One of them says the other one leaked some stories about her on Twitter and now the second one is suing the first one. Or something like that.

Yawn.

AIBU?

The correct action when you don’t give a shit about a topic, particularly when involving celebrities, is to go onto the threads in question and post ‘I don’t even know who these people are’.

I'm not great at tech , so how did CR manage to have an account on social media that only RV could look at? I can't get my head around that one to be honest ( I don't use it much myself to be fair) she was clever or maybe had some help ? That bit I'm not sure about or how it would work, but it did work clearly ( as far as I can tell )

SpindleInTheWind · 14/05/2022 13:41

And as Rooney is being sued, she has no choice but to participate in this farce. She tried to settle, but Vardy wasn't having it. Vardy wants the notoriety, to be papped, to be famous. If she can't be famous, she'll settle for infamous. If she can't be an A-Lister, she'll settle for C-Lister.

Maybe she's addicted to being in the papers and on TV. It happens to men, too - Brooklyn Beckham springs to mind.

The only reasons to notice it are the names for it:
Wagatha Christie
The Scousetrap
Wagnarok (thank you, Marina Hyde)

As I understand it, she set up several fake stories and locked them to all bar select contacts. By tracking which ones appeared in the media she was able to conclude that Vardy's account was the only one accessing the leaked stories.

the80sweregreat · 14/05/2022 13:46

Ahh, thank you ! Makes sense now
Clever eh?

Abhannmor · 14/05/2022 13:47

Not seen much . Did read a bit in the Guardian. Confusing tbh. Embarrassed for them both.

Florenz · 14/05/2022 13:47

Why didn't she just stop speaking to Vardy?

Why don't the both of them do something with their lives instead of living vicariously through their husbands?

Why are you embarrassed for Rooney?

the80sweregreat · 14/05/2022 13:53

They could have just blocked each other I suppose and moved on, but the sting was clever and RV walked into it. I suppose CR was fed up with the lies and deceit and seeing false stories about her everywhere too. Although most people I know just think ' tittle tattle' but that's easy for me to say as I'm not famous or whatever and she obviously had enough of it.

SpindleWick · 14/05/2022 14:10

It was being leaked to The Sun as well. Not to just any old piece of shit tabloid - The Sun.

Coleen and Wayne Rooney are from Liverpool. Vardy is not.

daimbarsatemydogsbone · 14/05/2022 16:21

Wagnarok - I must be really dim and/or out of touch - what's this a reference to?

BritWifeInUSA · 14/05/2022 17:26

Biggest waste of court time ever.

InFiveMins · 14/05/2022 17:35

YANBU. They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves but I think they are loving the "hype". Both of them are gross time wasters.

dottiedodah · 14/05/2022 17:40

No not interested at all .don't know why they can't just have had a coffee and sorted it out privately tbh

I googled it and 'Ragnarok' came up, an online game about a mythological-style battle to the death.

Rooney attempted to settle, Vardy said no. Vardy is driving this court case entirely. Rooney cannot withdraw as she is the respondant ('defendant').

Oysterbabe · 14/05/2022 17:46

Yabu. It's hilarious.

stuntbubbles · 14/05/2022 17:46

YABU. It’s wonderful. The news needed some trashy entertainments after ::gestures at past two years::

Rebekah Vardy has given us a great gift in suing.

Bit Hmm at the posters lumping Rooney in with Vardy as wasting time and money on this – she doesn’t have a choice, she’s defending herself. If you paid as much attention to the trial of the century as you do to being snooty about it on Mumsnet, you’d know that.

Ragnarok is Norse mythology. A big final battle, end of the world type thing. Like calling it Wagmageddon.

Some of us have better things to do with our time than follow a bitch fight between two footballers’ wives. But if that’s what entertains you, carry on.

Ragnarok, Norse end of the world (roughly equivalent to Judgement Day in Christianity). Also a Marvel movie. Plus WAG, wives and girlfriends of footballers such as Colleen and Rebekah.

Changechangychange · 14/05/2022 18:00

And yes Vardy is absolutely driving this, though I can’t imagine why, given how badly she is coming across.

I can’t work out if she is dim and didn’t realise she’d appear like a two faced money grabber, or whether she thinks all publicity is good publicity and she is hoping she’ll be asked onto I’m a celebrity as a hate figure next year.

Also wondering if her husband realised she was such a massive cunt before he married her, or if they are both as bad as each other.

It would be odd if they invited her on I'm a Celeb considering she was in the 2017 series! I can't see her getting Strictly either.

Everydaydayisaschoolday · 14/05/2022 18:06

I'm loving every second of it. Watching RV gradually dig herself deeper and deeper into the shit is great entertainment.
