Yet, several months on, she has been unable to make contact with Brand. Once more she feels betrayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 He was a massive idiot over the whole Sachs thing but I'm not sure responding via the Daily Fail is a great move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yeah, exactly, she don't get a reply in a coupla weeks and she just starts laying into the bastard like you're not a man, you're vaccuous you're etc etc etc, that great compassion and caring that she learned from working with people in recovery soon went for a burton, didn't it? Read the letter, she gives him a proper shaggin' there and no fuckin' mistake. And, y'know, this poor wilting wallflower of a lady whoose poor husband was abused...then the evil BBC broadcast it, putting further emphasis on the whole thing and causing them more turmoil, whaddya think publishing private letters of apology and open responses in The Daily Mail is doing? Silliness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 She sounds like she has a rod well and truly up her arse. It was six years ago and he has apologised twice. Get over it.

DieselDaisy Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 What is the point in writing,if there is anything I have not addressed or that you feel would be helpful for you to express, or anything you would like me to do, then please don’t hesitate to contact me.If he does not answer the family's attempt, to contact him?

Len Cnut Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Well maybe he would've got round to it, point being someone who is having a pop at the BBC and broadcasting the 'abuse' and thereby shining a light on it and extending their turmoil and embarassment, to then go and publish a public essay about it.

Len Cnut Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 ...cliff notes on what's happening here?Russell Brand got in immense trouble for leaving obscene messages on the answering machine of a british actor and some sort of national treasure by the name of Andrew Sachs, he was attacked, vilified and even discussed by the Prime Minister, was a huge thing over here. Basically Sachs was a phone in interview subject who didnt answer so russell was leaving a message when his co-host shouted 'he fucked your granddaughter!' They then rang his answering machine back up a number of times to apologise, albeit in a pisstakey way which culminated in Russell doing a sort of a lounge singer song thing in which he apologises for fucking his granddaughter, Georgina Bailey, who is a member of the burlesque group The Satanic Sluts, for a point of reference.Two words, Howard Stern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 i remember listening to that show live when it happened, and thinking, man, this is going to be bad. i never imagined it would basically get him fired. tbh, i think her overlong response was a bit much - he didn't kill anyone, just made some crass jokes at their expense, over a half decade ago. the fact that she went to the daily mail indicates to me that she was really looking more for tabloid sensationalism -- if she were truly as outraged over it all and personally hurt, she wouldn't flog it off to Britain's biggest trash rag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streak Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Brand was out of order, but it didn't merit the response it got.Has Brand got some book out or something? He seems to be everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
