‘Drunk’ Real Housewives star Dawn Ward ‘shouted racist abuse at Jewish brothers, slapped one and called him “fat p****”‘
REAL Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward hurled racist abuse at two Jewish brothers and slapped one in a drunken rage, a court heard.
The Wag, who is married to ex-Premier League footballer Ashley Ward, allegedly tore into Jake Jacobs and Sam Jacobs at London's Euston station.
Ward, 48, allegedly yelled: "You Jewish c***. Why are you people always complaining? You fat p***k."
The businesswoman, whose daughter Taylor is married to Man City star Riyad Mahrez, was also allegedly found with cocaine in a cigarette packet.
Ward, who is on trial today at Inner London Crown Court sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice, denies racially aggravated intentional harassment and possession of cocaine.
The court was told she had been "drinking heavily" on October 29, 2019, when the alleged racially-motivated attack unfolded.

Both brothers were querying why the trains were delayed when they were approached by Ward, who asked: "Why do you lot always complain", it was said.
Gregory Wedge, prosecuting, said: "At the time you might think why, but she was we now know was referring to their Jewish faith.
“They pretty much ignored it, but the altercation became violent, she became violent and called Jake a fat c*** and a Jewish p***k or words to that effect.
“During this argument or heated conversation, she slaps Jake Jacobs across the face.
“Both of them were upset by this incident and called the police and they subsequently arrested Mrs Ward.”

The court heard how Ward claimed the conversation was "friendly" and said the slap was a "playful tap on the face".
She also denied using the "racially aggravated words".
Property developer Jake Jacobs told the court Ward was stood just "centimetres" from him when she allegedly hurled abuse.
He said he realised "later down the line" what the Wag meant by her "you lot" comment and that it was related to his religion.
Mr Jacobs added: "She came across if she had been out, I could smell alcohol, I didn’t know why I was being approached like that, out of the blue, quite an aggressive sort of way.
“She didn’t want to go away; she was attached to staying near us.
“She was being quite scary and abusive, I just felt I had a long day at work
“I had been started on for absolutely no reason, it made me feel really upset."
'CONFUSED'
Mr Jacobs told jurors Ward then called his brother "short" and branded him a "Jewish c***" before telling his girlfriend she was a "little disease".
He said he asked what his religion had to do with anything and claimed Ward then slapped him in the face "out of nowhere".
Mr Jacobs added: "For a long time, it made me really sad, because what my parents and grandparents have gone through its brought it all back
“I couldn’t believe in this current climate; I was naïve to think it doesn’t happen.
“But when it happens to you it really affected me for a long period of time.
“I was confused about this, there was nothing at all it was completely unprovoked, there was nothing said, we just wanted to go home.”
Ward shot to fame after starring in the hit reality tv show The Real Housewives of Cheshire.
Ward revealed she was leaving the show at the end of 2019 after a seven year stint.
The interior designer and husband Ashley quit Cheshire last year to move to Dubai.
