Joey Barton kicked his wife in the head in a drunken row at their London home
Joey Barton received a suspended 12-week prison sentence for assaulting his wife, Georgia Barton, at their London home in June 2021. The judge found him guilty of kicking her in the head, causing injury, despite Mrs. Barton initially alleging the assault in a 999 call, then later retracting the allegation and defending her husband in court. The judge rejected Mrs. Barton's revised account and deemed both Bartons to have lied. Barton denies the assault and plans to appeal. He has prior convictions for affray and assault.
