It is insane.
Two grown women instagramming and gossiping and selling sleb stories.
I am following it purely in disbelief that it is even a thing.
Next month Johnny and Jayden from year 1 will be suing each other because Jayden wouldn’t pick Johnny in PE.
FFS.
You couldn’t make it up. And yet ……. Lol

From what I understand they’ve been ‘advised’ again and again by their legal teams to settle out of court but they’re insisting on having their day (week) in front of the judge (no jury in this one). They really are like children squabbling over he said / she said while the car they’re in heads for a cliff edge.
I think many of us have a high level of schadenfreude invested in this one – if they both end up penniless on the streets it’ll probably be the best outcome. There will inevitably be the followup tv progs / book / paid interviews but it’s one (rare) occasion where I don’t begrudge the lawyers whatever they’re charging.

@backofbeyond
I agree. The only £££££ winners here are the lawyers. Kerching.
Both of these women are going to come out of this badly but it’s looking like a win for Team Rooney at the moment.

Oh yeah lawyers love it🤔they never lose🙄

This is one occasion I’m pleased about that. £50k damages for whoever wins and £1 million legal fees for each side is what I’ve heard (on the radio).
As they say, a fool and his money are soon parted.

Forestbather 12th May 2022 at 12:24 pm
To be fair, slebs usually give their winnings to charity, so some good should come out of it.
-
backofbeyond 12th May 2022 at 1:50 pm
That’s right, they do. So 50k (or whatever) given away to charity in a blaze of righteousness while the bill for £1m is thudding on the mat. What price a moral victory (whichever of them it happens to be – I can hardly tell them apart).

lets hope the judge awards £1 dmages and no legal fees haha!

It’s hilarious. A perfect microcosm of where we are as a society and what we regard as important. If Rome had instagram at the end of their days this is what they’d have been spending their time on. Panem et circenses.
The road to hell is paved with celebrity gossip, and we are well on our way down it.

I’m not really following the story but it seems to be in the news so it’s hard to avoid it. I did read an article about who was winning the fashion war which I found quite interesting, although I can’t remember who is actually winning🤣.
The whole thing is silly, but it’s a bit of light relief from the real news, I guess.

Looking like a win for Team Rooney after yesterday’s playground shenanigans.
More fun than a Downing Street lockdown party.

Shirlann 12th May 2022 at 12:30 pm
Well she has put up with all his cheating for some unknown reason 🙄😉😁so maybe she needs to win something 😏😂

@Shirlann
It’s an open relationship. She’s just more discreet about it and more clever at covering her tracks.
-
Forestbather 14th May 2022 at 11:07 am
Sorry @min – I don’t understand what you mean?
-
min 14th May 2022 at 11:16 am
Bein’ facetious – I thought- being discrete isn’t being open??
-
Forestbather 14th May 2022 at 11:51 am
@min
They are open with each other about having other relationships. It’s no-one else’s business who it’s with or when.
-
min 14th May 2022 at 9:12 pm
Sorry. I found it amusing. But it’s clearly a very serious business.

The judge as always got the option to award damages of a £1 if he / she Wishes, the judge could also state both parties will be forbidden to make any personal financial gain in connection with this case.
So both Rooney & Vardy will end up with solicitors bill’s plus any court costs the judge may impose.

Someone mentioned it yesterday so I had a quick look. Playground squabble that the lawyers will love.

65% dragging society into the gutter
5% declining educational standards

Who actually gives a monkey’s?
Absolute twaddle!
Besides give it a couple of years no doubt they’ll make a kiss and make up mockumentary in which they’ll ‘bare’ their souls or rather lack of them.
I despair 🙄 -
Tambos57 12th May 2022 at 5:19 pm
Like a scene from that dodgy tv show that used to be on tv ‘footballers wives’.
And to think what they could actually do with the money their spending defending their shallow egos, which let’s face it, does anyone really give a rats arse over.
-
siandeve15 12th May 2022 at 7:47 pm
The Rooneys have got more money than sence.
Wayne was good at kicking a ball back in his day but common sense has never been one of his strong points which goes for his wife.
What part of shut up does Coleen not understand.
The pair should take a leaf out of there friends book David & Victoria Beckham and try doing some good to other people less fortunate than themselves-
backofbeyond 12th May 2022 at 8:46 pm
From what I’ve read of the verbal exchanges in court I’m beginning to wonder if either of them actually realise what it is they’ve got themselves into. There’s a childlike element to their responses that suggests they’re not quite grasping it all. I predict drama queen tears and faux collapse on the court steps for the looser followed by real tears and real collapse once the bill arrives, particularly if hubby then says he’s squandered the family assets on the 3.30 at Doncaster. 🤣
-
Badger56 13th May 2022 at 7:20 pm
Given that the expression “Davey Jones’ Locker” had to be explained to one of them by the judge whilst on the witness stand there’s absolutely no hope for either except (hopefully) years of ridicule.

@ siandeve15
Coleen is not the one suing. She tried to settle out of court.

They have more money than sense, there are families having to make the choice between heating and eating and they are bickering over who leaked information!!! What a crazy world we live in.

They should bother fined for wasting money the courts time then sent somewhere together and taught how to behave like adults

TOD1967 13th May 2022 at 10:35 pm
Everything that proves what’s wrong with modern society! Without their vastly overpaid husbands they’d have to get a meaningful job rather than being the vacuous airhead bints looking to seek publicity for being vaguely ‘famous’. Annoyingly the yoof of today crave to do this as it shows that if you’re considered attractive (?) and latch onto an average sportsmen you don’t need to get an education or make any effort in life to be useful!!😡😡

Forestbather 14th May 2022 at 7:12 am
Just to clarify – for those who have misunderstood.
CR has to be there to defend herself. She is being sued by RV.
-
backofbeyond 15th May 2022 at 7:33 am
Would have been cheaper if she’d just scratched her eyes out. Might even have been more interesting as well.
