Emily Maitlis new cure for addiction...JUST STOP... Why didn't anyone think of that before?
Women feel entitled to talk about anything now bc they are self empowered women so they can just make up some stuff about addiction. They get it without learning about it bc they are a woman. She has female intuition so she doesn’t have to learn anything actually; she just needs to stay close to white knighted enabling beta males like this guy who nod agreeingly
Yes that was laughable
Well said comment! I laughed out loud. And is it necessary to concern ourselves with the use of the word ‘wellness’. It’s a trendy nonsense word, yes, but not worth dissecting.
Mattiss is that all you have to say ,get a life woman
Why don't you just stop the drugs 😂😂
Wow, the ignorance and wrongness in every word she speaks about addiction, yet she speaks them so confidently. That’s true arrogance…
If she wanted to criticise RB, she should have done so without belittling and spreading misinformation about addiction (on which she seems to know Nothing about). Now any justified criticism she might have had, will be questioned. Cause if she can be this wrong about a subject which is as heavily backed up by experts, scientific data, by information in general(!), as addiction, it’ll be hard to find her credible when talking about anything else…
No, Emily, he was doing youtube for 15 years. He didn't just start doing wellness 4-5 years ago, he's been doing it for 12+ years way before Metoo movement started.
I'm glad someone pointed that out!
Ikr entire video is so counter to her normal offerings
From the allegations it looks like he did way before MeToo started. That seems to be the problem.
Not really.. scroll back through his UA-cam and get back to us...
I've been watching him for 14 years, I know his content thanks. @@hanselmansell7555
100 times a day? Emily, I’ve told you a million times, journalists shouldn’t exaggerate.
Ikr I had so much respect for Emily that has now vanished.
it's obvious hyperbole in a live recorded interview. it's just a rhetorical device that everyone understands that she probably wouldn't use in a more journalistic piece.
I think Russell said 3 different women per day over the course of several years.
Emily, you're plain wrong about addiction. It is something people are powerless over. I was an addictions counsellor for several years and I would strongly suggest you do some research on the subject if you're going to pronounce a view on a public forum.
You are obviously an AA guy.
She is correct about addiction.
She’s not interested in being accurate, she’s interested in gathering views and leveraging other people’s misery for her own personal gain. That’s how the media rolls.
She's wrong about most things.
If people were powerless over addiction they'd never recover.
She got no idea what she’s talking about when it comes to addiction 🙄
@riseandshine. I picked up on that one too.
True but addiction is no excuse.
@@hanselmansell7555excuse for what? You understand what the word means?
Maitlis is biased through and through and therefore is a terrible journalist. She typified the BBC mindset that they know better and should tell the public what they should think. There is a huge irony that she thinks others are narcissists, complete lack of self awareness.
Imagine if they became conscious of the plain bbc mandate, stopped mission creeping, and reported events (though they know nothing about those events)
hey, could you recommend some truly unbiased journalists and give some examples of Maitlis being biased and a narcissist to back up your assertions? Appreciated.
This clip was horrendously qnd she probably would watch it and still not see how bad she is 😅
@@jeromesimsdid you not watch the clip your commenting on 😂
Emily M seriously just suggested that Brand's activity over the last few years was to prepare for this day. That is one almighty conspiracy theory!
Not really, sees Me Too.. thinks oh f*** becomes a wellness guru battling Trumps 'fake news media' and then check it out, it's working! He's a clever guy, just a shame he couldn't leave himself alone..
Exactly. The hypocrisy also the reach. They talk as if he is already guilty which just goes to show you. Everyone is a conspiracy theorist when it suits their narrative .
Has worked wonders for con men throughout history.
Yeah, it's hilarious. On BBC Radio 2 news the other day the lady said something like (exaggeration added by me):
"Brand peddles conspiracy theories on UA-cam, it wouldn't surprise me if he has been cultivating a cult following of mentalist maga tinfoil Qanon types over the years just to garner support for himself in this exact scenario which he has been waiting on for years".
Helluva conspiracy theory methinks!!!
I actually think it’s very plausible. And personally, I absolutely believe that it’s true.
As soon as #MeToo happened he must surely have thought these stories about him would come out sooner or later.
