Rooney-Vardy feud sparks hysteria on Twitter ... and spectacular memes
Coleen Rooney sent the football world into hyperdrive on Wednesday morning when, in a lengthy Twitter note, she explained how private details of her personal life were being leaked to English tabloid The Sun.
Rooney, the wife of D.C. United star and England legend Wayne Rooney, accused Rebekah Vardy of being responsible for the leak, explaining - in a dramatic piece of storytelling - that she planted fake stories on her private Instagram account over the past five months to identify who was giving out her information. After limiting access to her account to ensure the stories were viewable only to Vardy, Rooney came to her conclusion.
Vardy, who's married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, responded in kind, denying the allegations.
Twitter had a field day with the feud. Here's a collection of our favorite reactions:

Is Wayne Rooney still moving to Derby, or was that just Coleen having Rebekah Vardy on and it's gone too far?

0 - Despite spending four hours & 22 minutes together on the pitch for England in total, Jamie Vardy and Wayne Rooney never created a single goalscoring chance for one another. Awkward. pic.twitter.com/qS4H1G93nN

"It's ..........Rebekah Vardy's account." is arguably the best ending to anything that I've ever read.

A special shoutout goes to one particular Twitter user, whose January suggestion may have ultimately gotten us to this point:
Make a false story tell ppl different things see which 1 comes out = find the culprit
