## Summary

Jemima Goldsmith has accused her former partner Russell Brand of violence, coercive control and abuse during their relationship, which lasted about a year around 2014. She said she called police to remove him from her home during a violent incident but did not press charges, partly because she feared press attention would affect her teenage children. Her statement followed Brand’s conviction and prison sentence, and she expressed support for the women who testified against him.

Brand was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of raping a woman in 2009 and sexually assaulting three other women. Goldsmith said she had helped journalists investigating allegations against him and would have testified about his behaviour if sued. She also explained that a 2015 injunction involving Brand and a woman who had made allegations about an incident at Goldsmith’s home was sought to stop what she described as harassment; police had earlier found no case to answer over that encounter.
