British comedian Russell Brand said on X Wednesday that Meta had removed his Instagram account. He shared a screenshot of a notice saying the account had been disabled for violating the platform’s rules.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed to TMZ that Brand’s account was taken down because it violated the company’s policies. His X page remains active.
A court in London convicted Brand of rape last week. On Monday, he was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
