The Netflix documentary Beckham has been cracking open old wounds.
The documentary delves into the highs and lows of David Beckham’s football career and personal life, bringing up an alleged four-month affair he had with the lady of the hour – Rebecca Loos.
The documentary showed Victoria finally speaking openly about the pain she suffered in the aftermath of her husband’s alleged affair with his assistant. She revealed that the months afterwards were the “hardest” of her life and that she no longer felt like the couple “had each other”.
This affair is prefixed with ‘alleged’ but nobody has denied it, or pitch-forked at the courts with defamation suits, so it must, ultimately, have happened.

Hello! Magazine harks back to 2004 when Rebecca claimed that she had an affair with David whilst working as his personal assistant the previous year. She told her story to the News Of The World and later appeared on Sky News for her first TV interview. Speaking to presenter Kay Burley, Rebecca said that she and David, who was playing for Real Madrid at the time, first spent the night together after a dinner party.
“The chemistry between David and I was so strong that everyone was aware and people weren’t happy, obviously, because I was being very unprofessional and he’s a married man,” she said.
“He just kept looking at me and then it dawned on me what he’d asked me – and I did want to go back with him.”
She told how the couple shared a ride back to the hotel with some other people, but after dropping them off, Rebecca said she and the football star started “kissing quite passionately all the way back to the hotel”.
Opening up about their relationship, she said: “There was an obvious attraction. We spent a lot of time together. We just bonded. We think the same way, made the same jokes, had some kind of connection.
“He treated me in a special way. Always made sure I was looked after. I began to feel very special.”
In case anyone doubted her story, she confessed to knowing about an intimate detail on David’s body and would be willing to go to court if need be.

She also said she didn’t expect kindness and sympathy from Victoria after the bombshell interview:
“I really hope that they get through it. I think the problems were in their marriage long before I came into the picture. I in no way intended to break up their marriage especially when there are young children involved. I hope they stay together.”
Rebecca has been fairly active on social media since the documentary was released and has had to deal with some of the backlash.

The 46-year-old Dutch model opened up about the “nasty” comments she’s been receiving online whilst responding to a fan’s comment on her recent Instagram post:
Expressing support for the star, one follower wrote: “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!!!”
Rebecca was quick to respond, writing: “Thank you, am taking in the nasty comments with as much humour as I can.”
Then, some followers were also questioning the validity of her story, with one person writing:
“Nowhere have I seen an admittance that the story was true.” Defending Rebecca, another fan remarked: “If it wasn’t true then they would have sued for defamation.” The comment earned a like from the model, who replied with a prayer hands emoji.
Anyway, the lady is living her own life in Norway with her husband, Norwegian doctor Sven Christjar Skaiaa, and two sons, Magnus and Liam.

She’s staying as zen as possible, working as a yoga and meditation teacher as well as a part-time medical assistant.
All’s well that ends well.
