Rebekah had sued Coleen, alleging she leaked details of Coleen’s private life to the press after Coleen staged an elaborate sting operation to find out who was feeding stories about her to The Sun.
She told Vogue how she hatched a plot to thwart the person who leaked stories by posting fake stories on her private account and making them visible only to Rebekah’s account, but she didn’t tell anyone what she was planning. even a lawyer.
Coleen said: “I feel like a lot of people still don’t understand what happened, from start to finish. But what I said in that post still stands by me today.”
The WAG revealed that her plan to publicly share the leaker on Instagram in October 2019 was entirely her own.
She said: ‘During the night I started thinking about what I was going to do. I just wanted these stories to stop.”
But she didn’t launch the Notes app classically at 3am?
She laughed. ‘No. I like pen and paper – a pencil and rubber actually, so I can rub it out. So I started writing what I wanted to say and the next morning I put it out there. That was the start of something I never expected.”
Coleen said she didn’t tell anyone what she was going to do. ‘No. [The part] my friends and family were the most surprised about me [for was] put up the mail.”

She didn’t show it to Wayne or her mother, nor, despite much suspicion, to a lawyer. She woke up, typed it up and posted it on the internet. Then she took Kai and one of his friends indoor skydiving.
Feeling empowered and relieved that she had kept her plans to go public a secret, she said: “If I want to go tanning – and I know I’m going to be talked out of it – then I’m just going to do it.” . It. I didn’t want anyone to tell me not to do it.’
Coleen admitted she was shocked when Rebekah said she was consulting lawyers. Rooney was immediately shocked.
She had not legalized her statement in advance and had assumed that it was permissible to report what had happened to her.
She said: ‘You see people on social media calling people names in such nasty ways and I thought I wasn’t that mean.’ But her stomach turned.
Adding, “I’ve never been in a lawsuit before, so for me it was scary. What a terrible experience. What I dreaded most was a lawsuit.’
Coleen was both concerned and furious that she had been ‘taken to court’, saying: ‘I found it hard not to show it.
Real talk: Wayne accompanied Coleen to the trial – but she said: ‘It’s been a struggle at times. I look at [any] situation we find ourselves in and think, “Can we get rid of that? Is it worth getting rid of?” I’m not just going to give up
She told Vogue how she had hatched a plot to thwart the person who had been leaking stories, but had not told anyone what she was planning to do, not even a lawyer.
‘It was so strange that first day, really sitting on a bench together. It was so hard in that courtroom… especially seeing her on the stand. It was quite painful. I felt uncomfortable.
“Obviously she was going through it. ‘I thought, “Why did you put yourself in this position?” It wasn’t fun to watch. To this day she cannot understand why Vardy took her to court. She’s ‘strange’.’
And she revealed how she found out she had won the case.
She said: ‘I had to come out to take the phone call, so I’m sitting in my car in the middle of Manchester on an industrial estate. David Sherborne, her lawyer, came on the line and said, ‘We won,’ he said without any build-up.”
She laughed, “I think I just cursed for the whole fifteen minutes.
“It was quite surreal how many people followed it. Not just football players or girls. It felt like everyone was reading about it. All ages, all types.
‘The positivity I got from it… I’m certainly happy about that.’
Coleen was awarded legal costs by the court and £800,000 of the total amount owed was immediately due and payable.