#MeToo happened in 2017. He performed his radical shift to the right not long after.
She calls Brand a conspiracist and ends with a conspirscy theory of her own!
Glad someone spotted it!
Pointless video
A conspiracy requires more than 1 person to qualify as a conspiracy. She’s offering a theory on his recent behaviour, and might not be far off the mark. Time will tell
@@damofxit is baseless conjecture coming from a 3rd rate journalist
The irony is simply amazing. And they don't see it. It's really like a comedy sketch.
I can't believe what I just watched! This is embarrassing 'journalism' 🙄
That's because it's commentary, opinion. There actually is still a difference but it's understandable that novices get confused these days. Journalism and commentary are different. Journalists can have opinions but it doesn't mean their opinions are journalism. Journalism refers to the act of ascertaining and chronicling events, people etc. Opinion and commentary is the act of expressing one's personal take on events, people etc See?
I find her ideas on addiction to be somewhat uninformed.
Entirely uninformed!
Totally agree, shocked me.
And grooming and wellness, in fact pretty much everything she’s articulated in this video is astonishingly inept, biased and flawed.
Interesting admission from the off by Maitliss. She "went to the interview ready to loathe him."
Just the kind of unbiased, open-minded "journalism" we've come to expect from these peddlers of "misinformation".
EXACTLY!! Well said and just what i thought. Shes typical of the left and the BBC in that the default position is ready to loath. Ive given up on the BBC and save myself £160 a year.
Remember she was working for impartial bbc too
@@benbeasant3443 Exactly my point. Although, at this point, I don't think it matters who they work for. If they're in the media they're biased to one side or the other.
There's only about 6 actual journalists. left
Is she saying she got laid by him too?
Does Maitliss also push a conspiracy that Brand knew these allegations were forthcoming so that he decided to rebrand himself as an anti-vax conspiracy theorist to curry favour with his new audience once the allegations hit the legacy media?
Does she have any evidence to make such a suggestion?
This lady is the reason why I cancelled my TV Licence
How dare you discredit addiction as a simple choice... that's sick!
You arent a addict untill you chose to shoot up the first time ....
Unless you were kidnapped and forced to take drugs
You are responsible for you own actions.
@@Bidenmytime what a vague statement when you think of all the conditions, influences and variables that can lead to making the initial error...and I agree making a poor choice is included in that. It doesn't change the fact that you are now addicted and no longer able to make the choice to stop. Think before you make such ridiculous comments please.
No. Worse.. she says that because you have choice it’s not addiction. Whereas it can be s choice and still be addiction.
2 mins of my life I've been conned out of 😂😂
You've got to admire her unbiased and totally professional attitude to her work....😂
She calls Russell a narcissist!
The media are in such a bubble they really have no awareness of what real people think
I always found his language and manner of speech to be pseudo-intellectual word salad? Perhaps not all the time, but he was definitely going way over the top with that at times.
Yep. Very grandiose
And that makes him guilty of what crime?
It's gibberish. He uses words he doesn't understand, and this fool finds his language 'magnetic'.
@@nickheather3624You want to highlight some of his sentences that don’t make sense for us ?
@@1574john Just listen to his recent preemptive denial, in which he 'refutes' these 'rather baroque' allegations. Does that seem a correct use of language to you?
Emily Maitless is a former bbc journalist, which is bad enough. But she’s just described RB as a groomer. The police haven’t been informed yet and she passing judgement. Like I said, she’s a bbc journalist . Enough said.
What a disappointing ending after such a promising start, only one so far on this channel however. Innocent until proven guilty and look at the channel 4’s admission today for instance or indeed the dubious text graphic “verified by Murdoch“, the timing or the countless other things that just don’t make sense. There is something about this just stinks and I am a SA survivor and don’t even like Russell Brand but I will defend Innocence until proven guilty.
That’s what they used as authentication on the text messages?
They didn’t use a digital forensics expert?
@@soulfireonfire6423 not at all. Authenticated by the publication itself no less. No forensics, no forensic data cellular extraction to review the text messages from the phone in their native format, nothing. The doctored text message or ‘verified graphic’ is highly suspicious, also given that, if the evidence was so strong they would not even need to do that and conflate different texts. this is a huge part of the problem you would never have that in a court I would never trust anything verified by Murdoch.
