Public Disagreement
In 2019, Coleen Rooney made a public statement on Twitter. She explained that private posts from her Instagram account were being shared with a newspaper. To find out who was leaking the stories, she secretly limited who could see her posts. She then revealed that only one account, belonging to Rebekah Vardy, had seen these specific posts.
This public disagreement became very famous and was nicknamed "Wagatha Christie." This name combines the football term WAG (for wives and girlfriends of footballers) with the name of mystery writer Agatha Christie.
Rebekah Vardy denied the claims. The disagreement eventually led to a court case. In 2022, a judge ruled that Coleen Rooney's claims were mostly true.
