A mysterious message has appeared on Russell Brand’s X account just days after the comedian was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison. The cryptic post thanked Elon Musk and ended with two intriguing words: “Stay tuned.”
The unexpected message was published on Russell Brand’s X account two days after the comedian was jailed following his conviction for rape and sexual assault.
The 51-year-old was sentenced on Monday, November 9, at Southwark Crown Court in London, receiving a prison term of 10 years and six months. Just four days earlier, on November 5, a jury found him guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 2004 and 2009. He was acquitted of two additional rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault.
Brand is currently being held at HMP Wandsworth in southwest London. Reports suggest that other inmates have already created a chant about the comedian. He is also reportedly being housed in a vulnerable prisoners’ wing, known as The Block, amid concerns that he could become a target inside the prison.
Russell Brand’s Instagram and Facebook Accounts Removed
On Wednesday evening, November 11, an unusual post appeared on Brand’s X account, drawing attention to the apparent removal of his other social media profiles.
The post included screenshots showing that his Instagram account had been disabled and his Facebook account suspended. A notification from Meta stated that the account, or activity associated with it, had violated the platform’s Community Guidelines.
The message accompanying the screenshots read: “There never was a Russell Brand, according to @Meta. Thank God for @elonmusk. Stay tuned.”
The reference to Elon Musk is particularly notable, given that he owns X, the social media platform where the message was published.
However, several questions remain unanswered. Since Brand is currently in prison, it is unclear who actually published the message on his behalf. It is also unknown what the final words, “stay tuned,” are intended to signal or whether any further announcements are planned.
The post quickly attracted a wide range of reactions, with users expressing sharply divided opinions in the comments.
Some commenters offered prayers and words of support for Brand, despite the judge having described him as a “sexual predator” during sentencing.
Others were considerably more critical, with one person writing: “Little rapey-wapey-ist has got his publicist to tweet while he’s sitting in a dark cell for his rapey-wapey.”
The contrasting responses highlight how divisive the situation surrounding the comedian has become following his conviction.
Russell Brand’s ‘Going-Away Party’ Before His Trial
The mysterious social media post is not the only development attracting attention. Details have also emerged about a gathering Brand reportedly held in Florida shortly before traveling to the United Kingdom to face trial.
On September 27, just days before his departure for the UK, Brand hosted a party attended by approximately 100 guests at Grayton Beach in Florida.
According to Page Six, those present included members of Path of Grace Recovery, an all-women sobriety program, as well as individuals from his church.
A source familiar with the gathering described it as a “going-away party.”
Brand’s wife, Laura, and their three children were also reportedly in attendance.
Path of Grace Recovery is based in Destin, Florida. On its official website, the organization describes itself as a “structured and protected setting for women who are ready to change their lives.”
Its approach focuses on “Christ-centered teachings” and sponsorship through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
TMZ has reported that Brand “supported” the program, although the exact nature of his relationship with the organization remains unclear.
Throughout the years, Brand has spoken openly about his involvement in a 12-step sobriety program and his efforts to help other people through their own recovery journeys. His work and experiences in this area were also brought up during his trial.
During the September gathering, Brand reportedly addressed those in attendance with a remark that, in light of what followed, has attracted particular attention.
“I might be going away for a long time,” he reportedly told guests.
There never was a Russell Brand, according to @Meta.
Thank God for @elonmusk.
Stay tuned. https://t.co/nZTZRfEYM1
