Context:
Eni Aluko is a former professional women's football player turned commentator. Here's a sample of her work:
Joey Barton is a former professional men's football player turned Twitter CHUD (see my previous post for his antics).
A couple of weeks ago, Joey tweeted comparing Eni to a serial killer, so now she's suing him and has fled the country (aka gone on holiday).
For some reason, not everyone thinks her leaving is bad news:

I actually have no idea. I'd guess she's going for a sexism angle since he's saying foids shouldn't commentate men's sports, not just that she specifically is shit at her job, but it's not illegal to be sexist.
Malicious Communications would be a criminal matter, and afaik would only apply if he'd sent something to her directly. The Equality Act only applies to employers, public authorities, etc. It also can't be defamation because what he's saying is true.
