Russell Brand and Megyn Kelly speculate that it’s “God’s plan” for him to go to prison if he is convicted of raping and sexually assaulting women. Kelly: “As I’m listening to you talk, I have this fear in the back of my head, Russell Brand.” Brand: “Oh, no! What is it?” Kelly: “I’m worried about your criminal trial. I don’t think that you’re gonna get a fair shake in Great Britain.” Brand: “Oh, no!” Kelly: “They love to put people in jail.” Brand: “Oh, no! I don’t wanna go to jail!… It’s my strong preference to not go to jail.” Kelly laughs and asks “So what if you go to jail, what kind of jail time would you be facing if the worst happened?” Brand: “I think if you are convicted of being a rapist, you go to jail for a very long time. Which, if you are a rapist, I think is only right and only fair.” Kelly: “Yes, but what if you’re not and you get convicted anyway?” Brand: “Then that’s not fair, that’s not fair, that’s not… That would be what we call injustice.” Kelly: “Ok, but I actually have a worry that they’ll send you because maybe what if it is part of your path? What if you’re supposed to be like ministering to men in jail or changing the lives of the least fortunate among us? And this is part of, you know, God’s plan for you.” Brand: “If it’s God’s plan then there’s no point resisting it, is there? If it’s God’s plan, then off I go and I will serve him there. If that’s God’s plan. I don’t like that idea much cause I’d rather be with my little children and my wife…” Kelly: “But it’s so hard to defend yourself against something that you may or may not have done 20 years ago? Like that’s the problem that we have with, you know, like the case against Trump, the civil rape allegation E. Jean Carroll, which she won.” Brand: “Was that in the, in the changing room one?” Kelly: “Yes… it was 30-35 years earlier, it’s like how are you supposed to after all that time—or what happened to Justice Kavanaugh. Our Supreme Court Justice that got accused of sexually molesting a woman 30 years earlier, like you, you have no papers to show where you actually were that day. You don’t have a contemporaneous memory of. ‘I absolutely was not doing that with you because I was at a Starbucks and here’s my receipt.’ It’s very, very hard to disprove.” Brand: “But the legal standard Megyn is uh beyond reasonable doubt that this person did it. Beyond it, it would be not reasonable to doubt it. If you’re like ‘Hmm, I doubt that happened…’”
