It’s been a huge weekend of pop culture news…

From Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announcing the end of their 27-year-long relationship, to Drew Barrymore backflipping on her decision to resume filming of her talkshow during the writers strike.

On top of all that, an explosive joint investigation by the UK media has levelled multiple sexual assault allegations against comedian comedian Russell Brand. We unpack the claims, as well as the online persona Brand has curates which seems to have made him uncancellable, even in the face of this exposè.

If this episode has raised any issues for you, or if you just feel like you need to speak to someone, please call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) – the national sexual assault, domestic and family violence counselling service.
