‘Documentary planned about Wags’ libel case’
FRIEND OF COLEEN SAYS TALKS WELL ADVANCED
REBEKAH Vardy’s legal battle with fellow Wag Coleen Rooney is reportedly to be the subject of a documentary.
City striker Jamie Vardy’s wife, 39, is suing the wife of Wayne Rooney, after she was publicly accused by Coleen for leaking stories to the press from a private Instagram account.
But the 35-year-old reportedly wants to let the public “make their own minds up” on the matter, with filming rumoured to start in the new year.
A friend said Coleen will present all her evidence of the feud with Rebekah in the documentary, in which she apparently plans to be “front and centre”.
The libel trial in the High Court is due to start in the summer and producer Lorton Entertainment is said to be in “very advanced talks” over the film, which may be streamed on Netflix or Amazon, reports Mail Online.
The company is currently producing a documentary on Wayne.
Coleen’s row with Rebekah began in October 2019 when Coleen posted her accusations about the leaks.
A friend of Coleen told the Mirror: “Coleen has remained quiet ever since that famous online post.
“But this could all change in what could be the TV event of the year.
“Viewers would see all the evidence that Coleen has forensically gathered via her online sleuthing and see why she is convinced that Rebekah leaked the stories about her and others.
“She is minded to get it all out into the pubic domain and let people make their own minds up. Talks are very well advanced.
“Coleen is thinking long and hard about her next steps and the time could be right to stick her head above the parapet.
“She feels she has a very strong case and wants to share it with the world.
“There is no doubt that Coleen is upping the stakes and then some, and it will be interesting to see how Rebekah reacts.
“But Coleen is on a mission and is passionate about what she believes in.”
The judge in the libel battle has repeatedly urged both women to come to a resolution to avoid a full-blown court case. But both are refusing to back down and the trial next summer is set to run over several days.
The libel case could cost the losing party millions.
Coleen’s lawyers have said her legal bill will be £537,000, while Rebekah’s is estimated to be £838,000.
It has not been confirmed whether the film would be shown before, during or after the case. A spokesman for Coleen Rooney could not be reached for comment.
