Russell Brand announces plans to be ‘baptised’ following sexual assault allegations…
 

Russell Brand has announced that he is going to be baptised as an “opportunity to leave the past behind”, less than a year after a Channel 4Dispatches documentary exposed allegations of sexual assault against the comedian.

In an Instagram video recorded in his garden on Friday (26 April), Brand, 48, told his followers: “This Sunday, I’m taking the plunge. I’m getting baptised.

“What’s been explained to me is, it’s an opportunity to die and be reborn. An opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ’s name.

He then referenced a verse from scripture, adding: “Like it says in Galatians: that you can live as an enlightened and awakened person”.

Brand added that the prospect of baptism was “so inviting and beautiful”.

“People are cynical about the increasing interest in Christianity and the return to God, but to me, it’s obvious.

“As meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that we’ve all known all of our lives, within us and around us.

“And for me it’s very exciting.”


He said at the time he hadn’t decided on a location – but was considering London’s River Thames.

“One of my concerns is that I’m thinking about doing it in the Thames,” he said. “So I could be getting baptised in toxoplasmosis and E. coli, based on what I’ve learnt.

“I may be leaving behind my sins but I might be picking up some serious viruses,” he said.

In September, a Channel 4 Dispatches and Sunday Times investigation revealed accusations by four women of rape, sexual assault and abuse at the height of Brand’s fame between 2006 and 2013.

Someone might want to tell him that it's metaphorical and doesn't stand up in court :joker:.

"Yerr I did all those fings yer honour but I've been baptised now so I've got a fresh slate innit!"

Colossians 3:5-6 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)

Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil
desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is
coming.

"I’m taking the plunge. I’m getting baptised."

Has he always been religious ?

I had him down as the complete opposite for some reason

IIRC he back in the day described himself as spiritual/believing in a higher power or god but not part of any organised religion, and lately as Buddhist, but he'll be wanting the backup of his predominantly-Christian alt right conspiracy theory/Trump-truther/Flat-Earther fanbase now so I guess he has to find Jesus. Lol.

To the shock of nobody at all

He has changed his Grey Hair
Ammi................

…yes Arista, he has the greatest love and admiration for RFK …his grey hair was part of ‘the past he left behind…’…?….Praise Be the Lord…

being baptised never helped me with my hair :oh:

….mind you, maybe his hair is just turning as black as his soul whereas your greyness is reflecting your goodness, did you ever think of that…?…maybe his hair is the Lord’s sign of saying…not in my watch, baby…

What a fkn tit.

He's an embarrassement.
