"He has evolved considerably through doing the 12 steps. He points towards important truths these days. But of course some only see the sins of the past " Well said!! His addiction answers for a lot of his past mistakes. He is a little pretentious now with his big words he uses but he is extremely intelligent and usually speaks a lot of sense | |||

"He was undoubtedly a twat in his younger years, and I for one couldn't wait to punch his face in whenever I saw him. However, as time has gone on he's quit the booze and drugs, re-evaluated himself and actually ended up doing some very good works for people- like trying to stop the entire population of a North London housing estate from being forced out of their homes by developers, for instance. Yes, his actions towards Andrew Sachs were vile, and so were Jonathan Ross's. However, having met the lady in question, trust me, she was no shrinking flower- and she dined out off the publicity garnered from that for years afterwards, as she also did from her 'shock revelations' about her affair with Adam Ant. The London music industry was FULL of these kinds of people in the 00s: indeed, it was one of the major reasons I quit." Whatever the lady in question was like has no bearing on his actions, they were entirely his and Jonathon Ross's responsibility. | |||

It was only a joke, mate."Ah yes. The battle cry of bullies and abusers the world over. "Oh, my actions harmed you, and I'm now being challenged on it? I WAS ONLY JOKING!"

"Im with you on that,a few years ago i heard him talking to members of the westboro baptist church and engaging them which is no picnic . Then i watched a programme he presented about addiction, which was when i noticed , he demonstrated a eve of empathy and self disclosure which i didnt credit him as possessing previously! Since then, i have grown to the point where , his views seem to have more alignment with my own on most issues i have concern about ! Now and again, i find some guests he interviews , not really people i have anything in common with or a liking for(ricky gervais for example) , but other people id never heard of , thanks to recommendation from RB , helped me find a way to start to manage my increasing insomnia. (Wim hoff, if anyone is interested , worth a look). " His empathy and disclosure, im guessing comes from working the 12 steps in his life, and what they teach him, basically to live in spiritual principles | |||

"He has evolved considerably through doing the 12 steps. He points towards important truths these days. But of course some only see the sins of the past Well said!! His addiction answers for a lot of his past mistakes. He is a little pretentious now with his big words he uses but he is extremely intelligent and usually speaks a lot of sense He is also making money off the steps, which is wrong as they were feely given to him by his sponsor and his predecessor's in recovery, yes he has evolved alit through the step work, but needs to look at steps 6 and 7 a little more in my humble opinion " We are all human. It is easy to see the splinter in an another’s eye despite the log in our own. We have no idea what his inner work is. | |||

"I can't stand that man that made a joke I didn't like, for which he apologised, and quit the BBC, thirteen years ago. I dislike him so much I'm going to give him the time and energy to let the internet know just how much I can't stand him. "He was sacked because of his stupid stunt the day following his lewd comments, his actions on MTV showed him up for the total bell end he is, and ultimately led to him being rightly sacked. | |||

When you are spiritual people generaly turn away from you not turn to you so, I think he could have used many other means if he was simply after publicity. Just because we class ourselves as spiritual we don't class ourselves as enlightened. People alway make errors in judgement but, it how we eveolve and learn from those and he is trying to do that. if he was simply after publicity he would simply be doing the same as he didi years ago and insulting people. I my view of him and using my own experiences and what I have learned, he has started to own his own mistakes and is onw his own spiritual journey. | |||

Just because he has got himself clean dosent stop him being the bellend he has always been ad yes ive been in the same place myself.fact is russel will spout bollox most of the time and every now and then come out with something half sensible.just because he got hiself clean dosent meen he is free from criticism.anything to keep himself in the public eye basically" No, the point I'm making is someone who is on their own spiritual journey should refrain from negative thought and action, if you do have negative thought and action, part of the journey is to recognise this and use it to question why you where negative. Only a few people have become enlightened andthe rest of us only seek it. I make mistakes daily and have to use those mistake to try and learn about myself and improve. | |||

