YouTube is cutting off Russell Brand<\/strong>‘s cash flow in response to rape and sexual assault allegations against him — the platform’s suspended him from making money off his videos.<\/p>\n A YouTube spokesperson said on Tuesday it’s suspending the comedian-turned-influencer’s account — which has over 6.6 million subscribers — which means he won’t be able to cash in on the ads that play before and during his library of vids.<\/p>\n The company says Brand violated its creator responsibility policy — which, in part, says a creator’s off-platform behavior that’s deemed potentially harmful to others can result in YouTube taking action.<\/p>\n This doesn’t just affect Brand’s main channel, BTW … it also puts the kibosh on his other accounts raking in the dough, like Awakening with Russell, Football Is Nice, and Stay Free with Russell Brand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we reported, Brand is now facing claims from multiple women who claim to have been raped, sexually assaulted or abused by him from 2006 to 2013 … with one alleged victim saying said she had toxic interactions with him when she was just 16 years old.<\/p>\n He was put on blast in 2 pieces, published on Saturday through The Times (UK) and Channel 4. Brand tried getting in front of the report by posting a video Friday on social media — including his YT channel — saying all of his sexual encounters have been consensual.<\/p>\n FYI, the BBC has also pulled some of Brand’s shows from its Sounds and iPlayer platforms after the allegations came to light — saying some of his past content “now falls below public expectations.”<\/p>\n Russell Brand Denies Allegations of Rape Ahead of Explosive Expos\u00e9 <\/h4>\n
