Rebecca Loos wants to remind you that it takes two to dance tango.
David Beckhamthe former assistant of – who caused a media frenzy in 2004, when she sold an article to the News Of The World which claimed she had an affair with the football star — told the Daily Mail this weekend, she was “disturbed” by the way the athlete handled their relationship in his recent documentary series “Beckham.”
“He makes himself a victim and makes me look like a liar. It makes me feel like I made up these horrible stories. Loos said in the interview. “It’s all, ‘poor me’. He must take responsibility.
Rebecca Loos in 2006, two years after selling her story about her alleged affair with David Beckham to the News of the World.
In the fourth installment of the Netflix docuseries, the theme of Beckham’s 2004 cheating scandal is addressed quite vaguely. The document does not mention specific details about the alleged affair – nor does it mention Loos by name. He chooses instead to focus on how the tabloid circus surrounding the story affected the footballer and his wife, Victoria Beckham., and their very young children, harassed by the paparazzi.
“Every time we woke up, we felt like there was something else. I think we both felt at that moment that we were not losing each other, but drowning,” David Beckham said in the documentary. “I don’t know how we got through it, in all honesty.”
He added:
“Victoria is everything to me. Seeing her injured was incredibly difficult, but we are fighters. And in those days, we had to fight for each other – we had to fight for our family. And what we had was worth fighting for.
Loos told the Daily Mail that this last quote was what upset her the most about watching “Beckham” and is why she is speaking out now.
“He’s the one who caused all this suffering,” Loos said. “It’s his behavior. It’s his lie.
Loos, a former model, said that before meeting Beckham she worked at an international recruitment agency where she began working as a personal assistant to sports figures. When Beckham joined Real Madrid in 2003, a colleague suggested she work with him because she was born in Madrid and spoke Spanish fluently.
Loos said she was tasked with finding the Beckhams a house in Spain while the footballer was in Asia and his wife was in London. She said that at one point while looking for a place to live, Victoria Beckham asked Loos to only speak to her directly, not her husband.
Despite this, Loos said, she began receiving text messages from David Beckham “late at night.”
Loos said she texted him to let him know that his wife had given her specific instructions not to contact him directly. Loos said the footballer’s response to this was: “We don’t need to tell anyone about this.”
“Those stories were horrible, but they were true,” she told the Daily Mail. “And he’s the one responsible for all of this.” He is the one responsible for his wife’s suffering. It is he who decides to lie to her, to say: “We don’t need to tell my wife.” He made all these choices.
Even though David Beckham has publicly denied the affair, Loos stands by her account and told the Daily Mail why she decided to go public in 2004. She said she discovered that David was sharing the “dirty” texts she sent him with his friends and making fun of her with them . adding that the revelation “hurt” her and caused her to “not care” about hiding the details of their relationship.
“I really accepted the choices I made, the mistakes I made and came to terms with,” Loos told the Daily Mail.
Loos pointed out that she has much less power than the Beckhams and has become the target of public anger for something in which she and David Beckham participated.
“I also have a family, I also have children, and they also have Google and they can also watch documentaries,” Loos said. “And I want them to know that their mother was brave enough to stand up (to the Beckhams). And defend the truth.
