Russell Brand Closes Charity Amid Controversy

Russell Brand, the outspoken British comedian, has closed his charity, the Stay Free Foundation, which focused on addiction and mental health support in the UK. The closure comes after Brand (@rustyrockets) vehemently denied allegations of sexual assault by four women. Several charities severed ties with Brand following a joint investigation by major UK media outlets. Brand's decision to end his charity work also aligns with his move to the U.S., where he criticizes UK media and government tactics.
