Russell Brand Leans Heavily to Turning Point USA as New Sexual Assault Allegations Surface
Russell Brand has just been hit with two additional criminal charges—one count of rape and one count of sexual assault—by the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service, bringing the total number of women who have come forward against him to six.
This comes right on the heels of Brand appearing at the Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix, Arizona, where he gave a prayer-soaked speech praising Donald Trump and dedicated a discernible portion of his stage time to airing out his grievances about his ex-wife Katy Perry dating Justin Trudeau. If life in 2025 were a movie, the screenwriter would’ve been fired by now for how heavy-handed the symbolism is.
Barefoot spiritual guru caught between courtroom hearings and campaign rallies, wielding the Bible in one hand while the other points a finger at “globalist stooges,” questioning everyone else’s moral compass while his victims line up with sexual assault allegations that span two decades? I’m expecting Laurence Fishburne to turn up at my door with the red pill any day now.
The new charges, relating to two additional women, were announced by London’s Metropolitan Police on Tuesday (per Variety), and the alleged offenses seem to have taken place in 2009. Brand had previously been accused of rape, indecent assault, and sexual assault by four different women. He has denied the accusations, of course, but proceedings for these will take place in mid 2026, and Brand will have to shuffle into court on January 20 to address the new allegations.
The conservative makeover is not enough to bury what six women have to say about Russell Brand’s conduct
Brand opened his America Fest appearance by dropping to his knees and thanking the Lord for the opportunity to be there. He then paid tribute to Erika Kirk, the widow of the assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, for her “example of forgiveness.” He then proceeded to tell the crowd that unless they’re following Christ, they will fail and let other people down, which is rather curious when you take these new allegations into account.
Brand also took an unexpected detour from the culture war commentary to weigh in on his former wife Katy Perry’s relationship with Justin Trudeau. “Look, Katy Perry, I was married to her. I love her still, and I’m glad that her mom’s in the room to hear me say this,” he said. “I was okay with Orlando Bloom. But Justin Trudeau? Come on, man. Don’t put me in a category with that guy. That globalist stooge.” Even the crowd was unsure how to react to that particular bit, which is saying a lot.
The actor-turned-social media influencer hasn’t addressed the latest allegations, but he did post a video on his X timeline beseeching the Lord to let the truth about his situation come to light. As one content creator succinctly put it, “Nothing is more disgusting than people using religion as a cover for their nasty behavior.”
Whether the MAGA faithful stick by their YouTube preacher as his charges multiply remains to be seen. Russell Brand may have transformed from a sex-obsessed Hollywood libertine into a spiritually elevated Bible-thumper in just a few years, but no matter how much he milks the “born-again” routine, his precarious legal situation is casting a large shadow over a prospective future as a member of the so-called intellectual dark web.
