Netflix is set to release a new sports documentary, but this time it won't focus on a global superstar like Neymar or David Beckham. Instead, the spotlight will shine on Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy and his wife, Rebekah Vardy. The film promises to delve into Jamie's remarkable rise from non-league football to Premier League champion and England international, while also exploring the couple’s personal life.
While the documentary highlights Jamie's career achievements, it also offers a glimpse into the Vardys' home life, with Rebekah taking a central role. This comes on the heels of Coleen Rooney's recent Disney+ documentary, The Real Wagatha Story, which recounts her infamous legal feud with Rebekah.
The "Wagatha Christie" case made headlines after Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking private information to the press, leading to a highly publicized defamation trial. Rebekah's lawsuit against Coleen ended unfavorably, with the court ruling in Rooney's favor. The fallout continues, with Rebekah appealing a decision that requires her to pay up to £1.8 million in legal costs.
The documentary also touches on Jamie's controversies, including a 2015 incident where he was accused of racist behavior in a casino. Vardy admitted to verbally abusing a Japanese individual but attributed his actions to ignorance. "The word ‘racist’ is a permanent stain on my name," he said in his 2016 autobiography.
Jamie also revealed the personal toll of the accusations, explaining how his children are exposed to negative online content. Despite his past, Vardy insists, “One thing I am not and never will be is racist.”
Rebekah, known for her outspoken personality, might even get her own reality series if the Netflix project is successful. The documentary arrives as she continues to face scrutiny over her high-profile legal battles. During the "Wagatha Christie" case, she was accused of causing distractions for the England squad during the 2016 European Championship, a claim she has consistently denied.
