Russell Brand is losing his platforms one by one. His Instagram is gone. A London museum has also cut ties with him in a very unusual way.

Both moves came within days of his conviction and sentencing for rape and sexual assault.

Instagram goes dark

Brand's X page is still active. Somebody shared a notice there that showed a message from Meta saying his Instagram had been disabled for breaking its Community Standards.

A Meta spokesperson said the account came down because it "violates our policies."

The company pointed to its Account Integrity rules, according to reports. Those rules let Meta restrict or shut down accounts that "engage in off-platform activity that can lead to harm."

Accounts belonging to convicted sex offenders fall under that policy.

It is not known who is running his X account. Brand himself is headed to prison on a sentence of 10 and a half years.

Off the museum wall

Over in Hackney, collector Viktor Wynd has taken down a strange item from his museum of oddities. It was pubic hair said to belong to Brand.

"I took them straight off display and have no desire to hear his name again -- he has no place in my museum of horrors," Wynd said.

A woman reportedly gave the hair to the museum. She claims she shaved Brand at a salon. Nobody has independently confirmed that it really came from him.

The item had been on display for more than 10 years. Wynd pulled it just days after Brand was sentenced.

The verdict

A jury found Brand guilty on one rape charge. He was also found guilty on three sexual assault charges.
