What is Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney’s Twitter spat about?
Coleen and Rebekah hit the headlines on October 9, 2019 after becoming embroiled in a very public spat over accusations of ‘leaked stories.’
Wayne’s wife told her 1.2 million followers that Rebekah had been giving The Sun information about her “private posts and stories”.
She said she suspected Rebekah, wife of Leicester City’s Jamie, and turned detective to try and find out who was leaking stories “without her permission or knowledge”.
Coleen changed her Instagram settings so only a limited number of people could see her ‘stories’ and then fabricated false tales to see if they were picked up by the Press.
When they were, she decided Rebekah must be the culprit, something the pregnant WAG has strongly denied.
Each of the stories provided to The Sun was put to Coleen’s representatives before publication and on each occasion they declined to comment.
Coleen’s original post has been “liked” more than 89,000 times.
But not one to take it lying down, Rebekah was quick to deny the accusations, tagging Coleen in a post and questioning:
“I’m not being funny but I don’t need the money, what would I gain from selling stories on you?”
She finished her impassioned statement saying ” You should have called me the first time this happened,” which she accompanied with a heartbreak emoji.

What is Rebekah and Coleen’s friendship history?
It’s not known exactly how close the Wags were beyond supporting their husbands on the pitch.
But we do know that in 2016 the girls were snapped looking chummy, sitting close to each other at a UEFA Euro football game.
Plus the fact that Coleen allowed and “trusted” Rebekah to follow her personal account indicates that they had some form of friendship.
Though beyond this and a few pics from footballing events, little is known about the extent of their friendship.

Are Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy friends?
Wayne and Jamie are said to have had a friendship beyond both playing for the England team.
Back in 2016, during the Euros, there had been reports of frostiness between the two players caused by Wayne’s annoyance at Rebekah’s high profile.
However any rumours of a spat were quashed by manager Roy Hodgson who intervened in a question posed to Rooney about Ms.Vardy.
He said: “I will answer for Wayne. There are no problems between Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy.
“They are good friends and this is a salacious story that has been spun.”
