Mone race row heads to court

THE spat between Baroness Bra Michelle Mone and Monaco-based wealth manager Richard LyntonJones is heading to the High Court.

He is appalled by what he claims was a racist attack on him by the lingerie tycoon in the aftermath of a yachting accident in 2019, when she allegedly called him a ‘waste of a man’s white skin’.

Lynton-Jones, 42, who is of Indian heritage, has now started legal proceedings, claiming to be a victim of defamation, libel and slander.

Mone, 50, posted this defiant-looking photo on Instagram last week, and a friend of hers tells me she will vigorously defend any action.

Both parties declined to comment.
