A recent “60 Minutes Australia” interview with David Beckham’s ex-assistant, Rebecca Loos, has reignited discussions around their alleged affair from two decades ago. The controversy made headlines when Loos claimed Beckham was having an affair with her. However, the former footballer denied the allegation, calling it “ludicrous.” Loos, who maintained she “never lied,” opened up about the “traumatic” high-profile controversy and said that she stood by “the truth.”
Rebecca Loos claims David Beckham made a move on her at a nightclub
Rebecca Loos, David Beckham’s ex-assistant, publicly claimed they had an affair in 2004. Her recent appearance on “60 Minutes Australia” showed her standing by her allegations. Though Beckham always denied the claim, Loos’s revelations sparked a discussion that has not dissipated in over twenty years. Moreover, Beckham’s subtle references to the alleged affair in his 2023 Netflix documentary prompted Loos to address the issue.
During the interview, the media personality reflected on the romance, describing how she went from feeling special to realizing she had been “massively played.” Beckham’s ex-assistant admitted that she believed his words while being “infatuated” with the former footballer. However, she saw her alleged lover with another model at Cristiano Ronaldo’s birthday party only two weeks after the beginning of her affair with Beckham.
Loos opened up, stating, “I fell hook, line, and sinker for every single cliché line he fed me.” However, it was not until an outlet reported Beckham’s affair with his ex-assistant that she spoke out about the matter publicly. Exposing photos of the two together at a nightclub, where Beckham allegedly made a move on Loos, the tabloid caused massive backlash.
The former Dutch model admitted in the interview that she refused to let the media control the narrative despite panicking over her private life becoming a global scandal. In addition to dealing with the public backlash, she did not waver in her claims. Reflecting on the intense media scrutiny, she claimed it impacted her “mental health in a way that it was quite traumatic.” Insisting she “never lied” about the extramarital affair and how David Beckham’s denial frustrated her, the ex-assistant stated she has never been ready to back down.
