On 60 Minutes this weekend, the rapidly unfolding scandal around comedian Russell Brand is set to gain more traction.
The episode, airing Sunday, 24 September at 8.35pm, features reports from Alison Piotrowski and Tara Brown.
Brand’s Reputation in Jeopardy
Once celebrated for his humour, Russell Brand’s reputation has plummeted in a short span. Serious allegations have surfaced, with multiple women claiming that Brand behaved as a sexual predator. While Brand acknowledges his history of promiscuity, he vehemently denies any non-consensual interactions.
Alison Piotrowski, the 9News North American correspondent, presents the chilling narrative of an Australian woman residing in Los Angeles, who has recently added her voice to the chorus of accusers against Brand.
Producer: Garry McNab
Career Reflections with Dawn French
In contrast to the serious allegations against Brand, 60 Minutes also offers a lighthearted segment. Dawn French, acclaimed comedian, actress, and author, chats with Tara Brown about the peculiar predicaments of her prosperous career.
At 65, French grapples with the irony of feeling encumbered by her very success. As she ponders her next move, she openly discusses her imperfections. However, it seems that her ‘flaws’ might just be as entertaining as her strengths.
Producer: Lisa Brown
What a load of faceless garbage …. Get the evidence out. Typical crap by commercial TV. No other side to a bunch of faceless women. Can’t have another Brittany Higgins can we? Russell Brand is VERY outspoken against government. He is being targeted because of it.
When Russell Brand wasn’t financially in a position to pay claims against him, no one spoke up, EVERYONE EXPOSES THEMSELVES IN PUBLIC TOILETS IF THEY WANT TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES. HE IS BRILLIANT AND CLEVER AND DOESN’T DESERVE THESE CLAIMS, HEROIN ADDICTS GO TO SLEEP THEY ARE NOT PREDATORS, EXCEPT TO GET MONEY FOR THERE NEXT FIX. HE WAS A HEROIN ADDICT PREVIOUSLY HEROIN MAKES THEM LIMP.
