Rebecca Loos Sees Validation in Brooklyn Beckham's Explosive Family Statement
Rebecca Loos, the former personal assistant to David Beckham, has launched a fresh critique of Victoria Beckham in a new documentary, asserting that the couple's son Brooklyn's recent bombshell statement serves as "validation for what she said 22 years ago." The 48-year-old, who previously claimed to have had an affair with the married footballer in 2004—allegations David has consistently denied—has weighed in on the family's escalating public feud.
Brooklyn's Statement and Rebecca's Reaction
Last week, Brooklyn Beckham severed ties with his family in a dramatic six-page statement, revealing he has no wish to reconcile and describing his parents as "controlling and manipulative." In response, Rebecca Loos has featured in the upcoming Channel 5 documentary, The Beckham Feud: Truth and Lies, which airs this Sunday. In a clip from the 90-minute special, she reflects on Brooklyn's words, drawing parallels to her own 2004 interview where she claimed David had been unfaithful.
She stated: "Suddenly you're part of a big PR war. In a very small way, this is of course validation for what I said and came forward and said 22 years ago. Brooklyn is basically confirming inauthentic relationships, value of promotion, endorsements above all else, and that it's all focused on brand Beckham, and that that's all that matters."
Wedding Incident and Family Dynamics
Rebecca also addressed Brooklyn's claims that Victoria "hijacked" his first dance with his wife Nicola at their 2022 wedding, after singer Marc Anthony complimented the designer. She commented: "Whether it came from her or whether it was Marc Anthony is beside the point because it shows a lack of awareness for other people's feelings. I think any other mother would've read the room and understood this is awkward."
She suggested that Victoria could have handled the situation differently, perhaps by redirecting the attention to Nicola or having David intervene. Brooklyn's statement detailed that his mother danced "very inappropriately" on him, leaving him feeling "humiliated" and prompting the couple to renew their vows without his family last year.
Social Media Support and Ongoing Feud
Hours after Brooklyn shared his statement, Rebecca expressed support on social media, replying to a fan: "So happy he is standing up for himself and speaking publicly finally!!!! I have felt so bad for his poor wife, knowing too well what they can be like!" She added, "the truth always comes out," echoing Brooklyn's own words.
Rebecca, now living in Norway with her family, gained notoriety in 2004 for her affair claims. David Beckham denied these allegations in his 2023 Netflix documentary, which Rebecca dismissed as an attempt to portray "an image of perfection that was nothing like reality."
Brooklyn's Allegations and Family Fallout
Brooklyn's statement outlined numerous grievances, including:
- Victoria cancelling Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute.
- Pressure to sign away rights to his name before the wedding.
- Being called "evil" for including grandparents at the wedding table.
- Family members stating Nicola was "not blood" and "not family."
- Attacks from his parents and brothers, both privately and publicly.
He claimed that since distancing himself from his family, his crippling anxiety has disappeared, and he has found peace with his wife. The feud has led to Brooklyn and Nicola snubbing significant family events, such as David's 50th birthday and knighthood celebration.
Public Response and Documentary Details
In the wake of Brooklyn's allegations, Victoria Beckham's fans rallied to support her, propelling her 2001 single "Not Such An Innocent Girl" to number one on iTunes charts in the UK and Ireland. Meanwhile, the Beckhams presented a united front at an event in Paris, while Brooklyn shared highlights from a trip to Malibu, underscoring the divide.
The Beckham Feud: Truth and Lies airs on Sunday, 1st February at 9pm on Channel 5, promising further insights into the family's ongoing conflicts and the allegations that have captivated public attention for decades.
