Russell Brand<\/strong> is going to need some money for lawyers soon, but he certainly won\u2019t be getting it from YouTube<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n As Perezcious readers have likely heard by now, the controversial comedian has been accused of some pretty disturbing things over the past few days\u2026 From sexual assault, rape, and emotional abuse allegations from MULTIPLE women — including one who was just 16 at the time — to some rather unsavory interviews popping up from back in the day that don\u2019t necessarily help his innocent plea. We\u2019re definitely witnessing the beginning of his very public downfall. And it looks like some major companies are beginning to distance themselves from him.<\/p>\n Early Tuesday morning, YouTube announced that it had \u201csuspended monetization\u201d from Russell\u2019s channels due to its \u201cCreator Responsibility policy.\u201d The video sharing site wrote in a statement, \u201cIf a creator\u2019s off-platform behavior harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community,\u201d firmly adding:<\/p>\n \u201cThis decision applies to all channels that may be owned or operated by Russell Brand.\u201d<\/p>\n Russell, of course, has several YouTube channels where he\u2019s more recently come to spout right-wing, conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxx jargon.<\/p>\n But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform taking action\u2026<\/p>\n On Tuesday, the BBC<\/strong> announced they are removing some of the Forgetting Sarah Marshall<\/em> star\u2019s content from their platform as it now \u201cfalls below public expectations.\u201d They wrote in a statement:<\/p>\n \u201cThe BBC<\/em> does not ban or remove content when it is a matter of public record unless we have justification for doing so. There is limited content featuring Russell Brand on iPlayer and Sounds. We\u2019ve reviewed that content and made a considered decision to remove some of it, having assessed that it now falls below public expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n Obviously he’s been a guest on a great many shows over the years. The outlet noted that as of now, an episode of comedy quiz show QI<\/em> and a Joe Wicks<\/strong> podcast, which both feature Russell, have been removed. It’s unclear what else will be, or what makes those special — maybe he made some kind of off-color jokes? It wouldn’t be the first time.<\/p>\n Brand isn’t facing any official charges yet, but that may actually be coming. In any case, the multiple accusations from several women are enough for now.<\/p>\n Do you think this was an appropriate move, Perezcious readers?? Let us know in the comments down below!<\/p>\n
