Russell Brand’s take on the 12 steps was the catalyst that led to my son voluntarily going into rehab and being alive today. Yes RB can be a total wanker but he can also be a life-saving inspiration.

His book on addiction is...much as I'm loathed to admit it...absolutely brilliant. That's just another reason it's so tragic he's gone full fruitloopy.

really? I see the Mirror is going with a stock pic that is more comedian/author of children's books. The world of comedy seems pretty screwed in many ways at moment.

It's really funny, insightful, full of crazy stories of excess and he even manages to make the 12 Steps sound less than a nightmare. Tho to be fair, I never finished it (....or the 12 Steps for that matter).

I wrote that before watching the documentary, and had no knowledge of the allegations being made against him.
To be clear:
That RB did good work writing about his experience of rehab and getting clean, in no way negates his abusive and sexually predatory behaviour.
