A REAL Housewives of Cheshire star called the granddaughter of an Auschwitz survivor a “f***ing disease” in a shocking racist rant, a court heard today.
Dawn Ward, 48, who is married to ex-Premier League footballer Ashley Ward, allegedly shouted “Jewish c***s” at Samantha Eisner’s group at Euston railway station back in 2019.
Ms Eisner, Jake Jacobs and his brother Sam Jacobs had asked why the trains had been delayed, jurors heard, prompting Ward to say “Why do you lot always complain?”
Ward allegedly yelled “Jewish c***” and “you fat pr**k” before slapping Mr Jacobs, 26, across the face, Inner London Crown Court, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice, was told.
Ms Eisner told the court today: “She said to the boys ‘You Jewish c***s’, she then continued to say to me that I was a little disease.
“We didn’t have much of a response, we were shocked, we were upset, I was really, really upset by the whole thing.

The reality star was found to have cocaine in a cigarette packet, jurors have heard.

“A random person, no idea who this person is.”

“She said: ‘Shut up, you f***ing disease’.”
“It was a lot of horrible abuse directed at all three of us.”

Sam said Ward was slurring her words and they could “tell she was intoxicated”.
And he said she “kept trying to explain that she is not racist”.
He added: “It made me feel very upset.
“I’m a Jewish person and proud of it and in today’s society I do not expect these comments to be spoken about any religion.”
Ward, of Warford Hall, Cheshire, wearing a cream-coloured patterned shirt and tan trousers, sat at the back of the courtroom next to her husband, who played for Derby County and Barnsley in the Premier League in the 90s.
