Rebekah Vardy spends weekend 'partying' after losing Wagatha Christie case to Coleen Rooney

Rebekah Vardy went to a music festival last weekend, sharing a photo of herself sticking up two fingers in one of her latest Instagram posts. It was the first photo she'd posted since losing the Wagatha Christie case on Friday (July 29).

In the snap, the WAG posed with two fingers up in a leather jacket with "normal is boring" spray painted on the back. Attending a Classic Ibiza festival with friends, she paired the slogan jacket with denim shorts and black biker boots.

She is also carrying a Waitrose plastic bag. Wife of footballer Jamie Vardy, 40, captioned the post: "peace out" alongside a peace sign emoji.

Her friends were determined to help her let her hair down and brush off the pain of her defeat to Coleen Rooney, reports the Mirror. A source said: "Rebekah has a close-knit circle of friends who were adamant she was going to have a fun-filled weekend, regardless of the outcome of the trial.

"A group of mates took her to the Classic Ibiza festival so she could dance through Saturday night and forget her problems." As Rebekah partied at the Burghley House event in Lincolnshire, one pal said: "We’ve got ya back girl. Always." Another said: "love ya beaut!"

It comes after Mrs Justice Steyn described the WAG's evidence as "inconsistent, evasive and implausible". Coleen, 36, wife of footballer and manager Wayne Rooney, won the case after the High Court found her claim that Rebekah had leaked personal information about her was "substantially true."

Mrs Vardy had sued Coleen for libel saying her claim, made in 2019, had been false, reports the ECHO. Rebekah said she "cannot accept" the "wrong" judgment, adding: "I brought this action to vindicate my reputation and am devastated by the judge's finding."

Coleen celebrated her win with a meal at Chinese restaurant Wing's as husband Wayne flew back from Washington DC to join her.

After the ruling, Coleen said: "It was not a case I ever sought or wanted." Rebekah is expected to have to pay £3 million in legal bills after her spectacular own goal. The WAGs are set to make documentaries, sign book deals and be the subject of films made about May's gripping legal case.
