The reality TV celebrity and wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has appeared in her first TV interview since losing her high-profile High Court case. Ms Rooney was accused of her former social media boyfriend selling information from her Instagram account to the Sun, but the judge found the allegation was “substantially true”. On TalkTV, Ms Vardy was interviewed by journalist Kate McCann, who asked if she thought the media’s scrutiny of how she and Ms Rooney dressed during the trial was influenced by sexism. She replied: “Overall – the whole thing was presented in such a misogynistic way.” Coleen and Wayne Rooney at the Royal Courts (Yui Mok/PA) Ms Vardy also compared the report on her and Ms Rooney’s case to that of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s libel case in the US, saying Depp’s clothing did not receive the same level of scrutiny. He added: “It seems that women are not allowed to stand up for themselves. Women are not allowed to dress nicely. Yeah, there’s a lot of sexism in that.” Ms Vardy also suggested she had suicidal thoughts at times after Ms Rooney made the claim on social media in October 2019. He said he felt like he “didn’t even want to be here anymore”, adding: “It was like the worst feeling, but at the same time I had these feelings, feeling like I shouldn’t be feeling it because to me that was a failure and that wasn’t an option for me to be seen as I am, for the benefit of the children more than anything else.” Previously, the former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Ms Vardy denied leaking stories to the media and sued Ms Rooney for defamation. Both women attended a week-long trial at London’s High Court in May. In the TalkTV interview, Ms Vardy admitted she was sorry the row had come to this, but said she would say until she was “blue in the face” that she was innocent. He also claimed that the judge “did not understand the case”. Ms Vardy told the channel she was “disappointed” with the outcome of the trial, saying: “I didn’t expect it to go this way, but I think we had a judge who didn’t understand the case and didn’t look. to everything. “It appears the judge just read what was written in the media and took on their narrative bias.” Ms Vardy also said that at no point did her legal team advise her to drop the case, adding: “Because they know I didn’t and that’s exactly why I went on as long as I did and you’re going to say ’til I’m blue in the face, I didn’t.”
