Robbie Williams has weighed in on the WAG war between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy and discussed the perils on ‘provoking shame’.
Last month, pregnant Rebekah was explosively accused by Coleen of leaking stories about her to The Sun newspaper, which the expectant star has fiercely denied – leading to the WAG war which has captivated the nation.
The Take That hitmaker, 45, admits he understands the wife of Wayne Rooney’s desire to seek revenge on the perpetrator of her leaked stories, yet warned that the backlash from the drama could be ‘suicide causing’.
Shock: Robbie Williams has weighed in on the WAG war between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy and discussed the perils on ‘provoking shame’
Coleen was given the nickname ‘Wagatha Christie’ when it was revealed that she had been leaking fake stories on her private Instagram to see who was passing the information to the press – a move Robbie revealed he had done himself in the past.
Robbie – who has banned himself from using his Twitter alone – was keen to point out the dangers of online activity while weighing in on the story.
In an interview with The Telegraph Magazine, he said: ‘Let’s say Rebekah was guilty – which we don’t know. How she will feel inside right now is 10 times worse than how Coleen would have felt when those things were happening to her’.
Robbie went on to push the perils of the outing, as he said: ‘It’s a dangerous game to play… I understand Coleen’s need for revenge and I probably would have done the same thing but we have to be careful…

‘It’s suicide-causing – provoking those levels of shame’.
Since her exposure, Coleen has not publically discussed the scandal which Rebekah has persistently denied her part in.
At the time, it was revealed by sources close to Rebekah that leading law firm Kingsley Napley has sent Coleen a letter on her behalf demanding she provides them with the evidence she has against Becky so that she can complete her investigation.
Becky has called in a forensic team to analyse her Instagram account and identify the mole who sold fake stories to The Sun from Coleen’s Instagram account.
In an echo of Robbie’s comments, she spoke about how the drama would impact her unborn child and the danger of the strain.
Coleen wrote on October 9: ‘For a few years now someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing The Sun newspaper of my private posts and stories.

‘There has been so much information given to them about me, my friends and my family – all without my permission or knowledge.
‘After a long time of trying to figure out who it could be, for various reasons, I had a suspicion. To try and prove this, I came up with an idea, I blocked everyone from viewing Instagram except ONE account. ‘
She continued: ‘(Those on my private account must have been wondering why I haven’t had stories on there for a while).
‘Over the past five months I have posted a series of false stories to see if they made their way into the Sun newspaper.

‘And you know what, they did! The story about gender selection in Mexico, the story about returning to TV and then the latest story about the basement flood in my new house.
‘It’s been tough keeping it to myself and not making any comment at all, especially when the stories have been leaked, however I had to. Now I know for certain which account/individual it’s come from.
‘I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them.
‘It’s……… Rebekah Vardy’s account.’
She also wrote: ‘This has been a burden in my life for a few years now and finally I have got to the bottom of it……’
