Drag artist Crystal (left, inset right with Simon Blake and Nicola Thorp) was sitting at home on a normal Sunday evening in 2020 when a text appeared on their phone. 'I think someone's just called you a paedophile on Twitter ,' the message read. Crystal, real name Colin Seymour, looked - and found an endless stream of reactions, messages and comments, all instigated by disgraced actor-turned GB News presenter Laurence Fox (right). They spent the next three years, alongside former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake, fighting the baseless allegation in court, finally winning a £90,000 libel settlement each from Fox on Thursday, with a judge ruling the accusation's effects were 'distinctively homophobic'. Now they have told MailOnline how just one word from Fox threatened their entire career. 'I was really nervous,' Crystal told MailOnline. 'The fact that I'm gay made me worried people would be more likely to believe it. I had no idea what it could become.' The drag artist, who was featured in the first series of Drag Race UK, was initially overwhelmed by 'how mental' their social media became - swarming with comments from trolls who repeated the accusation, supporters defending them, and everything in between.

Last month, she ordered the star, 46, to pay £90,000 to each party - but he has vowed to appeal (inset). Crystal says he has been vindicated and has spoken of his pride at pursuing the case against Reclaim Party founder Fox because the term 'paedophile' had been weaponised as a common slur against LGBTQ+ people.

In Thursday's ruling, the judge said Mr Fox should pay Mr Blake and Mr Seymour £90,000 each in damages and slammed him for trying to 'attach blame and discredit' the pair during litigation. Shortly after the verdict was announced, Mr Fox called the result 'so surreal it's almost funny' in a bizarre social media post in which he also claimed: 'Lady justice ain't blind. She's got both eyes wide open.' He wrote: 'None of the claimants could provide a single witness in court to support the claim that they had suffered any harm. You get the same wonga if you lose a leg at work. 'So surreal it's almost funny. Lady justice ain't blind. She's got both eyes wide open. Will be appealing.'
