Eni Aluko struck Joey Barton accusing the former footballer of having harmed his dissemination career with his publications on social networks.
Le Pundit, 38, continues the former Manchester City and Newcastle midfielder for Libel on two articles he published in January from last year on X.
Aluko, who played for Chelsea and made 105 appearances for the lionesses, won the first stage of a defamation complaint of the High Court on the bitter online row.
Barton, 42, made comments that had a defamatory meaning when he accused him of being a “racing card player,” said a judge two weeks ago.
The judge also noted that if the other post had no defamatory meaning, he had a defamatory “sense of innuendo”.
Although he won the first step in the case, which Barton could still appeal, Aluko says that his Punditry career has been damaged.

“I have been broadcasting for 11 years. I’m not new. And in the past 18 months, I have made the least television I have ever made.
“It’s just a fact. It is not a feeling, it is an opinion. It’s a fact. So I think people can draw their own conclusions.
According to the database of Internet commentators, Aluko made 44 appearances of rising in progress in 2023, but this figure fell to 27 last year.
She added: “There is a double standard where there is still a limited quantity of opportunities for women, the broadcasters, both in the male and female game.
“We are still in competition for two or three seats maximum, which includes the presenters.
“What the Joey Batons and some male football fans want is that women leave the television.

“I don’t think I can go out and be free to do what I do. During the first week, I disguised myself and some people think it is exaggerated, but it is really the impact that it had on me, “she added.

“It was defamatory in two respects.

“In a statement, Aluko praised the decision, describing Barton’s publications as” an unjustified attack against my personal and professional identity, my integrity and my family life “.
She continued: “Joey Barton has never rightly indicated that he had a base on which to defend his defamatory statements on me.
“If he does it, I can’t wait to prove my case against him in court.”
In a separate criminal case, Barton is accused of having sent offensive communications to Aluko with the intention of causing distress or anxiety under Malivent Communications Act.
The accusations arise from a series of messages in January of last year, in which he would have compared Aluko and his compatriot Lucy Ward to serial killers Fred and Rose West.
In a follow -up tweet, he would have compared Aluko to Joseph Staline and Pol Pot.
Aluko scored 33 goals for England in 105 appearances before retiring in 2020 and switching to broadcasting.
