Rebekah Vardy describes 'calculated and menacing' call with Coleen Rooney in court

Rebekah Vardy has described what she claims was an “extremely calculated, cold and menacing” call she had with Coleen Rooney after confronting her about her now-infamous Wagatha Christie Tweet in court today (May 10).

Rooney, the wife of former England star Wayne Rooney, publicly accused her fellow WAG and former Dancing on Ice star of sharing fake stories she uploaded to a private Instagram story in October 2019.

The posts, which Rooney alleges went on to make stories in The Sun, included the 36-year-old star travelling to Mexico for a “gender selection” procedure and about a flood in her basement.

In her statement, Vardy said she was in Dubai at the time of the viral post and was alerted to it by her agent.

She said: “[Rooney] didn’t answer immediately and then called me back off an unknown number. I felt like she was recording the whole call.

“I hoped that, once I had told her that it was not me, then she would simply fix this. Instead, she accused me of leaking stories about her for years.

“I asked her to send me the stories that she thought I had leaked and she said that I knew exactly what I had done.

“She told me that she wanted to make me feel paranoid the way she had felt paranoid. I still remember her tone on that telephone call really vividly.

“It was extremely calculated and cold and she showed no remorse even though I was very upset. I found it very chilling and quite menacing.”

The court heard that Whatsapp messages with Coleen showed the “same cold, proud tone” and were “sarcastic and totally indifferent to the enormity of what she had just done”.

Vardy claimed: “I genuinely think that she did not care at all about the consequences for me and my family and that she was somehow enjoying all the praise and attention that she was getting.”

Jamie Vardy’s wife was also grilled over a 2004 News of the World kiss-and-tell about Peter Andre.

Rooney’s barrister David Sherborne handed her a printout of an article with the headline: “Peter’s hung like a small chipolata, shaved, slobbery, lasts five minutes”.

He asked Vardy: “Did you feel particularly strongly about the size of his manhood that it should be made public?”

Vardy replied: “It was something I was forced to say.”

The trial continues.
