Idk if any of it is true. I'd like to think they weren't as I kinda like Russel Brand, but who knows? On the other hand, even if they are absolutely proven to be false (which is really tough to do), he will never be exonerated. Look at Depp. He had an actual recording of Amber Turd saying she was going to falsely accuse him and presented that in court along with a slew of other evidence of her bad behavior. She lost in that court battle, but there are still some who think Depp is the villain here.

In fact, the only male celebrity I can think of who had been accused and was still able to get his career back is Chris Hardwick. Still, he was erased from Nerdist, a site he helped start. The opposite is never true. Look at Asia Argento. She was accused of sleeping with a teenaged boy and it's all but forgotten.

Has any female actually gotten taken down by sex abuse allegations?

Cardi B is fine, and she literally admitted to date raping guys then robbing them. She didn't even apologize, she just said she did what she had to do to earn money.

Also Lena Dunham wrote in her autobiography about how she used to rape her little sister. She's still going strong too. Pretty much no tangible backlash whatsoever.

In fact, pretty much the only girls I can think of that really got canceled for anything are Rossane Barr and Gina Carano and both was for saying vaguely right wing stuff.
