I'm quite prepared to be flamed over this, but I can't be the only one to think that there is something really off about her? She is really milking his new found fame for all it's worth, desperately trying to turn herself into the new Victoria Beckham/Coleen Rooney. First it was the newspaper interviews, then the lingerie shoot, followed by the big OK wedding spread.

Now very conveniently she was caught up in all the trouble between England and Russia fans over the weekend and ended up getting tear gassed. Managing to get her face on the front pages of course, and this morning I woke up to see her being interviewed via satellite on Good Morning Britain about her terrible experience, looking all serious. I thought it was just me, but you could tell from the way he was questioning her that Piers Morgan also thought she was talking complete bollocks.

Now I know she's not the first woman to use her footballing husbands fame to boost her own career prospects but he's apparently estranged from his entire family, parents and grandparents because they dislike her and they didn't attend the wedding. Then you hear that she has form for selling kiss and tell stories going back years, I can't help but think that she's been waiting her whole life for this gravy train to arrive.

Am I just being a massive bitch here?

Why would you compare a penis to a remote control?? Ours are completely different sizes 😂😂

sst1234 · 12/05/2022 07:20

Wonder why people get so worked up over zombie threads? Seems a bit irrational.

All I can say is that I have no idea what you're talking about because gossip like this doesn't interest me. I click on other news items - important stuff like wars, indian fires, the climate emergency, rise of bills, politics, nhs, health, business etc. So to stop this kind of news people have to stop wanting to read and watch all that shite.

Aaand maybe you could stop posting since you’re so uninterested 🙄

AbsolutelyLoveIy · 12/05/2022 07:25

I note that nobody has qualified whether it’s an 80s brick rather than the humble Apple TV remote. 💪

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 12/05/2022 07:27

Well an Apple TV remote is tiny, whereas the Sky one need two hands sometimes 😂😂

Why? Simply because you don't want to read about it? You aren't better than anyone because of that Grin

Interesting theory. There is a story in the Mail today about the orange one having a penis the size of a remote control. Then I read this curiously bumped zombie thread and guess what? It talks about a penis the size of a remote control.

I suddenly feel very Wagatha Christie-like myself! 🕵️

Pretty sure kp covered this in her first book, it was a sky remote if memory serves me right

Looks like #bekind is yesterdays news, doesn’t it?

#Bekind is a crock of shit anyway, but this isn’t the best example of it.

Works both ways, I'd say.
If you want us all to be nice to poor, victimised RV, she should have behaved with a little more kindness to others in the past.

Bewilderinggg · 12/05/2022 07:50

I totally agree with the OP.

There is something VERY off with her!

She is trouble and comes across fake to me. Not to be trusted that one.

#Bekind is a method to silence people. It was also started on the back of someone charged with domestic violence.

Best zombie thread since 2012's "shall I call my baby Danaerys because she's such a strong role model?"

This OP's judgement has proven rather better.

Exactly! I mean, Fire stick or Sky? It makes a difference... 😂

Tillsforthrills · 12/05/2022 07:58

Wow she really is being ‘subtly’ called out for having 3 children by 3 different men.

Disgusting!

zafferana · 12/05/2022 08:06

You would think Coleen would have bigger things to worry about given Wayne is completely going off the rails and sleeping around.

Not again? He's been doing that since before they got married, but every time she does it she vows to 'stand by her man' so I reckon you're right and this is a welcome distraction from her tom-catting husband.

Both Rebekah and Coleen have got more money than sense. I didn't realise until this week that the court case isn't to decide whether Becky did or did not sell stories about Coleen to the press, it's to 'defend their reputations'. What fucking reputations? Individually, the pair of them are nobodies who happened to marry footballers. On R4 on Tues they were saying that best case scenario it costs the winner £300k to have brought this lawsuit and the loser will be out of pocket over £1m!!!

This is a zombie thread - a journo looking for gossip????????

It was known it was a Zombie 🧟‍♀️ thread when it was revived. The point @PinkPomeranian was making was it was clear 6 years ago what she was like and that’s relevant now, especially considering she is currently in court contesting she doesn’t sell/share stories. Home goal 🥅.

Why is CR getting a hard time here? CR hasn't chosen this, she's being sued for libel by RV and has to defend herself. Or would you suggest she should have rolled over and stumped up a settlement instead? Confused

I didn't even know that he had split up with Rebekah? Googling now.....

The thread is from 2016 Grin

Good call of 6 years ago @MintyChapstick!

Parsley1234 · 12/05/2022 08:22

@MintyChapstick @Starseeking yep really good call. Everything said in the opening post has been proved to be true dreadful self seeking woman and if Rooney is playing away AGAIN unbelievable just unbelievable as a side note I didn’t know her parents didn’t go to their wedding . Not one brain cell amongst any of them totally embarrassing

Iwantmyoldnameback · 12/05/2022 08:23

How about a bit of sisterhood support for Colleen? Not fair to lump them together.
