Countdown presenter Rachel Riley has won £50,000 in libel damages from a blogger who called her a 'serial abuser' who bullied a teenager, over an anti-semitism dispute
A judge previously found that Mr Sivier's article would be read as claiming Ms Riley "engaged upon, supported and encouraged a campaign of online abuse and harassment of a 16-year-old girl".He defended himself by arguing he had a "reasonable belief" that it was in the public interest to publish the claims in the article.
Mrs Justice Steyn said the blogger did not include any references to Ms Riley's denial of the allegation that she had bullied or encouraged the bullying of the 16-year-old and did not give the television presenter a chance to comment. "Ms Riley expressed the point that she found it hurtful to be accused of lying and encouraging a smear campaign in restrained and mild terms."
