The Color Purple actor fired for homophobia, is appealing a tribunal ruling that led to her being ordered to pay £300,000 in court costs. Extending what has already been a lengthy legal battle, Omooba is contesting her loss in the religious discrimination case she raised following her dismissal from a production of The Color Purple over a homophobic Facebook post. The 26-year-old sued the theatre and her former agency for her full salary as well as vast sums in damages. She lost and now faces paying £313,195 in court fees. But Christian Legal Centre, the legal group that represented Omooba, has confirmed that she will appeal against the ruling.
