Chris Gayle wants to sell the story of his defamation case for $420,000

West Indies cricketer promises tell-all interview, saying what went on behind the scenes of Fairfax trial was ‘like a movie’

Gayle is seeking to sell details of the recent court case to the highest bidder, with a promise to potential buyers that what went on behind the scenes was “like a movie”.

Gayle won his case against Fairfax, which published a series of articles in 2016 alleging he exposed his penis to a masseuse, at the supreme court in Sydney last month.

In a series of posts on Twitter, the 38-year-old former Test captain suggested there was an agenda against him before and after the court appearance, and a move to get him banned from cricket.

“I have a very interested successful story to tell,” he wrote. “It can be an exclusive 60mins interview or y’all just have to wait on my next book!

“It’s about what transpired in court and behind the scenes in Australia, how they went to bigger heads to get me ban.

“How they want to use me as a scapegoat over a interview – I’ll tell you what I do every day after court, believe me, when I break this down to y’all it will be like a movie.”

Gayle added that there would be “no holding back” and that he had “so much to say”.

Guyana Diaspora Forum

We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide.  Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK.  Our Blog and Newsletter  would not only carry  articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese  We hope that you like our selections.

It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana.  This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000.  Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s.  The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating.  We hope this changes, and soon.

Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren.  The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly.  This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country.  Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.

This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines.  As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
