Hulu revealed the official trailer for “Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story,” the British docuseries on the social media scandal that captivated Britain, sparked controversy online, and spawned a high court trial.
For the very first time, Coleen Rooney, one of Britain’s most famous celebrities and wife of record-scoring footballer Wayne Rooney, reveals all as the documentary looks at the jaw-dropping libel case that gripped the U.K. in 2022.
The three-part series premieres Wednesday, October 18, on Hulu, and on Disney+ internationally.
WAG (acronym): used to refer to wives and girlfriends of high-profile sports figures.
Uncovering one of the biggest tabloid news stories in Britain for the last decade, it reveals how Coleen turned amateur online sleuth to find an explanation for why private stories concerning herself and her family continued to appear in the media. It examines the circumstances that led to her infamous Instagram post that ‘broke the internet’ all the way to Coleen successfully defending herself in one of the UK’s highest-profile High Court defamation cases of recent years. As well as the case itself, it will explore how Coleen has had her life played out in public for the last 20 years.
The incredible story will be told through exclusive access to the woman at the heart of it all, alongside interviews with her family, legal team and key players involved in the resulting trial.
