Title: Russell Brand Brags About Kissing Meghan Markle Before Her Marriage to Prince Harry
Russell Brand has recently come under scrutiny after boasting about kissing Meghan Markle prior to her marriage to Prince Harry.
The comedian, who has been accused of abusive and predatory behavior by multiple women between 2006 and 2013, vehemently denies these allegations, emphasizing that all his relationships have been consensual.
In a resurfaced clip from ITV's Loose Women in 2018, Brand revealed that he had a brief encounter with the future Duchess of Sussex just a week before her wedding.
Both Brand and Meghan appeared in the 2010 film Get Him to the Greek, where Brand portrayed a drug-addled rockstar with a penchant for promiscuity.
During the discussion on Loose Women, Brand proudly mentioned their alleged encounter, stating, “She was in a film that I was in, Get Him to the Greek.
It was a good film.
Meghan Markle didn't know at the time because she wasn't married to a royal person.
I don't remember the film that much.
I think I planted one on her in a scene.
It was scripted in the scene.
I only know this because I think I saw a clip of it somewhere.
Meghan Markle, there we go.
They should bring that up at the wedding if anyone has any reason.
Yeah, yeah, Russell Brand snogged her in a film.”
Although some claim that a clip from the film captures the moment in question, doubts have arisen regarding whether it actually shows Brand kissing Meghan.
Brand himself mentioned seeing a clip of the supposed incident online, but it seems that if the scene did occur, it did not make the final cut of the movie.
The alleged connection between Russell Brand and Meghan Markle has sparked intense curiosity, as evidenced by the surge in searches related to whether they slept together.
Google Trends data indicates a 400% increase in searches for phrases such as “did Russell Brand sleep with Meghan Markle” and “did Meghan Markle and Russell Brand hook up.”
These inquiries stem from the ongoing investigation into Brand's past following the allegations of s**ual abuse made against him.
Some speculate that Meghan may have strategically re-circulated a clip from an interview where Brand boasts about kissing her to further her own agenda.
In the film, Meghan had a brief 40-second role as Tatiana, a girl kissed by Brand's character at a party.
Critics of Meghan believe that she could be using this old clip to her advantage.
Furthermore, Meghan's lack of a job title, alongside Prince Harry, has prompted discussions about their identity and purpose.
Royal commentator Daniela Elsa alluded to this during a conversation about Meghan's appearance at the Invictus Games with Prince Harry.
Elsa noted that unlike other celebrities, Harry and Meghan's job titles were conspicuously absent, leading to ridicule and fueling an alleged existential crisis within the Sussexes.
As the dust settles, the court of public opinion will soon determine whether the new positive era for Harry and Meghan has truly begun.
If they have successfully navigated the challenges, it is hoped that they will continue to focus on their strengths and remain true to their purpose.
