December 20, 2025Dec 20 It always felt that it would be a matter of when not if given the rumours that have been around for years. I can only guess that like Russell Brand before him (not that I’m comparing the allegations between the two), he is no longer considered profitable for those who make money from him and the allegations can finally flood out.