Idk if he's guilty of not but having watched Brand on and of for years I can say he's been into wellness for years that certainly isn't new and to say it is is intentional or unintentional misinformation. ( aka a lie ). That's not to say anything about the allegations but he's been into wellness and alternative ideas for a very long time.
She's trying to go after him been in alternitive media as she calls it, this is what their really trying to take apart!
Brand is sober and married now so why didn’t they say something when he was making those vile calls on radio?
@@SH-iy7ju because the media hadn’t reached out to pay them at that point.
I’m not a addict nor luckily have addictions in my family but I do think that it takes a lot more than a decision and willpower to overcome it. So many people’s lives have been destroyed by addictions. Emily, I suggest it’s a new focus for your research.
I have not been a conspiracy theorist - until now. This is a way to coordinated attack on a single person because he has views this government and media ( same class ) do not like. He may not be a nice person in some eyes for his behaviour but this is nothing to do with his behaviour - but his views
"He may not be a nice person in some eyes for his behaviour" - !
I am sure RB was into his spirituality and wellness long before 2012. The truth as we know is he was a drug addict. RB is well read in his religions and may have used spirituality to help cope with his addictions. If you go far back as Big Brother, Big Mouth, he would make reference to spirituality stuff. Especially when discussing things that were happening in the house.
Don;t quite know how one can be spiritual and treat women quite so disposably
Can't stand the guy but yet another instance where innocent until proven guilty seems to be pushed aside in the media.
He's guilty of going after a 16 year old when he was 30, that's sick enough for me even without any of the other stuff.
I don't need the media (or a court verdict for that matter) to tell me he's a wrong 'un. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see it. There's been enough examples.
@@jimclark7348So all his victims had half a brain then as they should have seen him being a wrong ‘un. But all means call him out for a creep and have nothing to do with him and let the courts decide if he broke the law but leave out that train of thought because it levels blame at the feet of the victim
@@lilscottiemewell children can be naïve
yea maybe innocent in the states eyes at the minute but members of the public are free to view him as guilty if we want
So basically shes saying she was attracted to him😂
😊
How inconvenient for her 😂
Really disappointed that Matliss wanted to hate some one before shes met them
She is human and like everybody has her own issues, everybody has choices to make.
Counter every opinion you have on any celebrity or famous person comes from the same place. Our opinions of people we haven't met are based on information we receive either directly or indirectly about them. She was open-minded enough to alter that opinion rather quickly after meeting him.
Disappointed? They all have agendas these days.

Oh you like everyone you've never met?
The irony of her thinking of the wildest conspiracy of all time as she is calling out Brand for talking about conspiracies😂😂😂😂😂
or are you successfully groomed to think that
What conspiracy is she thinking exactly?
@@stephenpiper5604that brand spent years reinventing himself because he had pre knowledge of the investigation. That's a pretty clear conspiracy
@@tomjwjss perhaps you should look up the meaning of the word 'conspiracy'. Who exactly is Brand meant to have conspired with?
@@stephenpiper5604 mate conspiracy in this day and age has lost its original meaning, her fabrication of russel having this sinister ulterior motive for his self wellness youtube channel is a conspiracy in the sense that there is absolutely 0 proof too her outrageous claim.
After listening to this and never hearing of her before or not knowing anything about her, i can surely say im ready to loathe her for the rest of my life
What!? I mean maybe he's guilty. But some of this is such nonsense.
Only some?
What has gone mental in this country. Just because you can use fancy language does not mean your point has merit. The aristocracy and elite (I say that in a crude way) just feel they have impunity against everything because they are able to exercise language better than an average joe. There used to be a saying “justice is blind” but that does not apply any more. If you can lie with posh words and do crimes wrapped in posh language then you will be fine but if you speak like you are from midlands you will be treated lot more harshly. It’s sad how the society (media) sort of applies less of a severe scrutiny to these sort of people.
Another person who used to use fancy language took this country down the brexit path… that blond dude….
What? 😵💫
You’ve literally described Russel Brands whole schtick 😂 nicely put
so she found him mesmerising who cares did he do any thing to her let the police do their job dont think what she said means much at all
Almost sounds like she’s bitter he didn’t hit on her!
