Jemima Khan releases ‘bombshell’ statement about her ex-boyfriend Russell Brand

Jemima Khan says she called police to have Russell Brand removed from her home during a violent incident in 2014. Channel 4 News reports the account from a public statement she released on X following her former partner's trial.

"I have had my own personal experience of his violence, coercive control and abuse," Khan wrote in the statement read by the presenter. She described that period of her life as having a lasting impact.

Her statement also addresses reports about an injunction involving a masseuse, Szilvia Berki, who made an allegation of assault against Brand at Khan's home. According to Channel 4's report, Khan says she booked Berki to give Brand a massage and describes the subsequent court order as an anti-harassment injunction. She responds to accusations that she helped silence Berki, making the legal restriction a separate focus of the report alongside her own experience.

The statement adds Khan's account to the sentencing coverage: in a separate report, Channel 4 says Brand received ten years and six months in prison for rape and sexual assault.

Khan says she is glad and relieved that Brand has faced justice and expresses admiration for the women who came forward at his trial.
