Laurence Fox receives apology and 'out-of-court settlement' from Equity after it branded him a 'disgrace'



Laurence Fox has received a payout and apology from actors' union Equity after members were urged to denounce him over his Question Time appearance in January.

The Lewis star was both praised and vilified for criticising the "woke" worldview on the BBC programme.

Criticism came from members of Equity who branded Fox a "disgrace" and called for him to be "unequivocally denounced".

Equity has now issued an apology, and The Telegraph understands the actor has received "out-of-court settlement" from the union.

Members of the union’s Race Equality Committee which initially called for the actor to be denounced online have all resigned in protest at the apology.

They made their plea for declamation following Fox's appearance on Question Time in January (watch the video below), when the actor was labelled a "white privileged male" on air.
