Coleen Rooney shares the three fake Instagram posts he used to ‘expose Rebekah Vardy’

Coleen Rooney yesterday revealed to Rebekah Vardy the details of her defense against her bitter WAG rival.

In a scathing 55-page document seen by the Mirror, Coleen accuses Vardy of “habitually” leaking stories to the press in exchange for enthusiastic coverage.

The bomb filed yesterday in London High Court in response to Vardy’s libel action also states that Vardy:

• Set up WAGS photos during the 2018 World Cup without your knowledge

• Deliberately sat behind Coleen in the stands at Euro 2016 to maximize his own publicity and his guests “abused” FA staff when told to move

• He was the columnist for “Secret Wag” who leaked private information about the wives of well-known footballers

• She was accused by Sarah Harding of taking intrusive photographs of her without her consent at the National Television Awards in 2018

• He had a way to leak private information after once revealing in an interview how Peter Andre was “hung up like a little chipolata.”

The defense went into detail about the bogus “Operation Sting stories” that she claimed Coleen planted to catch Vardy, including one about the flooding of his basement, his desire to return to television, and wanting to test gender selection. for your next baby.

She provided three photographs in the stash of legal documents to support her claim.

In one, a picture of an airplane seat can be seen as Coleen considers finding out about ‘gender selection’, while in another she can be seen in a selfie, considering her future television career.

A third shows a bottle of Cloudy Bay white wine and a wrinkled face emoji after Coleen recounted how his basement was flooded.

All three stories were false and led Coleen to allege on social media that the source of her media appearance was Rebekah Vardy’s account.

The details of Coleen’s elaborate sting earned her the nickname Wagatha Christie when she publicly claimed that Rebekah’s Instagram account was leaking stories last year.

Rebekah denies the accusation and a defamation battle will take place in the High Court in a few weeks.

Judge Nicklin said a preliminary trial will decide the “natural and ordinary” meaning of Coleen’s posts.

Rebekah, 38, is seeking substantial defamation damages, alleging that Coleen’s post last October linking leaks to her resulted in her suffering “severe and extreme hostility and abuse.”

Coleen made the accusation on his Instagram account, which has 885,000 followers, and on Twitter, which has 1.2 million.

The mother of four wrote that she suspected a friend had been leaking stories about her.

He claimed to have published a series of false stories to see if they would get published in the newspapers and they did.

Her post said that the fake stories were only seen by one follower, and she concluded: “It’s … Rebekah Vardy’s account.”

In her court claim, Rebekah’s attorneys claimed the post meant she had “constantly and repeatedly betrayed” Coleen’s trust over several years by leaking her “private and personal” Instagram posts.

The legal documents seen by Mirror also allege other stories that Coleen believes were leaked to the press by Vardy from his private Instagram account.

These included a publication in September 2017 of photographs of their three children and the text “no matter where I am, they always follow me and I hope it lasts forever.”

A day later a story appeared in which it was alleged that “Wayne Rooney fears his marriage will end when pregnant wife Coleen runs out of his 4 million pound mansion and takes the children with her.”

In October 2017, Coleen posted a photo of Wayne and his first three children with the caption “We love you so much Dad! Happy birthday… thank you for everything you do for us !!! Much love Kai Klay and Kit xxxx “

The next day, an article was published that said “Wayne Rooney is back home, and in bed with Coleen, sharing snapshots with his friends celebrating Halloween together.”

The Sun also published a story about a car accident that she claims was obtained through her private account. Newspapers say Coleen became suspicious of Vardy at the time and removed her as a follower on Instagram.

“On March 3, 2019, the Claimant sent the Respondent a WhatsApp message asking why it had been removed,” the documents add.

Then she allowed Vardy to follow her again. But the leaks continued with another story that she claims was obtained from her private account, about Coleen riding a bicycle at the Soho Farmhouse, which subsequently appeared in the press.

The newspapers claim that in exchange for this information, Vardy received excellent coverage in the newspaper and “financially exploited his public profile.”

The documents state: “The Defendant will invite the Court to infer that such prominent promotion or coverage of the Plaintiff … was the result of the Plaintiff providing information from the Defendant’s Private Instagram Account to The Sun, either directly or indirectly.

This is part of the Claimant’s established track record of self-promotion and the standard practice of providing private information to journalists and the press in order to promote or financially exploit her public profile, especially as a partner of well-known footballer Jamie Vardy. . “

Vardy was also accused of having a way to put private information into the public domain about others as well, including Peter Andre, whom she slept with in 2004 before marrying Vardy.

The documents state: “In the interview, the Claimant revealed, among other things, that (i) she had sexual relations with Peter Andre in November 2001, and that it lasted only five minutes; (ii) Peter Andre had “the smallest pantsuit outfit I have ever seen” which was “like a miniature chipolata”; (iii) that “he had absolutely no hair on his body”; and (iv) the “slaver[ed]”Like one of her boxer dogs when he kissed her.”

Newspapers also claim how Vardy searched for Coleen at Euro 2016 and sat behind her despite not being assigned those seats. The newspapers say: “Ten minutes before the start of the match, the FA liaison officer told Plaintiff’s party members that they were not seated in the correct seats and that the seats in which they were seated were reserved specifically for the safety of the FA.

They were asked to move. The complainant’s guests refused and abused the liaison officer. As a result, FA security was forced to sit elsewhere. “

At the 2018 World Cup, she was accused of preparing a photo of her WAGS teammates on a night out in St. Petersburg before England’s first round match against Belgium.

The papers state: “Plaintiff suggested that she and the other associates of the restaurant’s footballers had a group photo and insisted that it be taken outside. The Plaintiff did not inform the others that, in fact, she had arranged with Splash News for a paparazzo to be outside to photograph them. “

The documents also tell how she worked for The Sun to produce a ‘behind the scenes’ video at the National Television Awards in 2018. It tells how at the awards ceremony Sarah Harding accused the Plaintiff of taking intrusive photographs of her without her consent.

Newspapers also accuse Vardy of being the columnist for The Sun’s Secret Wag, described as “our real-life Premier League prankster.” [who will] reveal top-secret bombs on Britain’s biggest players. “

It featured “a lot of gossip, often defamatory, unfavorable or unflattering about the people named in it and containing very private information.”

The stories included one about how “Kate Wright breaks the WAG code by flaunting wealth and rubbing people’s faces.” Another read how “Of all the footballers’ partners, Danielle Lloyd was the most desperate to be a prankster.”

The newspapers state: “The Respondent will invite the inference that the Claimant has chosen to lie about the fact that she was the Secret Lie (and the source of the leak of private information about the wives of famous soccer players) because she realizes that which supports the Respondent’s case that the Claimant: also used his private information for the purpose of publishing stories in The Sun. “

A spokesperson for Coleen Rooney said: “Coleen has always been confident in his position, although now he is not pleased to have to state the reasons in public court documents. It remains a matter of deep regret to her that Rebekah appears determined to persist in prosecution despite Coleen’s offers of private mediation. Coleen believes that the money that is spent could be used much better in these times. “

Coleen’s defense comes days after Vardy vowed to clear his name and told Good Morning Britain: “We tried to settle things amicably, but it didn’t work. I understand that people think it’s ridiculous, but what was it meant to do?

“I need to clear my name, I want to clear my name. I’ll do whatever it takes and hope it gets resolved soon. ”She previously claimed that multiple people had access to her Instagram account.
