Shock: It comes after Coleen Rooney liked a fan’s tweet referencing Rebekah’s plans to use her late disabled sister Rosie to enhance her story leak plot (Coleen with her sister in the year 2006 pictured)
It comes after Coleen Rooney liked a fan’s tweet referencing Rebekah’s plans to use her late disabled sister Rosie to bolster her story plot.
On Wednesday, the 37-year-old WAG made headlines after the release of her Disney+ documentary Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, a limited series chronicling her legal battle with fellow footballer Vardy’s wife.
In 2019, Coleen publicly accused Rebekah of leaking stories from her personal Instagram account to The Sun newspaper, leading to a Supreme Court war in which private WhatsApps showed Rebekah’s innuendos about Coleen’s sister.
While Coleen struggled for three years to expose the “snitch” on her personal account, she unfollowed Rebekah – who had apparently sent her agent Caroline Watt a message telling her to “say something about Rosie”. to get back into Coleen’s lap.
Coleen’s parents Colette and Tony McLoughlin took Rosie into foster care when she was two years old and later adopted her. She died in 2013 at the age of 14 as a result of her lifelong battle with Rett syndrome, a rare condition that causes severe disabilities.
Wagatha Christie’s story has dominated headlines for years, and Coleen finally tells her side of the story in the Disney+ documentary.
After explaining how she discovered Rebekah was the originator of the leaks, she revealed that her first instinct was to simply unfollow the star – thus removing Rebekah as one of the followers from Coleen’s account.
Soon after, Coleen revealed that she was approached by Rebekah, who wrote her a message saying: “Hello my love… hope you’re well?… I saw you unfollowed me …

“And I unfollowed you on Instagram… I just wanted to ask… Did I do anything or offend you in any way?”, to which Coleen explained: “I just thought… you.” “I’m so duplicitous,” in the camera.
Coleen then read out a message from Rebekah to Caroline which said: “I usually never text her and say hello.” Maybe I should say something about Rosie.
Disgusted, Coleen said of the vile plan: “Planning to make up a story to get me to respond is one thing, but using my late sister is just… wrong.”
At the start of the documentary, Coleen burst into tears while talking about Rosie.
While explaining why the WAG finds it difficult to talk about her worries, Colette revealed it stems from growing up caring for Rosie.
Colette shared: “Coleen keeps things to herself. She doesn’t want to be a burden and I can attribute that to Rosie. She was so special.’
The McLoughlins took Rosie into foster care when she was two years old, and while they had previously only provided short-term care, Coleen noticed that “Rosie was different.”
She explained: “When Rosie came along she was an important part of our lives. ‘She was the sister I never thought I would have.’
Speaking to her mother and father Tony, she continued: “I did her hair and loved picking out clothes for her with my mother.” She brought that little something extra into the house. We fell in love with her.’

Tragic loss: Rosie died in 2013 at the age of 14 as a result of her lifelong battle with Rett syndrome, a rare brain disorder that causes severe disabilities

But the family soon realized Rosie was struggling with her development and after a series of hospital tests she was diagnosed with Rett syndrome.
Coleen explained: “Rosie, she was struggling. She couldn’t walk or talk and was in pain and sick, but she still put a smile on her face.
“Sometimes she forced herself to laugh. I think it was just about making my mom and dad happy. Gradually her brain stopped functioning, so she could no longer eat, speak or move.’
Rosie needed 24-hour care and after suffering “many complications” and being taken to intensive care, Colette revealed the family had decided to bring her home to spend her final days surrounded by her loved ones .
“We all spent the night together, one last time,” she explained. “And then we had a big party to celebrate her life.”
Outrageous: While Coleen spent three years trying to expose the “snitch” on her personal account, she unfollowed Rebekah – who had apparently written to her agent Caroline Watt to “say something about Rosie” in order to get back with Coleen land folds

Coleen burst into tears and said: “Losing a child is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone, but looking back now she gave us so many beautiful years of happiness and love.”
Revealing the impact Rosie’s death had on her ten years later, Coleen explained: “Because of the things that have happened in my life, I try to be strong for others.”
“I don’t want people to worry about me when other things are going on in their lives, but sometimes I can break through.”
Colette went on to say that it wasn’t until Wayne moved to DC United that her daughter was able to fully process the pain she had been through when she landed in America.
She explained: “It’s been 10 years now and Coleen never talked about it much.” She had a lot of time in America so she must have been thinking a lot back then.
“But she hides a lot, so it’s hard to tell what’s going on in her head.”
What is RETT syndrome? THE NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER THAT LEAVES CHILDREN INABILITY TO SPEAK, EAT, WALK, SPEAK AND BREATHE
One in 12,000 children is born with Rett syndrome, but few people have heard of it.
The genetic disorder almost exclusively affects women and leads to a neurological-physical relapse.
The course of the disease can be roughly divided into four stages.
In the first stage, around six to 18 months of age, a baby’s development slows, loses interest in play, stops making eye contact, begins walking awkwardly, and makes repetitive hand movements.
The second phase, called “rapid destruction,” begins between the ages of one and four years.
The child finds it increasingly difficult to communicate and learn, and other brain functions often deteriorate.
Symptoms include inability to control hands, sudden distress associated with screaming, restlessness, breathing problems, difficulty sleeping, slow head growth and digestive problems.
The third stage, the “plateau,” begins between the ages of three and ten.
Limbs become limp, epilepsy may develop, and weight loss and teeth grinding may occur.
However, many parents say that children are less stressed and show more interest in their surroundings.
The final phase can last decades. As a rule, there is a severe curvature of the spine – scoliosis – and the loss of the ability to walk.
Almost all cases are caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene that affects the proper functioning of nerve cells in the brain.
There is currently no cure and only the symptoms are treated.
According to Rett UK, around three quarters of those affected are over 50 years old. According to the National Institute of Health, it is not possible to give reliable estimates of life expectancy beyond 40 years.
According to Rettsyndrome.org, data from the Natural History Study found that a girl with Rett has a 100 percent chance of reaching age 10, over a 75 percent chance of reaching age 30, and over 50 percent chance of reaching the age of 50.
However, due to Rett’s rarity, very little has been published about life expectancy.
