The fact that he was supporting three charities for women with substance abuse problems now just looks sinister. Let’s hope it doesn’t go all Jimmy Saville.
Also that headline is a mess, has Sky just got AI writing it’s articles?

For some reason it seems interesting that the charities these people involve with relate to their crimes.
It could be because their lawyers figuer it would help their case when they get caught, or there is a scam somewhere.

On the surface it is clearly misdirection or a fig leaf but Saville used his charity work to gain access to vulnerable people.

Weirdly enough, he once joked on air about sending his female assistant, naked, to Savile.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russell Brand has appeared live on stage in London hours after being publicly accused of rape and sexual assault, telling audience members “there were certain things he could not discuss”.
The comedian turned up in a black Mercedes 46 minutes late to the sold-out gig at the Troubadour Wembley Park theatre, which was due to start at 7pm but did not begin until just after 8pm on Saturday.
In a post on Instagram, the Devon-based charity, which said Brand had offered his support last year through his Stay Free Foundation, wrote: "Today’s media revelations have been difficult to process.
According to his website, Brand’s charity also supports Treasures Foundation, which provides accommodation to women with drug addictions in east London, and Friendly House, which runs similar services in Los Angeles.
It comes as a video of Brand from inside his comedy gig on Saturday night showed him walking out on stage smiling and being met with cheers before telling the crowds: “Thank you, thank you, I love you.”
TV star turned radio host, Kirsty Gallacher, who is the older sister of Brand’s wife Laura, also shared the video on her Instagram story with a red love heart.
