Russell Brand has just been hit with two additional criminal charges—one count of rape and one count of sexual assault—by the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service, bringing the total number of women who have come forward against him to six.
This comes right on the heels of Brand appearing at the Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix, Arizona, where he gave a prayer-soaked speech praising Donald Trump and dedicated a discernible portion of his stage time to airing out his grievances about his ex-wife Katy Perry dating Justin Trudeau. If life in 2025 were a movie, the screenwriter would’ve been fired by now for how heavy-handed the symbolism is.
