Russell Brand is back on Rumble more than a week on from allegations he raped and sexually assaulted four women at the height of his fame.

Several major companies have pulled advertising from Rumble, the video platform that hosts Russell Brand’s broadcasts, in light of sexual assault allegations against the British comedian.

Russell Brand’s last show on mainstream British TV was binned without making it to air five years ago, following allegations by a female comedian of his predatory behaviour, according to The Sun newspaper.

Russell Brand has posted a video addressing a “distressing week” following allegations of rape, sexual assault and controlling behaviour by The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches in a joint investigation.The actor, comedian and presenter had already denied what he termed “very serious criminal allegations” in a video that was released last week (September 15). In the video, Brand insisted that his relationships have always been consensual.The allegations against Brand relate to a seven year period “at the height of his fame” between 2006 and 2013 according to The Sunday Times and come from four women, one of whom was 16 at the time.

raping and sexually assaulting four women, including a 16-year-old.“So…,” he captioned the short video clip in hopes of getting viewers’ attention. “Hello there, you awakening wonders,” Brand, 48, begins.He continues, “Obviously, it’s been an extraordinary and distressing week and I thank you very much for your support and for questioning the information that you have been presented with.“By now, you’re probably aware that the British government has asked big tech platforms to censor our online content and that some online platforms have complied with that request,” he says, referencing YouTube suspending Brand’s ability to make money on the platform following the allegations against him.

Russell Brand is speaking out again in his first statement since those sexual assault allegations dropped!

Russell Brand really is getting properly canceled over this scandal. Though considering the severity of the scandal it feels pretty reasonable. (For more details on the rape and sexual assault allegations from last weekend’s exposé HERE.)

For the first time since his pre-emptive video posted before multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against him were published in the British media, Russell Brand has reacted to those reports.

Comedian Nish Kumar has detailed why he believes Russell Brand hasn’t been featured on TV much for the past few years.

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer has addressed the Russell Brand allegations for the first time, urging the UK TV industry not to become “synonymous with the scandals of #MeToo.”

UK media regulator Ofcom has received more than 100 complaints from viewers who felt that Channel 4’s bombshell expose on Russell Brand was “unfair” to the comedian.
