Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story (2023) User Reviews

Better than I thought, especially Ep. 3.

[JohnSnow95 · 8/10 · 23 October 2023]

Personally, after watching this, I won't be reading anything from The Sun or similar tabloids again. The majority of the public are happy to recieve information without questioning how that information was obtained. Grown men had to wait for hours in a bush to jump out and take pictures of a 16 year old girl going to school, and then publish those photos nationally without getting consent from the minor or her parents. It's not normal and it should have never reached a point where it became normal.

Regarding Rebekah Vardy...even if she continues to deny any involvement in leaking stories to The Sun, she simply can't get around the sickening messages sent from her to Caroline Watt. There isn't a half-decent person in the world who speaks like that...even privately...and especially when they're in the wrong to begin with.

If there's any criticism for the documentary itself I'd say it could have been a tad shorter. Episode 3 was the best. Episode 1 and 2 could have been combined into one. Also, for younger viewers I think the fakeness of social media should have been highlighted - even if it was only a brief mention. It should have been stressed that coming off social media is always an option. I came off recently for that reason. 80% of the time when people hit "like" and leave comments saying "looking good x" it's not even genuine. They'd love to see you lose it all. I'd rather focus on real relationships with people I can see.

Brillant documentry

What can I say, but what a watch, coleen comes across as a strong lady who has been through a lot of issues and and been in the public eye.

It was so nice see her with her children, wanye, and also the perspective of her family and friends.

Plus I dont care what anyone says 99% of women online( snoop) and find a way round catching partners, or so called friends out, that have hurt them never mind it all been on show and been in public eye and then for one of them so called friends to tear you down what a low move from one mother to another just sell stories ,and to me, in certain scenarios coleen is relatable shes a mother, has great family bond ect.. I have say I admire her in this doc, she came across gracious, strong and a women who has put up with alot, and at the same time in this didnt sit and tear down RV either she literally called her out, didnt lower her standards,held her self very well some them texts must been so hurtful to read, but it speaks volumes of how differnt they both are as women. Great watch.

Absolutely useless

I watched one episode of this so called 'documentary' and rue the time and braincells I lost viewing it. Of all the topics in the world, they chose possibly the most useless, C grade topic to make a topic on. Why should we care who leaked some images of some girlfriend of a random sport player? And to make it worse, The Sun (which is possibly, the nadir of journalism) makes it's mark too in this documentary.

I absolutely felt nothing in this documentary, just a sense of detachment and irony that the biggest problem in some people's lives can be images that they publicly and willingly post online.
