To think Colleen Rooney

Shouldn't put things online that are so private to her? None of us should?
I just think the money wasted on this court case with Rebekah vardy.

I know we all have our own opinions. I found the way Colleen dealt with it wrong personally. Rebekah was 7 months pregnant and she wasn't just causing stress to Rebekah but to her children too. She went all public about it and aired her dirty laundry in public whilst being angry about her own privacy.

I just saw an update and one of the things she said was Rebekah was sitting behind her at the 2016 euros to be seen even though it was someone else's seat. What a petty thing to say.

The whole thing is just ridiculous.

Is that you Rebekah ?

ThanksIGotItInMorrisons · 13/07/2021 11:03

I’m not interested in anything to do with these creatures. They made their own beds. I couldn’t give a monkeys fart tbh. Only commenting as thus far there’s a lack of responses really.

Does anyone actually give a flying fuck about 2 over privileged, vacuous morons squabbling over their social media?

MotionActivatedDog · 13/07/2021 11:04

Who gives a shite? Confused

NoProblem123 · 13/07/2021 11:06

Yeah, you don’t care, I don’t care, nobody cares !

She’s not very nice is she.

VettiyaIruken · 13/07/2021 11:08

This is the footballers wife and one of his many extra marital shaggers isn't it?

She can put whatever she likes on social media.

What she can't do is then complain if things she chose to put on the internet come back to bite her on the backside.

That's the same for everyone.

SalsaLove · 13/07/2021 11:08

Or perhaps Rebekah made her own bed.

KnobJockey · 13/07/2021 11:08

I think that Rebecca Vardey (allegedly) thought it was okay to air someone else's news on social media/ news outlets, it's her problem when it comes round to bite her on the arse. No matter how pregnant she was. Did she care what Colleen was going through at the point she rang up the papers?

I find the spelling "Rebekah" so tacky

Isn't that the original bible spelling?
nolongersurprised · 13/07/2021 11:14

Rebekah is the Old Testament spelling, isn’t it?

Brefugee · 13/07/2021 11:15

Meh. They have public and private accounts. IIRC Rooney realised someone was leaking things she only put on her private account, set a rather clever trap and identified Vardy as the leak.

The fact that Vardy was pregnant is neither here nor there - she was selling private things about someone who thought she was a friend. In Rooney's shoes? I would have been much much more scathing.

and?

These two women have too much time, money and attention. Thats how you end up, when you believe you're the centre if the universe.

Frownette · 13/07/2021 11:18

It depends on whether Rebekah used assistance to maintain her account

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 13/07/2021 11:20

With bref on this.

I am also with knob
not necessarily a sentence I thought I’d ever type Grin

Tacky in what way?

Why would one ancient spelling be tacky and the other ancient spelling not, I'm interested in the thinking behind that. It's not like her parents decided to call her Chardonnay or Shevaughn.

Sisisimone · 13/07/2021 11:24

It was a private account and someone she thought was a friend was leaking stories to the press for money and attention. I'm not surprised she was pissed off and think it's only fair RV got pulled up publicly for it.

Pedalpushers · 13/07/2021 11:30

There are obviously much more important things to worry about.

For what it's worth though, nobody should get a free pass to do what they like free of consequences just because they're pregnant. Don't want the stress? Don't do it, easy.

wjg65ka · 13/07/2021 11:33

I just think Rebekah shouldn't of been selling stories and she got her knickers in a twist because she got caught

Tendonsandjoints · 13/07/2021 11:36

But to be fair you don't know how many times Colleen had remained silent while supposed friends sold snippets of her private life for cash.

The tide is turning in terms of what is judged to be appropriate behaviour and I thought she was brave to make a stand.

I don't follow celeb gossip type things but I know someone who knows CR slightly in a professional capacity who says Collen seems to be a decent person. I don't think it's fair that her marriage is brought in to this discussion.

I am interested from the legal perspective.
Aprilx · 13/07/2021 11:41

As I understand, Colleen was correct that Rebekah had been leaking private information about her. And I also understood that it was Rebekah that was pursuing the legal claim so effectively keeping it in the gossip column news.

Justcallmebebes · 13/07/2021 11:43

I am interested from the legal perspective.

Well having worked in law for 20+ years, I still don't give a flying fuck. The only people who do are the legal teams filling their Armani lined pockets I should think
