Although David and Victoria Beckham are one of the most famous couples in pop culture history, shocking affair allegations have previously sparked controversy.
Rebecca Loos, David’s former personal assistant, claimed she and the England star had a steamy night of passion together shortly after he was signed from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2004 when she sold a scandalous story to the now-defunct News of the World.
Rebecca, whose allegations quickly catapulted her to household name status, had been assigned to look after David, now 49, during his 2003 transfer. According to Rebecca, now 47, she and David first became intimate after a group night out, which led to a four-month illicit affair. In the four-part Netflix series Beckham, the Beckhams have consistently denied this claim, but have previously admitted how it affected their relationship.
Rebecca, a media personality turned yoga instructor, has once more come out in a powerful new interview to refute the rumors. Here, the Mirror takes a look at Rebecca’s affair bombshells, including the apparent olive branch she recently extended to Spice Girl Victoria…
Victoria olive branch
Rebecca appeared to offer an olive branch to Victoria in a recent interview with James English for his Anything Goes podcast, implying that they had both received “s***.”
During their chat, podcaster James said to Rebecca: “You have to take accountability. You had sex with a married man. Rebecca then admitted: “I’m no angel”, to which James responded: “You’re gonna get s***. It’s understandable”.
The number of reality show appearances Rebecca had agreed to after her affair claims made headlines, including The Farm and Celebrity Love Island, was then noted by Glaswegian broadcaster James. With this in mind, James posited: “But you then created this celebrity lifestyle as well. You lapped it up”.
Rebecca replied: “The funny thing is, I got the s***, Victoria]Beckham] got the s***, David f****** never got any s***. That’s the world we live in”. When asked whether “that upsets her”, Rebecca recalled: “That made me want to keep]saying] ‘ hello, this is unfair’. ]It] didn’t upset me, it’s the world we live in”.
Hotel ‘ lie ‘
In the explosive interview, Rebecca opened up about a supposed “lie” David had told her during their first night together, which she claims she fell for “hook, line and sinker”. Rebecca told podcaster James: “The first night I stayed with him in his hotel, I expected]he’d done this] with many girls. He’s a football player, and the way he looked at girls]was telling]”.
She remembered: “And I did say to him, ‘ You must do this so often, you can have whoever you want'”. Recalling David’s alleged reply, Rebecca continued: “And he just looked at me and said, ‘ I’ve never done this before, you’re the first'”.
She then divulged: “I fell for it hook, line and sinker. I felt on top of the world. But that didn’t last long. Two weeks later, I saw a different side to him”. Rebecca claimed: “He met someone else”.
‘ Amazing lover ‘ confession
In 2004, during an interview with Sky News ‘ Kay Burley, former PA Rebecca claimed David was an “amazing lover”, alleging that they “couldn’t keep their hands off each other”. Remarking upon their alleged “chemistry”, she stated: “We were just locked into each other all night conversation-wise, other people noticed… we just connected. I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong… people were aware, and they weren’t very happy”.
The turning point for waitress
For the first time since David’s alleged treatment of a waitress in Madrid prompted her to make an appearance in Tom Bower’s bombshell book, The House of Beckham, which was released last summer.
Author Bowe wrote: “The turning point for Loos was realising Beckham’s double standards. Beckham didn’t leave a tip after eating at Madrid’s Hard Rock Cafe for SFX employees. The following day, the waitress gave Loos a note for Beckham”. She claimed she could not live off the tips, and she was upset that someone as well-known and wealthy could be so cruel.
“After reading the note, Beckham was alarmed. ‘ Give her this’, he said, handing over a thick wodge of euros. Loos was upset when he questioned Beckham’s accusations that she had lied to and played her in February.
One demand for Victoria
Rebecca made it clear during her sit-down interview with Sky that she wanted to prevent anyone from treating her like a child. Rebecca explained: “I don’t expect any sympathy from her whatsoever. Without expecting any kind words of sympathy, I believe that doing what I have done is bad enough for me to do it.
I sincerely hope they pass it, ” Before I even started dating them, I believe the issues with their marriage were. I have no intention of breaking up their marriage, especially if they have young children. I hope they stay together. “
Football legend David has always vehemently refuted the speculations that surround him and Rebecca, who he has previously called “ludicrous.” The then-28-year-old said in a statement when the allegations first surfaced that she had grown to love reading more and more ridiculous stories about her private life. I’m happily married, in plain English, to be honest. My wife and my two children are wonderful. Any third party can’t change these facts, in my opinion.
Touching upon this painful period in their 2023 doc, some 20 years later, Beckham revealed:” I don’t know how we got through it in all honesty. I value Victoria above all else. To see her hurt was incredibly difficult. But we are fighters. And we also had to fight for our families at the time. And it was worthwhile to fight for what we had. But ultimately, it’s our private life. “
Mirror Online has previously reached out to David and Victoria’s reps for comment.
