This is the best summary I could come up with:

Russell Brand has vehemently denied “very serious criminal allegations” about his personal life, in a video in which he does not specify what the claims are but insists his relationships have always been consensual.

Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist who is awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, which he denies, and who has claimed in the past that he has been attacked by the media, also appeared to defend Brand, tweeting “welcome to the club” to him.

In his video, Brand decried “coordinated media attacks” in the past against figures such as the controversial podcast host Joe Rogan after he announced he was taking the deworming drug ivermectin to treat Covid-19 in 2021.

The host of the Stay Free with Russell Brand podcast has previously appeared to promote “natural immunity” over vaccines.

While he has always been a contrarian, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor has drifted from being a mainstream comedian with leftwing views to something of a figurehead for the online alt-right in recent years.

In July, he shared his platform with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has pushed far-right conspiracy theories and was fired from the channel in April.
