Wayne Rooney Massage Parlor Sex Stories Untrue, Phone-Hacking Trial Told: Daily Soccer Report

In the UK phone-hacking trial, the grandmother who was at the center of the Wayne Rooney sex scandal testified in court that she didn’t have sex with Rooney. Instead, the massage parlor employee warned Rooney to get out of the building before he destroyed his career.

In her testimony to the court, the woman said:

“I recall Wayne Rooney visiting the massage parlor with other males. Four days later he came on his own. I pushed him into a room and told him to put his hat down, get out of the massage parlor before he was destroyed and his career was over.”

In 2005, she sued The Sun newspaper regarding the allegations the paper reported about her.

Also revealed today was that the password Rooney used on his mobile phone, which was hacked, was “Stella Artois.”
