Rebekah Vardy’s legal battle with Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy is still ongoing as Jamie’s wife contests the decision to overthrow Coleen’s legal team’s handling of the case.
As she prepares to take Coleen Rooney to court again over the eye-watering Wagatha costs, Rebekah Vardy’s bank balance could be set to take another hit.
At a hearing in November of last year, the 43-year-old’s attorneys argued that Coleen’s legal team’s alleged “deliberately understated” her costs, leading to a reduction in the amount of legal costs due to her rival.
Rebekah is now contesting the ruling, which was based on a judge’s earlier finding that no misconduct had been made. Rebekah launched a libel lawsuit against the Liverpudlian after her infamous tweet, and Wayne Rooney’s wife and the couple went to war in court. Coleen consistently refuted this claim, saying that her Instagram account was the source of reports being leaked to the press.
The actors have had to dig in as the legal bills stack up, with Rebekah and Coleen claiming to have spent £1, 833, and 906.89 in a row. Rebekah’s attorney, Jamie Carpenter KC, claimed the outrageously high cost includes a bill for one of Coleen’s legal team to stay at the opulent Nobu Hotel. Rebekah’s attorney claims that the bill included “substantial dinner and drink charges as well as mini bar charges.” Mr. Carpenter remarked that Coleen’s team added every expense to the trial’s total, using an unfair method.
Rebekah reportedly has a personal net worth of around £3 million. She has since delved her toes into reality TV, appearing on the well-known ITV series I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2017 and Dancing on Ice in 2021. Rebekah is reportedly richer than her long-standing adversary Coleen, who reportedly has a fortune of £15 million. She reportedly received £1. 5 million last year for her appearance on I’m A Celeb.
Rebekah took a step back from the spotlight for a while in search of some solitude after the release of the Disney documentary Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story. She soon returned, though, sharing images of her lavish lifestyle via social media posts from lavish vacations in LA and the United Arab Emirates.
Mr. Carpenter had accused Coleen of “deliberately deceiving” the court by underestimating the time and costs involved in the case. Rebekah’s attorney argued that she shouldn’t be required to pay “expert fees” in the amount of £117,500 plus VAT, which were invoiced after the 2021 initial budget was agreed.
Rooney’s representative, Robin Dunne, claimed that “there has been no misconduct” and that it was “illogical to say that we have misled anyone.” Senior Costs Judge Andrew Gordon-Saker ruled in October that the case against Mrs. Rooney’s legal team was “not appropriate” because it was “on balance and, I must say, only just.”
