Laurence Fox's Life 'Destroyed' by Racism Allegations, Court Told

Actor-turned-politician embroiled in libel case over racism and paedophilia allegations, with a decision expected at a later date.

Laurence Fox, actor-turned-politician, is in a libel case over allegations of racism and his counter-allegations of paedophilia against his accusers.
Fox claims his life was 'destroyed' by the allegations, resulting in a significant drop in income, loss of his acting agent, and inability to secure a mortgage.
The dispute began after Fox called for a boycott of Sainsbury's for its celebration of Black History Month, leading to him being labeled a 'racist' by drag artist Crystal, ex-Stonewall trustee Simon Blake, and actress Nicola Thorp.
Fox, denying the racism allegations, counter-sued the trio after he labeled them 'paedophiles' in response to their accusations.
The trial is ongoing and a decision is expected at a later date.
