Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward has been cleared of racially abusing two Jewish men at London Euston after "too many glasses of wine," and possession of cocaine.
The 48-year-old, who is married to ex-Premier League footballer Ashley Ward, was accused of hurling abuse at brothers Jake and Sam Jacobs at the train station back in October 2019. The Jacob brothers were said to be asking customer services why trains were delayed when the reality star drunkenly approached them allegedly saying: "Why do you lot always complain".
Mrs Ward was claimed to have then shouted "Jewish c***”. The reality star admitted having "too many glasses of wine" at the Ritz with her agent before she arrived at Euston to take the train home.

She was also said to have called the pair "Jewish c****" and said Samantha Eisner, one of the brothers' girlfriends, was a "little disease". Ward denied the charges and was acquitted by the jury of two counts of racially aggravated harassment and one count of possession of cocaine today (March 25).
The reality star cried as the verdict was announced. She said to the jury: "Thank you. Thank you so much, thank you from the bottom of my heart."
During the trial at Inner London Crown Court, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice, Mrs Ward denied she was racist and said she saw "people as people". She tearfully told a courtroom she "doesn't see race," telling jurors she had "no idea" the two men accusing her of anti-Semitism were Jewish. She sobbed as she claimed online trolls have targeted her daughters in the wake of the court case.
Her barrister Lisa Judge suggested the group had made up the allegations
