00:00This is an outrage. This is an obvious double standard.
00:05Firebrand Megyn Kelly is coming in with another hot take,
00:09vehemently defending convicted rapist Russell Brand. On her SiriusXM show,
00:14she claimed the comedian was unfairly targeted by the UK justice system
00:18after he was just handed a 10 and a half year prison sentence.
00:21He grabbed a boob, he kissed a lady, he sniffed a lady,
00:30and he had backdoor sex with a woman who licked his backdoor before she was even introduced to him.
00:38The conservative podcast host went on to accuse the judge in Brand's case,
00:42Joel Benethan, of showing bias against the comedian, claiming he clearly didn't like
00:46Russell and alleging the ruling was part of a political witch hunt.
00:49This is a country that let how many, how many of these
00:56immigrants who would come into their country rape young white girls with impunity
01:00for years? They did nothing.
01:04She also took aim at the UK's handling of sexual assault cases involving immigrants,
01:09arguing that Brand was being treated unfairly compared to other alleged offenders.
01:14Kelly's comments come years after she spoke out publicly about her own experience with alleged
01:18sexual misconduct, accusing former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes of making obviously inappropriate,
01:25sexually charged comments, and repeatedly trying to grab her and kiss her on the lips.
01:30Ailes, who has since passed, denied the allegations at the time and resigned following an internal investigation.
01:36Fox News also paid settlements to multiple women who accused him of sexual harassment.
01:40Meanwhile, Brand is currently being held at HMP Wandsworth in London, where he's expected to remain for the next few
01:46weeks,
01:47before being transferred to another facility based on security, safety, and rehabilitation needs.
01:53Since the disgraced actor's sentencing, comments from his ex-wife Katy Perry have resurfaced,
01:58with a pop star calling their dynamic,
02:00really hurtful, and very controlling.
02:02And the family of his current wife, Laura Gallacher,
02:05reportedly fear she has been totally brainwashed,
02:07and are desperate for her to leave him and move on with someone else.
