Strongly disagree. These idols are not born they're manufactured. When tv channels (or any other entertainment medium) sign someone they become that channels asset and these assets are given the full beneficial pr treatment. In Brands case he was neither a comedian or actor but he did have a gift of attracting viewers due his vulgarity and womanising which in turn caused controversy which in turn led to more people tuning in which led to his tv masters making money. And they did that by feeding stories and pics to their trusted msm cohorts and paparazzi. It's how they roll.Disagree that the media made him. He was a successful comedian and actor in his own right, and the media happily followed along for the ride.
That is why i think that if Brand ends up in the dock his tv masters should be there with him because they encouraged and enabled his behaviour.
AbsolutelyWhat a coward. If she was truly bothered about it, she should have done or said something about it way back then. Coming out with this now indicates she's just going along with the herd for approval and likes.
Ah, ok, but here in lies the conundrum. No one reported Jimmy Savile and there was widespread condemnation of the people 'who knew'. There were no 'investigative journalists' looking into Savile and people were asking why not. Savile was never charged with any criminality and none of the evidence against him was tested in a court of law. But yet we ALL say he was guilty. Why do we have this double standard? As for the media, none have actually said Brand is guilty.The women didn't go to the police, though, and he's not been charged by the police, so the above [criminal justice system] does not apply yet. The media sought the women out and pushed forth a 'presumed guilty' narrative. The media today lives to take people down and destroy them before there's even an official police charge made. That's what makes situations like this even more abhorrent and despicable.
