Rebekah Vardy is said to have launched a lawsuit against Coleen Rooney, in an effort to clear her name after the WAGatha Christie scandal.
Last October, Coleen accused Rebekah Vardy’s Instagram account of leaking private stories to the press.
According to The Sun, Rebekah, 38, has filed court papers at the High Court claiming Coleen, 34, has libelled her name with the accusations.
With proceedings said to cost £1million between them, Rebekah is allegedly seeking an apology from mum-of-four Coleen, though no further details of the case have been made public.
Their source claimed: “Becky has made it clear to Coleen that she is deadly serious about clearing her name, and wants a full public apology.

“It’s not about money. As far as Becky is concerned, she wants her costs and vindication.
“But since Coleen still refuses to agree to an apology, she’s gone ahead with filing the paperwork at the High Court.
“It’s a very expensive thing to do and the expectation is costs could run towards half a million pounds for each side but she’s completely determined to clear her name at any cost.”
Daily Star Online has contacted Rebekah’s representatives for comment.

On October 9, Coleen shared a statement over Instagram, revealing someone had been leaking stories to the press behind her back.
Doing some detective work – and inspiring the infamous “WAgatha Christie” nickname – she said: “To try and prove this, I came up with an idea.
“I blocked everyone from viewing my Instagram stories except one account (those on my private account must have been wondering why I haven’t had stories on there for a while.)”

Before finishing: “Now I know for certain which account / individual it’s come from. I have saved and screens hotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them.
“It’s……… Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
Hours later, Rebekah was quick to deny the allegations, saying: “As I have just said to you on the phone, I wish you had called me if you thought this.
“I never speak to anyone about you as various journalists who have asked me to over the years can vouch for.
“If you thought this was happening you could have told me & I could have changed my passwords to see if it stopped.
“Over the years various people have had access to my insta & just this week I found I was following people I didn’t know and have never followed myself.”
