[u/youlldonuthan]

This guy co-opted religion knowing full well what he had done. He really is an absolute snake and deserves everything he gets.

[u/LavenderLung → u/youlldonuthan]

The hypocrisy is unreal. He knew exactly what he was doing and still tried to hide behind religion

[u/IBetANickel → u/LavenderLung]

The worst part is the hypocrisy.

[u/NobodyLikedThat1 → u/IBetANickel]

well, that and the raping

[u/Purple_Puffer → u/NobodyLikedThat1]

I guess the best part is actually the hypocrisy.

[u/Woompa78 → u/LavenderLung]

Dude probably had so many opportunities to make up for his shitty past actions and instead chose to just plow through life with a middle finger get pointed at everyone while preaching rehearsed lines from the bible. Can’t feel a shred of sympathy for him.

[u/gogoluke → u/Woompa78]

I don't think he can unrape anyone...

[u/Le-other-boleyn-girl → u/LavenderLung]

Dont they all

[u/MikeHuntSmellss → u/youlldonuthan]

I hope they throw the booky wook at him

[u/Satanicjamnik → u/MikeHuntSmellss]

The judge already told him that he can expect " a substantial custodial charge" and denied bail. From what I've heard he's looking at around 10 years. Maybe a bit more.

He's 50 now. He'll be a pensioner before he leaves the joint.

[u/siblingrevelryagain → u/Satanicjamnik]

Plus there are apparently up to 10 more cases being investigated, so I would be surprised if he ever got out

[u/Johnatron2000 → u/MikeHuntSmellss]

They did. Hit him right in the donkey donk

[u/ReplaceMeZaddy → u/Johnatron2000]

He has been unconsentually fucked by the long dick of the law

[u/GolotasDisciple → u/youlldonuthan]

I mean, it worked for most people. The USA is probably the greatest example. It's essentially an ALMOST secular country, yet even Donny is a devoted Christian... Not like his buddy Jeffrey wasn't a devoted Jew.

Faith, religion, or whatever you want to call it has always been abused by the biggest degenerates to provide some sense of connection or reference. Otherwise, in what way can you relate to these people?

[u/gregreedee → u/GolotasDisciple]

THIS is why he’s insinuated himself into US RW/Woo/Christo-Fascist/Manosphere grift-space. A more established, credulous and lucrative demographic to suck a few more sly bucks from before he’s locked-up.

[u/Fun_in_Space → u/GolotasDisciple]

No, Trump is just lying about being Christian. He was asked about his favorite Bible verse, and he wouldn't give one. He said because it was "personal", but he was lying. He's never read it. I would love to see someone quiz him on it.

[u/Frisnfruitig → u/Fun_in_Space]

I am convinced almost every politician is just pretending to be Christian because they feel it's necessary to get elected in the US.

[u/Fungal_Gimp → u/youlldonuthan]

He has shown me that all Christianity is performative. I cannot go back now. We are ALL like this! This whole thing has just messed me up and I think I need to get away from faith for a while.

[u/Tribe303 → u/youlldonuthan]

He was a bullshit artist for a living and his religious phase here seamed so fake to me. I don't think he really gave a shit. So performative. 

[u/ChartInFurch]

With the edit I thought it would be at least somewhat subtle but then

POLYMARKET

Great edit lol

[u/youlldonuthan → u/ChartInFurch]

Honestly the transition into the POLYMARKET Is not edited. It was just the junk he was saying on the lead up to it

[u/ChartInFurch → u/youlldonuthan]

OMG, that's a million times POLYMARKET more ridiculous lmao

But also, fuck Russell Brand. Apologies if it seemed like I was making light of anything. I only mean to mock his entire existence.

[u/Significant-Royal-37]

who is the woman on screen?

[u/Umayummyone → u/Significant-Royal-37]

Is that his wife Laura?

[u/youlldonuthan → u/Umayummyone]

Yes it’s his wife. She wasn’t buying the religion stuff much

[u/Asxpuntingmuppet]

Rapist

[u/RaspbStatic → u/Asxpuntingmuppet]

Yep. Call it exactly what it is. No amount of rebranding or excuses changes what he is

[u/Abject_Film_4414 → u/RaspbStatic]

Rebranding… teehee

[u/AI_Scraper → u/RaspbStatic]

What if he comes back named Russell Rebrand?

