I thought he was funny when he first got to the US and he was hilarious in Finding Sarah Marshall. I suspect he was just playing himself all along. But then he went off the rails, you could see he was full of himself and trying to pass that off as being enlightened and humble.

What a abhorrent human being.
1 report of rape. Multiple reports of attempted rape (one directly told to Dispatches, one from an autobiography). The evidence verified by Dispatches by the rape victim is... very persuasive. Helps make everything else that much more convincing.
Paedophile for having a relationship with a 16 year old in his mid thirties (legally, not the case - but in every way other than the letter of the law, a paedophile).
The behaviour at Channel 4 is abhorrent. Lying to and manipulating women is not illegal, but christ it is abhorrent.
Music artists do this to some extent as well, picking out women in the crowd to have sex with. It'll be interesting to see how cultural norms change in that regard.
Some technical intrigue: very interesting to see that Dispatches, a Channel 4 programme, is submitting Freedom of Information requests, to Channel 4. Good to see the editorial divide, much like the Beeb.
They're doing a decent job at being critical of Channel 4 post 2014.
For everything he says about the mainstream media... they sure did a great job covering up his ass for the last 20 years.
They really edited the last part quickly, Russell's YouTube video was only uploaded a day ago.
It's always the person you suspect the most.
