Russell Brand Under Second UK Police Investigation for Sexual Misconduct and Harassment Allegations

Thames Valley Police has opened a second investigation into Russell Brand following allegations of harassment and stalking made by a woman who reported her claims multiple times between 2018 and 2022. This comes in addition to the ongoing Met Police probe into rape and sexual assault allegations against Brand. The comedian denies any criminal wrongdoing and asserts that all his relationships were consensual. Internal investigations have been launched by the BBC, Channel 4, and Big Brother producer Banijay, while Brand has been dropped by his agent and book publisher.
