Gayle wins defamation case against Fairfax media
by Dwight Fraser October 30th, 2017
West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle has won his defamation case against Fairfax Media, which published articles claiming he exposed himself to a female masseuse two years ago.
Gayle and his supporters congratulated each other in court as the jury of four announced their unanimous verdict after deliberating for two hours at Sydney’s King Street court complex.
The star all-rounder sued the company after it published a series of articles claiming he had exposed himself to a woman working “around” the West Indies team in Sydney in 2015.
The woman, team masseuse Leanne Russell, stood by the allegations in her evidence to the court but Gayle insisted it never happened.
It is unclear how much money the cricketer will seek in compensation.
Outside court, Fairfax Media’s lawyer Matthew Collins QC said he was “shocked and disappointed” at the decision.
“It will cost the company a lot of money unless we can reverse it on appeal,” he said.
In a statement, a Fairfax Media spokesperson said the company was “seriously considering its appeal rights” after a failed bid to get the jury discharged on Friday.
“Fairfax Media is concerned with the conduct of the trial,” the spokesperson said.
During the hearing, Ms Russell told the court that Gayle lowered his towel, partially exposing himself , in the changerooms at Sydney’s Drummoyne Oval during a training session in February 2015.
She said she was “very upset” and cried uncontrollably after leaving the room.
Ms Russell said she contacted The Age newspaper last year because she was angered by a live TV interview in which Gayle told a reporter; Don’t blush Baby
