Rebekah Vardy took to Instagram to tell Coleen Rooney "put your money where your mouth is". Mrs Vardy was ordered to stump up 90 per cent of her rival’s court fees from the Wagatha Christie libel battle.
But, as reported by the Mirror, Mrs Vardy has now challenged Wayne Rooney's wife to donate the sum to charity. “Let’s hope you put your money where your mouth is and some good can come of this whole embarrassing spectacle," said the 40-year-old.
She also posted an image that said: “It’s always the ones with the dirty hands pointing the fingers.” Court papers show an initial £800,000 payment must be made to Mrs Rooney by November 15, reports The Mirror.
Mrs Rooney’s legal team have not yet produced a final total for their costs but the last figure presented to the court was £1,667,860. And 90 per cent of that would be £1.5m if it remains unchanged.
Mrs Rooney, 36, accused Mrs Vardy of leaking stories about her to a national daily newspaper after a 2019 sting. In July, High Court Judge Karen Steyn ruled Mrs Rooney proved her claim was “substantially true” and Mrs Vardy knew about disclosures by her ex-agent Caroline Watt.
