Seems that nothing has been learnt from Saville. Another celeb hiding in plain sight.

oh so easy to judge without evidence !? I thought Mr Saville was the populare TV-hero that everyone loved, not so Mr Brand. The Sunday Times said all the women felt ready to speak only after being approached by reporters. The newspaper said several felt compelled to do so given Brand's newfound prominence as an online wellness influencer. Most of the women, who the Times said do not know each other, have chosen to remain anonymous. Americans?

Why am I not surprised at your response Cernunnos? 😆. What ‘evidence’ do you expect? Have you not heard of libel laws? Not always easy to speak out against those with pockets deep enough to afford the best lawyers to defend themselves and the power to destroy your life. Look at Harvey Weinstein…..
Hope you are playing your devils advocate role and aren’t really defending him….but that would be a bit sick wouldn’t it.

Many are those that have been destroyed by folk that have nothing better to do , on social media or earlier by village gossip, pitchforks and fakkels! Wasn't Harvey Weinstein sent to prison , money or not? The America system? Lawyers and payments. Perhaps I am a bit sick ! thanks for that jackie. Attack the poster.

Thing about Brand is that many people in the entertainment industry did know what he was like, his 'issues' are well documented and he ran into trouble with several broadcasters including the Beeb and Channel 4. Because of his popularity at the time though (and therefore his earning potential) he was allowed to go 'unchecked' no matter what he did.

I can't stand Brand. he has a voice that makes me want to leave a room immediately.....;a bit like George Galloway. But it seriously cannot be a mystery to anyone that for much of his 'celebrity' life he was a serial shagger of anything that breathed.

Note to self - don’t rise to it in the first place - it’s what they want. Can’t understand the mentality to be honest…

If the allegations are proven in a court of law then he must be punished as the law decides, not the media or even ‘influencers’. And the media must have its nuts thoroughly twisted!

I’ve always found Brand creepy when he came on tv, turned him straight off. Creepy in a different way to Saville, who I couldn’t bear to watch, although our boys enjoyed his fix it shows. I thought he was twisted - but never ever could have guessed how depraved he was.
I once saw Saville at a fish restaurant in Fort William; he was sitting leaning out from his chair so that people would notice him; when I went near him to go to the toilet, he leaned right out, with a huge grin, obviously wanting to be noticed and no doubt admired. I looked the other way.

Seems that nothing has been learnt from Saville. Another celeb hiding in plain sight. While the accumulation of allegations does point to a strong likelihood of wrong doing, can I council caution in postings like this. In the event that there proves to be no substance in the allegations, this must be close to, if not beyond, the point of libel and as such leaves the poster and the site liable to prosecution.

I don’t think the Sunday Times would print such allegations if they were completely groundless.

The Sunday Times just printed that he had been accused , that is news, that is not agreeing with the allegations .
