Rebekah Vardy hits out at Coleen Rooney in explosive post

This feud isn't over quite yet

Rebekah Vardy has hit out at Coleen Rooney after being ordered to cover her legal costs from the highly publicised 'Wagatha Christie' trial.

Back in July, Vardy lost her High Court case against Rooney, after suing her for libel over a viral social media post from 2019.

Following the ruling, she was ordered to pay 90 percent of Rooney's legal fees, which is estimated to total at nearly £1.5 million.

Vardy's first payment of £800,000 is scheduled to be paid to her fellow footballer's wife by 4.00pm on 15 November.

But despite the blow, she has refused to go silently.

Taking to Instagram yesterday (4 October), she decided to hit back at a comment made by one of Rooney's representatives in the press.

First, she shared a quote to her Instagram Story which read: "It's always the ones with the dirty hands pointing the fingers."

A few hours later, she shared a photo of a glass jar of coins with the word 'Charity' printed on the front.

On top, she added a quote taken from a recent news story, presumed to be from a spokesperson for Rooney which said: "She'd be far happier to see the money they would have spent on lawyers being used in a more positive and productive way."

Tagging the star's Instagram handle for good measure, Vardy captioned the post: "Let's hope you put your money where your mouth is and some good can come of this whole embarrassing spectacle."

Meanwhile, Rooney has been keeping quiet on social media, and has yet to react to any of the posts.

Tyla has reached out to Coleen Rooney's reps for comment.

During the High Court ruling back in July, it was pointed out that Vardy was partially to blame for the costly legal fees she would now have to cover.

A judge noted that Vardy 'likely [...] deliberately deleted her WhatsApp chat' and subsequently destroyed evidence which Rooney then spent a lot of time and money trying to uncover.

Rooney released a public statement after winning the libel trial, noting that she 'never believed' the case should have gone to court 'at such expense in times of hardship for so many people when the money could have been far better spent helping others.'

She added that she 'made every effort to avoid the need for such a drawn out and public court case', but her efforts were 'knocked back by Mrs Vardy.'

Vardy will also be expected to cover the legal fees of seven journalists from The Sun who were summoned as potential witnesses for the trial, but didn't end up giving evidence.

Additionally, she will be expected to cover her own legal costs too, bringing the overall pay out to an estimated £3 million plus.
