Beckham, Rebecca Loos’ response arrives: “You are not the victim”

He played the victim card. This is Rebecca Loos’ accusation against David Beckham who spoke about their alleged relationship in the Netflix documentary, Beckham. «I understand that he has an image to preserve, but he is painting himself as a victim and making me out to be a liar, as if I made these stories up», said Loos, the former assistant of the soccer star, to the Daily Mail in a new interview published Saturday.

“That’s all, “poor me”. He must take responsibility.” said the 46-year-old who in a 2004 interview claimed that she and the then Real Madrid player had had a love affair behind his wife Victoria Beckham’s back. She said they often sexted.

David Beckham denied any allegations of infidelity. The documentary talks about the difficulty in overcoming that moment. “I don’t know how we got through this in all honesty,” said the Inter Miami co-owner, 48, with his fashion designer wife, 49, at his side.

«The stories were horrible, but they are true» said Rebecca Loos, saying that in the documentary it seems that Beckham suggests that she was the one who made Victoria suffer. «The stories were horrible, but they are true. In the documentary she talks about what is ultimately her private life, closing it off. I think it’s one thing to keep your private life to yourself. It’s another thing to deceive the public.”

Loos, who now works as a medical assistant in Norway, said the only reason she speaks out against the documentary is because she feels the need to defend herself. «I also have a family and I have children and they also have Google and they can also watch documentaries. And I want them to know that their mother was brave enough to stand up to them and defend the truth.”
