"One of his favourite places to meet women was said to have been Golden Bridge, an elite Kundalini yoga studio..."

"Brand swiftly became a favourite with the instructor, Tej Kaur Khalsa, a distinctive-looking elderly woman who wore a turban and white, flowing dresses.... Monique Reymond [attended a class and remembers] the crowd of students went silent with anticipation as Khalsa took to the stage.... 'And the first words out of Tej’s mouth were, "Does anybody have a hair tie for Russell?"' she said. Reymond remembered the class frantically searching their handbags to be the one to present Brand with the hair tie. 'Russell Brand’s hair was contained. Russell Brand — I don’t know that he was contained,' she added, describing how Brand frequently became involved with women in the class. 'He was sharp and funny and there were many people that responded to that. There were other people who did not and found the whole thing to be really disturbing. There were people who found it upsetting that Tej would allow someone to use her class as a dating app.'"

From "Inside Russell Brand’s Hollywood bubble, where nobody could say no/His fame soared after he married one of the world’s biggest pop stars, but former insiders reveal a world of tantrums, sexual excess and troubling rumours" (London Times).

He admitted to a lot of this stuff, but when you're a star...

There are, I believe, rare men who exude a certain confidence, sexuality, and magnetism that many many women find irresistible. Brand was one; to some degree Epstein was another; It often accompanies celebrity. Like a comic book superpower, it can be corruptive.

I'm sure I would have handled the power wisely, if given the chance...
