Rebekah Vardy has been ordered to pay 90 per cent of Coleen Rooney's legal fees
Rebekah Vardy has hit out at Coleen Rooney in a scathing Instagram rant after she was told she would need to pay 90 per cent of her legal fees by next month, following the ' Wagatha Christie ' libel case. The WAG went on to brand the situation a "whole embarrassing spectacle" as she opened up on Instagram.
She also posted another quote to her Instagram which read: "It's always the ones with the dirty hands pointing the fingers." Back in July, Mrs Vardy, 40, lost her high-profile libel claim against Mrs Rooney, 36, when Mrs Justice Steyn ruled that Mrs Rooney's viral social media post accusing Mrs Vardy of leaking her private information to the press was "substantially true".
A court document obtained by The Mirror revealed that Coleen wanted 100 per cent of her legal fees reimbursed but Rebekah wanted to pay the sum of 80 per cent after the judge had found in her favour for several matters disputed at the trial. The document goes on to state that the defendant had originally sought payment of £1.25million but this figure was later dropped to £ 1 million.
A statement from Coleen's lawyer, Paul Lunt at Brabners issued to The Mirror, read: "The High Court has today decided that Rebekah Vardy must pay Coleen Rooney's legal costs on an indemnity basis - the highest basis that the Court could order. "The reasoning given for this decision is that there was a finding at trial that Rebekah Vardy had deliberately deleted or destroyed evidence.
