Rachel Riley

TV presenter

British actress Tracy Ann Oberman is famous for her role as Chrissie Watts on the renowned BBC series Eastenders, one of the longest running soap operas on British television. An accomplished author and newspaper columnist, she has written several radio plays for the BBC and contributes to the Guardian newspaper. Also an outspoken critic of the antisemitism that has plagued the British Labour Party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, Oberman resigned from the party in 2017. In February of this year, Oberman and fellow J-100 list member Rachel Riley launched a joint legal action against more than 60 Twitter accounts that showered them with anti-Jewish invective for challenging Labour’s antisemitism.
