Jemima Goldsmith Says Russell Brand Used 'Violence, Coercive Control and Abuse'

She said the former comedian’s abuse left her fearful for her children and helped spur a harassment injunction against a massage therapist.

  • On Monday, Jemima Goldsmith accused former partner Russell Brand of "violence, coercive control and abuse" following his sentencing to 10 years and six months in prison for rape and sexual assault in London.
  • Goldsmith issued this statement to correct "misleading reports" regarding a 2015 High Court harassment injunction she and Brand obtained against massage therapist Szilvia Berki, which prevented Berki from discussing allegations about a 2014 visit.
  • Berki allegedly launched a campaign of "vicious antisemitic and threatening" abuse against Goldsmith after the 2014 encounter, including calling her a "deeply rotted JEWISH b****" and sending disturbing emails to family and journalists.
  • Revealing her own experience, Goldsmith disclosed she once had to call police to remove Brand from her home during a "violent incident" in 2014, though she opted against charges to protect her children.
  • Declaring she is "glad and relieved" Brand has "finally faced justice," Goldsmith confirmed she has assisted journalists for "several years" and is willing to vary the injunction to allow Berki to contact police.
