Megyn Kelly and Elon Musk comment on Russell Brand's conviction and sentence
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly and entrepreneur Elon Musk expressed their views after a British court sentenced Russell Brand to more than ten years in prison for sexual offenses.
A British court sentenced actor and podcaster Russell Brand to 10½ years in prison on Monday after a jury found him guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others between 2004 and 2009. Brand, 51, has denied the allegations.
Elon Musk posted on his social media platform that the verdict was “Unjust.”
"Unjust," Musk wrote.
Megyn Kelly, who hosts a podcast, said she does not believe the charges.
"I don’t believe these charges. I’m going to be honest. I don’t," Kelly said.
Brand told Kelly in an April interview that he had a sexual encounter with a 16-year-old girl in Europe when he was 30, but claimed it was not illegal. He later told her, "We’ll be OK," after being taken to jail.
Brand married author Laura Gallacher in 2017; the couple has three children.
