The spectre of Wagatha Christie has risen from the grave once more, as Coleen Rooney delivered a fresh, pointed jab at her longtime rival Rebekah Vardy. The latest chapter in their seemingly endless feud unfolded not in a courtroom, but in the digital arena of social media, proving the bitter fallout from their explosive legal battle remains very much alive.
The Instagram Post That Lit the Fuse
It all began when Coleen shared a promotional post for the Disney+ documentary chronicling their infamous court case. A follower commented, suggesting the ordeal had been a 'publicity stunt' orchestrated by Rebekah Vardy. Coleen's response was swift and dripping with sarcasm: "She needs the money and fame, hun."
This seemingly casual remark sent shockwaves through their followers, instantly reviving memories of one of Britain's most sensational celebrity clashes. The comment served as a stark reminder that while the gavels have fallen, the personal animosity continues to simmer just below the surface.
A Rivalry Forged in Leaks and Legal Battles
For those needing a refresher, the 'Wagatha Christie' saga began in 2019 when Coleen Rooney, wife of football legend Wayne, executed a masterful social media sting operation. After suspecting private stories from her Instagram were being leaked to the press, she planted false information visible only to one person: Rebekah Vardy.
When The Sun newspaper published the fabricated stories, Coleen dropped the now-legendary tweet: "It's......... Rebekah Vardy's account." The resulting defamation case saw both women and their partners dragged through the High Court in a spectacle that captivated the nation.
The Aftermath and Unhealed Wounds
Despite Rebekah Vardy losing the case and being left with an estimated £3 million legal bill, it appears the financial and emotional costs have done little to bridge the divide between the two women. Coleen's latest dig suggests the wounds remain raw and the rivalry as potent as ever.
This new exchange confirms what many suspected: the Wagatha Christie story is far from over. It continues to play out in the court of public opinion, with social media serving as the new battleground for their ongoing war of words.
