Jeremy Vine had sued Joey Barton for libel and harassment over nine online posts, including where he called the BBC Radio 2 presenter a 'big bike nonce' and a 'pedo defender' on X.
Jeremy Vine has been given an apology in court on behalf of Joey Barton after their High Court libel battle was settled.
Mr de Wilde continued: 'He has made clear that he does not in fact believe that the claimant has a sexual interest in children, and wishes to set the record straight'. Lawyers for Vine said a social media post by Barton this morning, which included a video of the broadcaster in a pair of high heels accompanied by emojis 'negates' his apology
Vine had vowed that two apologies put on social media by Barton earlier this year would not be the final outcome in their libel case. 'After five defamatory tweets, my lawyer offered Barton a chance to settle: pay £75k, plus my costs, and make an apology. 'A number of other steps - including statements made in Court by way of apology - are still to be taken, and Barton has agreed to pay my legal costs of all of the claims.'
This led to Mr Barton launching a 'calculated and sustained attack on Mr Vine' in early January this year, the court heard.
