Seyi Omooba was sacked from lesbian part at Leicester theatre after homophobic post emerged
An actor who sued a theatre and her former agents after she was sacked when a Facebook post resurfaced has had her claim for religious discrimination, harassment and breach of contract rejected at an employment tribunal.
Seyi Omooba was due to play Celie in a production of The Color Purple at the Curve in Leicester when the post from 2014 was unearthed. In it she said she did not believe homosexuality was “right” or that people could be born gay.
