Russel Brand is facing another investigation by a second police force over allegations of stalking and harassment.
Thames Valley Police (TVP) is taking a fresh look at allegations previously made by a woman against the comedian between 2018 and 2022.
It comes after several women accused Brand of a number of sexual offences which are being examined by the Metropolitan Police.
TVP did not name Brand, but said: “Thames Valley Police in the past two weeks received new information in relation to the harassment and stalking allegations dating back to 2018.

“This information is being investigated. As such, it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation.”
Earlier this month allegations were published from four women who accused Brand of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse over a seven-year period.
Since then more women have come forward with claims of their own and the comedian's former employers at the BBC and Channel 4 have launched internal investigations into his conduct while he worked there.
YouTube has banned Brand from being able to monetise his videos on its platform, with the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee chairwoman writing to other social media platforms to demand they do the same.
