Rebecca Loos hits out at David Beckham after watching ‘affair’ claims in Netflix documentary

The woman at the centre of the tabloid storm is speaking out

Rebecca Loos has finally spoken out about David Beckham's Netflix documentary - and she's not pulling any punches.

Loos, formerly an aide to the footballer, made headlines around the world in 2004 when she claimed to have been his mistress.

Beckham denied the allegations and has generally avoided talking about the scandal for the past twenty years.

With the new Netflix documentary Beckham stirring up more press interest, many were expecting to see the former Manchester United star speak out about the Loos controversy.

But the 48-year-old avoided addressing the rumours head on and spoke only about 'tabloid stories' and how they left him 'feeling sick every day'.

Speaking exclusively to The Daily Mail, Loos said: "It's all, 'poor me'. He needs to take responsibility. He can say whatever he likes of course and I understand he has an image to preserve, but he is portraying himself as the victim and he's making me look like a liar, like I've made up these stories.

"He is indirectly suggesting that I'm the one who has made Victoria suffer."

Loos, now 47, has married since the media firestorm and has two children.

For the past fourteen years, she's lived in Norway where she works as a medical assistant and teaches yoga.

Talking about her new life, she said: "It's not like England here, it's much less judgmental. I used to get people coming up to me in Waitrose, right in my face, taking pictures of me with their mobiles.

"Here people are cool about it. They don't care. Most of them [Norwegian friends] say, 'Well, I was with a married man once and I did this…' It's like everyone has done something at some point."

Loos goes on to further criticise how Beckham addressed the rumours in the interview.

She said: "Yes, the stories were horrible, but they're true,' she says.

"He talks in the documentary about this ultimately being his private life, shutting it down.

"I think it's one thing to keep your private life to yourself. It's another thing to mislead the public. And so many people had forgotten about all of this.

"So many people put all this behind them, this whole affair, the scandal and everything. And he's dragged it back up again in a way that is affecting my reputation...

"I think if he was going to touch on this time and how difficult it was, it would have been really nice for him to have said 'it was not my proudest time'.

"The worse bit for me is that he says he didn't like seeing his wife suffer. That bothered me. Because he's the one that's caused the suffering.

Advert

"He could have simply said that this was a tough time and I don't want to talk about it.

"If you don't want to take responsibility for things because of your family and your children that's absolutely fine.

"And if he had just said it was a tough time for us and moved on I wouldn't be here today.

"But he specifically made it look like… my fault, that he had nothing to do with this."
