Overview

• Nowacki says he had no choice but to sue for defamation and malicious falsehood, denying the racism allegations and instructing law firm Brandsmiths.
• He posted a TikTok outlining a timeline that links Adebayo’s posts to his July collaboration with influencer Brianna Balram, which he argues triggered the allegations.
• Adebayo has reiterated claims he called her skin “dirty” and accused his mother of racially insensitive remarks, and she has shared alleged WhatsApp messages referencing an apology.
• Nowacki disputes her account, says he never used language tied to slavery or racial inferiority, and accuses her of twisting events, including the claim he called her “Sofia.”
• Both sides say they have legal representation; reports indicate particulars of claim have been drafted with the case expected to proceed in the High Court, and some reports suggest his mother may be named.
