Coleen Rooney likes fan’s tweet slamming Rebekah Vardy’s vile plot to use her disabled late sister Rosie to further story leaking deception
Colin Rooney has liked a fan’s tweet which alludes to Rebecca Vardy’s plans to use her late disabled sister Rosie to boost her leak story.
On Wednesday, the 37-year-old Wagga made headlines following the release of her Disney+ documentary Colin Rooney: The True Wagga Story, a limited series chronicling her legal battle with the footballer’s wife, 41.
In 2019, Coleen publicly accused Rebecca of publishing stories from her personal Instagram account in The Sun newspaper, leading to a High Court battle, in which private WhatsApps revealed Rebecca’s references to Coleen’s sister.
Amidst Coleen’s three-year quest to uncover a ‘snitch’ on her private account, she unfollowed Rebecca – who was revealed to have texted her agent Caroline Watt to say she should ‘say something about Rose’ in order to get back into Colin.
Colleen’s parents Colette and Tony McLaughlin took Rosie in as a foster child when she was two before later adopting her. She passed away at the age of 14 in 2013 after a lifelong battle with Rett syndrome, a rare disorder that causes severe disabilities.

Heartbreaking: On Wednesday, Wagatha, 37, hit the headlines following the release of her Disney+ documentary Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, a limited series chronicling her legal battle with her footballer husband, 41.

The Wagatha Christie story has dominated headlines for years, and Colleen finally told her side of the story in a Disney+ documentary.
After explaining how she realized Rebecca was to blame for the leak, she revealed her first instinct was to simply unfollow the star – thus removing Rebecca as one of the followers on Cole’s account.
Soon after, Coleen revealed she was approached by Rebecca, who texted her saying: ‘Hi my love… hope you’re ok?… I saw you unfollowed me…
“And I unfollowed you on Instagram… I just wanted to ask… Did I do anything or offend you in any way?”, after which Coleen stated: “I just thought… you” so duplicitous’, into the camera.
Coleen then read a message from Rebecca Caroline, saying: “I never usually text her and say hello. Maybe I should say something about Rosie.
Disgusted, Colleen said of the dastardly plan: “Planning to make a story that will make me respond is one thing, but using my sister who has passed away is just…wrong.”
Earlier in the documentary, Coleen broke down in tears while discussing Rosie.
While explaining why VAG struggles to open up about her concerns, Colette revealed that it stemmed from growing up caring about Rosie.

Touching@ The McLaughlins took Rosie in as foster children when she was two and while they previously only provided respite care, Coleen noticed that “Rosie was different”
Collette shared: “Colin keeps things to himself. She doesn’t want to be a burden on me and I can relate that to Rosie. She was so special.’
The McLaughlins took Rosie in as foster children when she was two and while they had previously only provided care, Colleen noticed that “Rosie was different”.
She explained: “When Rosie came she was a big part of our lives. She was the sister I never thought I’d have.’
Speaking to her mother and father Tony, she continued: “I used to do her hair and I loved picking out clothes with my mum for her. She brought that little extra to the house. We fell in love with her.’
However, the family soon realized that Rosie was struggling with her development, and after a series of hospital tests, she was diagnosed with Rett syndrome.
Colin explained: ‘Rosie, she fought. She couldn’t walk or talk and would be in pain and sick, but she still put a smile on her face.
“Sometimes she had a habit of forcing herself to smile.” I think it was just to make mom and dad happy. Gradually, her brain stopped working and she could no longer eat, talk, move.’
Rosie needed 24-hour care and after suffering “a lot of complications” and being admitted to intensive care, Colette revealed the family decided to bring her home to spend her final days surrounded by her loved ones.
“We had a sleepover, a last sleepover, all together,” she explained. ‘And then we had a big party to celebrate her life.’

A tearful Coleen said: ‘Losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to anyone, but when you look back, she gave us so many good years of happiness and love.’
Revealing the impact Rosie’s death had on her 10 years later, Colleen explained: ‘Because of the things that have happened in my life, I try to be strong for others.
“I don’t want people to worry about me when they have other things going on in their lives, but sometimes I can snap.”
Collette went on to suggest that her daughter didn’t fully process the pain she went through until she was in America when Wayne moved to DC United.
She explained: “It’s been 10 years and Coleen has never really talked about it. She had a lot of time in America, so she had to think a lot then.
“But she hides a lot, so it’s hard to tell what’s going on in her head.”
