Piers is then joined by comedian Samantha Pressdee, who says she was once involved with Brand and saw no evidence of him being a predator, and TalkTV contributors Ava Santina and Esther Krakue, to debate presumption of guilt and whether accusers should remain anonymous.
Russell Brand released the following statement on his channel:
"Now, this isn't the usual type of video we make on this channel where we critique, attack and undermine the news in all its corruption because in this story, I am the news. I've received two extremely disturbing letters or a letter and an email. One from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, as well as some pretty stupid stuff like community festival should be stopped, that I shouldn't be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel. But amidst this litany of astonishing rather baroque attacks, often very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.
"These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies. And as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that.
"Then almost too transparent, and I'm being transparent about it now as well. And to see that transparency metastasized into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question, is there another agenda at play? Particularly when we've seen coordinated media attacks before, like with Joe Rogan, when he dared to take a medicine that the mainstream media didn't approve of, and we saw a spate of headlines from media outlets across the world using the same language. "
"I'm aware that you guys have been saying in the comments for a while, watch out, Russell. They're coming from you. You're getting too close to the truth. Russell Brand did not kill himself. I know that a year ago there was a spate of articles.
"Russell Brand’s a conspiracy theorist, Russell Brand’s right wing. I'm aware of news media making phone calls, sending letters to people I know for ages and ages. It's being clear to me, or at least it feels to me like there's a serious and concerted agenda to control these kind of spaces and these kind of voices. And I mean, my voice along with your voice. I don't mind them using my books and my standout to talk about my promiscuous consensual conduct in the past.
"What I seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations. Also, it's worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narrative that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, apparently, in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack.
"Now, I don't wanna get into this any further because of the serious nature of the allegations, but I feel like I'm being attacked and plainly they're working very closely together. We are obviously going to look into this matter 'cause it's very, very serious. In the meantime, I want you to stay close, stay awake, but more important than any of that, if you can, please stay free."

I think we have enough evidence here to accuse Ava of idiocy.
-
It’s fair the women remain anonymous, but the accused should remain anonymous until proven guilty in a court of law. Simple.
-
“Your opinion sucks on this”. Wow, what an intelligent and articulate young lady.
-
As a rape survivor….. I have compassion for the women. But if we aren’t pointing women to report, nothing will change. But there are millions, yes, I said it, millions of women who will accuse a man of rape simply because she is angry or regretful, and it’s simply not fair
-
Ava is irrational. You cannot reason with her. Innocent until proven guilty is not a concept she understands
-
What's more interesting is that its been years and we still don't have the Epstein list and the media is silent.
-
Well played to the 2 women who actually have talked sense throughout, Ava you need to have a word with yourself
-
The demons have learned they can destroy a person from accusations alone.
-
Journalists are not judges , they have an agenda .
-
Ava is ridiculous. Already made up her mind about Russell's guilt. Irresponsible reporting.
-
Ava has comiited financial fraud. Now, she must prove her innocence, according to her logic
-
Being shouted over isn't a conversation, it's bullying.
-
The fact that this has all been handled through the media and not the police tells me everything I need to know.
-
Innocent until PROVEN guilty .
-
Ava strikes me as a dangerous woman. She'd be the type to take something innocent that someone had said or done and turn it in a way to stab them in the back to get them fired or worse. Avoid avoid avoid.

I worked as a teacher at Visitacion Valley Middle School in the early 2010's which was and probably still is the most underprivileged middle school in San Francisco. The school had a meditation program that was developed by our principal at the time who was an incredible person and had recently received the US middle school principal of the year award. Russel came to the school more than once to help promote the very unique meditation program at this school. He was a completely selfless guy that had a huge impact on the kids at this school. He even sat and watched a middle school basketball game on campus. With many slandering him currently I’d just like to say that I walked away from my interactions with him thinking he was a great human.

Calling Ava a journalist is like calling fred west a nanny

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”

Russell is a comedian and an actor. I've seen over the years of his career with his looks and flirtatious nature, people have kind of created a "Brand" for his public character as being a very flirtatious Casanova, which he plays up when ever the camera is on and does well. As any performer would. I have no doubt he's different when the camera's are off. Personaly I think the sad thing is, with all this crap that we can't say or do anything without the fear being shot down or persecuted, it's no wonder most men are nervous to even say or do anything. A very sad world we live in.

Did they forget about jonny depp being accused of horrendous acts , later proven innocent and at the same time amber walking out of this with no remorse and jail time.
