A resurfaced clip of Russell Brand talking to his dad about their joint experience with prostitutes left online users disgusted at the disgraced TV personality
A resurfaced clip of Russell Brand discussing a sordid trip to to Asia with his dad has left online users in disgust.
The footage was shared on social media after the disgraced TV personality was sentenced to nine years in prison for rape, with additional terms of 18 months, nine months and eight months for the three counts of sexual assault.
Outside of the court, Brand’s dad Ron, who was a photographer, insisted his son was the victim shortly after the sentencing. He said girls had “harassed” his son.
In the online video, Brand, now 51, explained how his relationship with his dad improved as he grew older. He quickly moved on to share a story of a trip to Hong Kong and Thailand around the time he turned 17 and arranged for sex workers to visit their hotel.

As Brand spoke in 2002, he explained how on their first night on the holiday he was in mesmerised by “all those women in swimsuits,” with Ron joking: “I wish I had my flippers.”
An excited Brand went on to describe how some of the women began touching his private parts, while Ron looked on laughing. He went on to explain taking women back to his hotel room with his dad.
The two appeared proud of their actions together as Brand continued to explain their sexual activities on the trip while Ron smiled and laughed.
Brand described their room as being full off half-filled champagne glasses and “signs of their [women] presence everywhere”. He said: “I remember you reading the paper saying ‘did you wear a condom with that bird last night?’ and me saying ‘oh, no, I never.'”
Ron laughed as he watched on as Brand acted out the scene of his dad saying: “You should have.”
The clip had users calling out the pair’s actions, calling it “odd”. One said: “Even as an adult, I couldn’t watch a movie with nudity with my father. I can’t comprehend what it would be like to go to a strip club with my father as a kid, much less to a brothel. WTF?”
Brand had previously wrote in his two autobiographies, published in 2007 and 2010, about his struggles with alcohol, drugs and sex addiction, as well as his “tumultuous” childhood and “strange” relationship with his father.
Following his sentencing on Monday, disgraced entertainer Brand was told he will be on the sex offenders register for life and must serve at least seven years of his sentence behind bars before his is able to be considered for release on license.
Judge Mr Justice Joel Bennathan sentenced Brand for the rape of a fan and sex assaults on three women, including a woman in a Soho bar, as well as a radio worker and a Channel 4 staffer, who were both abused by him while at work.
