Rebekah Vardy recalled the “extremely cold and menacing” call she had with Coleen Rooney after confronting her about her Wagatha Christie Tweet.
In a witness statement to London’s High Court the 40-year-old, who married Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy in 2016, claimed Rooney’s sting operation was a “ploy” to “generate sympathy for herself”. Rooney, the wife of former England star Wayne Rooney, publicly accused Vardy of sharing fake stories she uploaded to a private Instagram story in October 2019.
The posts, which went on to make stories in The S*n, included the 36-year-old travelling to Mexico for a “gender selection” procedure and about a flood in her basement. In her statement, Vardy said she was in Dubai at the time of the viral post and was alerted to it by her agent.
