Joey Barton Found Guilty of Assaulting Wife in 2021 Incident

The former footballer was convicted of pushing Georgia Barton to the ground and kicking her in the head at their London home.

Joey Barton, 42, was found guilty of assault by Westminster Magistrates’ Court on March 25, 2025.
The assault occurred in June 2021 at the couple's home in Kew, London, while their children were asleep upstairs.
Georgia Barton sustained significant injuries, including a lump on her head described as the size of a golf ball.
Police body-cam footage played a critical role in the conviction, capturing Mrs. Barton’s account of being pushed and kicked.
Barton denied the assault but admitted to a verbal altercation that escalated, which he described as 'agitated.'
