Coleen Rooney says Rebekah Vardy’s ‘evil’ texts made her sick as saga strained marriage

Vardy loses ‘Wagatha Christie’ libel case against Coleen Rooney Coleen Rooney said Rebekah Vardy’s “evil” texts read in court made her sick and at times the saga took its a toll on her marriage. In a bombshell new interview with British Vogue, Wayne Rooney’s wife has addressed the £3million libel trial for the first time. Coleen, 37, was sued for defamation by Rebekah Vardy after she publicly accused the 41-year-old of being behind an account leaking her private information to the press, in her now infamous Wagatha Christie reveal post. In the subsequent High Court case in 2022 between the celebrities, Coleen won, with Ms Justice Steyn ruling that Rebekah ‘knew of, condoned and actively engaged’ in information being passed to The Sun. ‘The texts knocked me sick,’ Coleen told British Vogue. ‘They were just another level. When I was reading them I was thinking: the evilness and the hatred that they had for someone that they don’t even know.’ READ MORE Inside Sir Michael Parkinson’s infamously painful interview with Meg Ryan Coleen Rooney has broken her silence on libel case She spoke about messages between Rebekah and her former agent in which the two discussed Coleen’s late sister Rosie, who died from Rett syndrome in 2013 at the age of 14.
