If you’re a regular social media user, you’ll know that there’s never any shortage of juicy celeb beef to feast on. However, this very public ‘gotcha!’ involving two UK WAGS really takes the cake.
Coleen Rooney, the wife of footballer Wayne Rooney, took to social media yesterday to drop a huge bombshell about fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy and how she had gotten to the bottom of her dodgy behaviour.
According to Rooney, over the past few years “someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing The Sun newspaper of my private posts and stories.”
Instead of going private or posting a bunch of angry captions, Rooney went full true crime podcast and investigated each and every one of her followers.
“I came up with an idea. I blocked everyone from viewing my Instagram stories except ONE account,” she wrote in the lengthy post. “Over the past five months I have posted a series of false stories to see if they made their way into the Sun newspaper. And you know what, they did!”
Rooney confirmed, “now I know for certain which account/individual it’s come from….it’s Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
MIC DROP.
Vardy, who is the wife of Rooney’s teammate Jamie Vardy, has since responded to the accusation, explaining on Instagram, “I never speak to anyone about you as various journalists who have asked me to over the years can vouch for.”
“Over the years various people have had access to my Insta and just this week I found I was following people I didn’t know and have never followed myself,” she wrote. “I’m not being funny but I don’t need the money, what would I gain from selling stories on you?”
Vardy said she wishes Rooney had called her about the situation and added “I’m so upset that you have chosen to do this, especially when I’m heavily pregnant.”
TBH, it sounds like Rooney’s investigation was pretty foolproof and I’m not the only one who thinks she’s need a role on CSI: Miami, stat.
We’ll be waiting patiently for that true crime documentary.
