In response to the questionable actor being charged with rape and sexual assault in his native country of and U.K., Russell Brand has issued a speech attacking the American government.
The charges were made public on Friday as Brand and his relatives were on vacation in Boca Grande, Florida. The 50-year-old blogger was charged with six counts of rape in connection with a series of incidents that date back more than 25 years, including an alleged assault in 1999.
Brand took to social media to claim the allegations and slam the government in , Britain, time after the accusations were made.
He began an Instagram video that was shot from his hotel in Florida and declared,” We’re quite fortunate in a way to live in a day where there’s so much faith in the English authorities.” We’re lucky, in my opinion, that this is occurring at a time when people, institutions, and occasionally complete countries are being targeted by the law.
He next went on to ask his British viewers what their opinions are of the current legal system, particularly criticizing Keir Starmer’s management.
What do you think about some of the famous situations that haven’t been brought to justice? How do you feel about how the murders, Southport, and the  were handled? he inquired.
He next addressed the allegations against him brain on after a brief period of general discourse.
” I’ve always told you guys that I was a fool when I was younger and second, before I had my wife and family,” the person said. Before I lived in the light of the Lord, he said,” I was a fool.” I was an idiot, sex addict, and drug addict. But I was not a victim of rape. I’ve not engaged in illicit behavior. I ask that you see that.
He thanked his followers for their assistance and promised to defend himself in court as he finished his videos.
On Saturday, Brand and his home, including his partner Laura and their three children, were reportedly spotted frolicking on a shore in Miami, apparently trying to stop the complaints from escalating their trip.
Brand has been charged with two counts of physical abuse, as well as one count of dental murder, in addition to one count of murder. The allegations stem from encounters that allegedly occurred with four different girls between 1999 and 2005.
Officials in London announced that they had begun an investigation into Brand in , September 2023 , after receiving many complaints following , a combined report , by , The Sunday Times, The , Times , of , London , and , Channel 4.
