When I released my first take on Russell Brand, we didn't yet have any allegations. We hadn't seen the rumoured approaching Times article or the Dispatches - which we still didn't even know was about Brand. All I had to go on was his defence and his insistence that people were conspiring against him. When I went live on YouTube, about 90% of the comments were angrily defending him, accusing me of being a shill, being mainstream media, believing accusations before seeing evidence etc. So I didn't go in hard on Brand. The problem is that just a few days later, that already looks dated. I removed the episode in question from the audio podcast. It is still on YouTube if you'd like to see, along with all the next livestreams I did in an effort to gradually move people towards accepting that these allegations are likely true.
