>Brand's management company/agent dropped him too. Should they have to continue to represent Russell Brand while the accusations pile up, his reputation sinks, and anyone associated with him risks collateral damage?
His management agent is not a globally dominant platform or infrastructure provider.
- gregjor 3y agoRussell Brand was not banned or kicked off the internet, Google, or even YouTube. His videos got demonetized because YouTube had ethical and contractual obligations to their advertisers and users. Focus on the penalties Brand has actually suffered -- demonetization of his videos, cancellations of some tour dates, book publisher getting squeamish -- rather than extrapolating the incident into an imaginary global soul-crushing dystopia. It may turn out that Brand got wrongfully accused, though I doubt it, given that multiple women who don't know each other doing that seems unlikely, especially given Brand's self-admitted promiscuity and sex addiction, and cringe behavior towards women you can easily find. But if he's not guilty then he'll get his YouTube monetization back, and thanks to the UK's libel laws he would make a small fortune suing the TV channel and newspapers and the accusers.
