Russell Brand is facing yet another police investigation as Thames Valley Police has confirmed to the MailOnline that they are currently investigating a woman's allegations against the comedian. This is in addition to the ongoing investigation by the Metropolitan Police that was launched after a Channel 4 Dispatches special in September.
According to the publication, police logs have revealed that the woman in question has accused Brand of being a ‘sexual predator’. It is alleged that the two had become friends in 2015, only to later accuse each other of harassment. Thames Valley Police had previously looked into the woman's claims and dismissed them, but have decided to re-examine the case after the woman provided new information.
The woman's allegations are the latest in a series of accusations against Brand that have cast a shadow over his career. He has denied allegations of rape, sexual assault, and controlling behaviour, insisting that any past encounters were consensual. The Met Police have also received numerous allegations of sexual offences committed elsewhere in the country.
In response to the ongoing investigations, Thames Valley Police said: ‘This information is being investigated, as such it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation’.
Brand has made some attempts to move on with his life since the allegations were made, returning to his regular Rumble show and thanking his online followers for their support. He has also promoted Rumble, a right-wing, online video platform that has not followed YouTube in blocking the comedian from advertising revenue.
Unfortunately, the comedian's career has suffered some setbacks; his UK and Australian tours have been cancelled, he has been dropped by his management, and the BBC and Channel 4 have launched their own investigations into his behaviour while working on their shows. In addition, Brand has stepped down from his two businesses, had his YouTube channel demonetised, and celebrity pals have cut ties.
The Agency has contacted Thames Valley Police and reps for Russell Brand for comment.
