort of left-wing grifter before; they said and did shit that would anyone from American libs and further left kinda say “ok thank god not all the rich privileged people are insane” but now that they’ve been caught out for doing terrible shit out of the spotlight, they go right back to their true selves and spout shit like “people with a conscience don’t want to bankroll my lavish lifestyle anymore! Can’t they just not vote with their wallets? I DESERVE that revenue! Cancel culture has gone TOO FAR now that affects my bottom line!”
Absolutely no self-awareness as to how their own hubris has done it to themselves; or absolutely no scruples about doubling down and doing anything they can to keep the cash flowing.
Remember, the worst think that can happen to a capital owner is they can become working class again. This is why they always kick and squirm.
Matt Taibbi is on a related journey. He stopped turning up to his own podcast a couple of years ago, and you can now catch him on random NewsMax segments.
After seeing Naomi Wolf make the full heel turn to Steve Bannon acolyte, in the aftermath of her book and reputation being utterly destroyed in a single BBC interview, it seems like it’s not necessarily Me-too driving the flipping phenomenon.
The MAGA right provides the last bastion for people with huge egos and well-paying careers in the public eye who refuse to go away.
I was pretty sad about hearing about Naomi Wolfe, so I had to Google it and realized I was thinking of Naomi Klein.
Matt Taibbi was a bit of a disappointment.
The grift is lucrative. I guess I should be surprised the number of people you can squeeze money out of it before they get wise but it just doesn’t seem to run out.
I went through the exact same experience with the Klein/Wolfe mixup.
And, Klein has what sounds like a fantastic book coming out right now that was triggered by the confusion.
Check out some of her recent interviews on Qanon Anonymous, Conspirituality, and On the Media podcasts. She is a really shrewd person.
You’re not the first person to have that moment. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/aug/26/naomi-klein-naomi-wolf-conspiracy-theories
Tbf, both have plenty of other reasons to lean right (wealthy white cis hetero abled men, any or all of the above), my guess would be that eventually enough legit productions/companies will refuse to work with people with a certain reputation, so they end up grifting by default.
For people like them it’s all about having power and influence over others, they don’t care who, as long as their egos and pockets are fed…
Yeah, this was mentioned in the program I saw last night, I hadn’t realised it was still the same agent he had now, but that’s one of the reasons I had no doubt they knew…
Damnit, I love Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
They knew
All it takes is an accusation.
If all it took was an accusation he would have been removed from any and all positions of power a long long time ago, and at least a few of the women he raped would have been spared.
Instead, and even with many accusations (and not only proof but essentially his own admission), assholes like you will still jump to the rapists defence and pretend as if the whole entire system isn’t rigged in their favour.
You are an active part of the problem.
How to destroy anyone’s life if you hate them:
- Accuse them of sexual assault from 2000 years ago, and rely on dumb people’s emotions and corruption.
- Profit!
Clown world.
Who’s profiting? Can you provide an example with Brands case?
Russel Brand is fighting the establishment and hurting the big pockets, see the video below, and there’s absolutely zero proof he did anything whatsoever. It’s just anonymous with zero evidence, zero investigations, and just anonymous nonsense. Once this goes to court, then we talk about legitimacy. Innocent until proven guilty.
Okay let’s rewind a bit, I asked you to provide an example of someone who was making money off this.
Saying “the establishment” and “big pockets” really isn’t cutting it, can you or can you not name one party who’s directly profiting off this? Can you actually prove the link between a victims testimony and someone being reimbursed?
I need names and dollar figures, not this sensationalist rambling.
Really? OK. Let’s ask the dictionary what “profit” means. This is the first answer from Merriam Webster:
“: a valuable return : GAIN”
So excuse me for not having that event listed in S&P500 reports… you petty little man.
Yeah, you got nothing.

- There hasn’t been any need to fabricate sexual assault allegations. Brand has had a long history of unwanted sexual advances and in the ages before #MeToo he could get away with it. Many women have come forward with their experiences about Brand and now the police is investigating this.
- Brand has been trying to profit for the last few years by grifting MAGA/QAnon folks.
The history is filled with fabricated sexual assaults. Kavanaugh, Justin Bieber, Justin Roiland, Andy Signore, and the list goes on. They all get completely destroyed before the evidence shows in the dumb court of “public opinion”, and then they get absolved of the charges because guess what… women lie, like everyone else. Humans lie. So, we have “innocent until proven guilty” and “due process”. That, or nothing. Shut your mouth and don’t make shit up. I hope this happens to you and you get destroyed and lose everything until the evidence shows you’re innocent and then no one gives a shit. Maybe then you’ll learn, you evil little piece of shit.

I’m not lying. You’re just ignorant.
