Rebekah Vardy says she is 'devastated' after losing libel case against Coleen Rooney

► Subscribe to Sky Sports News: bit.ly/SkySport...
Rebekah Vardy has lost the 'Wagatha Christie' High Court libel battle she brought against Coleen Rooney over a viral social media post.
However, Vardy has disputed the verdict made by the judge, describing the ruling as "wrong" and not one she can accept.
"I am extremely sad and disappointed at the decision that the judge has reached," Vardy said in a statement. "It is not the result that I had expected, nor believe was just. I brought this action to vindicate my reputation and am devastated by the judge's finding.
"The judge accepted that publication of Coleen's post was not in the 'public interest' and she also rejected her claim that I was the 'Secret Wag'. But as for the rest of her judgement, she got it wrong and this is something I cannot accept."
Vardy also called for abuse given to her and her family to stop now that "the case is over".
"As I explained in my evidence I, my family and even my unborn baby, were subjected to disgusting messages and vile abuse following Coleen's post and these have continued even during the course of the trial," she added.
"Please can the people who have been abusing me and my family now stop. The case is over. I want to thank everyone who has supported me."
Meanwhile, Rooney said she was "pleased" the ruling went in her favour, but she "never believed" the case should have gone to court "at such expense in times of hardship for so many people when the money could have been far better spent helping others". She said it was "not a case I ever sought or wanted".
Her statement continued: "Both before and after my social media posts in October 2019, I made every effort to avoid the need for such a drawn-out and public court case. All my attempts to do so were knocked back by Mrs (Rebekah) Vardy.
"This left me with no alternative but to go through with the case to defend myself and to end the repeated leaking of my private information to The Sun.
"These leaks from my private Instagram account began in 2017. They continued for almost two years, intruding on my privacy and that of my family.
"Although I bear Mrs Vardy no ill-will, today's judgment makes clear that I was right in what I said in my posts of October 2019.
"Finally, I would like to thank all of my legal team, my family, friends and everyone who supported me, including the public, through this difficult and stressful time."

[@freddiejohnson6137]

Devastated that she was caught gossiping about things and selling the information to papers? She even admitted to doing it multiple other times but this time it wasn't her right? This is what happens when you marry someone rich and have too much time on your hands just sitting at home.

[@willnash568]

so it Jamie vardy Fault, it the husband fault hey, sounds like your saying oh if you married a honest man causal man u not be in this mess.. this mess is all on her buddy... why do people always some how got to bring up husband when their woman f up...

[@mikahong]

Ye how tf is this Jamie's fault, plus regardless of class this kind of backstabbing, gossiping, and violation of privacy is common in women and female friendships/colleagues. I would know, I am a woman myself.

[@ardtob]

Honestly if their husbands are not public figures, this would be just normal neighbors wives gossips and normal beefs. Really stupid, waste of money, energy and time. The lawyers are the ones benefited from this earning million dollar for nothing.

I’d be devastated too if I spent 3 million to humiliate myself publicly 🤔

[@chrisspellman8545]

I'm surprised she's devastated as it was clear to anyone even before the case went to court who was telling the truth! I can't believe how stupid some people are. She goes to court even though she knows she's lying just to save face for her ego and it could cost her hubby 1 million quid! She should have said nothing when Colleen accused her and people would have forgot about it in a day or two, nobody cares! she obviously thinks she's way more important than she actually is, when in reality she's a nobody who just happened to marry a footballer🙄

She is devestated - GOOD! I hope she has to pay court costs as well. I bet all her friends are thinking, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. If she risked financial ruin, she must have been so cock sure she was going to win the case. Good on you Coleen for playing a blinder on instagram. Not many people give you credit for the amazing mum/person you are. I call it jealousy and as for Vardy, Karma has finally hit home.
