I'm Zara, I'm sam Uk 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 3: Metropolitan Police are now officially investigating allegations of sexual offenses 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: that have been made against comedian Russell Brand. Despite mounting 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 3: pressure and escalating allegations, Brand continues to take to the 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: Internet to defend himself and accuse mainstream media of a 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: coordinated conspiracy to silence him. 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 4: My objectivity has been strongly challenged over recent weeks. Recognize 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 4: that I am an insignificant individual in the scheme of things. 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 4: What is incredibly important is independent media. What is incredibly 21 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 4: important is the ability to hold the establishment to account. 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 4: What is incredibly important is that you have independent media 23 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 4: that doesn't just accept government narratives but investigates challenges mainstream 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 4: legacy media narratives and government narratives. 25 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 3: We're going to tell you what you need to know 26 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 3: about this story in the Deep Dives. But first Sam, 27 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 3: it was an absolutely massive day in Victorian politics. 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: That's right. Daniel Andrews announced he will resign as the 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: Victorian Premier and that will come into effect today. When 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 2: he announced his resignation yesterday afternoon, the outgoing premier said 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: he felt now is the right time to leave the post. 32 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 5: When it's time, it's time. It's not an easy job 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 5: being premier of our state. That's not a complaint, that's 34 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 5: just a fact. It requires one hundred percent from you 35 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 5: and your family. That of course is time limited and 36 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 5: now is the time to step away. 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: His successor is yet to be named, but no doubt 38 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: we'll be talking a lot about Victorian politics in the 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 2: next few weeks. 40 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: The new South Wales government has announced tougher restrictions on 41 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: some short term rentals like airbnbs in popular tourist destination 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 3: Barron Bay, it will cap those rentals to sixty days 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 3: per year instead of the current one hundred and eighty 44 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 3: day rule. The new Barren Bay cap will come into 45 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: effect in twelve months. The change comes one week after 46 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: the Victorian government announced an airbnb tax to address housing stress. 47 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: And you can listen to a deep dive we did 48 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: all about this airbnb housing tax. The links in the 49 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: show notes. 50 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: Anthony Alberzi has urged the public to take seriously a 51 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: physical attack on the Northern Territory's Chief Minister, Natasha Files 52 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: was hit in the face with a cream covered pancake 53 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: in Darwin on Sunday. Alberzi said it wasn't lighthearted and 54 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: should carry serious consequences. A woman has been charged with 55 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: aggravated assault in relation to the attack. 56 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: US soccer legend Megan Rapino has finished her international career 57 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 3: with a win. Rapino helps the US to a two 58 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: nill friendly victory over South Africa in Chicago earlier this week. 59 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 3: The thirty eight year olds has won two consecutive World 60 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: Cups and an Olympic gold medal. She announced her retirement 61 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: earlier this year. Police have now launched an investigation into 62 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: sexual assault allegations made against comedian Russell brand This comes 63 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: after brand was accused of rape, sexual assault, and emotional 64 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: abuse by at least four women. Brand denies all allegations 65 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: made against him. 66 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: This has been a huge global story. But for those 67 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: who don't know who is Russell brand I. 68 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: Feel like he's one of those people that I've always 69 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: known about, but I've never actually paid much attention to. 70 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: I feel like he's a character. 71 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he just he's always been there in my mind, 72 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 3: like he was always kind of very present in popular culture, 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: but I never really associated him with one thing or another. 74 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: So he is a comedian and he's an actor, and 75 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: our audience is probably most familiar with him because of 76 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: his role in the two thousand and eight film for 77 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: Getting Sarah Marshall. But beyond that film, he's worked on 78 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: everything from BBC Radio to voicing children's animations. But more recently, 79 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: and I think that this is the very important part 80 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: of this story, Russell Brandt has actually established a huge 81 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: online audience on platforms, especially like YouTube, where he has 82 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: over six and a half million subscribers, and his videos 83 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: are very specific. He talks about certain topics and themes. 84 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: Over and over again. It's not about acting. 