Police told Russell Brand to leave Jemima Goldsmith’s house in 2014

Police have confirmed that in 2014, Russell Brand was asked to leave the home of his then-girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith following her report of a violent incident. Thames Valley Police received a call from the alleged victim and responded to an Oxfordshire address on 25 July 2014. Although no arrests were made at the time, officers listened to her concerns, provided support, and ensured Brand left the property in accordance with her wishes.

Jemima Goldsmith, who had been in a relationship with Brand for approximately one year, publicly revealed on social media that she had called the police to remove him during a violent episode in 2014, but she opted not to press charges. She expressed admiration for the women who came forward during Brand’s recent trial, stating she was both “glad and relieved” that he had finally been held accountable for his actions.

In her statement, the 52-year-old Goldsmith described her own experience with Brand’s violent and coercive behavior. She emphasized the personal difficulty she endured during that time, which left a lasting impact, though she acknowledged that her suffering was less severe than that faced by other women who testified. She explained that her decision to remain silent then was influenced by concerns over the media attention it could bring to her teenage children.

Additionally, Goldsmith revealed she had cooperated with journalists who investigated Brand’s abusive behavior and was prepared to testify on the matter if required in court. Beyond her connection to Brand, she is a TV producer and the former wife of Imran Khan, the ex-prime minister of Pakistan. Goldsmith is also the daughter of the late billionaire Sir James Goldsmith and the sister of Zac Goldsmith, a former Conservative government minister
