  1. Jemima Goldsmith accuses Russell Brand of violence and abuse

    Jemima Goldsmith has publicly accused her former partner Russell Brand of physical violence, coercive control and abuse during their relationship. She says she called police to remove him from her home during a violent incident in 2014. The allegations come hours after Brand was sentenced for rape in a separate case. Goldsmith, who dated Brand in 2013-2014, says she remained silent for years because of a gagging order Brand obtained in 2015.

    Why it matters

    Brand was recently convicted and sentenced for rape, intensifying scrutiny of his past conduct. Goldsmith's decision to speak now breaks a decade-long legal restriction that prevented her from discussing the relationship. Her status as a prominent journalist and former wife of Imran Khan adds weight to the allegations. The 2015 injunction raises questions about the use of legal tools to silence accusers.
