K.J. Yossman Former GB News anchor Andrew Neil has filed a defamation lawsuit against U.S. businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri in London’s High Court.The suit, officially filed on Wednesday, is believed to stem from a Twitter conflict between the two in Dec.
2021 when Arcuri called the veteran journalist a “pedo” in a now deleted tweet and suggested he was an acquaintance of pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.The conflict reportedly began following an online disagreement about the COVID-19 vaccine, which Arcuri has decried as an “experimental neurotoxin” on social media.In a widely reported tweet, which has since been deleted, Arcuri tagged Neil’s Twitter handle and accused him of being a “paid for pharma puppet” and “on the pedo elite train” alongside a photograph purporting to show Epstein’s address book with Neil’s name in it.
