Broadcasters engaged in a heated debate during their show on Monday morning as they discussed the allegations.
GB News presenter Beverley Turner defended a tweet supporting Russell Brand in a heated debate with her co-host Andrew Pierce who branded her social media post as “shameful”.
Comedian and actor Brand, 48, has been accused of rape and sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013, when he was at the height of his fame and working for the BBC, Channel 4 and starring in Hollywood films. During Monday’s GB News show, Turner and Pierce discussed the tweet as they spoke about the allegations against Brand that were raised over the weekend in a joint investigation by The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches.On Saturday following the reports, Turner tweeted that Brand was being “attacked” by “establishment media” and encouraged him to keep going with his YouTube channel which often rails against these outlets, hailing him “a hero”.
He asked: “Don’t you think before you say he is a hero you should establish whether these very serious allegations are true?”She replied: “Before I tweeted that, I had spoken to several sources close to Brand, close to The Times… I was confident that there is no smoking gun in this regard.She added: “Of course everybody has the right to not be sexually assaulted.“This happens every single day.”
Pierce countered that he did not feel there was “sympathy” in her tweet for the four women who have raised these allegations adding that he was “shocked” at her statement.Establishment media don't know what to do with the fact that you have 6million subscribers & generate autonomous, knowing and original content.
