Joey Barton has hit out at Eni Aluko after she revealed she has left the country following the former midfielder's stinging attack.
Aluko claimed she felt 'genuinely scared' for the abuse she has received online and is now abroad.
Barton has grabbed headlines of late for his controversial views on women's pundits.
ITV condemned the former England international earlier this month after he compared Aluko and co-commentator Lucy Ward to serial killers Fred and Rose West.

Barton personally attacked Aluko online with a series of other posts on X.
Aluko revealed on Tuesday evening in a video on Instagram that she had left the UK in an attempt to escape the abuse she had been receiving.
And Barton has now given his response in an X-rated post.
He has accused Aluko of using 'the victim card' and said she is 'dreadful' as a pundit.
Barton wrote on X: "Cry me a f*****g river…
"I was waiting for the victim card to be played.
"Eni, sorry luv, you’re dreadful as a pundit.
"Tone deaf, can’t count and most importantly you know next to nothing about men’s football.
"You should have ran off to a desert island after your ‘Arteta phoning Pep to put a bid’ in nonsense.
"Everyone is laughing at you.
"Not just me."
Responding to a user's post asking if he is happy to learn how Aluko is feeling, Barton replied: "Honestly couldn’t give a solitary f**k mate."
In her video, Aluko revealed she didn't leave her house for much of last week due to being too scared to do so.
She says she has felt 'under threat' from the abuse she has received.
Aluko said: "I've genuinely been scared this week. I didn't leave my house until Friday and I'm now abroad.

"Online abuse has a direct impact on your safety and how you feel and how safe you feel in real life.
"I've felt under threat this week. I've felt like something is going to happen to me.
"And I don't say that for anyone to feel sorry for me - I say that for people to understand the reality and the impact that hate speech has, the impact that racism has, the impact that sexism has, the impact that misogyny has on all of us females in the game, in sports broadcasting."
Aluko admitted that she has also sought legal advice on the matter.
She added: "If you come out and are racist, or sexist or misogynistic and threaten people online, there are laws for that, that govern that behaviour.
"There are consequences for that.
"And over the past week I've taken advice from lawyers and a course of action has now been decided upon."
