The culture of silence surrounding Russell Brand

from The Brink - Mental Health Demystified · host The Brink with Matt Hussey

This week I wanted to explore one of the less understood sides of the Russell Brand scandal: Why did so many people around him not speak or say something? There were producers, directors, friends, colleagues and others all present for some of his worst behaviour, but why didn't anyone speak up? In today's episode, I'm going to be examining that in more detail. Here are links to some of the research mentioned and resources you can use if you see something and want to say something.
