Our client Lady Portia Di’Monte secures substantial settlement and public apology from TalkTV following defamation claim arising from drag queen story telling event. Our
@vichaddock acts.
On 5 August 2025, during a broadcast of The Political Asylum and in posts on our X account, we published an unfounded allegation about Marcus Hunter-Neill, a drag performer known as Lady Portia Di'Monte. The publication related to his participation in a Drag Queen Storytime event at Holywood Arches Library in Belfast. We retract this allegation which we accept was without basis and apologise to Mr Hunter-Neill for the harm caused.
