Police address 'violent incident' claim against Russell Brand made by Jemima Goldsmith
Police said they attended Jemima Goldsmith’s home after she reported a violent incident and ensured Russell Brand left at her request.
- On Monday, Jemima Goldsmith revealed on X that she called police to remove Russell Brand from her Oxfordshire home during a "violent incident" in 2014. Thames Valley Police confirmed officers attended July 25, 2014, and ensured Brand left the address, making no arrests.
- Goldsmith, who dated Brand around 2014, chose not to press charges to protect her teenage children from intense press attention. She has neither seen nor spoken to Brand since that period.
- Following Brand's 10-and-a-half-year prison sentence on Monday for rape and sexual assault, Goldsmith wrote she was "in awe of the courageous women who came forward" during the trial. The timing of her disclosure linked the 2014 incident to his recent conviction.
- Thames Valley Police confirmed they acted "as per the victim's wishes" by asking Brand to leave the address. Goldsmith added she assisted journalists investigating Brand and was willing to testify had they faced legal action.
- While the 2014 encounter remains separate from Brand's recent criminal conviction, Goldsmith described it as a "difficult period in my life which has had a lasting impact" involving coercive control and abuse. Her disclosure underscores a broader pattern authorities are examining.
