Rebekah Vardy says her experience during the “Wagatha Christie” legal dispute left her feeling she “wouldn’t be here today,” adding that she “didn’t want to be here any more.” Speaking about the period surrounding her libel case against Coleen Rooney, Vardy describes what she calls harsh treatment during the fallout from the case.
The comments come as Vardy reflects on events that followed her 2022 libel loss to Rooney. In both reports, Vardy’s central claim is that she was subjected to treatment she compares to something “worse than a paedophile,” describing the emotional impact of public scrutiny and the wider ordeal connected to the case.
Neither outlet provides new court findings in these reports, but both frame Vardy’s remarks as part of her explanation of how the dispute affected her well-being after the outcome in 2022. The reporting also places her statements in the context of the broader Wagatha Christie controversy and its lasting public attention.
