Russell Brand Posts Video Identifying Bible Verse After Viral Piers Morgan Stumble

The follow-up highlights his bid to steer public perception through faith messaging ahead of a high-profile trial.

Overview

  • Brand shared a video on X on Sunday showing Isaiah 43:18–19 marked in his Bible and reading it after his failed on-air search two days earlier.
  • The Piers Morgan Uncensored clip drew wide ridicule online as viewers noted his 90-second struggle to find the passage.
  • He said court staff took his Bible during a February hearing and framed the verse as meaningful to renewal in what he called a post‑Epstein world.
  • He faces a trial scheduled for October 12 at Southwark Crown Court on charges from six women dating to 1999–2009, which he denies.
  • In recent interviews, he acknowledged sex with a 16-year-old when he was 30, calling it legal in the U.K. and exploitative or morally wrong.
