Summary

Maureen Callahan conducts a total takedown of Russell Brand for the multiple sexual abuse allegations that he continues to deny. She revisits assault claims from the women who have publicly spoken out against him, including details shared during televised interviews, text messages between Brand and some of his accusers, Russell's justification for having sexual relationships with minors, and she highlights his hypocrisy as he hawks his new book on Christian morals. Maureen then dives into the fall of fashion, including the once-powerful Anna Wintour losing her allure, how the Met Gala no longer attracts A-listers, and Wintour's poorly chosen predecessor Chloe Malle, who shows no signs of upholding what Vogue magazine once was. Then, Maureen is joined by Royal biographer Lady Colin Campbell to unpack the deepening divide within the Royal family, including the ongoing tension between Prince Harry and King Charles III, his disconnect with Prince William, plus Harry and Meghan's repeated breaches of Royal protocol that continues to fuel the rift.
