Tory peer Michelle Mone being sued for £200,000 over racist text claim
12.01.2022 - 02:05 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Tory peer Michelle Mone is being sued for unlimited damages after she allegedly called a financial consultant a “waste of a man’s white skin”.
The 50-year-old millionaire bra tycoon has had a 10-page claim filed against her by Richard Lynton-Jones, who is of Indian heritage, in the High Court in London.
Richard, 42, claims Mone’s actions have caused him “enormous distress, embarrassment and injury to feelings” and is demanding at least £200,000 in aggravated damages.
Their bitter dispute dates back to a 2019 crash involving her husband Doug Barrowman’s yacht in Cannes, when 29-year-old crew member Jake Feldwhere died.
Baroness Mone is said to have later sent the “ racist ” WhatsApp message to Richard and others.
In other messages, she is also accused of calling his then partner “a mental loony,” “mad” and “a nut case bird.”
Her office said: “Baroness Mone is 100 per cent not a racist.”
Mone, who made her fortune through underwear firm Ultimo, was appointed to the Lords by David Cameron in 2015.