"He was undoubtedly a twat in his younger years, and I for one couldn't wait to punch his face in whenever I saw him. However, as time has gone on he's quit the booze and drugs, re-evaluated himself and actually ended up doing some very good works for people- like trying to stop the entire population of a North London housing estate from being forced out of their homes by developers, for instance. Yes, his actions towards Andrew Sachs were vile, and so were Jonathan Ross's. However, having met the lady in question, trust me, she was no shrinking flower- and she dined out off the publicity garnered from that for years afterwards, as she also did from her 'shock revelations' about her affair with Adam Ant. The London music industry was FULL of these kinds of people in the 00s: indeed, it was one of the major reasons I quit. Whatever the lady in question was like has no bearing on his actions, they were entirely his and Jonathon Ross's responsibility. Hear, hear!! Absolutely this. Victim-blaming is never okay. Be better than that. " The only victim in his scenario was the late Mr Sachs, not the woman in question who became a millionaire by flogging her story to the daily scandal rags. It was HIM I felt sorry for, he didn't deserve any of that bullshit or negative publicity in the twilight of his years. Please don't presume tell me what is and isn't "OK" or how to "be": to retiterate, I was actually THERE at the time, with close friends within that social circle, so I think I do kind of know what I'm talking about more than random people who weren't. | |||

What I am saying in negativity goes completely against what spiritual guru's teach and against one own spiritual path to seek enlightenment. I also don't judge Rusel Brand on his past actions and what I see of his person is only a small glimse and all I do in commend him and that and his spiritual life he has begun to lead. Even if he where somehow, putting on an act' if one person can learn something positive from that, that is a good thing. | |||

"He was undoubtedly a twat in his younger years, and I for one couldn't wait to punch his face in whenever I saw him. However, as time has gone on he's quit the booze and drugs, re-evaluated himself and actually ended up doing some very good works for people- like trying to stop the entire population of a North London housing estate from being forced out of their homes by developers, for instance. Yes, his actions towards Andrew Sachs were vile, and so were Jonathan Ross's. However, having met the lady in question, trust me, she was no shrinking flower- and she dined out off the publicity garnered from that for years afterwards, as she also did from her 'shock revelations' about her affair with Adam Ant. The London music industry was FULL of these kinds of people in the 00s: indeed, it was one of the major reasons I quit. Whatever the lady in question was like has no bearing on his actions, they were entirely his and Jonathon Ross's responsibility. Hear, hear!! Absolutely this. Victim-blaming is never okay. Be better than that. The only victim in his scenario was the late Mr Sachs, not the woman in question who became a millionaire by flogging her story to the daily scandal rags. It was HIM I felt sorry for, he didn't deserve any of that bullshit or negative publicity in the twilight of his years. Please don't presume tell me what is and isn't "OK" or how to "be": to retiterate, I was actually THERE at the time, with close friends within that social circle, so I think I do kind of know what I'm talking about more than random people who weren't. But what has the woman got to do with Brand's and Ross's actions at the time? It was her to whom they were referring on the air that 'infamous' day. Yes I know but she wasn't responsible for their actions. I'm asking because I wonder why you mentioned her in the context you did. " The general impression I got, including from my friend who dated her, was that she was complicit in the whole affair and actually put Russell up to it (though don't quote me on that, I the last thing I would want after losing my job during the worldwide shutdown is to become embroiled in a costly legal wrangle over semantics) However, I do know that she at the very least thanked him for it because of the immense publicity (and money) generated as a result. Make of that what one will. | |||

