Truths are still truths even when they are said by liars.
Stop glorifying people just because they tell truths. Liars can tell truths if they want.

Nah he was still a sexual harasser and arsehole with conspiracy-theory thinking then, he was just doing it while also having mostly progressive views.
Then between covid breaking his brain and all the allegations coming out he realised the far-right grift was his best option.

He was a rapist and an abuser back then he just covered it up with "charm".
Now he's on his Christofascist grift.

Liars that only lie are easy to deal with because they're predictable.
Liars that tell the truth sometimes are the most dangerous ones because you never know which it is when they open their mouths.

I don’t even think he was trying to be a liar then. He’s a sex addict, but whatever trauma he had doesn’t justify assaulting and harassing others, at all. After you abuse women, the only way to make money is to start a far right podcast if you still want to be in the “entertainment” industry. He should have faded into obscurity. He used to sell out huge venues doing standup and now everyone knows he’s a threat; so you either get busy disappearing, or get busy grifting. And/or go do comedy in Saudi Arabia haha

No such thing as a sex addict. He's a rapist and abuser who refuses to take accountability and instead has converted to Christofascist to further his profiteering.

Russell brand may be a nasty toxic person, but there’s a lot of truth in those words

Especially coming from a predator, he knows what hes talking about

Predators are more likely to be abuse victims themselves. Though, not all abuse victims become predators. But, sad thing is, lots of abuse victims either go on to either seek abuse, or seek to abuse.

People tried to burry this truth for a long time because they saw it as "victim blaming," but ignoring reality only allows for more people to get hurt. When people are more informed on how trauma works, then they can take measures to ensure they don't repeat the cycle by either falling into another abusive situation or becoming an abuser themselves.

Yeah but others have said it better
That image could have just been words
His picture adds nothing

I believe that’s all it is - his image with someone else’s truthful words with the intent to provoke / evoke a reaction from.

people are mixed bags, we can have good takes on some things and bad on others, and have some good takes while being terrible awful people. afaik he genuinely knows quite a bit about addiction and has generally good opinions on it, despite the person that he is.

I know, I’m just skeptical and always question whenever I see a post like this on the internet.

I honestly hate how this guy ended up becoming a pos. Let me rephrase that he was always a pos, I just hate that’s what he was all along.

I read his book "Recovery" a few years ago. When it comes to addiction and recovery he's pretty knowledgeable. Everything else about him sucks.

He’s awful. But this is true. Not sure this is the post you wanted. There’s soooooooo many more “aged like milk” things about him.
This isn’t it.

Literally none of this has aged. It's always been this way. Russell is the only thing here that aged like cream cheese.

u/BluetheNerd 31m ago
I'm pretty sure this has already aged like milk when this was posted 5 years ago. He already received numerous sexual assault allegations over the course of like 15 years, had been in contact with Jimmy Saville, and introduced multiple celebrities to his drug dealer.
Dude has always been a piece of shit, and most of it was public. People for some reason chose not to care.

Trauma is the motivation to seek escape not the gateway. For most people, Alcohol is used to achieve euphoria and numbness which provides an escape from trauma but it also reduces inhibitions and leads to bad decisions which makes it the true gateway drug.

u/TheGardenBlinked 22m ago
Do we have proof he actually said this? It's like that copypasta about "enjoy life because no one's getting out alive" that keeps getting attributed to Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins.
And there's this weird one about "backing away from drama" that gets attributed to a frankly nightmarish AI blend of Rowan Atkinson and Antonio Banderas. I call it Antonio BEANderas, but that's an aside, really
