The ‘Wagatha Christie’ saga and trial was one of the stupidest moments of British popular culture history right from the word go as it was clearly obvious to anyone with a brain/passing knowledge of how social media works that Rebekah Vardy was a grass, but she’s still out there maintaining her innocence even after being found guilty in a court of law.

Apparently her next move in pursuing this narrative is to obtain the copyright for the phrase ‘Wagatha Christie’ which means that any time the phrase is used in the UK she will have to be asked permission, be that in a TV show, on merchandise or whatever else there might be. I’m not really sure how that promotes her innocence as it just kinda looks she’s buying it so that she can ban anyone from ever using it again in the vague hopes that it might slip from the public consciousness. Maybe I’m wrong though.

Anyway, here’s what a source – most likely Rebekah Vardy herself lol – had to say about it:

This trademark is Becky’s two fingers to Coleen and all the misery associated with “Wagatha Christie”.

Becky is shrewd and knew people would try to cash in on the phrase.

She now owns the UK trademark and would consider expanding it to other territories if she thought it was needed.

If someone wants to print the logo on a mug, for example, they would be infringing the trademark if they didn’t ask permission.

Or if someone wanted to use the phrase to promote a documentary or a film, they would have to ask to use it as they would be exploiting the phrase for monetary gain.

It is a legal grey area in some respects, however, and will be done on a case-by-case basis.

I mean is it shrewd? It kinda seems like the saga is over and it probably would have been a good idea to get it copyrighted straight away – or at least before that TV show last Christmas aired – if she actually wanted to stop people talking about it or make some money off it. Literally nobody mentions it anymore.

If anything, this whole little stunt is making people talk about it more than ever and kinda makes me think Rebekah Vardy is even more of an idiot than I thought she was rather than ‘shrewd’. Deluded.