@@soulfireonfire6423 😂 ikr
As a Russell Brand supporter, he never forced me to believe anything I didn't believe before discovering him.
He was the voice of TRUTH, something everyone in this world needs to go towards.
And just because the mainstream media hates HIS narrative doesn't mean
he is brainwashing us, we support him for being brave enough to talk.
So please, STOP acting like he/we are in the wrong.
@Dont_Be_Ridiculous Maybe.
Yes Emily showing us who she truly is!
And what's that?
@@hanselmansell7555 someone u clearly like given your surname 👁👁 noticing
Considering all the pharmaco's want to get him like julian assange, the reinvention is mostly from people like her.
I thought that he was speaking against establishment corruption ever since anyone ever asked him about his political views.
vile and stuck up to start with no?@@hanselmansell7555
This disappointed me. I always thought Maitliss was extremely bright. This showed me I had misjudged her.
⚠️She just slayed a hapless prince, who was there for the taking, and now she's been crowned
👑QUEEN Emily! Journalism royalty!
Oh great one! Thrill us with your "astute acumen"!
"We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality."
-Thomas Babington Macaulay 1830
I love history, "Thomas Babington Macaulay saw India as a culturally and intellectually inferior society that was in need of modernization and westernization" - Which meant he wanted westerners burning books containing "inferior" literature so Indians knew what was "right". This was the original cancel culture, funny example to bring up here.
Only seeing things from her own angle, dismissing everyone else, thinks she’s perfect, flawless, entitled, traits of a Narcissist.
Emily -stay in your lane. You’re not an expert in addiction.
Compulsive behaviour is much more complex than simply turning it on and off.
You know what happens when people are obsessive. Despite all reason, they continue with the behaviour. Maybe your personal experiences cloud your usually stellar impartiality.
The irony ending with her own conspiracy 😂
So "wellness" rings alarm bells for Maitlis. So I guess the NHS wellbeing and Mindfulness policies (especially within mental healthcare) will be ringing alarm bells for Maitlis. 🤣 And just a little bit of advice for Maitlis: people addicted to drugs do still have a choice. It just happens to be a difficult one. Indeed, drugs which your own body produce are just as addictive as manufactured drugs.
That is a very thought-provoking understanding of Brand's move into wellness. It's a bit like what an American Secretary of Defense called Anticipatory Retaliation.
Emily looked mesmerised during that interview. Lol
Funny how it’s acceptable to create a conspiracy theory about an apparent conspiracy theorist.
Poor Russell gets a dose of his own medicine...

You hypocrite, funny how you stood up for schofield though? You also loved Russell when he was spewing your BS narrative.
What a punch in the gut to every addict
So messed up lost all respect for her after this.
The “have you tried stopping argument” 🙄 she's on my resentment inventory
STOP DELETING COMMENTS YOU DON'T LIKE
I reckon he's bumped his gums about addiction because he knew
All makes sense actually
Russel is being targeted for the man he is now not the man he was then.
shocking how you can't turn your life around and be absolve for the crimes of your past, isn't it?
He's the same person, then & now. Other than the self serving ‘principles’, Brand is & has always been a huge Fake, & has only been true to brand Brand. - Motivated only by self gratification & self aggrandising. Self. At a serious cost to others.
He charmed the knickers off you then?. 😂😂😂
What an impartial journalist. Sounds like Russells been more of a journalist than she has.
This.
Russell Brand has devoted a proportion of his life to well being and yoga. So has Ryan Giggs. Both incredible individuals 👍🏽
And the thing they both have in common is they haven't been convicted of anything.
Funny how Charlotte Sachs seems to think he is a very genuine and apologetic person who paid for her to go to rehab years later.
Wow, Emily thinks that Brand plays 5D chess and was grooming his audiences for something he knew nothing about, something that did not happen until some reporters approached some women(unusual to take this tactic)
She is really cold-hearted here. That isn’t her true character. She prefers to be loving and understanding.
This woman's views on addiction are archaic. People really should be required to pass some kind of exam before being allowed to talk to the mainstream public. As an addict, you Emily are a big part of the problem.
