Coleen Rooney announced on Twitter on October 9th, 2019, that posts from her private Instagram account had been leaked to The Sun newspaper.
Rooney confirmed that Rebekah Vardy’s account was the only one who saw these posts, implying that she was the one who did them. This tweet became known as ‘Wagatha Christie,’ a combination of the football phrase WAG and the mystery author Agatha Christie.
Vardy filed a defamation lawsuit against Rooney in June 2020.

Rooney has been called as a witness for his wife’s defense and is expected to be questioned about an alleged interaction with Jamie Vardy, his former England colleague, over Rebekah Vardy’s media dealings.
Wagatha Christie trial: Has Jamie Vardy been to court?
On day six of the ‘Wagatha Christie’ trial, an ongoing libel issue with Coleen Rooney, Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy joined his wife Rebekah Vardy in High Court for the first time.
The former England striker’s participation is all the more significant because his former international team-mate Wayne Rooney is set to testify on Tuesday in favor of his wife, who has “hated every minute” of the ordeal.
