The judicial war between two of the most mediatic ‘wags’ in the United Kingdom, Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, wives of soccer players Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy, respectively, officially ended last Friday, when the High Court of Justice of London conceded victory to the former, corroborating her accusations that her former friend had leaked damaging and even defamatory information about her husband to the press.
In this way, three years of litigation marked by a harsh exchange of reproaches between the two, of which the British tabloids took very good note. However, it seems that Coleen will not be satisfied with the almost 3 million pounds ($3.68 million dollars) that Rebekah would have to pay by order of the judge, derived from a sentence that the latter would intend to appeal.
Rebekah does not want to be remembered by public opinion as the “villain” of the story, according to her relatives, but Coleen would be determined to underline such condition with the presentation of another lawsuit that would delve into the damages suffered as a result of this illicit use of their private information, which violated the legislation on the protection of personal data.
“It was a great win for Coleen. She is delighted with the judge’s decision, which on the other hand does not surprise her. In the next few days, she will reflect and talk with her legal team about the next steps to take. This may involve seeking her own compensation for damages. It is something that he will definitely consider, always under the guidance of his lawyers, ”explained a source from his environment to the newspaper The Sun.
A very illustrative fact about the media soap opera that this case became, known as ‘Wagatha Christie’, in an ingenious play on words with the acronym ‘Wag’ -‘Wife and Girlfriend’- and the name of the British author Agatha Christie, the queen of mystery and suspense, resides in the plans that are already being developed to fictionalize this controversy, which could lead to a miniseries for British television and even a film produced in Hollywood.
