He has vehemently denied the allegations – but the BBC, Channel 4 and production company Baniyaj have launched investigations into his conduct, while the Met Police and Thames Valley Police have said they are investigating the complaints.
Elsewhere, Katie Price this week opened up about her experience with Russell during an interview with G2 magazine.
Kate, 45, revealed she met Russell ‘a few times’ and her bodyguard continued to work for him.
Although she thought he was ‘quite a nice guy, quite funny actually’, she recalled one incident she did not approve of.
She revealed that she and the comedian spent time together in the Noughties when she was with Peter Andre and Russell was with a girlfriend.
Katie recalled: βOne time we were stuck at the airport at LAX with him. He had a girlfriend with him and I was with Pete.
“He was trying to pull my stylist when his girlfriend was standing with her, so that says a lot to me.” The truth always comes out in the end.’
After Scotland Yard launched a criminal investigation into Russell Brand, Thames Valley Police confirmed they were investigating “information relating to allegations of harassment and stalking” made by a woman.

Allegations: Russell has faced serious allegations from a number of women. He was accused of one count of rape and one count of sexual assault, and then new allegations emerged. He denied the allegations
In the latest claim, the Mail has seen police logs which claim the woman accused him of being a ‘sexual predator’.
She lived near Brand and befriended him in 2015, before both accused the other of harassment.
Police are understood to have previously investigated her claims and dismissed them. Now the police officers are reviewing the case.
Thames Valley Police said on Saturday it had been contacted by a woman last week “with new information relating to allegations of harassment and stalking”.
It added: ‘This information is being investigated, as such it would not be appropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation.’

Thames Valley Police cover Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, where Brand β now a self-styled lifestyle and political guru β lives with his family.
He moved to the area in 2015 and bought The Crown pub in the nearby village of Pishill in 2020.
The pub was “closed” when the allegations surfaced, with locals reporting that the place was sealed off with a fence and had security inside and out.
Brand was forced to remove the fence when South Oxfordshire County Council said it was “unauthorised” and launched a planning enforcement inquiry.
