My dad got sucked into the Russell Brand woo during the pandemic. Maybe he'll finally come to his senses now this guy is an obvious fraud?

Low chance, more likely he'll think Brand is some kind of martyr. Brand immediately dove into the Andrew Tate angle.

It's simple: if you're a media personality that uses your influence and money to groom and/or sexually harass or assault women, simply tell your audience that the government is trying to silence you, because "you're a dangerous revolutionary too close to the truth" or anything like that really.
