Why Are Governments, News Outlets and Social Media Giants Targeting Russell Brand?

British actor, comedian and podcaster Russell Brand is being targeted by the government and media in his native country with sexual assault and rape allegations from as far back as 17 years ago.

The timing of the allegations against him, as well as an ongoing and coordinated effort to demonize him, have led to numeorus theories — some raised by Brand himself — as to why years-old allegations are suddenly coming to light now.

Brand, 48, has been in the public eye for decades. Once married to pop singer Katy Perry, the celebrity was previously known for being brash, lewd, addicted to drugs and alcohol and for being an outspoken liberal.
