Piers Morgan took to social media on Sunday to share memes featuring a clip from his latest show with British comedian and actor Russell Brand.
The clip features an awkward, long silence, in which Brand is turning pages of the Bible he took to court during a trial, when Morgan asks him to read the relevant verses.
The British journalist interviewed Brand days after the comedian admitted to sleeping with a 16-year-old boy during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, Morgan posted several screengrabs of the clip, captioned with humorous text.
Speaking to Megyn Kelly, Russell Brand said, “In Europe and the United Kingdom where I live, the age of consent is 16 and when I was 30, I slept with a 16-year-old. But when I was 30, I was a very different person. I was much younger and I was an immature 30-year-old.”
Brand continued, “I recognized that my sexual conduct in the past was selfish. I didn’t give enough thought, hardly thought about…really, how that sex was affecting other people.”
In February 2026, Russell Brand pleaded not guilty in a London court to two additional charges of rape and sexual assault dating back nearly two decades.
Brand, once one of Britain’s most high-profile broadcasters and America’s former husband. Singer Katy Perry has appeared at Southwark Crown Court in London and denied charges of raping a woman and sexually assaulting another woman in 2009.
