The 48-year-old comedian and actor Russell Brand has been accused of rape, assault and emotional. Since the time news has surfaced, YouTube has taken a step further and has suspended monetization of his channel.
This also leads to the prevention of advertisements being played alongside his videos, where he has a follower count of 6.61 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. His other channels include Football is Nice, Awakening With Russell and Stay Free With Russell Brand.
As per a YouTube spokesperson, if a creator’s off-platform behaviour harms their users, employees or eco-system, action (of this nature) is taken.
