Russell Brand Responds to Charges (He’s Being Charged, Hasn’t Been Convicted)

Russell Brand has been charged with rape, indecent assault, oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault, according to the Metropolitan Police. The charges relate to alleged incidents involving four women between 1999 and 2005. He’s set to appear in court on May 2, 2025, following an investigation that started in 2023. Some are saying this is the Deep State pulling their usual playbook—using sex-related accusations to target people they’ve lost a grip on or want to rein in. The timing’s raising eyebrows, especially given Brand’s recent outspoken stance against the establishment. That’s the situation as it stands.
