Wagatha Christie

English libel dispute in 2019–2022

Wagatha Christie
Wagatha Christie is a popular name given to a dispute between the English media personalities Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney, which culminated in a 2022 libel case in the English High Court, Vardy v Rooney. In 2019, Rooney announced on Twitter that Vardy was secretly operating an Instagram account leaking posts from Rooney's private account to the newspaper The Sun. In 2020, Vardy sued Rooney for libel, and the case came to trial in London in May 2022. On 29 July, the court dismissed Vardy's claim on the basis that Rooney's statements were substantially true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagatha_Christie
