Eni Aluko is suing ex-Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton for defamation after he compared her to notorious figures like Rose West, Joseph Stalin, and Pol Pot following criticism of her football commentary. Barton, who previously had to pay Jeremy Vine £75,000 for other defamatory remarks, faces another legal battle over his social media posts. Aluko, a former England star, has filed a new defamation case against Barton, leading to widespread condemnation of his attacks on female footballers and pundits. Barton's offensive comments have triggered online abuse towards Aluko, causing her significant distress and fear, prompting legal actions against him.
