Actor Laurence Fox ordered to pay six-figure damages to Simon Blake and Crystal for calling them "paedophiles" on Twitter.

Actor Laurence Fox has been told by the High Court to pay "at least six-figure sums" in damages to former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal (Colin Seymour) after calling them "paedophiles" on Twitter. The two sued Fox over an exchange on Twitter in October 2020 about Sainsbury's decision to mark Black History Month. The High Court in London heard that Fox should pay "at least six-figure sums" in damages to both individuals.
