Aye, the bloke was pretty open about how promiscuous he was. He ****ing well made sure we all knew about that.

Maybe some thing more will come out, I don't know. But it's come to the point that successfully chatting up some bird at a bar 15 years ago can get you in bother cos it was coercive and manipulative sexual abuse.

This puritanical narrative that's creeping into society from both sides of the extremes is frightening.

By the time my lad is getting his end away they'll have to draw up legal contracts with a solicitor present.

Just watched the programme
That took four years???
Not illegal but a bit iffy with a 16 year old
But the rape claims are very dodgy
Now he’s had his business cancelled
Not sure how he goes about fighting it
Has he been charged yet?

Not taken a real big interest in this but didn't i hear that the 16 year old had been with her mother at a party with Brand? something about the mother leaving the party early.

Don't know if he's guilty or not, same as most obviously. Never found him funny, but I wasn't his target audience.

But it sticks that many famous ppl who have had a media platform for over a decade and are happy to spout off about everything, like the trigger happy fella with the big phone 20 year ago, suddenly come out and say that they knew but were unable to do anything... why were they unable? No different to anyone else confronting someone in a workplace and demanding to know if rumours are true and if they are, outing them.

An American grandmaster who was part of a row which rattled the world of chess has denied using a vibrating sex toy to cheat.

In September 2022 Hans Niemann sat down to play Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen in chess's Sinquefield Cup St Louis, Missouri.

Niemann won, but was accused by Carlsen of cheating - a claim which sparked a huge legal row between the pair.

The pair settled a $100m (£79m) lawsuit last month.

On Monday evening, Niemann spoke to Piers Morgan Uncensored about the scrutiny he has faced since being accused of cheating.

"It is very disheartening to be accused of cheating after that victory," he said.

"These things happen and I managed to learn a lot during that time and it really has taught me a lot of very important lessons about life and chess."

Niemann told Morgan he believed the last year has "strengthened his resolve" as he insisted to the host he did not cheat.

Morgan continued talking about claims that Niemann was getting signals from someone through the remote-controlled sex toy.

"To be clear, on the specific allegation - have you ever used anal beads while playing chess?" Morgan asked.

The 20-year-old replied: "Well, your curiosity is a bit concerning, you know - maybe you're personally interested, but I can tell you, no.

"Categorically, no, of course not."
