Russell Brand’s Pubic Hair Removed from London Museum

The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in Hackney has removed a display of pubic hair said to belong to Russell Brand following his conviction on rape charges. Museum proprietor Viktor Wynd said Brand had no place in the museum and that he did not want to hear his name again.

The hair’s claimed connection to Brand has not been independently verified; Wynd said a woman who claimed to have shaved Brand at a Camden Town salon gave it to him. It has been replaced by an artist’s commemorative plate reading “Guilty of Rape”, with the museum inviting donations to Britain’s Rape Crisis charity.
