@noneya313 : An accuser from Australia has apparently spoken up, but I'm not sure if she's accusing Russell of anything illegal. Video is "SNEAK PEEK: Massive Brand damage | 60 Minutes Australia". I think there'll might be many more girls coming forward.

@noneya313 : As someone who has been raped and sexually assaulted a few times -- in my workplace, where I live and whilst travelling -- I'm totally fine with "repetitional destruction" because it's damned hard to get any police or court action for anything like this. Especially when the perpetrator is famous and well-protected by 'enablers'.

I understand what you're saying, but Russell Brand has written about how hard he sometimes had to work to manipulate girls into doing things that they didn't want to do. And he did things to them that he said they didn't like. I'm not saying he did anything that can be proven to be against a girl's consent though. It's kind of ironic that the same media and entertainment matrix that made him powerful, and 'enabled' him to have this risqué lifestyle in the past, has now turned against him...🙄

@noneya313 : If a person's reputation can't stand up to scrutiny, both in the public arena and in court, then I'm happy that consequences apply. I don't want cancellation. I want freedom of expression for everyone. There is no level playing field where sexual encounters are concerned and far too many females get no voice at all this is. If this is where they can get a voice, then I'm all for that. The public can be the judge. And just to be clear, I'm extremely resilient. This is not in the slightest way about me at all.

@ltmund : I certainly do NOT agree that "false accusations... should be treated as disgusting as rape itself". Rape comes with the consequence of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted diseases, and sometimes physical harm, not to mention emotional harm. We are now living with the positives and negatives of social media and mass information so we will have to learn to make the best of it, just as humans have navigated other new developments.

@pennyadrian7774 : Maybe abuse victims will be happy to get some social justice?
