The "Wagatha Christie" Coleen Rooney/ Rebekah Vardy court case

[Iwantacatnotcovid]

Is anyone else following it?

Vardy's phone was accidentally dropped into the North Sea... Yeah right!

Will the losing party have to pay their own and their opponents legal costs? Must be talking hundreds of thousands of pounds.

[ImAvingOops]

I think it's to support the view that CR isn't defaming RV character by accusing her of selling stories since Vardy has an established history of doing so.
I feel for Peter Andre - he's had this all dragged up again and it must be horrible for him and his family to read. If he takes this opportunity to put the boot into RV, who could blame him?

Peter Andre's chipolata is getting a lot of airtime.

Poor guy.

I don't even understand why its been brought up? What's it got to do with her leaking stories? It was an interview.
Or is just showing her type of character and the fact that she has admitted she lied about it?

God, she is just horrid.

So the only witness on her side is herself? Also surely if you claim you suffered defamation, it implies you had a good reputation in the first place? She didn’t!

[jamimaflange]

I read that she got pregnant three months after getting with Jamie. They married and his parents, grandparents and daughter didn't even go due to some rift with Rebekah. She's toxic.

Not get off on a technicality, win on a technicality

I’m genuinely confused by people saying that CR is just as bad. Some of the things RV is accused of are really awful like leaking the story about Danielle Lloyd’s miscarriage and using the anniversary of CR’s sister’s death to contact her. Just really cold.

RV’s defense seems to be “I said leak but I didn’t actually mean leak.” “I said I want paying but that was just a joke” “I read that but I didn’t actually read that”. More holes that Swiss cheese. Even if she wins, nobody will believe she’s innocent here.

Totally agree with all this.

RV insisted on taking the case, despite losing evidence. Which must be bloody bad because they stuff she HAS produced isn't doing her any favours at all.
The agent being her main witness isn't showing up.
Again, i just can't believe she's let this run.

And Colleen is the Defendant. For everyone saying she's as bad, she has no choice here. She's defending herself.

Vardy may get off on a technicality but she's been shown up for what she is. And in sure most people in those circles will thank CR.

Today apparently!

Timeline for rest of trial
According to a draft timetable provided by Coleen Rooney‘s lawyers, Rebekah Vardy is due to finish giving her evidence on Thursday.

Ms Rooney is then expected to give evidence all day on Friday and finish on Monday morning.

Ms Rooney‘s witnesses - Joe McLoughlin, Paul Stretford, Ian Monk, Rachel Monk and Mark Whittle - are then due to give evidence on Monday afternoon.

On Tuesday, Wayne Rooney is due to give evidence, followed by Claire Rooney, Harpreet Robinson and Penny Adaarewa.

Lawyers for both women are then expected to give their closing arguments on Wednesday.

Is CR going to take to the stand?

*shallow life!

Not sure what went wrong with last post, apologies!

@iknowimcoming

Vardy is an attention seeker first and foremost, so goes by the rule of no such thing as bad press, so the mere fact that we're talking about her means, in her tiny deluded mind she's winning, and regardless of the outcome there'll be interviews and book deals etc etc which will probably pay her legal fees (eventually)

I agree with this, she is currently trending on Twitter,
probably for all the wrong reasons (I haven't read all the tweets) but I suspect that she is pleased to be making the news, it's publicity, and she seems to thrive on that.

What a shallow life.

Ooh sorry! I feel like an idiot now!!

[Gilmorehill]

I suspected that. I actually find the tears pathetic. It’s like a the helpless female’ strategy designed to provoke sympathy from the judge.

[cleolayne]

He has a lovely wife now but blimey PA made some dodgy choices in his past didn't he ! Vardy was a nobody back in 2007 too

[newnamethanks]

BTW. The judge is a woman.

[Figgygal]

Its compelling shit

They both should be embarrassed

[Spudlet]

@newnamethanks

Alas! The agent, Ms Watt, is in too fragile a state, psychologically, to appear in court to answer any questions. She has kindly submitted a report by a psychologist confirming this unfortunate turn of events . Poor thing. I expect we all wish her a speedy recovery.

Perhaps we should think her lucky that no one dropped her off a boat into the North Sea… RV certainly seems to be doing her best to do so, in a metaphorical sense at least.

Any volunteers to be her new agent… anyone? Maybe someone at the back…?

[Gymnopedie]

Poor thing. I expect we all wish her a speedy recovery.

With the amount of muck RV's throwing her way, I hope she finds the strength to take to the stand anyway. I'm wondering if she's been paid off very handsomely to be 'too ill'.

[DenholmElliot]

Is the judge sympathetic to her by allowing her a break when starts sobbing or is it something he has to do?

I guess the judge is just posterior protecting. So that no-one on RV's legal team can come back at him afterwards and say RV didn't have a fair trial because she was forced to answer questions when she was obviously distressed.
