Netflix faces backlash for refusing to pull Russell Brand special after rape conviction

Netflix has decided to keep Russell Brand's 2018 stand-up special on its platform, despite the comedian's conviction for rape and sexual assault.

Russell Brand: Re: Birth, recorded at London's Hackney Empire, will no longer be actively promoted or recommended to subscribers, but viewers will still be able to access it.

During the show, Brand discusses the birth of his first child and jokes about how surprised he was that it had taken him so long to get a woman pregnant.
