Russell Brand made waves when he failed to show for his two shows for Rumble in the week - here’s everything you need to know about the site

Viewers on Rumble were left shocked on Monday night (September 18), as comedian Russell Brand failed to show for his 5pm slot on the website. This comes after Brand was accused of some heinous crimes in the days prior.

Every weekday at 5pm, Brand shows up on Rumble to talk about a number of topics ranging from the JFK assassination to health and fitness. His last upload on the site was four days ago, meaning he also didn’t show up for his Tuesday slot either.

Brand has accumulated just over 1.4m followers on Rumble, making him the fifth most followed person on the site, behind Andrew Tate, Dinesh D’Souza, Donald Trump and Dan Bongino, who is the most followed with 2.8m.

On Tuesday (September 19), it was announced that YouTube had suspended Russell Brand from advert income. This could hurt Brand financially, who has over 6.6 million subscribers on the site.  On Rumble, his most popular videos have a potential of earning up to £80,000 each over the course of its lifetime, it is understood.
