London – Few cases in the UK have sparked press and social media action as long as it’s a famous beef that ended last week, which has become one of the most followed cases in the country.
The parties facing off in court are married to Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney, two English football stars, their childhood’s worst enemies, who accuse each other of leaking their personal information to The Sun.
The accuser lost the act, but everyone was scorched in an epic resembling a movie plot.
Celebrity bullshit exposes celebrity media ties
Beef exposed controversial practices in celebrities’ dealings with the media and showed how easy it is to manipulate a section of the press to achieve a goal.
Just feed your insatiable hunger for special news – even if it’s achieved in a less than laudable way. And in some cases, it was offered for money as suggested, but not proven.
Coleen is married to Wayne Rooney, who shines at Manchester United. In sophisticated Portofino, Italy, the link between the two has been “sold” to OK! For £2.5 million.
He has worked as a famous columnist and on television. Therefore, understand how celebrity media works.
Rebekah is the wife of Jamie Vardy from Leicester. The athletes were from the English football team and the two appeared together at events and in the stands.
Until in 2019, Coleen realized that the information published on her Instagram account, which she closed, was frequently featured in The Sun newspaper.
In one espionage act, he posted three false information and adjusted the settings so that they could only be seen by the trapped “friend”. All three stories were published in The Sun.
One was even stupid, a leak in the basement of the house. But for the tabloids, every sigh of a non-public celebrity is worth a spark.
Because of the trick, the beef became known as “Wagatha Christie”, in reference to the mysterious author and phrase. shake (inside wives and girlfriends), invented by tabloids to refer to other players.
How do celebrities and normals deal with the media?
This is where the difference in coping with such a situation begins, if this had happened to a “normal” person, it might not have produced the same result.
In October 2019, Coleen Rooney tweeted about her spy story and its outcome.
The former friend did not directly blame, but the only account that saw these posts… Rebekah announced that Vardy was eight months pregnant at the time.
For those who did not want to accompany their lives, this was a dubious move. He could have ended the friendship in secret and the story didn’t turn into nonsense because even if he won the case, he was impressed.
The media did not allow the case to cool. Every new proposal was shared and commented on social media as if it were a soap opera. And it was. Many affinities arose.
But the worst was yet to come. Had the case stood there, it would have turned cold and few today would remember the story. However, to the surprise of many people, the accused decided to sue the accuser for defamation.
Anyone working with crisis management must have had to pre-assess the risk of opening such a process. Even winning may not pay off for the bleeding.
There was evidence in Vardy’s case that he had leaked it through his agent and friend Caroline Watt, who was unlikely to do so either directly or without his consent.
The fall was complete, with accusations of treason and destruction of evidence. A phone would be thrown overboard to avoid being handed over to the authorities. Three years of bad publicity.

To prove that the friendship wasn’t sincere, the defense received a WhatsApp message from Vardy referring to Coleen as “filthy bitch”. Pure elegance.
A week ago the writer was defeated and came out £3m poorer from his bravado.
For Judge Karen Steyn, Rooney proved the gist of the case was “largely correct.”
And Vardy’s claims were considered “inconsistent, evasive or unreasonable.” One of them, suggested by people close to him, was that the account was hacked.
Is it worth suing?
One of the most discussed aspects before and after the verdict was that Rebekah Vardy faced a legal battle with little chance of winning.
More than money lost, he set a bad example and was abandoned by his friends. Who would want to befriend a blatantly inconsiderate person?
And for those living in the world of celebrities like Vardy, beef will be costly, losing invitations or ties to brands.
The story, which is set to become a movie, raises the issue of extremism on social networks, even in private groups.
Anyone who dares to say everything that happens in their life is exposed to deliberate, deliberate or accidental leaks, as in this case.
In the midst of the turmoil, the Sun was least affected. Like other tabloids, social media lives on leaks long before it existed. And if he had paid for the news as suggested, this wouldn’t be the first time.
But networks may be making things a little easier and exacerbating the frenzy around the game of notoriety and influence. In the case of Wagatha Christie, it’s a game with no winners, and it seems to have too much time.
Developments and speculations, especially compensation, continue in newspapers and social networks.
Not even Agatha Christie would invent such a conspiracy.
