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.
Brand was jailed for 10-and-a-half years for rape and sexual assault on Monday.
In her post, 52-year-old Goldsmith said she was "in awe of the courageous women who came forward at Brand's trial" and was "glad and relieved" he had "finally faced justice".
She wrote: "I have had my own personal experience of his violence, coercive control and abuse.
"I had to call the police to have him removed from my house in 2014 during a violent incident."
The Press Association reported that Goldsmith had asked for Brand to leave the property, her wish was then communicated to him by police, and he agreed to leave the house.
