Michael Barrymore wades in after Russell Brand news: ‘This is what they do’

Russell hosts a YouTube channel, which has now reportedly been cancelled, to “critique, attack and undermine the mainstream news in all its corruption”.

On Friday (September 15) he shared a video just before the allegations broke, insisting that all his past relationships were “consensual” and calling the investigations a “coordinated attack”.

This is what they do.

Last night (September 18), Michael Barrymore reshared the video on X along with a tweet that said: “This is what they do…”

Barrymore saw an abrupt end to his career in 2001 after a man was found dead in his swimming pool. He maintains that he had no involvement. And now, 22 years later, he has hinted at a TV comeback.
