In a recent turn of events, comedian Russell Brand has found himself at the center of multiple allegations made by women, including claims of abusive and predatory behavior, rape, s**ual assault, and emotional abuse, dating back to 2006 and lasting until 2013.
Brand vehemently denies these allegations, asserting that all of his relationships have been consensual.
However, amidst these accusations, an old clip from ITV’s Loose Women in 2018 has resurfaced, in which Brand boasts about a brief encounter he had with Meghan Markle, the future Duchess of Sussex, just a week before her wedding to Prince Harry.
The two had crossed paths on the set of the 2010 film Get Him to the Greek, where Brand portrayed a drug-addled, s**ually promiscuous rockstar.
During his appearance on Loose Women, Brand proudly shared, “She was in a film that I was in, Get Him to the Greek.
It was a good film.
Meghan Markle didn’t know at the time because she wasn’t married to a royal person.
I don’t remember the film that much.
I think I planted one on her in a scene.
It was scripted in the scene.
I only know this because I think I saw a clip of it somewhere.
Meghan Markle, there we go.
They should bring that up at the wedding if anyone has any reason.
Yeah, yeah, Russell Brand snogged her in a film.”
While some have claimed that a clip from the movie captures the moment in question, doubts have emerged regarding whether it truly depicts Brand kissing Meghan.
Brand himself admitted to seeing a clip of the alleged incident online, but it seems that if the scene did occur, it did not make the final cut of the film.
As news of these allegations against Brand spread, the question of whether he slept with Meghan Markle has become a breakout search term, with a 400% increase in searches according to Google Trends data.
People are delving into Brand’s past, seeking answers and clarity amidst the s**ual abuse allegations.
Variations of the question, such as “Has Russell Brand slept with Meghan Markle?”
and “Did Meghan Markle and Russell Brand hook up?”
have also gained traction.
It is understandable that suspicions arose regarding Meghan’s involvement with Brand, especially considering rumors suggesting she slept with Jason Sudeikis to secure a role in Horrible Bosses.
Some believe that Meghan strategically resurfaced the clip of Brand boasting about kissing her to serve her own purposes.
In the film Get Him to the Greek, Meghan had a brief 40-second role as Tatiana, a girl in a strapless metallic dress who shares a kiss with Russell Brand’s character at a party.
Critics of Meghan argue that she may have utilized this old clip to her advantage.
Furthermore, the lack of job titles for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has sparked an existential crisis, according to royal commentator Daniela Elsa.
She refers to a conversation surrounding Meghan’s appearance at the Invictus Games with Prince Harry, where their job titles were noticeably absent from the guest list.
This omission has led to ridicule and speculation about the couple’s purpose and identity.
Elsa suggests that the Invictus Games serves as a moment when all other drama fades away, allowing Harry and Meghan to take their place on the world stage.
However, as the dust settles, the court of public opinion will soon decide whether this marks the beginning of a new positive era for the Sussexes.
In conclusion, while Russell Brand’s claim of kissing Meghan Markle before her marriage to Prince Harry has stirred controversy, it remains uncertain whether the alleged incident actually took place.
