It follows the under-fire ex-Manchester City player threatened Gary Neville and likened pundits Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward to serial killers.
The post, on X, formerly Twitter, made several sexist accusations at unnamed women pundits.
“We all know whose marriages you have violated. What info you got from the pillow talk to get ahead…”
“I also, don’t blame you using your sexuality to get an advantage. It’s a big tool and everyone should use all there tools wisely in the game of life.”
In the post, Barton appeared to know he was crossing a line that could see him face serious repercussions.
“Don’t take me for a fool. Lawyer up. Sue me. Get me cancelled. Pressure my employer’s, my sponsors.
“I’ve got plenty to fight you back with. I’ve deeper pockets than most.
The comments mark another step in a weeks-long tirade that has seen Barton widely called out.
He had previously claimed women are not qualified to talk about the men’s game.
On Friday morning Barton, 41, took aim at pundits Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, who he called “the Fred and Rose West of football”.
Fred and Rose West were two of Britain’s worst serial killers.
ITV Sport hit back at the ex-pro in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, that Neville responded to.
The ITV post said: “For Joey Barton, an ex-professional player with a significant social media presence, to target two of our pundits, Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, with such vindictive remarks based on gender and to invoke the names of serial killers in doing so is clearly contemptible and shameful on his part.
Gary Neville backed the statement of ITV, his former employer, in a post on X.
Barton then threatened Neville saying he would “get emptied”.
Barton is one of football’s most controversial characters, and served time in prison in 2008 for assault.
He was sacked as Bristol Rovers manager in October, weeks after fans slammed him for “throwing his own player under the bus.”
