**I’m no fan of Russell Brand. Listened once to him. That was it. He’s got his opinion, like we all do. I understand he’s been courting controversy for some time-  I guess we’re all guilty of that some of the time, though it may actually be none of the time**. **However one defines controversy or controversial?**

**All that said something in the coverage of these accusations has certainly piqued my interest**

> **`The women said that they <span style="text-decoration: underline;">only felt ready to tell their stories after being approached by reporters,</span> with some <span style="text-decoration: underline;">citing Brand's newfound prominence as an online wellness influencer</span> as a factor in their decision to speak.`**

**What does that read like to you? My reading as follows?**

**Media is looking to promote sexual titillation in order to sell advertising because sex sells**

**– They reach out to these women? How did they know who they were and where to contact them?**

**And the women, suddenly felt compelled to tell their stories after that contact.?**

> **Brand also suggested that the reports were part of a coordinated attack designed to discredit him because of his views.Citing as well Mr Brand’s newfound prominence?**

**That’s certainly how things appear based on the media coverage regarding how these women’s sudden desire and urgency to tell all**
