The documentary will be produced by Lorton Entertainment, the company behind a program made this year about her ex-footballer husband, Wayne. It will follow the court case and the road to it, which left Vardy facing a multi-million pound payout to Rooney, following a verdict in which Ms Justice Steyn referred to Vardy’s evidence as often “inconsistent”, “evasive ” or “unfounded”. . Rooney, after undergoing a sting operation, claimed Vardy was leaking stories to the Sun from her private Instagram account. Vardy, who still denies the allegations, subsequently sued Rooney for defamation. Disney+’s statement said “the three-part series will take viewers from the circumstances leading up to her infamous Instagram post that ‘broke the internet’ to Coleen’s successful prosecution.” He added: “In a story for our time, Wagatha Christie will reveal how determined and resilient Coleen had to be to protect her family from the challenges presented by traditional landscapes and social media.” The program offers Rooney a chance to tell her side of the story, throughout which she has remained silent outside the witness box. She will also talk about her teenage years and her experience of marrying one of Britain’s most high profile footballers.
