Coleen Rooney has branded her relationship with fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy ‘unnatural’ as she says she ‘can tell’ when someone is ‘trying to force a friendship because of your status’
Coleen Rooney has branded her friendship with Rebekah Vardy “unnatural”.
The wife of footballer Wayne Rooney has said she “can tell” when someone is “trying to force a friendship because of your status”. Coleen won her libel case against Rebekah, dubbed âWagatha Christie’. The legal case was ignited in October 2019 when mum-of-four Coleen took to social media to sensationally accuse fellow WAG Rebekah, 41, of selling stories about her personal life to The Sun.
She made the accusation revealing she had planted fake stories on her own social media channels, but limited who could see the false information, and then was surprised when the fake news made its way into the tabloids. Rebekah furiously denied she had been leaking the information and sued Coleen for libel – with the case resulting in a high-profile high court trial which ended in July last year with the judge ruling in Rooney’s favour.
Speaking to The Times ahead of the release of a new documentary called Coleen Rooney : The Real Wagatha Story, she shared what her relationship with Rebekah was like. Coleen said she is “very savvy” when it comes to people’s intentions surrounding friendships, and found “the friendship Rebekah was trying to put on me was unnatural.”
