Rebekah Vardy has been branded a “highly unreliable witness” during her libel battle with Coleen Rooney and gave “implausible and throwaway explanations” in the witness box, a judge has heard. Rebekah walked out of court today after Coleen’s barrister David Sherbourne made the claim in the final hours of the Wagatha Christie trial at London’s High Court.
Coleen accused Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City player Jamie, of leaking information from her private Instagram story in October 2019. Rebekah denies this and is suing Coleen for libel.
Mr Sherborne said in his closing submissions today that “anybody in court could be forgiven for wondering how the case has been allowed to get this far". While Coleen and her England star husband Wayne did not attend court for the first time during the trial this morning, Rebekah came alone but left part-way through the opposing side’s submissions.
