EastEnders star Tracy-Ann Oberman pays 'substantial' damages in anti-Semitism case
EastEnders star Tracy-Ann Oberman has issued an apology and paid ‘substantial’ damages to an academic who she falsely accused of anti-Semitism. The actress, who played Chrissie Watts on the BBC One soap, tweeted last year, suggesting that Dr Phillip Proudfoot had a ‘Jew blocklist’ on Twitter. Dr Proudfoot, however, had used a Twitter blockchain, a tool which is often used to deter trolls on the social media platform.
