Rebekah Vardy says she was “treated worse than a paedophile” over the Wagatha Christie court cases and Coleen Rooney allegations.
The wife of footballer Jamie Vardy says she is now moving on from her clash with Coleen Rooney and subsequent multimillion pound court case.
But speaking to Vanity Fair she insisted her treatment was unfair and she insisted that she “got the raw end of that”.
“In fact, I think murderers and pedophiles have faced far less scrutiny than I did,” Vardy added.
When the court case took place a lot was made of the clothes Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney wore to court, with the majority of fashion experts judging Coleen to come out on top.
But Vardy insisted in the new interview she was not a typical wag when it came to clothes.

“I am polar opposite to what you would class as the typical WAG,” Vardy told Vanity Fair.
“I’m not bothered. I will go out head to toe in Zara where someone else’s wife or girlfriend has to be head to toe in Prada.”
In May a judge said Vardy must pay more than £1.4m of Coleen Rooney’s legal costs following their libel battle,
Coleen ran up a legal bill totalling more than £1.8m while successfully defending herself against
Mrs Vardy’s High Court claim in 2022.
After Mrs Vardy lost the case, court documents showed she had been ordered to pay 90% of Coleen’s costs.
Earlier on Tuesday, a specialist costs court was told that Vardy had agreed to pay £1.19m to Coleen, who was also asking for a further £315,000 in “assessment costs”.
Costs judge Mark Whalan then said it was “reasonable and proportionate” for Vardy to pay her an additional £212,266. This took the total to just over £1.4m, including interest.
Coleen publicly accused someone using Vardy’s Instagram account of leaking private information about her to the press.

Sparking headlines around the world for weeks, Coleen famously wrote on social media: “It’s ……….Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
Vardy sued her for libel, but Mrs Justice Steyn found in July 2022 that the allegation was “substantially true”.
The judge later ordered Mrs Vardy to pay 90% of Coleen’s costs
