There were questions about his misogny after the Andrew Sachs prank call back in 2008. That stuck with me. I do, however, have to push back on him always being a grifter. He's always made a living off being famous - yes. Yet, at one time he was probably the most well known person arguing for boycotting elections and he publicly supported occupy (or whatever it was). I will also never forget the documentary he did taking the piss out of Mark Collett. However incredulous, non-political people I know knew something of radical ideas by shit Brand had pontificated on either in a book or on stage.
Unfortunately, in the end, being a misogynist celebrity bellend won out and the last I watched of him, was a year ago and he pushing some nonsense about Ukraine having bioweapon labs. (Where did that story go?). The last few years or so have seen him become indistinguishable from the Alex Jones crowd.
I hope the people he's fucked up get some closure, yet given his martyr complex, I am sure that won't be easy.
