LAURENCE Fox should pay “at least six-figure sums” in damages to two people he referred to as paedophiles on social media, the High Court has been told.Fox called Blake and the former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant, whose real name is Colin Seymour, “paedophiles” in an exchange about a decision by Sainsbury’s to mark Black History Month in October 2020.
Lorna Skinner KC, for Blake and Seymour, asked for damages for the pair, telling the court: “The peculiar feature of an allegation like this… it is an allegation that somebody does not need to be convinced of the truth of it to shun and avoid a person.” As well as damages, Skinner also asked for an order requiring Fox to publish a summary of the judge’s decision on his Twitter/X account.
He continued: “The rhetorical nature of the comments was made clear within the hour, the defendant had given his first apology within a week the fact that Mr Blake and Mr Seymour succeeded in their claims with a public judgment of the court should already convince any reasonable bystander that the effect is erased.
