“The impugned comments … were made by a career comedian known for this type of humour.
Gabriel choked up Friday as he reacted to the ruling, saying he is ready to move on with his life after years of fighting in the courts.
“I would like to tell him how I felt when I first heard the jokes.
“I was 12 or 13 when I saw those videos,” Gabriel told the tribunal.
The tribunal ruled in Gabriel’s favour in 2016, awarding him $25,000 for moral damages and another $10,000 for punitive damages.
