Russell Brand could face more allegations after reports from America suggested a US woman is set to make accusations against the 51-year-old.

The US woman has spoken to lawyers over the allegations, a report by Page Six claimed. On Tuesday (November 10), it said the woman claims that she was victimised by Brand and is in communication with the high-profile attorney Gloria Allred.

Brand is just days into a 10-and-a-half year prison sentence for raping a fan and committing three sexual assaults against TV and radio workers in the early 2000s. As he was jailed at Southwark Crown Court, he was slammed for his "staggering arrogance" by a judge.

Brand committed his crimes in the UK. However, in 2010 he married pop star Katy Perry and moved to the US, and although they divorced after 14 months, Brand owned properties in LA during his Hollywood movie career, reports The Mirror US.

In 2024, he moved his family, wife Laura Brand and their three children, from rural Oxfordshire in the UK to Florida's Gulf Coast on Scenic Highway 30A. His wife was in court when Brand was sentenced. He mouthed "we'll be OK" to her when he was taken away by court officers.

The news comes after the Met Police said it was assessing new information about potential criminal allegations against Brand from "several people".

A spokesman said: "Several people have contacted the investigation team during and since the trial to provide information or report a potential criminal allegation. Detectives are assessing this information as part of their ongoing enquiries."

Judge Joel Bennathan denounced Brand's "casual and arrogant disregard" for any woman who said no to him, and castigated him for the series of lies he told in testimony denying assaults that dated to 2004.

"About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous," Bennathan said. "You were clever - and in many people's eyes, funny and charismatic.