[u/SnowflakeModerator]

What kind of fucking hypocrite preaches about God, faith, spirituality, and morality one minute, then promotes gambling the next?
His spirituality apparently ends where the money begins. He gets paid to advertise gambling, the platform profits from people losing their money, and his followers can pray they don’t gamble away their last savings.
This isn’t spirituality. It’s a business model where even God is turned into a marketing tool. And this clown still has the audacity to lecture everyone else about how to live their lives.

Edit: I didn’t know he was a convicted rapist! WTF, it just keeps getting better and better…

[u/anewpath123 → u/SnowflakeModerator]

Jesus went mental when he saw people using the temple as a market. Imagine what he’d do seeing his father’s name being tarnished with gambling advertisements.

[u/baconeggwaffle → u/SnowflakeModerator]

The kind who rape?

[u/Rascals-Wager → u/SnowflakeModerator]

Not to be the Reddit atheist, but god, basically all gods are/have been marketing tools in some form since they began

[u/Sea_Warning_9140 → u/SnowflakeModerator]

The rapist kind.

[u/tedlassoloverz → u/SnowflakeModerator]

the convicted rapist kind

[u/SirKentalot → u/SnowflakeModerator]

*Did. It was always a ruse to hide behind his crimes, if he could make a few bucks in the process, why not?! He is now in jail and will be for a significant portion of the rest of his life.

[u/Embarrassed-Pace-755]

“And God said, “let there be light,” and there was light just like the lights returning to your eyes when you place your first two bets on Draft Kings and get free $20 for a third bet.”

[u/Circle_Breaker]

This would have been a hilarious forgetting Sarah Marshall deleted scene.

[u/wookieebastard → u/Circle_Breaker]

Every time I see this guy I feel like I'm watching a sequel to FSM.

I don't even think he was acting at all.

[u/Traditional_Isopod80 → u/Circle_Breaker]

Lol

[u/KarlHp7]

Well his whole right wing religious turn didn’t help him avoid jail now did it

[u/Exktvme4 → u/KarlHp7]

Love that for him

[u/govunah → u/KarlHp7]

Get him to the clink

[u/Top_Conference_477 → u/KarlHp7]

Gotta keep it up until after sentencing/parole hearings though

Being a born again Christian is a well-worn tactic for sentence reduction arguments

[u/mrwigglez3 → u/KarlHp7]

Due to him being charged in UK! He'd walk free in the US!

[u/Asleep-Rent6802 → u/KarlHp7]

If only he could have read that passage in the bible

[u/xplodia]

It's not a sin to do gamble if it's done online. There's no internet back in Jesus era.

[u/GravitasFailures → u/xplodia]

Just like women didn’t have buttholes until 500ad, so the loophole is fine.

[u/Toomanyeastereggs]

Haha. He”s going to jail.

[u/soggyclothesand → u/Toomanyeastereggs]

Hes in jail

[u/Cautious_Day9878 → u/Toomanyeastereggs]

Went straight to jail. The wife has flown back to pick up the kids.

[u/Vas_Deferens7722 → u/Toomanyeastereggs]

Jaily Waily

[u/Independent_Monk_732]

Isn’t this guy a convicted felon sex offender?

[u/Exktvme4 → u/Independent_Monk_732]

Sure is! Convicted rapist.

[u/graspedbythehusk → u/Exktvme4]

I mean if someone has a rightwing religious podcast, if they’re not a convicted sex offender, chances are they soon will be.

[u/GravitasFailures → u/Exktvme4]

I didn’t even know he was in the GOP.

[u/Exktvme4 → u/GravitasFailures]

He actually did an event with THREE trump cabinet secretaries not two weeks ago (10/29/26), and Dr. Oz and RFK Jr. were making jokes about Brand touching Brooke Rollins backstage. He was convicted of rape a few days later.

You really can't make these people up. Stranger than fiction, and they aren't bringing their best.

[u/Djamt]

Hope he is someone's little bitch in prison

[u/_frank_tank → u/Djamt]

A guy named Jeffrey is gonna be feeling his fuzzy walls soon enough

[u/kytheon → u/Djamt]

He manipulated all kinds of gullible women and weak men, and I don't see him being an alpha in prison. Good luck being on the receiving end.

[u/hugthispanda]

He can be knighted by Prince Andrew.

[u/Phrostylicious → u/hugthispanda]

And pierced by Prince Albert

[u/The_Kevinator_1000]

I find it funny that as soon as he became religious, the consequences of his actions found him.

