Brand photographed and tweeted the business card of senior Daily Mail reporter Neil Sears and encouraged his 8.7 million followers to get in touch, then deleted the tweet soon afterwards.
Russell Brand and the Daily Mail are not best friends – which explains why the comedian this afternoon tweeted the contact details of a Mail reporter to his 8.7 million followers.
Brand's assertion that Sears "wants to talk about it" was seen by some followers as an invitation to contact the reporter with abusive messages.

Some of Brand's followers replied to his deleted tweet to say they had texted Sears and left him voicemail messages.
