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

Police have confirmed they told Russell Brand to leave his ex-girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith's house in 2014 after she claimed a violent incident took place.

Thames Valley Police said officers were contacted by an alleged victim and went to an address in Oxfordshire on 25 July 2014 but no arrests were made.

They listened to her concerns and gave support, and "also ensured the victim's partner left the address, as per the victim's wishes", the police added in a statement on Wednesday.

Goldsmith, who dated Brand for about a year, wrote on X on Monday that she "had to call the police to have him removed from my house in 2014 during a violent incident" but chose not to press charges.
