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.
The picture was tweeted at 1.51pm but deleted 30 minutes later as Brand declared: "I'm human."
That was a bit nuts. He put it thru me door with "please call" on it. They're bothering me Mum. Deleted it. I'm human.
Some of Brand's followers replied to his deleted tweet to say they had texted Sears and left him voicemail messages.
Meanwhile, others questioned the ethics and legality of Brand's actions.
Interesting to see what police do about @rustyrockets tweet of a hacks mobile number. They served harassment order for three calls recently
.@guyadams tweeted NBC exec's email to <15k + @Twitter suspended him. Wonder if @rustyrockets will get same for sending journo mob # to 8.7m
Twitter's rules state that users can't publish someone's private information without their consent.
The Mail and MailOnline have written a string of unflattering and critical articles about Brand in the past few weeks.
