Ex Fox News presenter Dan Bongino who is one of the biggest financial backers of Rumble tells viewers to follow Russell Brand on video-sharing platform as it continues to monetise the comic's content

Russell Brand's material is still being monetised on a video-sharing platform, where he has 1,367 films online.

Former Fox News presenter Dan Bongino directed fans of Brand to the Rumble network, of which Bongino is a major financial backer.

He wrote on Twitter: 'Join Rumble today. Russell is already there.'

Indeed Brand has been on the platform for two years already, with his first film on the site entitled 'Did Liberals use feminism to justify Afghan Cluster F***'.

In fact he has over 1,300 clips there and is expected to break his silence there this week.

Unlike YouTube - which yesterday stopped his ability to monetise his videos - there are still adverts on his footage on Rumble.

Rumble was founded in 2013 by Chris Pavlovski and now positions itself as a platform for alternative voices.

They include auction marketplace eBay, toys for popular children's series Paw Patrol as well as a sofa firm.

Others that appear are for a dental treatment as well as a tourism video encouraging people to visit Texas.

It is thought the companies have paid to be advertised on the platform in general, rather than specifically on his content. 

Brand is currently at the centre of a storm over serious allegations of rape and sexual abuse made by four women.

He vehemently denies any wrongdoing and posted a video refuting the claims, which were made on Channel 4's Dispatches programme and in the Sunday Times.

The Metropolitan Police is currently investigating an allegation. It said: "On Sunday September 17, the Met received a report of a sexual assault which was alleged to have taken place in Soho in central London in 2003.

'Officers are in contact with the woman and will be providing her with support.'

With YouTube suspending his ability to make money from its site Rumble will now act as a precious income stream to him.

Shows featuring Russell Brand have been removed from BBC iPlayer. This includes a 2018 episode of QI 

His posts potentially earn up to £80,000 each video.

Rumble was founded in 2013 by Chris Pavlovski and now positions itself as a platform for alternative voices.

When it started out it featured news stories as well as funny viral clips of animals.

But during the pandemic it became home to a number of different voices.

Both Andrew Tate and Rudy Giuliani joined the platform and Donald Trump's son is also signed up to it.

Brand's other videos include 'They WANT War (And They're Not Russian)', 'You've Been LIED To About Why Ukraine War Began' and 'They Planned It All Along'.

Other broadcasters and podcasts began stripping references to Brand from their own platforms after the reports at the weekend.

The BBC and Channel 4 have removed shows featuring the comedian, including episodes of QI and The Great Celebrity Bake Off.

During the baking show he made a biscuits in the shape of a vagina but did not win the culinary contest. 

A Joe Wicks podcast about fame that featured him a guest in 2021 has been unavailable since Monday evening

The BBC has also reported that Stephen Bartlett, a Dragons' Den investor, has removed an episode of his Diary of a CEO podcast featuring Brand that was released earlier this year.

A description of the episode says Brand discusses 'how his life has been defined by his addictions' with the businessman.

BBC director-general Tim Davie said some of his content was 'completely unacceptable', and announced that Peter Johnston, director of editorial complaints, would be leading a review into Brand's time at the corporation.

The probe will look at complaints against Brand, what BBC bosses knew, and what was done, the broadcaster said. 

The review - which will provide an interim update 'within weeks' - will also examine the comedian's use of a BBC car which one victim says he sent to pick her up from school and take her to his house when she was 16. 

After announcing the BBC's review today, Mr Davie was asked if the corporation had a culture of 'letting people get away with bad behaviour'.

'I do think we're in a different place, over 15 years,' he replied. 'When I listened back, frankly, to some of those broadcasts [featured on the Dispatches investigation into Brand] I go, that is just completely unacceptable.

'What led to that being on air? Now there are, you know, different times and all of that, but I just look at that stuff and I say there is no way I will listen to that, there's no way I accept it.'

Speaking later at an internal all-staff session, the director-general told BBC workers that the corporation would look into 'any complaints' made about Brand's conduct.

He added: ‘The review will also look at the position regarding any cars used by the BBC at that time.’

Mr Davie added that the BBC aimed to complete this work ‘as swiftly as possible’ saying he was hoping for an initial report in ‘weeks, not months’.

He said ‘the objective is to be totally transparent’ and to ‘just share what we have’.

When he was asked if he was aware of any allegations about Brand prior to the Sachsgate controversy which saw the comedian lose his job at the BBC, Mr Davie said: ‘I wasn’t aware of the serious allegations we’ve heard.’

Former Radio 6 Music presenter Liz Kershaw earlier this week said it was ‘about time’ the BBC was investigating how it handled Brand during his time there.