The investigation into Russell didnt really get going until 'a year ago', according to Sunday Times chief editor, Ben Taylor.
Zero understanding of addiction! Wellness should ring alarm bells ????!!!!!!! Is she well ???? 😂😂😂
That’s some leap, Emily
"Wellness should ring alarm bells"?? Are you listening to yourself? Health is the most important thing and drug companies don't care about health when they prefer to patent the solution that doesn't work 100%, just to make money.

Used to be a case of innocent until (or unless) proved guilty. Emily mattis seems to have already presumed guilt as do most people in accusations such as these
Let’s face it, this unsavoury woman has made a lucrative career out of maligning and castigating people. Now, she’s decided addiction isn’t real because she’s too blonde to understand it.
She sounds bitter like why didn’t he find me attractive ?
The other way round. Presumed innocent until proven guilty.
@@wendysimpson6395 ?? thats what i said?
that's a legal principle to be upheld in court. What makes you think it should apply outside?
Wow! That’s mega twisted Emily. He’d have to be a magician and a predictor of the future . Much has changed since 2017, dear girl. Let’s face it, he was charming and mesmerising and , say it… he convinced you and you liked him! Bottom line: you know how the media work!
Wellness doesn't mean those things at all, what utter nonsense.
Seems Emily is easily charmed. Pity.
an unfortunate characteristic in a journalist, i'd say
Brand spiritual woke up. Thats why he found a new audience.
She accuses him of being a "Conspiracy theorist" then makes up her own conspiracy theory about him!! Her hypocrisy is astonishing.
Emily, coming out with conspiracy theories about alleged conspiracy theorists is silly and frightfully Alan Partridge level BBC.
The fact that she was so surprised that she was charmed by Brand tells me a lot. Almost like she thinks there are two types of women: those who are easily charmed by the likes of Brand, and those who are not. It's all a bit Pride and Prejudice really, isn't it? 😉
Don’t think she was charmed by Andrew but I bet she thought she might
IF YOU'RE TAKEN IN BY IT ALL HE'S QUITE TRANSPARENT "GET A GRIP EMILY"
Maitlis
Calling someone an Egotistical Narcissist ?
Wonder what She see when She looks in the Mirror before Make Up even After.
Besides stop been Judge & Jury your not either.
Boring as Ever.
In English?
I wonder what happened after the show .
The Maitless was loving every minute of it.
She clearly has zero understanding of addiction or awareness that you can be addicted to anything (substance or behaviour) which is mood-altering. Very judgemental.
She's a heavy smoker, that's why.
In denial of her own addiction.
Remember, with women everything has to somehow relate to them personally, even in a professional capacity when the subject is out of their competency or accreditation.
She doesn't come from a medical background, so as a journalist male or female, shouldn't be pushing her personal and unqualified views on the matter in a public or professional setting.
This is the sort of mindset that leads to "woke" nonsense and extremist illogical ideologies being pushed on to the public.
Journalistic integrity goes a long way.
The thing I've never liked about Brand.. Well, let's be honest, one of the MANY things I've never liked about Brand, is his use of unnecessarily pretentious language.
He''ll frequently use words in the way a schoolchild uses a thesaurus to make their dull, deeply unimaginative essay sound cleverer than it is, in that he'll pick a word that's sort of "meaning-adjacent" to what he's talking about, that he hopes not many others know the actual meaning of, but because it's normally a big, flowery word that sounds intellectual, people will let it slide and think he's intelligent.
For a recent example, he described how his transparency about his previous promiscuity was being "metastasized" into something criminal.
Now, I had to go look up what "metastasized" meant. I presumed it meant "corrupted or changed," as in his transparency was being corrupted and used against him, the poor little victim, but it doesn't actually mean that. It's describing the process by which a cancer spreads from one part of the body to another.
So what he ACTUALLY said, was that his "transparency" (I prefer to call it his "translucency" was the cancer spreading. Whether accidentally or deliberately, he basically outed himself by saying, essentially, that his "transparency" was spreading to other parts of his life, and people were starting to notice what he'd been saying and doing all along.
But everyone let it slide, because it sounded clever.
"Hiding in plain sight," indeed.
