It seems like Russell Brand has landed himself in some hot water after attempting to take a jab at Kamala Harris. The controversial comedian has been the talk of the town as he shared a rather confusing post on X, where he seemed to mistake melatonin for melanin while ranting about the new Democrat candidate. Needless to say, he was met with intense mockery and criticism from netizens.
In his post, Brand tried to question the reasons behind the celebration of Harris' appointment as the new running mate for Joe Biden in the US elections. But as journalist Claudia Cockerell pointed out, Brand seemed to have confused melanin - a natural substance that determines skin, hair, and eye pigmentation - with melatonin, a hormone used for sleep problems. This, along with his use of complex words in a convoluted sentence, had X users tearing him apart online.
One user commented on the irony of Brand trying to sound intelligent with his word choice while lacking any real meaning in his post. Another joked about Kamala's melatonin possibly causing Biden's sleepiness. Some even went on to compare Brand's writing style to that of an AI thesaurus or a beta version of ChatGPT. Others shared their own experiences of trying to impress their teachers with big words in their teenage years.
However, not everyone agreed with the criticism. One user defended Brand, saying his writing style reminded them of their own from primary school when they discovered thesauruses. But overall, it seemed like most people were not impressed with Brand's attempt at political commentary.
The post in question seems to have disappeared from Brand's timeline, leaving many wondering what happened to it. This incident comes after Brand faced allegations of rape and sexual assault last year. While he has denied all allegations and claimed any sexual encounter was consensual, he is currently under investigation.
As for where his comment went, some users speculated that he may have deleted it due to the backlash. It's hard to say for sure, but one thing's for certain - Brand's attempt at roasting Harris definitely backfired. It'll be interesting to see if he has anything to say about this in the future. But for now, it seems like he's facing some serious heat online.
