Russell Brand’s X Account Sparks Outrage with Shocking Video Just Days After 10-Year Sentence Revelation
Ever wondered how a man who’s sitting behind bars for rape and sexual assault keeps managing to flex on social media? Well, Russell Brand’s X account is still buzzing—posting videos that scream “political hit job” as if he’s hosting a reality show from his prison cell. Now, here’s the kicker: while Meta’s busy pulling the plug on his Facebook and Instagram, his X presence persists, thanks to some mysterious sidekick wielding the keys to his digital kingdom. Conspiracy theories are swirling, petitions are floating, and far-right commentators have jumped on the bandwagon, all attempting to rewrite the narrative around Brand’s 10-and-a-half-year sentence (with seven to serve inside). But the public? Not buying it. Most folks are reminding us all bluntly why he’s locked up—not for politics, but for being a predatory rapist. This saga isn’t just about a fallen comedian; it’s a twisted collision of power, justice, and the wild, wild web. Ready to dive deeper? LEARN MORE

Even though Russell Brand is behind bars, his X account has shared a video claiming his conviction and sentencing was a ‘political hit job’.
The 51-year-old was convicted of rape and sexual assault earlier this month and sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison, of which he will serve seven behind bars before being released on licence.
His social media accounts with Meta have been taken down, but not his X account which prompted whomever still has access to it to post ‘thank god for Elon Musk‘ and tell the followers to ‘stay tuned’.
Since then it has shared a petition calling for the convicted rapist to be freed and posted a YouTube video from far-right commentator Matt Walsh titled ‘Why Britain Needed Russell Brand Silenced’.
The video promotes conspiracy theories that Brand was only investigated because he ‘betrayed the left’ and was critical of Covid-19 lockdowns around the world.
Many of those responding have taken issue with the sharing of the video and said Brand is in prison ‘because he’s a disgusting predatory rapist’ rather than as part of some plot to bring him down.

Prisoners are not allowed to access social media while behind bars so it is likely the social media activity comes from one of Brand’s associates with access to his page.
The reaction to Brand’s account posting videos pushing the idea that his trial was a ‘political hit’ has been largely negative, with a slew of people pointing out he’s in prison not for some politics based motive but because he raped and sexually assaulted women.
Responses denounced the video as ‘conspiratorial guff’ and weren’t buying what he was selling, though a couple of people posted Bible verses and said they were still supporting the convicted rapist.
Brand had in recent years cultivated an audience among Christian communities, in 2023 he was baptised in the River Thames with Bear Grylls in attendance months after an investigation by The Times, Sunday Times and Channel 4 reported allegations of sexual misconduct.
Grylls has since said that ‘justice has now been served’ following Brand’s conviction.

His apparent conversion didn’t help him during an interview with Piers Morgan back in April, where he claimed a Bible verse meant a lot to him but then couldn’t find the passage.
Meanwhile, some figures on the American political right such as Donald Trump Jr have tried to defend Brand, with the US president’s son claiming ‘no-one had a problem’ with the disgraced comedian until his turn to the right of politics and Christianity.
Trump Jr also claimed that there was a problem with the British judicial system and that Brand had been given a particularly harsh sentence.
At Brand’s sentencing on Monday (9 November), presiding judge, Mr Justice Bennathan, said: “About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous.
“You were clever – and in many people’s eyes, funny and charismatic. You had also become a sexual predator. Your status protected you until 2023 when journalists published allegations.”
