Metro53 - London (Web Desk): Jemima Goldsmith, the former wife of PTI founder Imran Khan, has accused well-known British comedian, actor, TV host, and author Russell Brand of violence, coercion, and abuse.
In her statement, she revealed that during a violent incident in 2014, she had to call the police to have Russell Brand removed from her house. She added that she remained silent at the time and chose not to pursue legal action for the sake of her children, and has had no contact with Brand for over a decade.
Jemima Goldsmith also praised the bravery of the women who came forward as victims in the sexual exploitation case against Brand.
In her statement, Jemima Goldsmith also detailed the background behind a court harassment injunction obtained against therapist Sylvia Burki.
She alleged that Burki had sent her anti-Semitic messages, death threats, and hateful emails, targeting her children, family, office, journalists, and even UNICEF.
According to Jemima, Burki also leveled baseless accusations involving kidnapping, bribing the police, and buying off a judge. She noted that the High Court deemed Burki's harassment campaign cruel and unacceptable, making the injunction permanent, though Jemima is open to modifying the court order.
Jemima disclosed that she fears the harassment might resume, while expressing satisfaction that Russell Brand is finally facing justice. Jemima Goldsmith and Russell Brand shared a personal relationship in the past