85 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: It's not about acting, it's not about comedy. It's you know, 86 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 3: him sitting in front of a camera speaking what can 87 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: only be described as very enthusiastically about everything from health 88 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: fads to what he calls the truth about mainstream media, 89 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: politics and big farmer. So taken a bit of a 90 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 3: u turn from where his career started, and he's now 91 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: really amassed this very loyal following that listened to what 92 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: he says about really big topics. 93 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: I remember he got really popular, kind of another wave 94 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: of popularity in the pandemic where he was one of 95 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: the first and loudest anti VAX's voices. So there's obviously 96 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: a lot to unpack about Russell Brand and about this story. 97 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: But I want to start this discussion more with the 98 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: allegations that have been put to Russell Brand in the 99 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. How did this story first break? 100 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 3: So it was an investigative piece. It was a report, 101 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: a joint report by the UK's Sunday Times, The Times 102 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: and Channel four. So those three outlets work together on 103 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 3: this investigation and they published allegations of sexual misconduct that 104 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: allegedly committed by Brand between two thousand and six and 105 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: twenty thirteen. And if you're wondering why we are only 106 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: hearing about these stories now when the allegations date back, 107 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: you know, nearly two decades ago. The four women involved 108 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: reportedly shared their experiences only for the very first time 109 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: publicly after being asked about these experiences by journalists. 110 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: And what are the women alleging? 111 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 3: So there are four women who had their stories told 112 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: by this investigation, and their names have been changed for 113 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: anonymity's sake. But we'll go through them one by one. 114 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: So one of these women, Alice, was a sixteen year 115 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 3: old high school student when she met Brand, who at 116 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 3: the time was thirty, and Alice alleges that Brand emotionally 117 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: and sexually abused her over a three month period. She 118 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: alleges the Brand, who was a BBC radio presenter at 119 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 3: the time, would send a car to her school and 120 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: then take her to his house. Then there was another 121 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,559 Speaker 3: woman who will call Phoebe, and she says that Brand 122 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: sexually assaulted her while she worked for him at his 123 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: property in La Another woman, Nadia, was allegedly raped by 124 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 3: Brand after she refused to participate in a threesome entered 125 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: to a rape treatment center that same day, and then 126 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 3: another employee on the set of one of Brand's television shows, Rachel, 127 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: alleges that he exposed himself to her. 128 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: So these are the four women who have come forward 129 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: to this joint investigation and detailed their alleged experiences over 130 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: that period. Have we heard from anyone else. 131 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: So those are the stories that we know from that 132 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: initial report. But one of the women featured, Alice, who 133 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: I just spoke about, told BBC Radio that these stories 134 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: are just the tip of the iceberg and that these 135 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: kinds of allegations against Brand have been quote an open 136 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: secret for some time, and that was certainly what a 137 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: lot of the commentary after these allegations came out was, 138 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 3: is that there were a lot of especially women, taking 139 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: to social media saying that this is the industry's worst 140 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: kept secret. Right when this story first broke, the UK 141 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: Metropolitan Police said that they were aware of serious allegations, 142 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 3: but that they hadn't received any reports. So that was 143 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: what two weeks ago now. At the time, they encouraged 144 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: anyone who believed that there had been the victim of 145 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: sexual assault, no matter how long ago it had happened 146 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: to contact police. 147 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: And that's where we're at now right exactly. 148 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: So the news this week is that the Metropolitan Police 149 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: say that they've received a number of allegations what they 150 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: call non recent sexual offenses, but right now no arrests 151 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: have been made. 152 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: So police are now going to investigate these allegations and 153 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: we can't expect that to take some time. But what's 154 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: the fallout been for Russell Brand since that investigation was released? 155 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: So since the release of the report, Brand's previous employers, 156 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 3: including the BBC and Channel four, have said that they'll 157 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: launch their own investigations into him. The BBC said that 158 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: the inquiry will include the claims that we mentioned before 159 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: about Brand using the BBC's car service to pick up 160 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 3: Alice from school. Other than that, we've heard that Brand's 161 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 3: literary agency, Tavistock Would and a domestic violence charity trev 162 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: which he was raising funds, have also cut ties with Brand. 