He's now been demonetized on YouTube and gone into radio silence on his usually bustling channel.
Personally, I'll let the courts decide. Until then, will reserve judgment.
But its shaping up to be a very curious and controversial case.

lot of articles from female comics and actors going back years to what a predator he was, and he was on their informal "list" they shared with one another of who to avoid.
This looks like one of those times when the chickens finally come home to roost.

Russell Brand’s last major television job in the UK ended with him being dropped after he was repeatedly accused of being a “sexual predator” during the recording of the show.
One person familiar with the matter said Brand was “absolutely furious” at being targeted by Ryan. This person said other comedians may have also called out Brand, though this has not been confirmed by those who worked on the show. Two other sources said he demanded that producers protect him from being roasted by his fellow comedians.
