A devout Christian actress is suing a theatre and her agents for £128,000 after she was dropped following an alleged homophobic post on Facebook. Seyi Omooba, 25, is claiming claiming religious discrimination and a breach of contract against the Leicester Curve Theatre and her former managers Global Artists Agency. She was appealing virtually at a Central London Employment Tribunal represented by the Christian Legal Centre. It follows her firing from the adaptation of the Alice Walker novel, The Colour Purple, just a day after she was cast as the lead character of Celie in 2019. It came after another actor challenged her over a 2014 Facebook post where she said she 'did not believe homosexuality is right'.
