Russell Brand was asked to leave the Oxfordshire home of his former partner Jemima Goldsmith after police were contacted over an alleged assault, Thames Valley Police have confirmed.
The force said officers were contacted by the alleged victim on July 25, 2014, following an incident at her home. No arrests were made, and Brand was asked to leave the address “as per the victim’s wishes”.
Goldsmith's account of the incident
In a post on X on Monday, Goldsmith said she had personal experience of the comedian’s “violence, coercive control and abuse”. She wrote: “I had to call the police to have him removed from my house in 2014 during a violent incident.”
Brand's conviction and sentence
Brand was jailed for 10-and-a-half years at Southwark Crown Court on Monday after being convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
