I think it must have been the biggest panic attack. I was totally shocked. What to do next? That’s the million-dollar question.<\/p>\n ‘I couldn’t understand why someone would do that. Why someone would do that knowing someone’s vulnerable, knowing the impact something like that is going to cause. It’s going to cause a s***-storm \u2013 a massive one \u2013 and that it did.’<\/p>\n Referring to a fake story about a flooded basement in Coleen’s new Cheshire mansion, Rebekah insisted: ‘The first time I read about the flooded basement was in the Daily Mail online.

A judge ruled that Coleen’s October 2019 post ‘clearly identified’ Rebekah as being ‘guilty of the serious and consistent breach of trust’.<\/p>\n Mr Justice Warby concludes that the ‘natural and ordinary’ meaning of the posts was that Rebekah had ‘regularly and frequently abused her status as a trusted follower of Coleen’s personal Instagram account by secretly informing The Sun of Coleen’s private posts and stories’.<\/p>\n September 2017 to October 2019<\/span> – The Sun runs a number of fake articles about Coleen, which she claimed she only shared with Vardy in a ‘sting’ operation, including that she travelled to Mexico to look into baby ‘gender selection’ treatment, her plan to revive her TV career and the flooding of her basement.<\/p>\n October 9, 2019<\/span> – Coleen uses social media to accuse Rebekah of selling stories from her private Instagram account to the tabloids.