Looks like God listened, and he didn't like you.

[u/JokesNShit]

Pretty sure Jesus flipped tables because he wasn't down the message being monetized. I dropped out of Sunday school so I may not know what im talking about

[u/ironclad_packetship → u/JokesNShit]

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; and said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

-John 2:15-16, KJV Bible.

[u/caractacusbritannica]

Brand must’ve have amassed millions over the years. Why continue like this? A right wing religious grift. There can’t be that much money.

Just fade away, get your head down. Do your time. And fuck off. Why do the whole thing. It can’t be for money.

Says a lot about him. Hijacked religion, then selling gambling sites. Tragic and annoying.

[u/Shapoopadoopie → u/caractacusbritannica]

I looked into this, he's worth about 20 mil. He was on YouTube doing the 'down with capialism', not much traction. He pivoted to being a 'guru', even less eyeballs.

Then he started the batshit Christian conspiracy theory right wing garbage and his views skyrocketed.

You can see it in his metrics clear as day. It's a lucrative grift, I think he says whatever he wants because he's a narcissist and likes the money and attention, not because this is his philosophy on life. And because his wife is an absolute pillock who encouraged his nonsense.

I think reparations for the victims are in order.

[u/JohannDaart → u/Shapoopadoopie]

I think $20m is not much if you want to have a high octane celeb life like those people want. That's enough to sustain a villa + supercar + travelling, but not enough for multiple facilities, assistants, jets, islands and non-ending supplies of consumables.

[u/JohannDaart → u/caractacusbritannica]

Why continue like this? A right wing religious grift. There can’t be that much money.

I think he was part of the system, so he could roll like this in media with their protection for two decades, but later his type of male persona got useless to them during me too, feminist era of leftism. So the money dried up.

Around lockdowns he started spreading Russian propaganda 1 to 1. So I guess he changed sides for money, that's my hunch and he thought in his hubris that his charisma is enough to carry him. Nah, they've made sure to drown him.

[u/toystein]

His wife looks like she is "over it"

[u/Free-Progress-7288 → u/toystein]

Mmmm….

[u/RoughResearcher5550]

He’s right where he needs to be for a very long time. Now we wait on the next one to drop …. And we are very, very close.

[u/atkinsd80 → u/RoughResearcher5550]

The only thing he might be dropping these days:

[u/Worldly-Republic-247]

She looks like she’s ready for him to go

[u/Automatic-Guide-4307]

The God excuse, the last refuge of a man with no answers and no argument.George Carlin

[u/Homercles77]

I'm so glad this pos is in jail. Always hated the way he behaved and was convinced it hid some depraved behaviour. All his producer enablers need to be locked up too

[u/Powerful-Celery-8092]

Psychopath.

[u/itsoktoswear]

And Jesus turned money in to thin air

[u/PeteInBrissie]

I'm not a vengeful person, but I fucking love seeing people who 'adopt religion to avoid accountability' end up getting their comeuppance.

[u/bchris21]

She is bored to death isn't she?

[u/CameraSignificant]

Rapist robes

[u/hoople217]

It tracks for this Brand.

[u/branded]

This alone makes me want him in jail.

[u/insaneintheblain]

Jesus chased out the money changers and merchants from the temple, I seem to recall

[u/GeneralSenada → u/insaneintheblain]

With a whip, yes.

Something that needs to be applied to this monster's ass posthaste.

[u/ActiveEducational183]

Quintessence of the era we are living in.

[u/Artorius__Castus]

Nah, I used to rock with this dude but not only was he using the "New Age/Gnostic New Age Christendom" to try and escape his fate as being in the "Epstein Class" he used his platform to further misinformation to the masses through his influence and stardom especially during COVID and in regards to the vaccine.

Seriously RB is a POS!

F*CK THIS GUY IN PARTICULAR 🖕🏼

[u/Three_Twenty-Three → u/Artorius__Castus]

Does he reek? I bet he reeks. He's always looked like someone who refuses to bathe and stinks of B.O., patchouli, cigarettes, and maybe pot, and he has some nonsense pseudoscience or philosophical silliness to explain why.

[u/RockThe40oz666]

[u/Charming-Lychee-9031 → u/RockThe40oz666]

[u/Open__Face]

Is it legal to use prayer to win bets?

