Sharing a lengthy statement on social media, Goldsmith wrote in a post,'' “had to call the police to have him removed from my house in 2014 during a violent incident.”

Along with opening up about her own experience, Goldsmith also addressed the harassment injunction taken out against Szilvia Berki in 2014.

‘’I fully understand the good intentions of those now advocating on her behalf online and agree with their demand for this harassment injunction to be varied, as my lawyer made clear to Berki’s lawyer in December last year. However, the commentary and media reporting this week has presented an untrue narrative, which has opened me up to vile hatred and abuse online,'' she wrote.
