By William On Oct 13, 2023

Wayne Rooney broke his silence the moment he learned of his wife Coleen’s post on Wagatha Christie’s Instagram.

In Coleen’s new documentary Disney+: The Real Wagatha Story, Birmingham’s new city manager, 37, describes how his wife, also 37, kept her super investigation under wraps as she tried to figure out how information from her personal Instagram was leaked to The Sun.

The explosive trailer dropped on Friday, ahead of the streaming platform’s launch next Wednesday, and VAG revealed what her arch-rival Rebecca Vardy sent her after she put up her infamous “It’s… Rebecca Vardy’s account” post.

In an excerpt from Wayne’s sit-down interview, the footballer says: ‘What has she done here?’

The interview is interspersed with footage of Wayne accompanying Colin to the High Court in London every day as the VAG war turned into a bitter legal battle.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Coleen says that Rebecca contacted her after she put up her Vagatha Christie post.

She says: “I had a text from Rebekah saying ‘what’s this?’

‘I was like you know what this is.’

Between September 2017 and October 2019, The Sun published numerous articles about Coleen, including her traveling to Mexico to investigate ‘sex selection’ treatment for babies, her plan to revive her TV career and her basement flooding.

But on October 9, 2019, Coleen shared a stunning Instagram post revealing that she had been sharing fake stories and limiting viewers to just one person to see if they ended up in the papers. The goal was to detect the leak.

The iconic bottom line read: ‘It’s … Rebecca Vardy’s account’. The public dispute is making headlines around the world, with the hashtag #VagathaChristie trending.

Rebecca took Coleen to the High Court for defamation and vehemently denied leaking the stories. Vardy lost the case with a judge ruling that the allegation against her was “substantially true”.

Wayne’s inclusion in the documentary will provide an interesting insight into how the VAG war unfolded.

The football player was detained as a witness during the explosives trial.

While on the stand, Wayne said Coleen had become ‘a different mother and a different woman’ during the three-year saga.

The footballer also revealed that England manager Roy Hodgson asked him to ask Jamie Vardy to ask his wife Rebecca to “calm down” during Euro 2016 in France.

Asked by David Sherborne, Colin’s lawyer, if he wanted to be in court for six days supporting his wife, Rooney replied: “I don’t think anybody wants to be in court, but for me and my wife, we don’t want to be in court . I’ve watched my wife over the last two, two and a half years, really struggle with everything that’s happened… she’s become a different mother, a different wife.

“It was really traumatic for my wife to go through this situation.” I hope whatever the verdict is… me my wife, our children can go on and live our lives. This is not something we wanted to be a part of.’

Wayne also revealed that he heard most of the information about the case for the first time during a “long” week in the High Court.

He said: “Sitting in this courtroom this week is the first time I have heard almost everything about this case. It’s been a long week. This is the first time I’ve heard anything about this case.’

Colin was awarded costs by the court, and £800,000 of the total was paid immediately.

Rebecca scored one of the worst own goals in British legal history after a High Court judge dismissed her evidence as “evasive or implausible” and accused her of deliberately deleting WhatsApp messages crucial to the case.

Her agent, Caroline Watt, is also accused of deliberately throwing the phone into the North Sea. During the trial, some of Rebecca’s personal texts to her Caroline were read.

Coleen said: “The texts made me sick. They were just another level. While I was reading them I thought: the evil and hatred they harbored towards someone they don’t even know.’

Although Coleen doesn’t seem to hold any ill will towards Rebecca, she said: “I’m a forgive and forget person, I can’t be bothered with things that happen and last. But this is obviously completely different.’

‘You can’t go wrong if you tell the truth.’

Wagatha Christie Timeline: How Colin and Rebecca’s War Played Out

From September 2017 to October 2019 – The Sun publishes a number of false articles about Coleen, which she claimed she only shared with Vardy in a ‘sting’ operation, including that she traveled to Mexico to investigate ‘sex selection’ treatment for babies, her plan to revive her TV career and the flooding of her basement.

October 9, 2019 – Colin uses social media to accuse Rebecca of selling stories to the tabloids from her private Instagram account. That prompts #VagathaChristie to start trending.

February 13, 2020 – In a tearful appearance on ITV’s Loose Women, Rebecca says the stress of the row led to severe anxiety attacks and ‘ended up in hospital three times’.

June 23, 2020 – It turns out that Rebecca has filed a defamation case against Colleen.

19-20. november 2020 – The defamation battle has its first hearing at the High Court in London. The judge ruled that Colleen’s October 2019 post “clearly identified” Rebecca as “guilty of a serious and consistent breach of trust”.

Mr Justice Warby concluded that the “natural and ordinary” meaning of the posts was that Rebecca “regularly and frequently abused her status as a trusted follower of Coleen’s personal Instagram account by secretly informing The Sun of Coleen’s private posts and stories”.

8-9. February 2022 – A series of explosive messages between Rebecca and her agent Caroline Watt – which Coleen’s lawyers claim were about her – were revealed at a preliminary court hearing.

Coleen’s lawyers are seeking further information from the WhatsApp messages, but the court was told Ms Watt’s phone fell into the North Sea after the boat she was on hit a wave, before any further information could be extracted from it.

February 14 – Coleen was denied permission to bring a High Court action against Mrs Watt for misuse of private information to be heard alongside the defamation battle. High Court judge Ms Steyn says the bid was made too late and earlier opportunities to file a claim were not taken.

April 13 – Ms Watt is not fit to give oral evidence at the upcoming defamation trial, the High Court was told, as the case returns for a new hearing.

May 10 onwards – The trial is ongoing.

July 29 – Rebecca loses her defamation case against Colleen, with a judge ruling that the accusation against her is ‘substantially true’.
