About Jamie Vardy's new wife?

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?

Rebekah Vardy really shouldn't have brought this case, her own admissions during cross-examination have firmly implicated herself.

One of the funniest Zombie threads I have seen in years.
The trial is pure entertainment, do you think the Sun paid RV to bring the case? How the judge us keeping a straight face is beyond me.

Parsley1234 · 12/05/2022 08:47

@Mangowood and the briefs for each of them their colleagues must be laughing saying easiest job ever just keep invoicing these chumps

MiniCooperLover · 12/05/2022 08:52

Jamie Vardy must be gutted seeing all his money being wasted on this. He was quite late to earning big money, even the rooneys must be haemorrhaging cash by now ...

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

Since 'be kind' is mainly used to mean women shut up and never stand up to shitty behaviour - I would be really glad if it is now chip wrappers.

Why the hell do you know all this shit about her? I vaguely heard a headline on the radio about one footballer's wife getting caught up in the violence, and I think recognised the name in your title from that. But I don't even know her name (and I think it's interesting that you haven't given it in your OP even, she's merely 'Jamie Vardy's new wife').

It is very possible to avoid knowing anything about people like this, if she bothers you so much.

@MintyChapstick has got to be Colleen 😆

Mochudubh · 12/05/2022 09:09

Haha, I got completely caught out by this. I was thinking "Is this the same one involved in Wagatha Christie or a new one"?

Gastonia · 12/05/2022 09:17

I had no idea who the Vardys even were in 2016... everyone's heard of them now! Grin

teezletangler · 12/05/2022 07:12

This is the best zombie thread since the poster replied to her own thread about pushchairs several years later!

Well done OP. Wagatha Christie level observation skills on display.

That was hilarious! Grin

TokyoSushi · 12/05/2022 09:27

Turns out you were right OP! The trial is utterly ridiculous, l they all look like a bunch of massive twats, but RV in particular!

Nothappyatwork · 12/05/2022 09:35

I have to say it has been thoroughly entertaining though come on we’ve loved every minute

Badger1970 · 12/05/2022 09:36

I'm just open mouthed at how rough and hard faced they all look tbh......... what the hell has happened to Wayne and Colleen, they could easily pass for people in their 50s Shock it just shows that money can't buy taste or class.

The lawyers must be absolutely pissing themselves with laughter at what they're earning over this catfight.

DaisyQuakeJohnson · 12/05/2022 09:41

Now I think OP is Wagatha Christie. Grin

WifeMotherWorkRepeat · 12/05/2022 09:47

Looks like the OP had analysed and described the vile RV rather accurately 6 years ago and at the time was slammed by MN’ers!!

Well done OP, you were right about her character, this court case is testament to the type of person she is!

FlissyPaps · 12/05/2022 02:02

Don’t read the thread then 😂

Reminds me of how everyone purports to loathe the DM and yet are very familiar with its content!

colourmebladd · 12/05/2022 07:19

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

Penises or remote controls?

ShirleyPhallus · 12/05/2022 09:54

Oh this has aged so well!

BoDerek · 12/05/2022 10:02

I hate the DM but I still look at it. It does leave me feeling a bit sick though, so hateful. There are lots of stories I can’t bring myself to read (anything by Piers Morgan, anything about Meghan Markle, anything with BJ in it, anything containing the word “woke”, anything by the female columnists who seem to be the most extreme examples of internalised misogyny on the planet) but I do weirdly follow the murder stories and have a grudging respect for the extensive coverage of male on female violence. It’s one of those weird times when the far right and the far left actually find something in common. I know they run the stories for the clicks and that there is a pornographic bent to it with them focusing on more beautiful and teenage women, but at least it’s coverage of the EPIDEMIC of gendered violence.

LampHat · 12/05/2022 10:02

This is brilliant! Good spot @MintyChapstick

AhhSlippedOnMahBeansRitaaa · 12/05/2022 10:03

I read the entire first page wondering why she was 'new' and why no one was discussing the current court case! @mnhq can we please have the time stamps back to specify yesterday and today!
Although this is a good zombie 🧟‍♂️

EvilPea · 12/05/2022 10:05

Shmithecat2 · 12/05/2022 07:57

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

It’s apparently a sky+ remote.

is this a British unit of measurement now.
like double decker bus and football pitch.

farmerboy · 12/05/2022 10:07

Wow.

Lurkerlot · 12/05/2022 01:06

oooh hello, Coleen 😊

If you had bothered to read the whole thread you would have realised this was reanimated from 2016 you great nana.

Huh? I don’t understand your post. I mean, it sounds exactly like something Colleen could have written back then. And why are you calling someone a “Nana” as an insult? 🧐

MinglingFlamingo · 12/05/2022 10:18

Best zombie thread ever! And exhibit A for the argument against why Zombie threads should be banned 😂😂😂
