Soccer WAGs war trial starts as Coleen Rooney, Rebekah Vardy go head-to-head
head-to-head in court.The famous soccer WAGs arrived at London’s High Court of Justice on Tuesday morning for their highly-anticipated libel trial.In 2019, the wife of English soccer player-turned-manager Wayne Rooney, sensationally accused Rebekah, the spouse of Leicester City player Jamie Vardy, of leaking stories to The Sun newspaper.Rebekah, who vehemently denied the allegations against her, responded by slapping Coleen with a libel lawsuit.In October 2019, Coleen shared a lengthy post on her Twitter and Instagram accounts, suggesting “for a few years now someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing The SUN newspaper of my private posts and stories.”Coleen, who has been married to Wayne since 2008, said “after a long time of trying to figure out who it could be, for various reasons,” she had a gut feeling and formulated a plan on how to oust this mystery person.“It’s ………. Rebekah Vardy’s account.”“I blocked everyone from viewing my Instagram stories except ONE account,” Coleen said at the time.
