The Wagatha Christie legend is… lastly over.
The enduring legal fight in between Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney— the other halves of 2 popular British soccer stars– concluded on July 29 when a London High Court judge ruled that Coleen, 36, had actually not maligned Rebekah, 40, in her October 2019 viral tweet, per CNN
The libel suit, which started in June 2020 and led to a significant trial in May, focused around Coleen’s social networks post in which she declared that Rebekah was dripping personal details about her and her household to the British tabloid The Sun, per the BBC
In a composed choice, the Judge, Justice Karen Steyn mentioned that the damages Rebekah suffered following the online fallout did not have “the sting of libel’ and that ” the case is dismissed,” according to the New York Times
“The evidence…clearly shows, in my view, that Mrs Vardy knew of and condoned this behavior,” the judge composed, per CNBC She included that Rebekah was “actively taking part in it by directing [her former agent Caroline Watt] to the personal Instagram account, sending her screenshots of Mrs Rooney’s posts, accentuating products of prospective interest to journalism, and responding to extra questions raised by the press by means of Ms Watt.”
