Rebecca Loos has been flooded with messages of support following the release of the new David Beckham documentary.
Beckham landed on Netflix last week, check out what Victoria had to say about the allegations:
When the former England captain moved to Real Madrid in 2003, it was alleged that he had started an affair with his assistant, Loos.

The following year, the then 26-year-old spoke out about it, claiming she and Becks had got very close and had slept together.
Both Beckham and his wife, Victoria, denied the allegations.
However, the release of the new doc has led to the subject being broached once again, with the couple talking about it themselves.
As a result, Becks' former assistant has come in for a lot of criticism, with people slamming her for attempting to ruin a marriage.
In Loos' defence, many have flooded her Instagram account with messages of support.
"20 years ago, get over it ppl! Leave her alone," wrote one.
Another commented: "Came here for the comments and was not disappointed. Why is the other woman always subjected to such hate? Why not the married man? Bet there’s no nasty comments on his Insta page! Hope you’re doing ok."
"The amount of hate this poor lady is receiving is shocking," put a third. "Most of them mothers, some of them are shouting about mental health in their bios.. To bring another woman down and troll her says much more about you! #vileWhat a world!"
While someone else added: "Some of the comments on here are disgusting!!! Stay strong. You have a beautiful life with your gorgeous family which unlike others doesn’t have to fill the gaps by getting Netflix involved!!! Xx."
During the four-part doc, Victoria is asked about the effect the rumours of an affair had on their marriage.
She told Netflix that it pushed them to breaking point, but that they came through it.
"It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us," the mother-of-four said in the documentary.
"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.”
Beckham is available to watch on Netflix now.
