He has had a number of days to organize his rebuttal and you know what he hasn't done? He has never denied that he has a relationship with a 16-year-old when he was 37. He's also claiming that all his relationships were 'consensual', apparently thinking that a 'consensual relationship' gives him free rein to do what he pleases - because he also has not said that these incidents never happened, just that the relationships were 'consensual'.

So you know what? idgaf what his excuses are, I don't care what he claims. And while I have sympathy for the abuse he's gone through, you work through that on your own, in your twenties - you don't take it out on other people in your late thirties. There's a point where you move from abusee to abuser, and Brand has long since crossed that line.