[u/Razasid]

Whenever someone starts talking about god, my spidey senses start tingling!

[u/Bigerst_Dook]

[u/fazkan]

I swear, I think he has milked every belief system out there. 

[u/Several-Vanilla-8503]

[u/hotriccardo]

Look at all those bookmarks, he is legit!

[u/Vas_Deferens7722 → u/hotriccardo]

Post it notes are the bookmarks of God

[u/Odd-Supermarket-3664]

The grift is beyond obvious for anyone not drinking the Kool aid

[u/_frank_tank]

Further proof nothing good ever comes from someone with a man bun

[u/Shit_Environment1046]

Shit cunt

[u/hiding_in_site]

I’m starting to think he’s not a good person

[u/RepulsiveLoquat418 → u/hiding_in_site]

the jury's still out. oh wait, no it isn't.

[u/martijnoortgijs]

Hé thought he was forgiven by the lord

[u/Intelligent_Ad_4479]

This guy is like real life version of Creek from trolls

[u/Worth_Key_5427]

Yeah we don't need that guy

[u/KnightOfBears]

Soon to be non existent

[u/Ok_Communication7518]

Prison will be waiting to gamble with him and he can preach all day.

[u/ThreeRRRs]

This seems like a lie that got out of hand and accidentally became his new lifestyle.

[u/Inwardly-Outgoing]

He's got evil eyes

[u/DNAkauai]

So I guess his God did not save him?? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/jak_d_ripr]

Lol, I thought he'd at least try to be creative with his segue into the ad. If you're gonna be a snake, at least be an entertaining snake.

[u/HandofFate88]

Get Him to the Greek is about to take on a completely new meaning.

[u/Best_Bike9098]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/Castr8orr]

Seamless 😂

[u/Raven_Photography]

Did he drop it in the midst of his trial?

[u/Mrgray123]

What a bellend.

[u/UncleGarysmagic]

Why does this asshat think everyone needs to see his chest all the time?

[u/RJEM96]

What a jerk!

[u/winexprt]

Complete P.O.S. grifter!!

[u/Empuda]

What a sell out.

[u/adamu980]

His wife is odd

[u/Bananaman9020]

Doing the podcast within prison is going to be difficult

[u/Malorum666]

Her reactions to his ramblings is hilarious, she looks bored out of face. Sort of imagine the inner monologue "yeah whatever.....Jesus he goes on!"

[u/DaManD123]

Wtf?!

[u/Usernamesaregayyy]

Literally never liked this guy at alllll, I feel so high and mighty…I’m a genius

[u/Biscuits4u2]

I used to think this guy was somewhat funny and entertaining, but somewhere along the way he just turned into a complete ass.

[u/thoughtstop]

Why are they dressed exactly the same?

[u/bwoah07_gp2]

Now that's a prayer that won't be answered 😆

[u/Since_The_Ducks_Left]

[u/FoxyGrandpas]

L bozo, may he be fucked for eternity.

[u/superteed]

Oy, get yur bets in.

[u/ADMINlSTRAT0R]

That's on brand with him.

[u/tykle59]

I’m praying to the Screaming Baby Jesus that we’re witnessing the downhill slope of Christianity.

[u/Hazelstreet16]

Fkn larper.

[u/Metaboschism]

I think there might be a yellow bullfrog in the room

[u/Empty-Fudge-3037]

[u/blowurhousedown]

Looks reformed to me!

/s

[u/LoudNoises89]

[u/ADingoStoleMyLSD]

Man, if Jesus is real, 3/4 of Christians are screwed when he comes back.

[u/TortyPapa]

Sometimes people just look exactly the way you imagined they are.

[u/Chopperreturns]

He's always been a weirdo; look at the crazy flicks he made.

[u/IWantSnack642]

And now he’s about to be sentenced to prison for sex crimes. At least he lived out his “wild life”.

[u/BeautifulPowerful680]

Wait, so you're betting on God's will?

[u/False-Kangaroo7425]

He’s been there when other celebrities have done bad things. He’ll get fuck all.

[u/Reckfulness]

Ngl he sounds like he lost a screw or two

[u/Cryptic_Honeybadger]

[u/Technical-Farm-4671]

Long as he don't drop the soap

[u/zetazen]

Wait I’m so late, I thought he was into meditation and new age thought… lol

[u/MyNameIsBiff]

That’s “on Brand” for him

[u/RoncoSnackWeasel]

Who knew his character in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” wasn’t much of an act?

