The war of gamblers’ wives comes to an end (for the time being): Coleen Rooney has won the defamation lawsuit against Rebekah Vardy in court in London. Vardy could face around £3million in legal fees from both sides. The judge in charge ruled that Vardy leaked stories about Coleen Rooney to the press.
On her Instagram and Twitter profile in October 2019, Coleen Rooney accused her actual girlfriend Rebekah Vardy of betraying and betraying her. For a long time she suspected that someone from her circle of friends would pass on details from her private Instagram stories to the British newspaper “The Sun” and therefore considered a strategy to convict the traitor. Under British law, Rooney, nicknamed “Wagatha Christie” because of her detective work, had to prove her allegations in court.
“I blocked everyone from seeing my Instagram stories except for one account,” she wrote. “I’ve been posting a bunch of fake stories over the past five months to see if they would make their way onto The Sun. And you know what? They did!” explained Wayne Rooney’s wife. “I’ve taken and saved screenshots of all of the stories clearly showing that only one person saw them. It’s…Rebekah Vardy’s account.” Vardy has vehemently denied the allegations, reiterating that she did not betray Rooney. She also said she and her family had been threatened by Rooney after the posting.
Vardy’s attorney said his client had no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit.
The appearances of both “WAGs” in court (stands for “Wives and Girlfriends”, the name of English players’ wives) did not go unnoticed. Both are said to have sold their stories and were accompanied by cameras. Dressed in designer clothes, they walked into the courthouse for several days. Vardy testified on the witness stand that she suffered both physically and mentally from Rooney’s allegations. Her then unborn baby was even in danger because her body was so battered, she said. Her former girlfriend called her a “school bully”.
