Former TV producer Jemima Goldsmith has accused Russell Brand of violence, coercive control, and abuse during their relationship in 2014. She revealed that she had to call the police to remove him from her home after a violent incident. Goldsmith, who remained silent about the allegations for two years, said she chose not to press charges out of concern for the impact on her teenage children.
She has since distanced herself from Brand and praised the women who testified at his trial, calling them courageous for coming forward with their stories. Goldsmith also addressed recent reports about a 2015 injunction she and Brand obtained against a woman named Szilvia Berki, denying any knowledge of the incident and stating that she would have intervened had she witnessed any abuse.
Brand was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison for rape and sexual assault convictions, which Goldsmith believes was a long-overdue accountability for his actions.
