Trying to silence him about what? I hope this doesn't work a la Depp. I'm hoping the lack of significant nostalgia characters won't bring in a flood of oppa didn't do it fans

It’ll work for his current QAnon audience but I think the average person finds him too annoying.

I feel like I'm so jaded these days, I know people love Depp's old stuff but I knew a lot of people who were over him and then all of a sudden thought he was a divine gift when the trial was on. I don't think I know anyone who actually follows Brand but I'm at the point where I wouldn't be surprised just disappointed

I think sadly it depends on who the perceived victim is. Amber didn't have a fan base so it was all too easy for people to smear her.

Even though Katy Perry isn't involved in this I see way too many people dragging her name up and saying they hated him since he dumped her via text message. So they already see him as the villain because of how he treated their favourite popstar so it's easy to dismiss him.

Right. If the victims are allowed to stay somewhat anonymous, all the focus stays on him.

Idk what his rep is like in the UK, but even though he’s recognizable here I don’t think care that much about him although I’m sure he’s gotten a decent amount of Q type fans.

I generally just feel like based on the swift repercussions once this became public that he was never a very well liked person in the industry but maybe that’s just hopeful on my part lol.

no one liked him enough in the first place tbh
