Jemima Goldsmith accuses Russell Brand of violence and abuse

Russell Brand's ex-girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith has accused him of "violence, coercive control and abuse" during their roughly one-year relationship around 2014. In a social media statement, the TV producer alleged she had to call police in 2014 for his removal from her home but chose not to press charges due to concerns about impacting teenage children with press attention. Goldsmith expressed relief that Brand faced justice after being sentenced to ten-and-a-half years in prison earlier Monday following convictions for rape and sexual assault committed between 2009 and 2013.
