AI GeneratedThis discussion critiques the legal and media campaign against Russell Brand, alleging that a documentary used actresses and paid incentives to fabricate a narrative of abuse. A former partner testifies to the consensual nature of their relationship and Brand's genuine religious conversion, arguing that he is being targeted for his current political and spiritual beliefs.
Now, there is a question about how this whole thing got started,
because there is this activist
journalist, Roz Irwin, who was behind the whole thing.
This is the person who basically put
together the collection of women who came forward
and participated in that so-called documentary,
which kicked things off, which we've been discussing with our audience.
The notion of having actresses
play the alleged victims in a so-called documentary is farcical.
They are professional actresses who will portray the part of a victim.
Obviously, potentially much better than an actual faker might
who is telling lies about
the perpetrator. I mean, this is just
the whole thing is dishonest on its face.
They play the scary music under the women's testimonial.
And now you have this woman who
was with Russell. Her name is Georgina Bally.
I know you know about her.
She's now criticizing Russell,
but she gave an interview in October of 2023.
Uh, suggesting she too was contacted by so-called journalists,
not necessarily from this so-called
Dispatches documentary, but she,
the journalists out there trying to get dirt on Russell had been
calling her too. And this is what she said on the podcast.
Anything goes back then.
So I've been receiving calls from Channel Four
since 2020 about this, and they've wanted me to contribute to it.
And I just said, well, I don't really have anything
to say other than everything was
consensual because that's the truth.
And I had a few of these randoms sending me messages
on social media and stuff.
And so it's been sort of in my hemisphere for a long time.
But I just...
They offered you money?
Yeah.
How much?
Oh, I can't remember.
But like it was, they wanted me to...
Basically, anybody who's spoken to me from the mainstream media
is trying to get me to bend to their narrative,
and I simply will not do it, because it's not the truth.
So they're trying to get you to be in the Dispatch documentary?
No, so not people from Dispatch,
but there were a few people that were saying, like,
you know, how did you feel used or anything like that.
And really, I was using him just as much as he was using me.
Somebody's going, look, there's 10 grand.
Say this about Russell.
100% of the time, you're going to take the money.
Then, when I was younger, absolutely, that's what I did.
So these journalists, so-called journalists,
real journalists don't offer money for stories,
have been sniffing around Russell's ex-girlfriends
for quite some time now, Samantha.
Yeah.
Yeah, I believe that they've also planted the narrative
in the comedy industry because I'd never heard it before 2023,
right before the documentary was going to come out.
So maybe some comedians really believe that there was an open secret.
They may have heard a rumor that had been planted by a journalist.
But if there really was, it would have been around in 2014,
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, all these years I was around Russell.
When he was an activist and I was working with him and they knew that.
And you is it true you offered to give character evidence
on Russell's behalf, but the defense did not follow up with you?
I did. I sent an email to his lawyers before Christmas.
I told him about something that I thought was contempt of court.
The other comedian pushing the false narrative on stage
when the attorney general had warned about contempt of court
and reporting was restricted.
So I wrote about that. I also wrote about that to the police.
And I said that I can be a character witness if you need me.
I knew that he would have
difficulty getting anyone for his defense
because of the cancel culture that we have and people
have mortgages and kids to feed. I'm already canceled.
I've got nothing to lose. Um, so
yeah, I didn't hear back. I did follow up, still didn't hear back.
Not sure what happened. I just
assumed maybe he's already got a strong defense.
I wish I'd, I wish I'd tried harder now.
Well, I mean, it was their obligation to follow up with you.
Uh, you did more than most people
would do, which is volunteer to come forward and,
and help a man who's become a pariah.
Samantha, all I can think of as I cover this case
is my friend Charlie Kirk, who did interview
Russell. And as with virtually everything,
Charlie saw the story correctly from the beginning
and had the following exchange with Russell,
some of which we pulled. Watch this.
The entire government is going after
Russell. I hope you guys know that.
You're under attack from the UK government on,
I think, completely fake stuff.
And you better believe the enemy's not happy
that now you're proclaiming Jesus in front of millions of people.
And, you know, we as believers believe Satan is real,
Satan is active, Satan attacks, Satan targets.
Satan is literally, in Hebrew,
Satan means the prosecutor, the deceiver.
So all of what you are going through
in the United Kingdom is a satanic attack.
To try to say, oh, Russell, remember
that thing that happened 10 years ago?
Try to have you feel guilty and ashamed.
Remember, Satan throughout
the scriptures would constantly always whisper,
whether it be in the garden or elsewhere, about,
oh, you need to be held back by what you once did.
But Christ sets you free.
It's chilling to watch.
Charlie would be dead within weeks of that conversation.
But he saw exactly what was happening to Russell.
And there are demons out there.
And the entire UK wants us to believe that Russell is one of them,
as opposed to Russell was a big star with a lot of groupies
who threw themselves at him.
He did not have to perform non-consensual sex acts on women.
He had hundreds, if not thousands,
of options for consensual sex, but found God,
reformed himself, changed his political outlook.
Found someone he truly loved, had three children with her.
They are completely resistant to that
narrative because the new version of Russell
is what they find truly deplorable, Samantha.
The old version of Russell, they completely supported,
allowed, promoted. It was the new
version that they objected to.
Yeah, and he was a sick man back then. He was an addict and
they used him. The media used him. They enabled him in his promiscuity.
And, um, and now that he's cleaned up his life
and his conversion is genuine, I've,
I've been to countless, um,
very small work in progress shows, Q and A's that he did.
And he would often recite the St. Francis prayer before he
was officially a Christian.
So I know that his walk with Christ is a hundred percent genuine.
I've given him books about Christianity.
He was very grateful to receive them,
but they're trying to make out that he's, um,
Made it all up to to try
and avoid getting caught for the alleged things that he did.
I mean, he he was promiscuous,
but I don't believe that he was a criminal.
It's it's very chilling.
I don't I just feel like I don't understand how.
A close relative to the United States,
somebody as close as the UK, a country as close in so many
ways and from which we hail originally,
could be this far gone when it comes to due process and a
man's rights. The media, even
though they weren't allowed to report on the case with analysis while
it was ongoing, boy, as soon as it was unleashed,
there's, I mean, literally every single person
over there other than Dan Whitten, I think, in the media.
Is going with this. He has almost no defenders. It's very unfair.
Yeah, and like I say, if he did have
defenders, they would be cancelled.
Thank
That's what it's like here now.
People are getting arrested, ordinary people, for social media posts.
We have hate crime laws.
We basically have a blasphemy law coming through
so that you can't criticise Islam.
Just Islam, not Christianity, only Islam.
So it's really weird.
It's really creepy.
you.
It is sinister.
It is demonic.
Thank you, Monique.
Yeah, it's...
It's hard to stay hopeful, but I'm just doing my bit.
I'm telling the truth about Russell, what I know of him.
And I do feel that I know his heart.
I think he's a good man.
Like everyone, he's made his mistakes,
but he's been in repentance
from his former lifestyle for over a decade.
