It was Rebekah Vardy who took Coleen Rooney to court, saying she had suffered 'very serious harm to her reputation' as a result of allegations that she had leaked stories to The Sun newspaper. Rooney defended the claim on the basis of truth and that it was in the public interest.
Giving evidence, Rooney told the judge she had tried three times"in vain" to avoid the matter going to court.
"I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them," Rooney wrote in the internet post that quickly went viral.Rebekah and Jamie Vardy pictured at Leicester City's King Power Stadium in the days after the trialVardy said she had suffered"very serious harm to her reputation" as a result of Rooney's allegations and therefore brought the case to court to defend herself.
