Jemima Goldsmith, an ex-girlfriend of entertainer Russell Brand, has publicly accused him of violence and coercive control during their relationship.

Goldsmith, who dated Brand for approximately one year around 2014, shared her experiences in a statement on social media following Brand's sentencing for sexual assault and rape.

She alleged that in 2014, she had to call the police to remove Brand from her home during a violent incident. However, she chose not to press charges at the time, citing concerns about the impact on her then-teenage children.

Goldsmith expressed solidarity with the women who testified against Brand, stating she was "glad and relieved he had finally faced justice." Brand was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison on Monday after being convicted of rape and sexual assault.

In her statement, Goldsmith noted that while her own pain "pales in comparison to what the women have testified in court have suffered," the period with Brand had a lasting impact on her life. She revealed she had not seen or spoken to Brand since 2014 but claimed to have assisted journalists investigating the allegations and would have testified to his abusiveness if they had faced legal action.

Goldsmith also addressed reports of an injunction obtained by her and Brand in October 2015. This injunction aimed to prevent a woman named Szilvia Berki from harassing them, including by making allegations of assault by Brand at Goldsmith's home in 2014. Goldsmith stated that Berki had visited her house for a massage appointment with Brand, which did not occur. She also mentioned that Berki later told police Brand had pushed her and that Goldsmith's dog had attacked her, but the police found no case to answer after reviewing statements and CCTV footage. Goldsmith accused Berki of subsequently sending threatening and antisemitic messages and posting false allegations about her online.

Goldsmith, a TV producer, is also known as the former wife of ex-Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and the daughter of the late billionaire Sir James Goldsmith.

Brand, 51, was convicted of raping one woman at his home in 2009 and three counts of sexual assault against three other women. The judge at his sentencing hearing commented on Brand's "casual arrogant disregard to any woman's right to say no to you," suggesting his fame led him to believe he could act as he pleased.
