— Whether or not Brand is guilty, it’s absurd how many are pretending they had a problem with him in the old days. When attitudes toward wild sex, bad boys, and male aggressiveness were different 27 years ago, a lot of us thought Brand’s antics were funny. He was awarded “Shagger of the Year” as a joke that most of society was in on. For people to now rewrite his behavior as obviously a problem fails to take into account how attitudes have changed. It’s absurd for Katy Perry to be gloating at her concert. Katy, you never once called your ex-husband an abuser. You had decades to do it. I’m also seeing completely deceptive Twitter posts: people post an interview with an ex where she states that Brand never once abused her and was very kind, and this label gets slapped on the video: “Brand’s Ex Says He Needs To Face His Crimes.” If Russell Brand is truly a rapist in the real sense of the word then he deserves punishment. But a lot of modern standards are also being applied to behavior that most of us celebrated him for decades ago.

😡😡 This is Dr. Erin O’Shea, who fired David Sabatini from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute for dating a former graduate student. Dr. O’Shea is also MARRIED TO HER OWN GRAD STUDENT!!! When will she be fired for this??? Or is it okay cuz she’s a woman with a butch haircut???

— So tired of people not understanding why I’m still covering MeToo cases in 2026. Are some of you really this stupid? As long as we keep seeing lives crushed from false allegations like those against David Sabatini, Justin Baldoni, or a ton of other innocent guys, I’m gonna keep questioning it. I do cover other stuff—a ton of it. But MeToo is still a giant problem in our society, and I don’t see it going away anytime soon…

— My comment goes for some of you on Twitter as well. I post a mild-mannered, open-minded, fairly centrist video on Russell Brand and I get all kinds of angry comments from both sides. This is why I won’t be reading comments anymore. A lot of you are great but a lot of you are also absolute children.

📢📢 So to clear up a misunderstanding that a lot of people have: Knouse was a dual PhD from MIT and MD from Harvard but the PhD part at MIT finished well BEFORE she started the relationship with Sabatini. It’s the MD part at Harvard that was still outstanding. So in no way was Sabatini her prof at MIT when relationship started. This just goes to show you how complex this case is and how people have misunderstood Sabatini’s position in it as nefarious.

🔥🔥🔥 I’m back on YouTube everyone! That’s right—my first video is out, and operations are back on at the Colonel Kurtz Show :). This is just a twenty-minute reaction to the two biggest stories in my world right now: Sabatini vs Knouse + the UK vs Russell Brand. You know I’m the place to go for interesting MeToo takes. I’ll be putting out more extensive videos on each of these cases and more. VIDEO LINK in comments.

🤯🤯 So great to hear that @MIT and @WhiteheadInst are rallying around a legally confirmed hoaxer like Kristin Knouse and the extensive persecution of a wrongly accused brilliant scientist like David Sabatini. @kochinstitute @ragoninstitute @InterSystems @KochFoundations you cool with what you are funding at MIT???

🎯🎯 Thank you to the Daily Mail for covering this…

👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥 On Wednesday, a group of 50 scientists — from 33 institutions, including three at MIT, and nine countries — sent a letter to MIT administrators that said Sabatini’s departure from the university “carried a level of unfairness that did not meet basic standards all institutions should afford their faculty.”
