    A clip of comedian Sean Lock calling out Russell Brand for his behaviours has resurfaced online. <\/p>\n

    As various stand-up stars voice their true opinions of the disgraced presenter and comedian, fans have praised Lock for his comments on Brand in 2014.<\/p>\n

    The late comedian, who died in August 2021, was appearing on 8 Out of 10 Cats nine years ago when he made the remarks.<\/p>\n

    In the clip, host Jimmy Carr was moderating a discussion about Russell Brand, who had appeared at a demonstration against capitalism in London. <\/p>\n

    Sean was a regular team captain on the Channel 4 comedy panel show, and was joined by fellow comedian Romesh Ranganathan and singer Mel C. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Whilst discussing Russell, who had left the UK to pursue his career in the States, Sean did not hold back for his disdain for Brand.<\/p>\n

    Lock said that he had a "fear" of someone like the comedian coming home with his daughter.<\/p>\n

    "Probably the reason I hate him so much is because I'm a dad and I've got this fear that one day my daughters will bring something like that home," he quipped at the time.<\/p>\n

    He added that he believed his appearance at the protests in 2014 was a "publicity stunt" for his book.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    It came just weeks after Brand had also called on the public not to vote to disrupt political systems, but had to retract his statements.<\/p>\n

    "He's back-pedalled so much now, he started out saying 'Don't vote, it's stupid, pointless to vote'," Lock said.<\/p>\n

    "And him saying stuff to people who disaffected already and aren't engaged with political process is the most moronic, self-serving, pathetic bit of attention-seeking w**k that has ever been".<\/p>\n

    Brand is in the midst of several allegations of rape, sexual abuse and physical assault after Channel 4, working with The Times, published a huge expos\u00e9 on the former Big Brother's Big Mouth host.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Russell strongly denies the "very serious and criminal allegations" made against him.<\/p>\n

    Defending himself on his Youtube channel before his platform was taken down, he said in a statement: "These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies.<\/p>\n

    "And as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous. Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual".<\/p>\n
