Russell Brand was ordered to leave his ex-girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith's house in 2014 after reports of an assault, police have confirmed.

Thames Valley Police said officers were contacted by the alleged victim on July 25 2014 but no arrests were made following the incident at her Oxfordshire home.

Brand was asked to leave the address "as per the victim's wishes", their statement added.

Goldsmith's account

Goldsmith posted on X on Monday, saying she had personal experience of the rapist comedian's "violence, coercive control and abuse".

Her statement added: "I had to call the police to have him removed from my house in 2014 during a violent incident."

Conviction and sentencing

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.
