    Ricky is the opposite of a scum bag. It’s one of the few personalities you know is legit decent. No signs of narcissism megalomania or general out of touchness. He’s incredibly grounded

      No /s tag?

      I worked with him at XFM, he’s a grade A cunt of the highest order. The worst bully I’ve ever worked with.

      Backstage at Live8 Ricky Gervais was at the side of the stage. Paris Hilton walked up to him and said how much she liked his stuff.

      Ricky: “Have we met before?”

      Paris “Yes. I’m Paris Hilton”

      Ricky “Oh, sorry Paris, I didn’t recognise you without a cock in your mouth.”

      Sounds pretty scummy, and not part of an act.

      “I nearly knocked this old woman over,” he said, in a patter about drink-driving, “but I didn’t. I raped her.”

      Hilarious

    I guess this would make more sense if I knew who the first guy was. I know about the charges against Russell Brand. No idea his connection to Ricky Gervais, if any.
