Make Page Six a Preferred Source Russell Brand’s dad, Ronald “Ron” Henry Brand, labeled his son a “victim” following the actor’s rape conviction.
After the actor was sentenced Monday to 10 years and six months in prison, reporters asked Ron whether he had a message for the “victims” of the rape and three sexual assaults Russell was found guilty of.
When the journalist clarified that it was “not Russell” they meant by “victim,” Ron replied, “The girls you mean, who chased him and harassed him – is that what you mean?”
The individual responded by noting the “Get Him to the Greek” star had been convicted — to which Ron insisted, “I don’t care.”
Ron previously defended his son when Russell was hit with a slew of sexual assault allegations in 2023.

He wrote via Facebook at the time that the accusations were “unproven.”
Ron asked, “Is this seriously the most important thing happening in this world? Immigrants? Cost of living? 10s of thousands killed in Ukraine? Who is prioritising [sic] at BBC News. Who is really driving this vendetta?”
