“Shame on you” – Andrew Pierce dragged Beverley Turner for supporting her “hero” Russell Brand on live TV.
“This is not about Covid
“This is about serious allegations about a public figure who has been accused by four women.
“And you’re banging on about Covid”
Andrew Pierce takes on Beverley Turner’s “hero” Russell Brand.
Bev Turner stood by her comments during her morning news show on the channel, which descended into a furious row with her co-host Andrew Pierce, who called her comments “X”.
Peirce read out Turner’s tweet, posted in response to the results of a four-year investigation into serious allegations against Brand by four women who have accused the actor and comedian of rape and sexual assault.
Brand, who has denied the allegations and insisted all his relationships have been consensual, was named in a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4.
He was also alleged to have groomed a 16-year-old and ordered a BBC car to pick her up from school and take her to his home.
Reacting to the tweet during their mid-morning show, Pierce said: “A 16-year-old girl has complained about being groomed by this man, two women have said they were raped, and there are more and more cases coming to light.”
Turner argued the allegations had been reported since he set up his YouTube channel which takes aim at the Establishment.
She said “he’s a threat to all these newspapers” and questioned: “Why now?”
Turner added: “Why haven’t they gone to the police now?”
