Drag Race France star Nicky Doll sues Laurence Fox over insults during Olympic Games opening ceremony
Senior International Film Correspondent
French drag queen and TV presenter Nicky Doll is suing Laurence Fox for defamation over paedophile comments he made about drag artists scheduled to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The action comes just three months after British actor Fox, now better known as a controversial political activist and TV presenter, was ordered to pay £180,000 ($220,000) in damages to former RuPaul's Drag Race UK contestant Crystal (Colin Seymour) and charity director Simon Blake after he called them "paedophiles" on social media.
