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.
Seyi Omooba, who was fired from the 2019 West End revival of
The Color Purple when past homophobic remarks resurfaced, had a rule against playing gay roles and didn t understand that the main character was in a same-sex relationship, a U.K. court heard this week.
Omooba was initially cast to play the lead role of Celie, who falls in love with another woman, Shug Avery, in the musical play. When anti-LGBTQ+ social media posts and comments she made in 2014 became public, she was fired from the role. “I do not believe homosexuality is right, though the law of this land has made it legal,” she wrote on her Facebook page, adding that she did “not believe you can be born gay.” She has now sued the theater and her former agents for religious discrimination and breach of contract.