163 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,119 Speaker 3: And then in the social media world, YouTube has suspended 164 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 3: Russell Brand's channels from making money from his videos for 165 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 3: violating what it calls its creator responsibility policy. 166 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: So YouTube and Russell Brand is a really interesting mix 167 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: and there's not that many celebrities that use the video 168 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 2: platform to do these really long pieces to camera where 169 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: they're kind of almost podcasting, but really using the video 170 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 2: medium to their advantage. And that's what we saw from 171 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 2: him after these allegations were put to him. 172 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,119 Speaker 3: Right, it was actually before the allegations were made. 173 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: Project, so he got out ahead of it. 174 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, the first time we heard from Russell Brand on 175 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 3: these allegations was hours before they were made public. And 176 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: this is what we heard from him. 177 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 4: Hello, there you awakening wonders. Now, this isn't the usual 178 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 4: type of video we make on this channel where we critique, 179 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: attack and undermine the news in all its corruption, because 180 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 4: in this story, I am the news. I've received two 181 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 4: extremely disturbing letters, or a letter and an email, one 182 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 4: from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper 183 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 4: listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, as 184 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: well as some pretty stupid stuff like my community festival 185 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 4: should be stopped, that I shouldn't be able to attack 186 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 4: mainstream media narratives on this channel. But amidst this litany 187 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 4: of astonishing, rather barrock attacks are some very serious allegations 188 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 4: that I absolutely refute. 189 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: And I think no one who has observed. The Russell 190 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: brand of today would have been surprised by how he 191 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 3: started to respond to the events that unfolded. It was 192 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: very clear that his kind of strategy or rebuttal to 193 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: this was by blaming it on mainstream media, by blaming 194 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 3: these allegations and suggesting, you know, it was this orchestrated 195 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: attack to bring him down. 196 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 4: Today, of course we're talking about events of the last week, 197 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 4: but in particular the collusion between big tech and government 198 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 4: and an apparent concerted effort by legacy media and now 199 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 4: the state and big tech to silence independent media voices. 200 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: I mean, it's very hard on the Internet to get 201 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 3: someone to stop posting. There are many different avenues, and 202 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 3: just because YouTube has stopped allowing Russell Brandt to make 203 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: money off his content doesn't mean that he has stopped 204 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: making content. He has been pushing people to an alternative 205 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: video sharing platform called Rumble. I think, personally it's a 206 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: really interesting story because I think so often when there 207 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 3: are allegations of sexual misconduct, assault, rape against a celebrity, 208 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 3: which you know we have seen time and time again, 209 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: that that celebrity kind of chooses silence and chooses to 210 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: walk away from the limelight in order to deal with 211 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,359 Speaker 3: those allegations, and what we've seen is quite the opposite. 212 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 3: Russell Brandt has been everywhere, his voice has been everywhere 213 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: he has been promoting himself. He's continued to speak to 214 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 3: his audiences throughout this process, and I imagine and he 215 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 3: will continue to do so no matter how this plays out. 216 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: Another interesting part to this is I actually went on 217 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: to Rumble and looked at his video and the comment 218 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: section underneath it is very different, and it's a very 219 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: different tone to the say mentions of him on Twitter 220 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: or even underneath his YouTube video. 221 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 3: He has loyalists. 222 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, we had people saying don't let the bastards win. 223 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: I only joined Rumble today to support Russell brand and 224 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: I think what he's moved to Rumble shows us is 225 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: that he's still finding ways to communicate with this really 226 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: diehard audience. 227 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 3: He is. But we are only at the beginning of 228 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 3: this story, so we'll have to watch what happens with 229 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: Metropolitan Police and if any charges end up being made. 230 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us on the Daily OS this morning. 231 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: If this story raised anything for you, you can call 232 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 2: one eight hundred respects or Lifeline. On thirteen eleven fourteen. 233 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: We'll be back again tomorrow. Until then, have a great day.
