Comedian Russell Brand Stands To Gain £20million From His Divorce From Pop Star Wife Perry (14 months of marriage) - Now will feminists see the absurdity?

DarthOvious · 2012-01-01T23:13:16+00:00

Lets have a look at some of the comments on this one.

A Real Man would never ever take that kind of money from his wife of less than 2 years. Walk away with your dignity, Russell. For gods sake. Where's your self esteem? He should getvthe equivalent of what he would have made those months, on his own. Not a penny more.

So thata what women are when they divorce their husbands and get millions of pounds afterwards. They have no dignity or self esteem.

I don't like the way he articulates the term "real man" either. He sounds like a real asshole to me.

Couldn't agree more. She's quite pretty but he's pretty ugly! Why should he get anything? He's big enough and ugly enough to take care of himself plus he comes across as a nasty piece of work who thinks the sun shines out of his rear orifice.

Wow, name calling and then of course the whole "he can take care of himself argument". I wonder if this guy would apply the same reasoning to a female.

A_Privateer · 2012-01-01T20:55:54+00:00

While I do not think it is ethically right for him to be awarded this money, under the circumstances I'm fine with this because it will highlight the absurdity of the system.

crookers · 2012-01-01T19:25:28+00:00

I'm sure they're already well aware of the absurdity, they just want it to remain in their favor.

nanomagnetic · 2012-01-01T20:37:01+00:00

Again and again and again it seems that a lot of people need reminding that despite all the hype and the movies, marriage is actually, primarily, structured more like a business partnership...

elitez · 2012-01-01T19:07:14+00:00

Russell Brand shouldn't get any of the fortune that he didn't earn. Same goes for Katy Perry.

Kenar405 · 2012-01-01T21:28:52+00:00

I see Daily Mail articles a lot on this subreddit, and as someone from the UK this is not a newspaper you want to be linking to if you can help it. It's one of the newspapers that rates along side Fox news when it comes to fair, balance and non-reactionary news reporting.

Slenderson · 2012-01-02T00:14:44+00:00

Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the discussions. This is a perfect example of how ridiculous the marriage and divorce laws are.

AnonymousChicken · 2012-01-02T02:16:55+00:00

Russell Brand has finally done something I've chuckled at.

Feminists see the absurdity of their own pushed polices?

LOL no. No they won't. I'd sooner expect scientologists to ask their psychiatrist if they are in a cult.

adriens · 2012-01-02T03:44:22+00:00

And already the double standard rolls in..

+58 If Brand is a real man he will refuse any such settlement and walk away with what he came into the marriage with. -Dennis Brown, NJ USA, 01/1/2012 22:54

+177 I hope Russell Brand only takes what he has earned and leaves Katy Perry's money alone. That would be decent thing to do. - Jane, London, 01/1/2012 23:21

SenJunkieEinstein · 2012-01-01T21:42:45+00:00

God damn it, you just ruined my month-long streak of NOT reading the fucking Daily Mail.

ExistentialEnso · 2012-01-01T22:39:42+00:00

So... is it really unusual to get a pre-nup?

I'm not married, won't be for a while, but I plan on getting one regardless. And I don't even really have any money.

Grubnar · 2012-01-01T23:53:22+00:00

My guess would be; no.

UnoriginalMike · 2012-01-01T22:15:23+00:00

It's absurd the woman lost, duh...

c0up0n · 2012-01-01T20:47:36+00:00

You go girl!

No, no they will not.

venomous_harridan · 2012-01-02T17:59:52+00:00

Russell Brand is set to make up to £20million from his divorce from wife Katy Perry, according to reports.

Vague reference to vague uncited 'reports' stating Brand could get 20 mill.

If you believe this is accurate reporting instead of barely substantiated celebrity gossip, remember every time you buy a lottery ticket that just because you 'stand to gain millions' does not mean you actually will.

hevo4ever-reddit · 2012-01-01T20:20:25+00:00

A precedence needs to be created for the laws to be changed. +1 For him getting his 20 millions.

reading the comments was another fun trip down female entitlement lane, like always.

memymineown · 2012-01-01T19:10:18+00:00

Good for him. Until women start having to deal with what men have had to deal with for decades we won't see change.

2012-01-01T20:37:28+00:00

NEVER!

poopsmith666 · 2012-01-02T03:32:48+00:00

anyone got that picture in the thumbnail? lol

arstin · 2012-01-02T03:37:49+00:00

Wow, this thread is a giant clusterfuck of division of assets, alimony, and child support. They really need to be three separate discussions.

carchamp1 · 2012-01-02T03:53:19+00:00

Who's laughing now?

Supertrinko · 2012-01-02T11:33:19+00:00

Remember, before accusing people of double standards, remember that public opinion is not one large hive mind.

Not that many people have double standards, but people do comment on the things they disagree with, so it gives that illusion.

I honestly don't really care who gets the money. Why does it matter, when they both have plenty of money at their disposal already?

Luriker · 2012-01-02T08:02:49+00:00

Nope, Chuck Testa

Liverotto · 2012-01-02T00:22:20+00:00

I hope he spends it all on hookers and document the acts meticulously, then make a cumpilation of it all and sends it to her.

Dear Perry

You sucked a lot of cocks to get where you are today.

I think you should be kind of proud that money is going back where it came from.

Thy Eternal Love

Russell

ThePigman · 2012-01-02T01:50:17+00:00

And i thought Brand was incapable of being funny! Frankly, i always had the impression she badgered him into getting married, so it would serve the ugly little heifer right if he took her to the cleaners. As for the feminists they won't care until cases like this are more than a rare exception. As it is, for every woman who gets screwed there are dozens of men who get screwed and that's a fair trade in their eyes.

broseph12 · 2012-01-01T23:22:25+00:00

Fucking lesbo slut Perry should have stayed in the kitchen. This is where feminism gets us, the devolution of marriage by feminists/homosexuals has raised divorce levels to an all time high.
