Rebecca Loos responds to claims she 'lied' about David Beckham 'affair'

Rebecca Loos has addressed claims that she 'lied' about having an affair with David Beckham after the issue resurfaced during the new Netflix documentary.

The show follows Beckham's glittering football career with Manchester United, Real Madrid and England, and features former teammates Roy Keane and Gary Neville.

The documentary also shines a light on Beckham's alleged affair with his former PA, Loos.

In 2004, Loos claimed that the pair had slept together while they were working at the Spanish club.

At the time, both Beckham and his wife, Victoria, denied the allegations.

Years after the scandal, Loos, who currently lives in Norway with her husband and two sons, has been dragged back into the spotlight.

Since its release, the 46-year-old has been targeted on social media by people questioning the validity of her claims that they had an affair.

One commented on a recent Instagram post: “Nowhere have I seen an admittance that the story was true.”

Replying to the comment, another social media user penned: “If it wasn’t true then they would have sued for defamation”.

The response was given a “like” from Loos, who responded to the remark with a praying hands emoji.

In the documentary, Victoria revealed how the allegations impacted her and David’s marriage, explaining that it was the “hardest period” of their relationship.

“It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us," she said. "Here’s the thing — we were against each other if I’m being completely honest.

“You know, up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other.

“But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either. And that’s sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare.

“It was an absolute circus — and everyone loves it when the circus comes to town right? Unless you’re in it.”

Husband David also addresses the speculation and how it affected their marriage.

He said: “There was some horrible stories which were difficult to deal with.

“It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage.”
