Dan Wootton in 2012. The former News of The World journalist Dan Wootton arrives to give evidence to the Leveson Inquiry at The High Court on February 6, 2012 in London, England.
MailOnline previously suspended Wootton’s column this summer, over allegations that he engaged in sexually inappropriate behavior when he worked as a celebrity reporter for Rupert Murdoch’s The Sun. Wootton was accused of using fake identities to trick and bribe male colleagues into sending him sexually compromising images, the Daily Beast said.
The British media watchdog, Ofcom, reported that it had opened an investigation into Wootton’s exchange with Fox, The Guardian said. Ofcom said it had received more than 7,000 complaints in 24 hours, saying GB News may have breached a UK broadcasting code. Wootton’s harsh comeuppance this week no doubt comes as joyous news to Harry and Meghan’s legion of online supporters. They often mention Wootton as one of the reporters who helped drive the Sussexes out of England with negative coverage that the couple said was often racist and misogynistic.
For example, he broke he “tiara-gate” story in late 2018, which suggested that Harry had a tense exchange with the late Queen Elizabeth II over the tiara Meghan would get to wear at her May 2018 wedding,. The online headline of that story read: “The Queen warned Prince Harry over Meghan Markle’s ‘difficult’ behavior after row over bride’s tiara for royal wedding.”
