To think Colleen Rooney

[Smidgexxx]

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.

@Justcallmebebes

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

That's ok, you don't have to be interested. I am.

I can't stick Vardy but I kind of hope Colleen loses this one. She's already lost the first 'round' IIRC.

She was a lot kinder than I would’ve been.

Fame hungry RV was selling private stories about her. Pregnant or not, she needs holding to account.

I think the legal side is fascinating. I'm not usually interested in footballers wives.

Wasn’t she outed as a school bully on here once?

But with damages set at a quid. Vulture Vardy doesn't need any more money and is only interested in preserving her 'good name' after all.

Colleen lost the first round? I don't even know what the legal case is. Drat I'm hooked!

@Aprilx

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.

Colleen had tried to cover herself by naming Vardy's account rather than Vardy herself. However, a court found that the wording of the post would still lead people to think she was accusing Vardy personally. So now, to fight it, Rooney has to prove that Vardy personally did share the stories, and not a staff member or press officer or hacker or someone else.

That's going to be tough and I am interested to see how it plays out.

They're just Jeremy Kyle show fodder with money.

If Colleen was sharing information does that waive her right to privacy?

@SinisterBumFacedCat it wouldn’t surprise me and I used to know her.
Once worked in a nightclub in my city and the way she threw herself on anyone with some cash was embarrassing. She has a real reputation for it.
How she trapped JV is beyond me but she loves the air time and would’ve taken great delight in providing journos with private stories.

I personally think that if they were having to work for a living (rather than vanity projects) and fund their own legal bills, this would never have happened.

Not quite, she lost one minor point.

Team Colleen here. Everything I see about RV says fame hungry and attention seeking.

I scarcely know who these women are. I have nothing but contempt for all the people who find it necessary to share their personal lives with the rest of the world. Have they lost all dignity and self-respect?

What right to privacy do you mean?

The fake stories were protected posts. She didn't put them in the public domain. That was was point.

Happy to be corrected by an expert but I believe whoever loses has to cover all the costs.

Playground squabbles give a an adult platform. Ridiculous, and no one's problem but their own.

If Rebekah was using stuff from Colleen's private insta so that she could post in in The Sun for the Secret WAG column then I understand why Colleen would be pissed off.
I don't know if any extended family have Liverpool ties but I understand why people boycott The Sun.

I think they are both spending an insane amount on lawyers though.

Haven't a clue what your talking about.
On the face of it, though she can put whatever private things about herself she likes online.

I mean, it was literally referred to in all news outlets as having lost 'the first stage'. Which is semantically closer to 'round' than 'point'. But ok.

@DrSbaitso I just wondered where it stood legally if Colleen gave the information to people albeit from a non-public facing account

Well you have sort of missed the point that this started with somebody objecting to somebody else sharing details of their private life with the rest of the world.

Is this still going on?!!? Jesus wept. Who the fuck cares. Do they two have nothing to do?!

If you had a column The Secret WAG wouldn't you just ask your friends if they'd make up or allow you to post gossip about them? It sounds like it was common knowledge that Rebekah was the columnist.
