The former footballer was accused of 'crossing the line' today by the BBC presenter's lawyers after posting a video of him wearing high heels and a series of emojis including a bicycle and a rainbow.
Joey Barton has been warned he could face prison if he keeps 'harassing' Jeremy Vine after making another social media post about the broadcaster.
At the High Court on Friday, Gervase de Wilde, representing Vine, who was present in court, said in an agreed statement that Barton now recognises that he made a 'very serious' and 'untrue' allegation. But Mr de Wilde later asked a High Court judge to warn Barton about the risk of contempt of court, which can be punished with up to two years in prison, after the latest post.
Mr de Wilde told the hearing that the post 'negates the vindication of a statement' being read, adding: 'He is undermining the settlement he has reached with Mr Vine and further infringing his rights.' 'These are all serious commitments he has given to the court and any breach of them is potentially punishable as a contempt of court.'
Jeremy Vine had said that Joey Barton agreeing to pay him £75,000 in damages would not be the final outcome in their libel case On top of this Barton then proceed to write more defamatory tweets to his followers about Vine, including releasing his home address, meaning that he will likely have to pay more in damages and that further steps - including apologies in court - are due to be taken.
He continued: 'When I then took my case to the High Court, a judge ruled that ten of the tweets I complained of were defamatory. This led to Mr Barton launching a 'calculated and sustained attack on Mr Vine' in early January this year, the court heard.
