David Beckham's former assistant Rebecca Loos insists she ‘never lied' about affair claims

Fox News31-03-2025

Rebecca Loos, David Beckham's former assistant, is not backing down from her claims that she had an affair with the former soccer player while he was married to Victoria Beckham over 20 years ago.
During Sunday's episode of "60 Minutes Australia," the Dutch model-turned-yoga instructor, 47, opened up about her "truth" and explained why she believes her choice to go public with her claims was "brave."
"In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them," Loos said during her interview. "I have stuck to the truth. I've never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing."
"Why? Because I'm going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media who have all the money in the world for the best PR, the best lawyers. And all I had on my side was the truth," she added.
During the interview, Loos said Victoria was out of town the first time David made a move on her.
"He said 'let's go back to my hotel,'" Loos claimed.
Loos said it was "the look in his eyes" that ultimately made her "give in."
"The way he looks at you, he's got a certain charismatic power," she said. "He can easily get what he wants and he knows it."
"I fell hook, line and sinker for every single cliché line he fed me," Loos said. "And then two weeks later we were at [Christiano] Ronaldo's birthday party, and he's off with this beautiful model. And I was like, 'Uh.' That was a hard night for me. I was like, 'Uh, I don't understand.' And realization started to hit that I'd been massively played."
A representative for David did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment regarding Loos' new interview.
Loos originally came forward about an alleged, four-month relationship with the footballer in 2004. She had worked as his assistant the previous year.
At the time, David denied all the allegations and released a statement saying he was "very happily married," and that "There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts."
The allegations resurfaced in the 2023 documentary, "Beckham" - a Netflix production that took a deep dive into the lives of the retired soccer player and former Spice Girl.
"I don't know how we got through it, in all honesty," David said of the infidelity rumors in the documentary, which did not directly name Loos as the alleged mistress. "Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we're fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family."
"And what we had was worth fighting for."
While discussing their marital struggles, Victoria opened up about the resentment she felt toward her husband after he was traded from Manchester United in England to Real Madrid in Spain in 2003 – when Loos became his assistant.
"Did I resent David? If I am being totally honest, yes I did," Victoria said.
Victoria did not immediately move to Spain and chose to stay in England to raise their young sons while David was playing soccer in Madrid.
"It was probably, if I'm being honest, the most unhappy I have ever been in my life," she added. "It wasn't that I felt unheard because I chose to internalize a lot of it because I was always mindful of a focus that he needed."
"It was an absolute circus — and everyone loves it when the circus comes to town, right? Unless you're in it," she said.
After the documentary aired, Loos said David was playing the "victim" and made her out to be a "liar."
"He is making himself a victim, and he's making me look like the liar," she said in an interview with the Daily Mail at the time. "He's making me look like I've made up these horrible stories. I'm the one that's made Victoria suffer. Poor him. He's had nothing to do with this. And it was so awful."
"I think it's one thing if you don't want to take responsibility for things at home because of your family and your children, that's absolutely fine, and if he hadn't even mentioned any of that and just said it was a tough time for us and moved on, I wouldn't be here today," she continued.
"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, 'Not my proudest time… It was a tough time for us.' Something like that. Just maybe a little bit of acknowledgment. Or no acknowledgment at all and don't even touch the subject… I never received any closure. If somebody had just called me – if he had just called me and said, 'I'm so sorry, how can we fix this?' Things would be so different…. I was made to look like a liar. I felt like I had to continue to defend myself."

Meghan Markle snubbed by A-list singer who turned down invite to appear on Netflix show: report

Dolly Parton reportedly snubbed Meghan Markle after she turned down an invite to appear on the actress's Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan.' 'Her team was livid,' celebrity commentator Kinsey Schofield claimed on a recent podcast appearance of 'The Nerve with Maureen Callahan.' 'Because no, they don't want to risk Dolly's reputation Q score [and] her popularity by associating with Meghan Markle.' 'They knew that this ask was just to give Meghan Markle credibility in this lifestyle space, a space that Dolly does have a lot of credibility in,' she continued. Schofield, 40, elaborated on Parton's success in the country music industry and as a lifestyle guru with her variety of baking batter mixes and beauty products. 'Dolly is not only incredibly popular and loved by the general public, but she also is somebody who can float around within these different places,' she added. 'Her team really feels like Meghan was trying to take advantage of her popularity,' Schofield alleged. Callahan described Parton as 'authentic' and claimed it would've been 'spontaneous combustion of good versus evil' if she agreed to appear alongside 'a fake royal' in her 'fake kitchen.' Reps for Parton, 79, and Markle, 43, weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. The Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle series was released on Netflix in March. It was immediately renewed for Season 2 despite criticism from trolls claiming that Markle was 'thirsty' for fame. Several celebrities joined the 'Suits' alum in her show, including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer. Spencer has previously defended her pal against critics, telling Page Six that Markle is 'the most glorious human being on the planet.' Markle, meanwhile, embarked on several business ventures this past year, including the launch of her 'As Ever' lifestyle brand and 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast in April. During a recent podcast episode, she admitted she felt 'incredibly lonely' in her business endeavors.

