Russell Brand Sparks Outrage with Netflix Show Comments Amidst Legal Controversy

Rumbler

Again: Russell Brand makes news but not for his comedy or acting skills. The incendiary firebrand’s latest activity is his outburst over social media against Adolescence, a show from Netflix, but before anyone started to purr about this, tumbleweed. The hurtful Brand seemed chiefly interested in trashing ‘legacy media narratives’ instead of the series. Who’s buying it?

The responses? Intense. White Claw Daddy had no qualms in suggesting: “@rustyrockets should be worried about your charges. bye bye loser.” Ouch. And PrissyMissy returned fire: “It tracks that you would defend the abuse of women. I bet you’re having a fantastic day today. Tick tock, tick tock.”

Heating things up even further, there is obvious evidence that, in Brand’s case, these stark opinions overshadow his current legal issues.

Not quite out of legal troubles, here comes Brand charged, apparently surrounded by yet another controversy. Mixing it up with Ryan Meston who now does the challenging: “It’s a charge that they claimed happened 25 years, why is it only going now accord before the courts? KJ was not going to have any of that: “Maybe try and stop obsessively trying to defend a predator,” said.

This has not stopped the exchange and really you know he is fast than he can delete his tweets.

Some fans were trying to steer the conversation back at least to the show. Wyndi threw in a rare positive comment: “one of the best shows I’ve seen in years”. But why care for a show review when some gossip is going on?

His subsequent shift to what can be termed commentary, politics, and conspiracy-ridden material have seen many more former fans disown him, and it looks like this will only make things worse.

IrishAmericanNinja swept Wesley Snipes into the mix: “I swear to god if Wesley Snipes starts telling me I suck for being white, I’m going to lose my mind!” Pure digression, that. Added Edmundo Fang, “Said without hint of irony.” Twitter at its best.

As appropriate replies came pouring in, it soon became clear: Russell Brand has become synonymous with the controversy these days. A hard hit on Netflix or lacking in dodging bullets fired by an impending law suit, and contrary to peaceful refusal, the internet has attitudes. And rather frank ones, too.

What next for Brand? More hot takes? The obscene piles of money in court? The die-hards are about exhausted right now. But what we do know for certain-it will be a train wreck for many months to come.

Narrowing down towards believing the sensationalized claim, or are you ready to side up with “well overdue”? Either way, just stack it and come with popcorn. The show has many scenes left to go on.
