Rebekah Vardy has revealed how she felt “extreme anguish” in legal documents after being publicly accused by Coleen Rooney following the Wagatha Christie case.
The 38-year-old wife of footballer Jamie Vardy said she felt “suicidal” after Wayne Rooney’s wife accused her of leaking stories about Coleen and her family.
In the court documents, which have been drawn up for her libel fight against Coleen, Rebekah described how the stress of the scandal made her fear she was going to lose her baby as she was heavily pregnant at the time.

According to The Daily Mail, one astonishing claim made in the document by Rebekah is that she claims she was made a “scapegoat” by Coleen.
Rebekah also claims in the report that Coleen has approved of her friends leaking gossip about her in the past.
It points to previous stories about Coleen and Wayne with some “in particular about their marriage, which have in fact come from the Defendant’s friends, at times even with the Defendant’s approval”.
Heartbreakingly, Rebekah’s legal papers say she even had sickening threats to kill her unborn baby.

One vile message read: “You fat ugly fu****g rat I genuinely hope you and your baby rot and die an extremely painful death for what you have done.”
Another abusive post said: “Your baby deserves to put in the incinerator and so do you, fat nosed c**t. I hope childbirth hurts.”
In the document, Rebekah describes how the scandal and Coleen’s very public claims while she was seven months pregnant had “gravely injured her reputation”.
Rebekah has repeatedly denied being the source of the series of stories published about Coleen.

Vardy’s lawyers have claimed that Coleen’s 230-word post was written in a “calculated and deliberate manner”.
Coleen accused Becky’s social media account of leaking stories in a lengthy post to her 885,000 followers on her Instagram account and her 1.2 million followers on Twitter.
Her statement began: “It’s been tough keeping it to myself and not making any comment at all, especially when the stories have been leaked, however I had to. Now I know for certain which account / individual it’s come from.”
She finished her post by stating: “I have saved and screen-shotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them. It’s ………. Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