These 6 Netflix Treats Are Worth Watching In June

If you pay any attention to the film world, you'll know that the last few weeks have been dominated by one thing and one thing only: the Cannes Film Festival. While news of upcoming movies had us thoroughly excited for the next year of cinema (a period romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, anyone?), the headlines were mostly defined by buzzy red carpet moments. From Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence giving us the millennial fandom moment of dreams to Emma Stone being attacked by a bee and consequently being saved by Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal, there was plenty to keep up with. Other standout moments included Denzel Washington being surprised with an honorary Palme d'Or by his longtime friend Spike Lee and Charli XCX sitting in the audience at Harris Dickinson 's directorial debut premiere. But while we wait in anticipation for the movies to make their way to the big screens, we're keeping our eyes on our small screens this June. After the success of Four Seasons and dreamy teen romance Forever last month, we're now focusing on thrillers and action for the month ahead. To take a look at all the best titles coming to Netflix this June, read on. Our Netflix Star: Ginny and Georgia Season 3 Ginny and Georgia is made for those of us who want the familial, loving comfort of Gilmore Girls with a little bit of spice. Picking up right after Georgia's disastrous wedding (spoiler alert), the mother of two must now face the music after being arrested for the mercy killing of frenemy Cynthia's terminally ill husband, Tom. After her years of manic moves and name-changes to cover up her life of crimes, the whole town now knows Georgia isn't the innocent woman she pretended to be. Wrapped up in Georgia's web of lies, Ginny has to make one of two choices: support her mom through thick and thin or cut ties and try to make it on her own. Straw If you're searching for a movie stacked with talented women, look no further than Taraji P. Henson starring alongside Sherri Shepherd and Teyana Taylor in Tyler Perry's latest thriller. Telling the story of a single mother strapped for cash, Janiyah (Henson) is forced to make a life-changing decision after a series of incidents leave her without enough money to buy her daughter's medicine. Trying to be the best parent she can, she decides to hold up a bank to try to get the cash she needs, leading to a hostage situation that grips the local community. Trainwreck: The Astroworld Legacy The latest installment of Netflix's Trainwreck documentary series investigates the fateful Travis Scott festival in 2021, where 10 fans tragically lost their lives. Featuring survivors, medical staff and members of the security team, the documentary pieces together the events that led up to the tragedy in Texas, examining how the fatal crowd crush occurred and the lasting effects it has had on the audience members and workers in attendance. Fubar Season 2 Craving a chaotic father-daughter action-comedy? Then look no further than Fubar. Returning for its second season, the series picks up as long-time CIA operative Luke Brunner (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is dealing with the aftermath of finding out his daughter (Monica Barbaro) is also secretly a member of the CIA. As they're tasked with linking up to fight crime as a (somewhat) dynamic duo, things begin to unravel when an old flame enters the scene and threatens to throw Luke off course. The Waterfront For fans of a true story, this new drama is set to be right up your street. Taking place in the fictional North Carolina town of Havenport, the series follows a flawed family as they fight to keep control of their quickly collapsing fishing empire. Used to having a big reputation in town, the Buckley family is forced to keep their business afloat in increasingly desperate ways. Starring Maria Bello (Coyote Ugly), Melissa Benoist (Glee), Holt McCallany (Ironclaw) and Jake Weary (Animal Kingdom). Squid Game Season 3 It's hard to believe that Squid Game first premiered in the middle of a global pandemic five years ago. Having the world hooked on its dystopian premise ever since, the Korean-language series returns for its third and final season this month. Following Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) as he deals with the aftermath of losing his best friend in the game, the series sees him embark on a mission to end the game for good, while the antagonist Front Man continues his craft of cruelty, making things worse for the surviving players with every passing round.

Madonna Teams Up With Shawn Levy and Netflix For a Limited Series Based on Her Life: Report

Madonna fans have been waiting for years to see the Queen of Pop get her very own biopic — and according to a new report, they may finally get to see one. According to a report from Deadline on Monday (May 12), Madonna has teamed up with Deadpool & Wolverine producer Shawn Levy to develop a limited series based on her life and career for Netflix. Levy's production company 21 Laps currently has an exclusive deal with Netflix.

The new project is apparently not related to a much-discussed and since-delayed feature film based on Madonna's life. The project, which was being developed by Universal Pictures and set to star Ozark and Inventing Anna actress Julia Garner as the pop superstar, was put on an indefinite hold in 2023 as Madonna embarked on her Celebration World Tour. In 2024, however, Madonna sparked rumors that the film might be back in the works, when she shared a since-deleted photo of herself sitting at a typewriter working on a screenplay titled Who's That Girl — an apparent nod to her 1987 film and song of the same name. Still, Madonna herself floated the idea of creating a TV series about her life in November of last year, claiming that a number of 'producers and agents' told her that she wouldn't be able to make her film the way she wanted to. 'Downsize-down scale-think smaller-they say—I realized that everything in my life is going to be challenged,' she wrote in a since-removed post, before asking her fans if they would prefer to see her story adapted into 'a series or a feature film.'
