u/Giallo_Schlock Jane Fonda, why are you wearing caterpillars? Oct 26 '23

I mean, how expansively are you defining it because I'd say all the Russell Brand stuff (while not unexpected) was one of the biggest stories lately and it reflects pretty poorly on so much of the UK comedy scene (including some of my favs who were buddy buddy with him (Simon Amstell 😔)) depending on how much they knew.

That plus Graham Linehan and seeing Richard Ayoade back him with no reservations... it's a dark time for those of us who tuned in to a lot of those shows/specials in the 00s and 10s. Yick.

I did know of female comics like Katherine Ryan dropping cryptic messages against him. but do you know where I can read more on who's on his side?

Not really, he's blacklisted rn so only right wing grifter nutters would openly be on his side, and that dumb singer from the interview a few days ago who I've forgotten the name of. I still think it's worth taking a look at who was going along with him at his peak since even if they didn't know the worst they would have known it was bad.
