Things are really heating up in the Wagatha Christie trial today as not only did Wayne Rooney take to the stand and reveal that he had to tell Jamie Vardy off at the behest of England manager Roy Hodgson at Euro 2016 due to his wife’s gossiping about player’s private lives, but now Colleen Rooney’s infamous Instagram stories have finally been revealed to the court.

Back when Rooney originally revealed that Rebekah Vardy had been leaking stories about her life to The Sun, she claimed that she made a bunch of fake Instagram stories and Vardy’s account was the only one that had viewed them, implying that she was the only person who could have possibly given the information to the newspaper. These stories included one about Colleen’s house flooding; being involved in a crash in America when she lived over there whilst Rooney played for D.C. United; and flying to Mexico to find out about ‘gender selection’ whilst she was desperate to have a daughter.
We’ve never actually seen the screenshots until now, but they were shown to the court today and look about as boring as you would imagine:
Lol, they’re all so basic aren’t they? Suppose you can appreciate why Rebekah Vardy was so easily fooled by them when she saw them and couldn’t resist leaking the information to the press. I guess we know who that ‘source close to the subject matter’ that The Sun always quotes is now.
Of course, the smoking gun here should be that you can quite clearly see that Rebekah Vardy’s is the only account to have viewed to the story. I suppose Vardy could argue those could have been taken at a time straight after when they were posted and nobody else had seen them, but it seems highly unlikely that could have happened with each one.
Guess there’s also the argument that it might not have been Vardy herself who leaked them as her agent Caroline Watt also has access to the account, but given the WhatsApp messages between the two that have been highlighted during the trial, you kinda get the feeling that they’re both shit stirring little snakes and are definitely in it together. Can’t really see how Vardy isn’t going to lose this trial – which bizarrely was her idea – but I suppose there’s the whole idea that the Rooneys can’t prove it 100% beyond reasonable doubt. It does seem very obvious what’s going on here though.
For more of the same, check out some of the highlights of the trial so far. Some really basic stuff going on.
