Rebekah Vardy Declares Independence Amid Criticism

posted a statement on Thursday night about reclaiming her voice after her new reality show was savaged by critics as 'very bad, very boring and deeply dull'.

The WAG, 44, took to Instagram where she said she was not 'willing to let others define her' and that 'what was meant to break her instead revealed her strength'.

While she didn't say specifically who or what situation she was referring to - the last few years of her life have been dominated by her libel battle with Coleen Rooney which Rebekah lost. She briefly touched on the case in the documentary. 

She penned in her statement: 'And I'm signing off with this tonight! For so long I've stood back and allowed people to tear me down, create false narratives about who I am and tell a version of my story that was never mine. 

'I've stayed silent while assumptions were made, judgements were passed and misconceptions were spread. I know what I endured I know the toll it took and I know the strength it required to keep moving forward.

'I'm no longer willing to let others define me. I know who I am what I've lived through and the values I stand for. 

'Moving forward I choose to speak for myself, stand in my truth and leave behind the weight of opinions that were never rooted in reality. 

'What was meant to break me instead revealed my strength. My story belongs to me and I'm taking it back.'

The statement came just after hernew reality show was savaged by critics in a series of lacklustre reviews on Wednesday. 

During the three-part series, Rebekah insisted 'hell will freeze over' before she apologises to Coleen following their bitter feud.

And if you were expecting any more details about the famous '' libel case then fans will be very disappointed as it is barely mentioned.   

As viewers claimed the series was 'uninteresting and boring' it seemed critics agreed as the most the ITV show has been awarded is a disappointing two stars out of five. 

The Guardian's Lucy Mangan insisted: 'You will be disappointed', as she gave the series one star. 

She continued: 'This is because it is very bad and very boring. That will make every viewer down in the mouth. 

'Those who tune in for more specific reasons – being a fan of Leicester City's beloved former striker-god Jamie V or wanting to hear Rebekah V's take on the 'Wagatha Christie' libel case she brought against and lost to Coleen Rooney – will be even more let down.'

Meanwhile The Independent's Katie Rosseinsky gave the show just two stars as she described the series as 'deeply dull'.
