Russell Brand's YouTube Monetization Suspended Amidst Sexual Assault Allegations

Russell Brand's YouTube Monetization



Russell Brand, the British comedian and former Hollywood actor, faces serious penalties in the aftermath of sexual assault allegations made against him by four women.


As the fallout unfolds, YouTube has suspended monetization on Brand's channel, affecting his ability to make advertising revenue from his videos. The company declared that this action attempts to "protect" its members and community.


The claims, which span a seven-year period between 2006 and 2013, were outlined in a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and TV show Dispatches. Brand has vigorously disputed these charges, noting that his relationships have all been consensual.

YouTube announced its decision to suspend Brand's channel from the YouTube Partner Program, a move that applies to all channels owned and operated by the comedian. Brand boasts over 6.6 million followers on YouTube.


In addition to YouTube's decision, the repercussions from the allegations has resulted in postponed standup tour appearances, the end of agreements with a U.K. book publisher and a literary and talent agency, and the end of a collaboration with a charity assisting women affected by violence.

Brand, who was once known for his left-leaning humour, has recently drifted towards more right-wing beliefs, as seen by the fact that his show is moving to the right-leaning video platform Rumble in 2022.

Brand denied the charges in a video he posted in September, pointing to his history of openness in consensual relationships as evidence that the media was conspiring against him. The Sunday Times and The Times conducted in-depth interviews with multiple witnesses and found evidence to support the allegations.
