Is anyone else following it?

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

Apparently she blocked everyone except for RV, then posted a fake story about being in a car crash, then the story appeared in the papers. It's pretty damning really.

WheresTheJustice2 · 09/02/2022 13:17

WTF is Rebekah Vardy doing????

It’s obvious as hell that she coordinated the leaks with her agent. All Coleen did was to tell the truth of who was behind the leaks.

Vardy doesn’t have a chance!

@AntAndDecking

To be fair to Coleen, she didn’t decide to take this to court. I don’t see how she’s as bad as RV, she just called someone out for selling stories on her.

Yes, a lot of posters dont seem to understand this. Saying they're as bad as each other eg @mogwig

Rv sold stories about CR and then sued CR for calling her out on it.

@MrsDThomas

No. They’re behaving like two 13yr old schoolgirls having a spat.

They’re grown women, mothers, who should grow the fuck up.

Exactly

ChicCroissant · 09/02/2022 15:57

Who, in their right minds, would bring a case that they knew they couldn't win? Apparently, Rebekah Vardy would, and she looks a total idiot now. I hope she has to pay Coleen's costs as well as her own!

AntAndDecking · 09/02/2022 22:22

Ms Vardy replied: 'That would be like arguing with a pigeon. You can tell it that you are right and it is wrong, but it's still going to s in your hair.'*

Can anyone explain this to me?! I don’t think it’s really the right analogy and seems to describe RV more than CR.

WheresTheJustice2 · 09/02/2022 23:54

I think she’s attempting to make her own version of: don’t wrestle with pigs. You’ll both get dirty but the pig will enjoy it.

It doesn't make any sense. 😂

I think it's a case of her not being as smart as she thinks she is.

SisterAgatha · 10/02/2022 08:04

This whole case sort of proves Coleens point really. RV will do any thing for some column inches off the back of Coleens name. Here she is doing exactly what she was doing before except this time she’s in the news herself too. Perfect combo. She’s 100% getting what she wanted

"Apparently she blocked everyone except for RV, then posted a fake story about being in a car crash, then the story appeared in the papers. It's pretty damning really".

But no-one knows if she got the blocking everyone else correct, who knows who else knew about this plan and could have leaked this?

Vardy told Rooney that she was wrong, but Rooney went public with the information regardless, blaming Vardy

@AndAnotherNewOne

They are both vacuous and pointless. No talent or abilities apart from marrying footballers.

That money could be so much better spent.

They are trying to protect their names and reputations but most people I know have no respect for them in the first place.

It's their money though. Who are you to decide how it's spent. RV was the one who wanted to go to court. As for most people you know not having any respect for them, I'm sure they'll be really bothered by that...

prh47bridge · 10/02/2022 09:09

That is Vardy's argument. Given the messages we know about and the magically disappearing messages, it is looking increasingly unsustainable.

Vardy told Rooney that she was wrong, but Rooney went public with the information regardless, blaming Vardy

No, she didn't. Once the story about the car crash (which she had only revealed to Vardy) appeared in the press, Rooney went public. Vardy's denials came afterwards.

prh47bridge · 10/02/2022 09:14

In fairness, I should say "which she claims she had only revealed to Vardy".

ivykaty44 · 10/02/2022 09:37

How do you know that? thats what the pigeon analogy suggests though - whether its right or wrong

ivykaty44 · 10/02/2022 09:39

tis all very Bridgeton

In the interview in which she made the "arguing with a pigeon" comment, Vardy is clear that the first she knew of Rooney's accusation was when Rooney went public.

ivykaty44 · 10/02/2022 10:50

tbh its a strange analogy, but thats what I took it to mean.

TigerLilyTail · 10/02/2022 10:58

Well, as they say the only real winners here are the lawyers. They must be laughing all the way to the bank.

If Colleen blocked everyone except for Rebecca Vardy, she must have had reasons to suspect her.

TigerLilyTail · 10/02/2022 11:13

Sorry I misspelled their names. Too lazy to Google!

lljkk · 10/02/2022 11:27

Being a lawyer to these people must be good sport. Who says the law is boring?

SidandAndyssextoy · 10/02/2022 11:44

Vardy must have been either spectacularly badly advised or totally pig headed here. I'd assumed that she had some decent defence but the unfortunate and sad demise of all her messages suggests otherwise, and I can't really imagine the judge taking a different view.

L40Postcode · 10/02/2022 11:51

I’m finding the whole thing fascinating.

It wasn’t Colleen’s choice to go to court and now Vardy is looking rather stupid and actually like a really unpalatable character all round.

She always has. She seems to be extremely unpopular with her peers.

WheresTheJustice2 · 10/02/2022 12:41

I’m just wondering if the judge might rule in favour of Vardy on a technicality.
