Donald Trump Jr. is another celeb who is coming to Russell Brand’s defense.
Prior to Brand’s sentencing to 10 years and six months in prison by a Southwark Crown Court after being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault and one count of rape, Elon Musk and Megyn Kelly defended the actor. Now Donald Trump’s eldest son is joining in and calling out the U.K.’s political system.
On a recent episode of his ‘Triggered’ podcast, Trump Jr. said, “ He was convicted, by the way, with no forensic evidence, no DNA, no police from the time, now decades old. On allegations dating back to 1999.”
Trump Jr. continued, pointing to a shift in Brand’s views as the reason behind the decade-plus sentence: “So 27 years later, when he was married to Katy Perry, and he was one of the most famous actors in the world, no one seemed to have a problem. No one seemed to think he was a rapist then. But he finds God, I guess, changes his ways, sees some aspects of conservative life, and talks about them. And now he’s going to spend 10 and a half years in prison for rape.”
The President’s son added, “When no one had a problem with it in the prior 27 years. This raises what I think are some pretty obvious questions about why his sentence was more severe than I don’t know sentences handed to Muslim grooming gangs across the U.K.”
Don Jr.’s reference to “Muslim grooming gangs” points back to the same argument Musk used earlier this week. The Tesla CEO re-shared an X post from British politician Andrew Bridgen that compared Brand and Sajid Mahmood Khan (who was convicted of offenses against teenage girls and sentenced to three years in prison). Musk commented, “Unjust,” regarding Brand’s sentence.
But Trump Jr.’s defense of Brand didn’t stop there. He turned the argument around, managing to rope Rosie O’Donnell into it: “Remember when Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland after my father won again in 2024? When she left, she said she would come back when it’s safe for all citizens to have equal rights here in America.”
He went on to say, “And now I guess she thinks it’s safe to come back…Maybe she saw the criminal justice system in the U.K. and said if this could happen in Ireland it’s a problem. Maybe I have to leave.”
He played a clip of O’Donnell rejoicing after the midterms, saying, “It’s a beautiful morning. The Trump regime is over. Thank you America.” In response, Trump Jr. took a break from defending Brand to bash the actress, adding, “The Trump regime is over? Rosie, it was a midterm. My father’s the president for two years. Maybe don’t book that return trip just yet.”
