Coleen Rooney accused of 'knowingly misleading' court over legal costs as Wagatha Christie drama continues
The Wagatha Christie drama has continued as Rebekah Vardy's legal team has accused Coleen Rooney of "deliberately deceiving" the court over her £1.8 million court costs
Robin Dunne, for Mrs Rooney, said that the argument that the amount owed should be reduced was “misconceived” and that the budget was “not designed to be an accurate or binding representation” of her overall legal costs. In the viral social media post in October 2019 at the heart of the libel claim, Coleen, the wife of former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, said she had carried out a months-long “sting operation” and accused Rebekah of leaking information about her private life to the press. The judge added that Mrs Vardy, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, had “actively” engaged, “directing Ms Watt to the private Instagram account, sending her screenshots of Mrs Rooney’s posts, drawing attention to items of potential interest to the press and answering additional queries raised by the press via Ms Watt”.
