Looks like there’s been another twist in the Joey Barton v Eni Aluko saga. After going on holiday and taking a break from social media to get away from Barton and his followers, Eni Aluko returned to the platform this week to poke fun at her arch nemesis for starting a GoFundMe to help with his legal costs, and also threatened to leak DMs where she claims Barton has been ‘kissing her black a*se for years”…
Obviously it was only a matter of time before Joey Barton fired back, and naturally, he added a little dig about the size of Eni Aluko’s forehead in there plus a reference to Jeremy Vine, who is of course suing Joey Barton for calling him a ‘bike nonce’ on Twitter…
Oh dear. How very childish from both sides. Obviously Eni Aluko absolute HAS TO leak the DMs now (I’m actually shocked she hasn’t done it already), as it would make Joey Barton look pretty foolish if he’s been kissing her bum for all these years only to turn into her #1 hater overnight and embark on a crusade to ruin her career. I guess we’ll have to read the DMs for ourselves before we can determine whether Barton was just being ‘nice’ (as he claims) or whether the DMs completely contradict his recent attitude toward her.
In any case, it seems that this beef is far from over. Gotta be pretty stressful from Joey Barton having two very public lawsuits filed against him at the same time, both from people he’s been incessantly talking sh*t about online.
From the looks of that Tweet though, he’s sounding pretty confident. Although I guess it helps that his followers have raised over £11,000 (!) for his legal costs already. Are there really that many Joey Barton diehards out there? Or do people just despise Jeremy Vine and Eni Aluko that much?
For Joey Barton’s argument that he’s only attacking Eni Aluko because he cares about women’s mental health, click HERE. Wonder if that will hold up in court.
