Coleen Rooney’s Instagram post accusing Rebekah Vardy of relaying stories about her personal life to the media clearly identified her as « guilty of the grave and persistent breach of trust she claims, » the High Court said in London decided.
Ms. Rooney, 34, accused Ms. Vardy, 38, of telling the media “false stories” about her personal life last October after performing months of “stabbing” surgery calling her “Wagatha Christie” has been. .
The wife of former English star Wayne Rooney alleged that Ms. Vardy, her soccer colleague’s wife, shared fake stories with The Sun newspaper that she posted on her personal Instagram account.
Ms. Rooney wrote on Instagram and Twitter: “I saved all of the original stories and took screenshots that clearly showed only one person viewed them. It is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Rebekah Vardy’s account. ”
In a judgment yesterday, Justice Warby ruled that the “natural and common” meaning of Ms. Rooney’s posts was that Ms. Vardy “had regularly and frequently abused her status as a trusted follower of Ms. Rooney’s personal Instagram account by she secretly informed The Sonnenzeitung of Ms. Rooney’s private posts and stories « .
The judge announced his decision, saying that the meaning he set « is essentially the same as the meaning of the applicant ». .

In its ruling, Justice Warby said that Ms. Rooney’s message was “a considered post, carefully worded,” adding, “The ordinary reader would understand from the start that it is serious and intended to be an important message convey. ”
He also denied Ms. Rooney’s claim that she was referring only to Ms. Vardy’s Instagram account and not Ms. Vardy herself.
The judge ruled, “I don’t think the ordinary reader would use this single word (account), if repeated, to indicate that Ms. Rooney continues to have doubts about who the culprit was. ”
He added, « Aside from the word ‘Account’, there is nothing in these words to suggest that the conduct Ms. Rooney is complaining about could have been carried out by anyone other than the Account Owner, Ms Vardy. ”
Mr. Justice Warby also ordered Ms. Rooney to have Ms. Vardy for the hearing on Thursday just under Jan. 23. 000 GBP (25. 770 EUR) in costs.
At that hearing, Ms. Vardy’s attorney Hugh Tomlinson QC said that Ms. Rooney’s positions were an « untrue and unjustified defamatory attack ». .
David Sherborne, who represented Ms. Rooney, argued that it was « true » that Ms. Vardy was « responsible for consistently relaying information to The Sun through the defendant’s private Instagram posts and stories ». .
The court also heard that both Ms. Vardy and Ms. Rooney had agreed to « stay » until February so that « one last attempt could be made to resolve the matter without full process ». .
