The actor-turned-politician called two people 'paedophiles' in an exchange about a decision by Sainsbury’s to mark Black History Month
Laurence Fox has been ordered to pay a total of £180,000 in damages to two people he referred to as paedophiles on social media after losing a High Court libel battle. The actor-turned-politician was successfully sued by former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal over a row on Twitter , now known as X.
She said: “By calling Mr Blake and Mr Seymour paedophiles, Mr Fox subjected them to a wholly undeserved public ordeal. It was a gross, groundless and indefensible libel, with distressing and harmful real-world consequences for them.” At a hearing in March, Lorna Skinner KC, for Mr Blake and Mr Seymour, had said the pair should receive “at least six-figure sums” from Mr Fox, calling a suggestion the pair should only receive a “modest” award “nonsense”.
Mrs Justice Collins Rice declined to make an order requiring Mr Fox to publish a summary of the judge’s decision on his X account. During the hearing in March, Mr Green had said there was no need for the Lewis actor to publicise the ruling decision on his social media. Mr Green added: “The remarks were quickly retracted and apologised for, and at the very least it was clear to the public at large at an early stage that the allegation was baseless.”
