"Least of Epstein's problems": Russell Brand reacts to reports of Epstein having a painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress

Russell Brand commented on an infamous painting of Bill Clinton that was found in the late Jeffrey Epstein's house. In 2018, the authorities discovered a painting titled Parsing Bill at Epstein's home. It showed former US president Bill Clinton, wearing a blue dress and red heels, sitting on a chair. Some suggest that it hinted at his affair with Monica Lewinsky, as a blue dress was evidence at the time.

On November 26, Russell Brand shared a video of his reaction to a clip featuring Joe Rogan speaking about that painting of Bill Clinton. Rogan, on his podcast, asked his guest:

"Why do you think Epstein had that giant painting of Bill Clinton in a dress in his foyer?"

When the guest responded by initially criticizing the sex offender's taste in art, Brand said in his X video:

"That’s like the least of Epstein’s problems really." He then added sarcastically, "You know what bothered me about Jeffrey Epstein? I don’t know, like wasn’t having sex with children and like filming other people having sex with children, but his taste in art. It was absolutely abysmal."

Rogan then said in the clip of his podcast:

"That painting is like, ‘I gotcha b*tch’. You got a president [Bill Clinton] who was on the flight logs 26 times with Epstein and you got that guy in a f**king dress in your house."

Russell Brand responded:

"I suppose that painting is an indication that power dynamics are not what we assumed them to be."

Bill Clinton's painting, meanwhile, resurfaced earlier this month. Australian artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid painted it in 2012 at the New York Academy of Art. Jeffrey Epstein reportedly bought it in a fundraiser that year.

The comedian and actor shared a video on X on November 20, where he spoke about how everyone is "compromised" in one way or another. He referenced the elites who were linked with Epstein and Sean "Diddy" Combs, and said:

"All of us are under attack, aren't we? The Epstein Island is a perfect paradigm to understand how all of us are ensnared. Powerful people are compromised through sexual temptation that's been used to blackmail them, isn't it? That's what Epstein Island amounts to. But then you think of that, the Diddy parties in Hollywood. You know, everyone there is sort of compromised and kept in line."

Adding his thoughts about "worldliness" and "shame", he added:

"And then below, all of us carry a degree of shame, people that have looked at pornography or paid for sex, and even beyond the strata of sexuality, people are so tethered to worldliness through shame. While you may not have been subject to a tax to the degree that I have, you are compromised, and if you're not being attacked by their systems of evil, then you're not trying hard enough."

Russell Brand, meanwhile, faces multiple charges of rape, sexual assault, and indecent assault. He pleaded not guilty to these charges earlier this year, and a pre-trial is scheduled for May 2026.
