I heard someone say addicts aren’t addicts because they need something but because they’re missing something else. No idea to what extent that’s true and I’m sure it’s too generic to explain everything but it does raise an interesting point. You see plenty of retired footballers fall into various addictions, trying to replicate the thrill of professional football in front of a big crowd. I remember Merse on Soccer Saturday saying, “there’s no feeling in the world like scoring a goal, and I’ve tried everything.”

Mick Hucknall was famously a ‘sex addict’. He claimed he was that way because he was trying to fill the void left by a lack of love from his mother, which is kind of a sad and messed up way for a guy to feel.

This is very interesting, and something that I can personally relate to.

When I was 6 years old, my dad who worked in shipping went off go sea one day and never came home. Took my mum 7 years to find out he had decided he couldn't cope with family life and had fucked off to live in Spain. I didn't see him face to face again until I was 24.

As a teenager in the 90s, I got massively into the rave scene. I liked nothing more at weekends than to go out to a club (the Rhino was a favourite haunt) and get off my face on speed, pills, acid... whatever. It was my way of escaping my 'normal' life for a few hours. I didn't realise it at the time, of course, but looking back now it's pretty obvious I did that to fill the void left by my absent dad. I spent years and years trying to find ways to replicate the highs I experienced during those times, until finally realising I was never going to achieve that and that I had to find other things in my life to derive joy from.

I've never scored a goal in front of 40,000 fans, obviously, but I can totally relate to Merse on this. If you have an addictive personality then trying to find ways to satisfy that craving can become all pervasive in your mind and seriously impact on your day to day life if you don't have the ability to control it.

As much as I dislike Russell Brand, if he had/has a genuine sex addiction then I do have a small degree of sympathy because it would have a big detrimental effect on his ability to make rational choices. It's just a shame that his particular addiction has direct consequences on other people who then become victims of his mental health problems. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in terms of criminal cases etc...

EDIT: It's now November 2026 and he's just been found guilty on multiple counts.

No sympathy whatsoever. Fuck him.

Great but sad story, I credit you for voicing ths andhopefully you are over it now.

As for Brand, he may be an addict but the general public put him into a position where he could take advantage ofhis 'addiction'. My god our society laps up people like him and they are then put into positions where their weirdness is used in a negative terrible way. Im sure I wasnt the only who knew he was a wrongun and even as a kid knew that Savill was as well. We just seem to need this type of person coming on the TV set everyday.

I read an interesting article about this case this morning. Narcissists have a very large but fragile ego and use it as a support system. They need to feel special and superior and cannot handle rejection as it plays into their deep seated feelings of inadequacy. Brand is a self confessed narcissist. He says that all of his sexual contacts have been consensual. They cannot handle rejection which means that they might not be able to take “no” as an answer, or maybe the “no” just doesn’t compute. That is not to say that every narcissist is a rapist or that Brand is guilty but then neither does the fact that he lived up to a rock star image and,no doubt, had many women throwing themselves at him, mean that he still didn’t take “no” as an answer from some of them.

Not seen anything of him for a while, but he seems to be playing the good God fearing Christian card according to the clips they played on the news last night. Strange bloke.

I can only think that post is an intentional self parody. Otherwise it shows a staggering lack of self awareness.

Another celeb going down. Remember seeing the text messages of him to a victim on that tv expose so clearly guilty as sin.

couldn't find the previous thread as sure he’s been discussed before

It seems the version of Britain they want to restore is the dark ages when entitled men were free to spread their seed however they saw fit.

I can't open it without an X account, but I hope he's getting duly roasted in the comments.

I wish I was Russell Brand, he gets to sh*g all the women.

This aged well.

[Sheaf Saint]

I'm sure they had a very clean and wholesome night with no inappropriate behaviour whatsoever.

[skintsaint]

The most shocking thing I heard about this was Russell Brand was labelled a comedian...

[Turkish]

Apparently he pretended he was gay at times so he could get women back to his room. 

One thing i never get about these things is why does it always take years to come out? He was obviously at it for a long time yet it's only now people are coming out saying what stuff went on. Vanessa Feltz on This Morning saying about how she knew he was a wrong un and said to her on TV that he wanted to shag her an her daughters on his show, cheered on by the audience. They showed the clip and she obviously didnt like the comment but it was obvious people knew what he was up too.

That’s disgusting…….Vanessa Feltz, the man would clearly shag anything.

[Winnersaint]

Who'd have thought the 29 yearold who got BBC chauffeurs to pick his 16 year old girlfriend up from school was a wrong-un? He's having the booky-wooky thrown at him!

This is the worry with how many conspiracy cunts we are breeding. From Catherine Ryan:
"Because he's obviously spent a long time cultivating this idea that the establishment have invented these claims against him, and he's martyred himself to a growing audience who really still think that it is the courageous survivors who are the villains in this story."
