Jemima Goldsmith accuses former partner Russell Brand of abuse

Goldsmith, a television producer who dated Brand in 2013 and 2014, said in a statement on X that she had experienced his “violence, coercive control and abuse”, The Guardian reported.

She said she had called police to have him removed from her house during a violent incident in 2014. She chose not to press charges or speak publicly at the time, she said, because she was worried about the effect of media attention on her then-teenage children.

Goldsmith said she had not seen or spoken to Brand since that period. She described it as a difficult time that had a “lasting impact” and praised the women who testified at his trial.

Brand was sentenced on Monday to 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of rape and sexual assault against four women. He denied the charges and was acquitted of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault.

Us Weekly said it had asked Brand’s lawyer for comment on Goldsmith’s allegations.
