Jemima Goldsmith, a British TV producer and former partner of Russell Brand, has publicly accused him of "violence, coercive control and abuse" during their relationship in 2013-14. Her allegations were shared on social media on November 9, following Brand's sentencing to 10 years and six months in prison for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Goldsmith stated she once called the police to remove Brand from her home during a violent incident in 2014 but chose not to press charges at the time to protect her teenage children from media attention. She expressed support for the women who testified against Brand and clarified her past interactions involving legal orders against a masseuse who had previously made claims against him.