Two adult men in the public eye did something really stupid. The end | |||

"He have started to talk about covid on his utube channel, are you also watching it? I like it, it is interesting as he just doesnt have one view, where he is talking about all kinds of things surrounding covid, he also have interviews with others, it is very informative and I recommend it as one to watch "I thought he was a bit of an entitled tosser for ages.. And never found him funny.. When he goy into heroin chique and pseudo rocks tar mode I ignored him completely However,I did begin to watch a lot of his videos recently . He is I think a decent caring kind of guy who is also a bit sceptical of lots of things.. Which isn't a bad way to be.. I doubt very much if he is trying to alter people' views on Covid.. Possibly the impact of being locked up self isolation and depression? I can see him doing that.. He seems okay to me just a decent bloke really.. | |||
"So because russel is on a journey people cant say negative things about him? Just because he has got himself clean dosent stop him being the bellend he has always been ad yes ive been in the same place myself.fact is russel will spout bollox most of the time and every now and then come out with something half sensible.just because he got hiself clean dosent meen he is free from criticism.anything to keep himself in the public eye basically No, the point I'm making is someone who is on their own spiritual journey should refrain from negative thought and action, if you do have negative thought and action, part of the journey is to recognise this and use it to question why you where negative. Only a few people have become enlightened andthe rest of us only seek it. I make mistakes daily and have to use those mistake to try and learn about myself and improve. I am on my spiritual which is unique to me, it doesn't mean i can't critisise RB. I don't judge you an any level, you are you and your journey is wonderful and you feel free to judge or comment on what you like, that is your chioce. What I am saying in negativity goes completely against what spiritual guru's teach and against one own spiritual path to seek enlightenment. I also don't judge Rusel Brand on his past actions and what I see of his person is only a small glimse and all I do in commend him and that and his spiritual life he has begun to lead. Even if he where somehow, putting on an act' if one person can learn something positive from that, that is a good thing." | |||
"He has evolved considerably through doing the 12 steps. He points towards important truths these days. But of course some only see the sins of the past " 100% this . We love the changed person he's become! | |||
"He has evolved considerably through doing the 12 steps. He points towards important truths these days. But of course some only see the sins of the past Well said!! His addiction answers for a lot of his past mistakes. He is a little pretentious now with his big words he uses but he is extremely intelligent and usually speaks a lot of sense" He was sober and already in recovery for years when he thought it was “hilarious” to insult Andrew Sachs granddaughter | |||
"I can't stand that man that made a joke I didn't like, for which he apologised, and quit the BBC, thirteen years ago. I dislike him so much I'm going to give him the time and energy to let the internet know just how much I can't stand him.
He was sacked because of his stupid stunt the day following his lewd comments, his actions on MTV showed him up for the total bell end he is, and ultimately led to him being rightly sacked."Thanks, Jamie. | |||

"His youtube channel is great. Yes. I think so too, he is also a very spirutual person, which I like about him too
Can't stand the guy, he wasn't very spiritual when he humiliated Andrew Sachs with lewd comments about his granddaughter.
In my opinion, no intellectual would find that kind of thing funny or appropriate.
"I'll just speak for my boyfriend Russell here now as he isn't able to defend himself. Haven't we all made mistakes in our past and caused hurt to others? If you followed his story, which I get that you probably haven't, not being a fan an' all; he has gone to great lengths to make heartfelt apologies to those he has done wrong in his life when he was young and foolish and battling addiction . This is a part of the 12 step programme which he incorporates into his life on a daily basis. He has been to hell and back with his addictions and now spends his time mentoring others. He has a deep deep understanding of human psychology and what drives addiction in us. Leave my Russell alone  | |||
"I'm not a fan, actually, I'm really not a fan. But I think people should be allowed and if appropriate applauded for changing themselves for the better. Changing is hard so anyone who can achieve that is doing well. As for his channel on glue lube....never seen it so can't fairly comment on it. But if its promoting thought and discussion... What's the harm? "
people dont get a chance to grow and learn and change anymore, they just get cancelled | |||

"Thats true and i think it was a watershed moment for him, i think ,like ross whose show he was on, was like russell was , off his tits, and he took what was really ,ive said some stupid shit at times , and not being particularly witty , i mote than made up for it with puerile and and offensive crudity! Its quite difficult to face up to the offence and pain has been created by conceit and arriogance, especially if comments are a breach of someones trust! So when it happens it has to include the reasons why the person said what they said , i think he , (brand) having worked through the twelve step programme of narcotics anonymous , has at some stage , compiled what is regarded as a “fearless moral inventory” , listing everyone who has been a victim of the addicts selfishness cruelty , neglect, abuse, and deceipt, while they were in the grip of their addiction, each one of these people is usually contacted , and if they agree to meet face to face , an effort is made to address the specific damage caused by the addicts words or actions which destroyed that relationship, even if there is no positive outcome ,or likely reply , the addict irequires it of himself to address each person , so that he no longer uses his relationships to enable and nurture his addictive thoughts and behaviour. I m not in any way excusing the things he may have said or done when he was using, but he has acknowledged his lifelong struggle to recover from it, and in itself , i think it deserves , at least , recognition, part of the twelve step programme also includes , acknowledging the need to forgive oneself for the pain and harm caused to oneself . And also others who may also have ostracised or sought to sanction the addicts behaviour . If we make changes , our relationships change , if we hold on to hurt blame and judgement , that is where we remain , its quite easy to turn away and wash our hands , pointing out , leopards cant change their spots , once an addict always an addict etc, i suppose in the end , we can be thankful our own selfish fuckwittery and punishment of others is not witnessed by 2 or 3 milion others at the time, or heaven forfend , we would never move on would we?" I love this. Thank you. Its what I wanted to say  | |||
