To not feel very sorry for Rebekah Vardy

This Rebekah Vardy Colleen Rooney business has ended up costing a huge amount of money. Now RV has to pay costs of £1.6 million. Total madness. Why did she do it. Obviously thought she'd win. The phone falling into the sea. Hmm how convenient.

No sympathy from me. The whole case was hilarious really. She was suing for 'defamation of character'. Only to have to stand up in court with it being shown time and time again that it was, in fact, her character. I guess she thought if the phone got lobbed in the sea they couldn't prove anything. Instead they showed loads of examples of what an awful person she is.

Or, as my dad would say, 'play silly games, win stupid prizes'

@Babbadoobabbadock Hasn't she also been accused of leaking something in the Kyle Walker affair too ??

Yes. The texts that Kyle's wife sent to Rebekah Vardy in confidence years ago somehow found their way to the press a few days ago. I think that seeing as Vardy is now friends with Lauryn Goodman, she forwarded them to Goodman, and it was her who gave them to the press.

I'm really glad that Vardy has lost this court case. The fact she allegedly found it difficult to find a law firm to even take on the case should have told her it was foolhardy.

Lawyers who can only stay in expensive hotels or book at short notice, and whose costs seemingly cannot be challenged, is a wrong that does not make things right.

The laws on defamation are a rich person's thing that in many cases (not this one) are used to bully people into silence.