Maybe you don't understand him or his use of language.
@chanavogel6098 or maybe some people see through his known manipulation tactics
@@chanavogel6098I think we all understood his use/misuse of language. That was the point being made.
@@chanavogel6098That’s the exact opposite of the point being made. The point is that he uses words that he clearly has a less than perfect grasp of simply because they sound ‘like the sort of thing a smart person would say’. When I hear Brand speak all I can think of is the Princess Bride.
No, he has a very adept grasp of language and is highly articulate.
Ah, Emily. All that so that, at the end, you could put forward your own conspiracy theory. Gotcha!
I honestly thought the same thing, I think he has groomed his audience into things conspiracy, he's a charmer and if he wanted he couldn't be a cult leader.
That's a conspiracy.
"I went in ready to loathe him....." that`s really bad journalism.
We all have pre conceived ideas...It's bad that she fell for his schtick.
Need to do an investigation into tax evasion on Emily, she has hidden a lot of money via her creative accountant!
You’re so wrong on every point you made, it’s not even worth you being in journalism at this point.
You can argue that all addiction is avoidable by the fact that you can always say no. I have watched a lot more of his videos since the allegations, and he is funny and charming. To a degree he plays a character and to what is expected of him which is to be outrageous .I have not seen him force himself on anyone in what I have seen and not seen any indication he would not stop if someone said No. Clearly we were not there.
"Wellness should kind of ring a lot of alarm bells in this day and age".. ..I can't believe how ignorant this woman sounds. Actually I can she is MSM.
yes, that is EXACTLY how should an objective journalist present themselves publicly...... "I went in ready to loathe him" :D:D
Being late for an interview makes you a narcissist these day. That women is delusional
He so knew this was coming. Scroll back to 2017 on his UA-cam. Nothing at all about Me Too but suddenly he's a yoga guru.. 🤔
People do change.
"He's mesmerising, hes funny hes smart hes linguistic". This is an opinion, like much on the Reporting News Media.
If Nigel Farage said addiction doesn't exist he'd get cancelled.
Yes, addicts everywhere Emily, would like a quiet word in your ear.
How condescending and ignorant to pretend addiction is something that can be turned off. Aside from anything else, people trying to stop substance addiction invariably end up addicted to something else as a consequence. Belittling someone who has made an effort to acknowledge their past behaviour helps no one.
I sent into this clip prepared to listen, and came away loathing Emily Maitlis (whoever she is). So, I guess that's a fair trade?
Oh Emily, you're so INTERESTING to listen to! 💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
[Yawn]
so there is no addiction. thank you for letting me know :D
"Let's just get past the idea" that addiction could be an illness?
😔
Nah - he quickly realised it pays better to be a conspiracist, he just does it for the clicks. But he does seem to get a kick out of manipulating his followers/audience/acquaintances etc.
Mostly the dullards in fairness
Usually they’ll vote Trump and Brexit
He just sells grandiose verbiage to slow thinking people 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why are people only calling him a conspiracy theorist now? For almost his entire career he has spoken out against institutions of power, in particular, mainstream media. The only difference is that nowadays he also targets Left leaning media when a decade ago it was mainly Right leaning media. He's ALWAYS been a conspiracy theorist, you lot just don't like it that he isn't YOUR Guardianista conspiracy theorist anymore..
@@PeaceDweller “Always been a conspiracy theorist” - well FM I thought he used to be a comedian. He went over to the dark side simply because the pay is better. The Right has more swivel-eyed loony suckers and therefore provides an order of magnitude more clicks and dollars. He’s not daft. BTW a “conspiracy theorist” would be somebody who theorised about the nature of conspiracy, whereas as a conspiracist is somebody who supports conspiracy theories. I suspect you’re the latter or should that be you’re a hatter.
Like Emily and her conspiracy theory.
Emily: the anti-vax stuff didn’t start for Russell until 2020.
That’s super intriguing. The investigation *did* start right as he began reinventing himself from mainstream media idol to social media influencer… wow, that is quite uh the coincidence
100 women a day. what a legend
So basically, her conspiracy is Russel Brand knew about the pandemic conspiracy, so he rallied up the people to defend him against his own conspiracy.
