A Christian actress in the U.K. who was fired from a theater production over an allegedly homophobic Facebook post had her discrimination case heard before the Central London Employment Tribunal on Monday.
Seyi Omooba filed a lawsuit with the employment tribunal seeking $174,618 (£128,000) against Curve Theatre in Leicester and her former agents for religious discrimination and breach of contract after she was fired from the leading role of Celie in a 2019 stage production of Alice Walker s The Color Purple, according to multiplereports.
The 26-year-old devout Christian actress was reportedly offered on an unconditional basis the full payment of her contract, the theater told the Central London Employment Tribunal in a virtual hearing.
