A controversial message has appeared on Russell Brand’s social media account, attracting attention and strong reactions just days after the former comedian was sentenced to prison.
On November 12, a petition titled “Free Russell Brand” was shared on his X account alongside the hashtag #FreeRussellBrand. The campaign calls for his right to challenge his convictions through legal appeals and demands transparency and fairness in the judicial process.
The petition describes itself as an independent initiative created by supporters, rather than Brand or his legal representatives. It also acknowledges the seriousness of the offences and says witnesses should not be harassed.
However, the post quickly triggered criticism, with many users questioning the campaign.
The controversy comes after Brand, 51, was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison. On November 5, he was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women. He was acquitted of other charges and has denied wrongdoing.
It remains unclear who is managing his X account while he is in prison.
