Coleen Rooney is an “absolute disaster” for her reputation and “as damaging as it could be”, a media lawyer has said. Jonathan Coad said the prospects for Mrs Vardy, who is married to Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, of getting endorsements or television work in the future have “suffered severely”.

On Friday Mrs Justice Steyn dismissed Mrs Vardy’s libel claim which she brought against Mrs Rooney over a viral social media post.

Coad told the PA news agency: “It’s an absolute disaster for Rebekah Vardy. It couldn’t really be worse. “But of course, it’s made worse by the fact that she was a volunteer to this and she was the claimant, so she was bringing it. “But it’s turned out to be about as damaging as it could be because not only has the judge found that what she was accused of doing, she was actually doing, which is not good, the judge has also found that her evidence was unreliable, which is a judicial euphemism for ‘it’s not true’. “But also, I think that her prospects of getting endorsements and getting television work now have suffered severely, because her brand has suffered so much damage. ”Mr Coad believes it is possible for Mrs Vardy to repair her reputation to some degree as the “public has the capacity to forgive”, but he does not think she will completely undo the damage.

Leading reputation management lawyer Mark Stephens agreed that Mrs Vardy will “rue the day that she ever brought this case” and believes she will be “forever branded a fishwife and gossip as she has been by the judge”.
