What Happened

British police have confirmed a call that was made in July 2014 at the home of television producer Jemima Goldsmith. She was dating Russell Brand at the time. Goldsmith said she contacted police during a violent incident. Thames Valley Police confirmed on November 11, 2026 that officers attended the Oxfordshire home after a woman reported that her partner had assaulted her.

Officers spoke with the woman, provided support and made sure her partner left the home at her request, according to the police account reported by Sky News and the Press Association. No one was arrested over that visit. This was not a charge or a conviction from 2014.

Why It Matters

Brand was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison on November 9, 2026 after a jury convicted him of rape and three sexual assaults involving four other women. Goldsmith’s account is separate from those convictions. A confirmed police visit helps establish that the 2014 call happened. It does not mean a court has ruled on every allegation in her account.

Clear dates matter here. The police visit was in 2014. Goldsmith spoke publicly after Brand’s 2026 sentencing. Police confirmed details of the earlier call on November 11. These events should not be described as a new arrest or a fresh guilty verdict.

Go Deeper: What Goldsmith Said

Goldsmith wrote publicly on November 9 that she had experienced violence, coercive control and abuse during the relationship. She said she had chosen not to press charges or speak out at the time because she feared the publicity would affect her children. We are not identifying or discussing those children. She also said she had supported the journalists who investigated allegations about Brand before the 2023 reporting.

The police described the incident in narrower terms. They confirmed their attendance and that they asked Goldsmith’s partner to leave. They did not announce a 2014 charge, identify new evidence from that visit, or say that the matter had resulted in a prosecution. Goldsmith’s account and the police confirmation should each be described for what they are.

What Is Separate From This Report

London’s Metropolitan Police said on November 10 that detectives were assessing new information received during and after Brand’s trial. That is a separate police review. No official statement reviewed for this report connects Goldsmith’s 2014 call to a new charge.

What Happens Next?

We will check for a direct police update, a court filing or a charging decision before reporting another legal change. For now, the verified news is the police confirmation of the earlier call, not a new criminal case. The existing conviction and sentence remain separate, settled court outcomes unless changed by a court.
