YouTube halts Russell Brand channel revenues after sexual assault allegations
- thro_away_4200 3y agoHave any criminal charges been filed?
- nationwidepants 3y agoNo, they don't even have witnesses. The people that "accused" him haven't come out publicly which doesn't build a strong case, only a strong case for the court of public opinion.
- sp332 3y agoI was surprised by the headline, but of course companies don’t want their ads on his channel and this is YouTube’s way of protecting their revenue.
- josefresco 3y agoI've heard (although cannot confirm) that YouTube is still showing ads, just not passing revenue to Brand.
- sp332 3y agoThat’s a little weirder, but at least the companies won’t have people asking why they’re funding him.
