Which one took it to court? Wasting time and money- I’m on anyone else’s side

Vardy took it to court after refusing to take Rooney's offer to settle. Rooney offered money but refused a public apology apparently.

ItsSnowJokes · 12/05/2022 19:14

I'm on CR side. RV has made her look like a right snakey cunt and no one will trust her ever again. I think she may be very lonely in future! I don't think she will be privy to any news or parties etc.....

AndAsIfByMagic · 12/05/2022 19:15

They are both utterly pointless and vacuous.

Waste of money that should have gone to charity or food banks.

Selfish self-obsessed thickos.

MangosteenSoda · 12/05/2022 19:16

Coleen!

I wasn’t aware of RV before Wagatha exploded and although I’m sure she’s a believer in all publicity is good publicity, this is definitely not going to be that!

Assume RV is continuing because it’s so hard for CR to prove it was definitely her that RV will quite likely win. She doesn’t seem to care that she’s not actually protecting her reputation at all. Quite the opposite.

I am thankful for RV though as I’m very much enjoying the spectacle. She’s 50% cartoon villain and 50% Samantha Brick

Theworkhouse · 12/05/2022 19:25

It's amusing to follow. I can't imagine anyone on RVs side, seeing as she took it to court and is obviously guilty. Also amusing is all the virtue signalling from people on this thread, who all eat bread and cheese and never go on holiday or to the cinema presumably. Cue someone coming along and saying they never do any of those things 😆

JenniferPlantain · 12/05/2022 19:29

Officially: neither. I’m far too intellectual and busy to care.

Unofficially: TEAM COLLEEN! What on earth possessed Vardy to air her dirty laundry like this….!!! #livingforit

Team Rooney for all the reasons pp have said above. Can't believe Vardy actually brought the case and has put herself in this position.

Am also bored and unimpressed by the volume of 'who cares' 'they're both pointless' replies from people who 1) have presumably paused briefly from rereading Proust to lower themselves to comment, and 2) would be the first to start wailing about it if someone was selling personal info of theirs to The Sun.

'paused briefly from reading Proust' 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious. But agreed! They clearly care enough to comment 😂

PS I'm team CR! RV is making herself look absolutely ridiculous and after the Peter Andre chipolata story clearly has form for selling stories to the S*n.

Lindy2 · 12/05/2022 19:45

Neither. Both need a bloody big reality check as to what's important in life.

I haven't followed any of it and I don't intend to start now.

Say people spending their time joining in a discussion about it on Mumsnet. Cos THAT'S what's important in life.

Team Coleen.

I think that to know that someone you think of as a mate is selling you out for money must be grim. I completely sympathise with CR's need to find out who it was.

Ideally she would have taken the moral high ground, just frozen RV out but and resisted the urge to call her out in public, but I can totally understand the temptation. And if I'd given way to that temptation then no way would I have apologised and paid RV off. CR has the money to fight it and show RV up for what she is, and good for her.

We're all entertained, the lawyers get a payday, CR comes out of it possibly poorer but with her reputation enhanced. Everyone's a winner apart from RV and Peter Andre.

Pieceofpurplesky · 12/05/2022 20:19

I have just read Peter Andre's comments and he is so right about the media making fair game of some people. His poor kids have to wad about him and his small penis. He makes the point that we would be incensed if he sold a story saying 'RV had a massive Fanny, stank of sweat and it was like shagging a plank of wood'.

Team CR all the way

I still don't understand how dropping your phone in the sea means you lose your WhatsApp messages. You get a new phone, sign in and there they all are.

JangolinaPitt · 12/05/2022 20:26

Gotta love a reference to Proust on a thread about CR & RV 😀

Gymnopedie · 12/05/2022 20:26

Assume RV is continuing because it’s so hard for CR to prove it was definitely her that RV will quite likely win.

If she does, on a very incomplete and unsatisfactory hearing because of the 'lost' evidence, I really hope the judge awards her damages of... 1p! I think that might actually hurt her more than losing.

Such a good point by him.

JangolinaPitt · 12/05/2022 20:28

Actually the thing that interests me most is that I actually did drop my own phone in a river in the summer and lost WhatsApp messages as did not have backup option on….

I might have rather more sympathy for Andre had he not been a 1990s one-hit wonder who had spent the last 20+ years pursuing an entirely pointless ‘career’ as a media whor tart.

Northernsouloldies · 12/05/2022 20:36

ITV NEWS last night, Ukraine, murder trial of a child, the young mum on her end of life care(bowel babe) followed by these pair of vacuous imbeciles, words fail me.

Badger1970 · 12/05/2022 20:36

I think RV has got a nasty ruthless streak. And that's on display for the world to see. It speaks volumes when family refuse to attend a wedding.........

But CR isn't exactly likeable either. She hasn't been shy about paying for Backgrid snaps when she's coming out of the gym(with no sign of sweat or workout having gone on)/coffee shops/holidays. As for putting up with such a disgusting slimeball of a cheat......... words fail me.

I don't think either are coming out of this particularly well to be honest. Both have played the media, and got burned.
