"Between January and August 2024, Mr Barton published 48 posts relating to Ms Aluko, describing the activity as a deliberately targeted public campaign of vilification. One of the posts included an image in which Aluko's head had been superimposed onto the body of serial killer Rosemary West."
"Barrister Gervase de Wilde, representing Aluko, told the court that Barton had wrongly accused the former England international of attempting to exploit allegations of racism and bullying. De Wilde said that in two specific posts Barton had falsely claimed Aluko had cynically sought to exploit her status as an alleged victim of racism and bullying, while also describing her as a hypocrite."
Eni Aluko, a former England international, successfully sued Joey Barton for libel at the High Court in London. Barton posted false accusations on X claiming Aluko cynically exploited her status as an alleged victim of racism and bullying, and described her as a hypocrite. Between January and August 2024, Barton published 48 posts about Aluko in what was characterized as a deliberately targeted public campaign of vilification. One post included an image with Aluko's head superimposed onto serial killer Rosemary West's body. Barton did not attend the hearing and was in custody facing an assault charge. The court ordered Barton to pay Aluko substantial damages and her legal costs.
