A drag queen who starred on the hit show Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK has instructed lawyers to sue Laurence Fox for defamation following a bizarre online racism row in which he labelled him and others ‘paedophiles’.

Crystal said in a Twitter statement on Tuesday that he would “not stand for racism” or “homophobic defamation” when it is directed at him, adding that accusations of paedophilia is “one of the oldest homophobic tropes”.

His announcement followed a similar one by deputy chair of LGBT charity Stonewall Simon Blake on Monday who said he too would pursue legal action against the Lewis star.

It comes after Fox went into meltdown on social media over Sainsbury’s support for Black History Month.

He accused the supermarket of promoting racial segregation and discrimination in a bizarre tweet.

The actor then dubbed people “paedophiles” after receiving strong condemnation over the comments, seemingly retorting with the accusation every time somebody called him a racist.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
