Carol McGiffin wades into controversy over new Russell Brand interview

Russell Brand has spoken out for the first time since he was hit with a string of sexual abuse allegations last year in a controversial interview.

The comedian has previously denied the accusations on his personal YouTube channel and has now appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show in a 45-minute chat.

Sharing clips on X, Carlson describes the 48-year-old’s conspiracy-laden ‘explanations of the modern world’ as ‘brilliant’.

Quote tweeting the lengthy ramble on politics and the allegations against Brand, radio presenter Carol McGiffin wrote: ‘Tucker’s right, it is brilliant.’