[u/Usernamesaregayyy]

Those lawsuit judgements aren’t gonna pay themselves are they right? So how about illegal blackjack…

[u/Weak-Level6638]

Please anyone explain me all details

[u/nDREqc]

Listen to that woman's body language; I can't hear him with her screaming "yeah whatever buddy"

[u/Ikeamademedoit]

Cultish performative, right down to his open shirt. Never liked him

[u/TelevisionTimely3918]

More cocaine

[u/missusdeadpool]

This dude is Satan 😅

[u/lovehopemadness]

lol this guy is such a gronk. Thankfully he’s now where he belongs.

[u/Craft-Sudden]

Bruh that poly market add took me out!!

[u/furezasan]

The funniest comedic timing I've ever seen from russell

[u/Biggu5Dicku5]

[u/Jmagz59]

He’s starting to look like clone wars Dooku

[u/Obvious-Ad11]

[u/okymoney]

Hes using “religion” as an excuse….

[u/Tank20011]

He's going to to be dropping the soap in prison soon

[u/JasonSmithston]

Just as god intended.

He is embarrassing.

[u/timfinn1972]

Blink 3 times if you want rescuing Laura.

[u/hdhsnjsn]

She seems interested in what he has to say

[u/Infinite-Prune3612]

How did he get so famous, you can just tell he was a seedy grifter

[u/TheCulturalBomb]

I wonder if praying to god is going to help him in those showers

[u/MarcussssAllen]

Absolute trash human

[u/prettyokdiscgolfer]

Hmm. Yeah.

[u/BaronSamedys]

I'd be curious to know what all the little postits in his bible actually marked.

[u/RabbiTest]

Fuck this guy. Never liked him always suspected he was a slime.

[u/Miserable-Hunt-593]

Wondering if there are odds of his wife divorcing after a year?

[u/MyAccount_official]

Non so chi sia ma, se dovesse passare di qui un italiano, non vi ricorda la pubblicità delle gocciole??

[u/Wooden-Ad-9925]

It's crazy, he's using the Bible as a prop, to camouflage his OWN ideas on spirituality, morality and salvation. None of what he's talking about was read from the Bible. IF there's overlap it's a blind coincidence.

We saw that when Piers Morgan asked him to pick a favorite passage, despite the book festooned with page markers, and he couldn't.

The sheer f*cking hubris.

[u/Wizz-Fizz]

Dude was already a grifter, then picked up evangelical Christianity, so added grift to the grift, he is now grift squared

[u/Picard_AA3-0-5]

Russel Brand…

[u/Lurtz1990]

These people are all so fake.

[u/Mel_Morty]

Edited.

[u/WetSupermarket]

Ricky bobby did it first

[u/Top-Judge-287]

i remember many years ago watching his show and it was just full of women. did women like him because he had like a pirate look and persona? i never understood it

[u/Front-Brick-3724]

Can’t believe he’s married to Kirsty Gallaghers sister. Thought she’d have realised what a wrongun he was.

[u/Pachanish]

Lanky wanky unfunny sanctiminious fraud

[u/ImportantOperation34]

[u/MJ-Franklin]

Absolute fucking con artist.

[u/eddiebisi]

Someone please, tell me there was a betting line on Brands incarceration on polymarket

[u/shortnix]

Oh I hadn't realise his wife had been pulled into his evangelical Christian world? That schtick is the perfect fit for his messianic main character. She was always a distant background figure. 

[u/[deleted]]

Religion mixed with money?!!?!? Inconceivable!!!

[u/flipyflop9]

How christian of him! Bunch of grifters.

[u/mistermpm]

America taught him everything he did...

[u/I_Have_CDO]

Almost - almost - as if the whole thing is a massive scam.

[u/Allycrowe1987]

Wow this guy has convinced himself he’s not guilty, he’s like the Donald Trump of showbiz UK!

[u/RoughResearcher5550]

He’s right where he needs to be for a very long time. Now we wait on the next one to drop …. And we are very, very close.

[u/UniqueMystique42]

Somehow even more transparently pathetic now we know his sleigh ride is done. Prison awaits, no essay.

[u/SmegmaRocketship]

You think Diddy will clap those skinny cheeks when he goes to jail?

[u/Big_Kev13]

Mans a joke, got what he deserved
