Victoria Thomas Bowen made headlines when she threw a banana-flavoured drink at Nigel Farage while he was addressing a crowd during his general election campaign. The model, who has gained popularity on OnlyFans, was later arrested and jailed for her actions.
On June 4, Farage had just stepped out of the Moon and Starfish Wetherspoon pub in Clacton-on-Sea when Thomas Bowen tossed the drink in his face. This came as a surprise, as the previous day Farage had announced that he would be running as MP for the seat in Essex, despite previously ruling himself out.
During her court appearance in October, Thomas Bowen admitted to assault by beating and criminal damage. She pleaded guilty to causing £17.50 of damage to a jacket belonging to Farage's security officer, James Woolfenden. In her most recent court appearance, she was given a suspended prison sentence of 13 weeks.
Farage expressed his concern over the incident in a witness statement read out in court, even though he was not physically harmed. He stated, "I'm saddened that this has happened at a public campaign. It caused me concern as I have only been going about my job."
During her sentencing, Thomas Bowen wore a badge with a Palestinian flag on it, making a statement about her political views. In her police interview, she revealed that she had learned of Farage's whereabouts through a Facebook post and stated that she did not agree with his political views.
Prosecutor Nishma Shah shared further details from Thomas Bowen's police interview, stating that she acknowledged her actions as an assault and the liquid would have caused damage to Farage's jacket and those of others. However, Thomas Bowen believed that Farage could afford the cleaning costs and did not regret her actions.
Farage was present at the magistrates' court when Thomas Bowen pleaded guilty for her actions. This was not the first time he had been assaulted with a drink during a campaign, as he had previously been soaked by a Five Guys caramel milkshake in 2019. The perpetrator in that case, Paul Crowther, was ordered to pay for Farage's suit-cleaning bill.
