Coleen Rooney has reportedly signed a multi-million pound deal with Disney Plus to release a documentary about the Wagatha Christie saga.
Coleen Rooney has reportedly signed a deal with Disney Plus for the rights to a new documentary.
The wife of former footballer Wayne Rooney recently won a libel case brought by former pal Rebekah Vardy over an Instagram post in which Coleen accused Rebekah's account of leaking false stories about her to the press - and now a new report suggests the story is to be retold in a documentary for Disney Plus after Coleen landed a lucrative deal for the rights.
A source told The Sun: "This is a massive deal for Coleen ... She is also getting across her own side of the story in terms of Wagatha Christie.
"Since her first damning social media post outing Rebekah, she has remained steadfastly silent.
"Now the public will see first hand the toll this whole case took on her, and her family — and why she took the action she took."
The publication reports the show is being made by the same production company which made a documentary about her husband Wayne - titled 'Rooney' - last year and Coleen signed the deal with Disney Plus following a bidding war with rivals Amazon Prime, Netflix and Discovery.
According to The Sun, cameras filming for the documentary have been following Coleen for months and the show will give viewers "unfiltered access" from behind-the-scenes.
Coleen, 36, had publicly claimed that "Rebekah Vardy's account" was the source behind three fake stories she had posted on her private Instagram page - of which Rebekah was an approved follower - and was dubbed 'Wagatha Christie' for her social media probing, a reference to the term 'WAGS' which is an acronym used to refer to wives and girlfriends of high-profile sportsmen.
Rebekah - who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy - sued Coleen for libel after she accused her of leaking "false stories" to the media in an explosive social media post, but a judge ruled against Rebekah.
In the High Court verdict delivered in July, judge Mrs Justice Steyn ruled that it was "likely" that Rebekah's then-agent Caroline Watt "undertook the direct act" of passing information on but that her client was aware. The judge said: "Nonetheless, the evidence clearly shows, in my view, that Mrs Vardy knew of and condoned this behaviour, actively engaging in it by directing Ms Watt to the private Instagram account, sending her screenshots of Mrs Rooney's posts, drawing attention to items of potential interest to the press, and answering additional queries raised by the press via Ms Watt." "In my judgment, the conclusions that I have reached as to the extent to which the claimant engaged in disclosing to The Sun information to which she only had access as a permitted follower of an Instagram account which she knew, and Mrs Rooney repeatedly asserted, was private, suffice to show the single meaning is substantially true."
