Rebecca Loos has launched a fresh verbal assault on Victoria Beckham within a new documentary exploring the family's long-running and explosive feud. The former personal assistant to David Beckham asserts that the recent bombshell statement issued by the couple's eldest son, Brooklyn, provides clear validation for her own controversial claims made over two decades ago.
Decades-Old Allegations Resurface
Rebecca Loos, now 48, first catapulted to global notoriety in 2004 when she publicly alleged she had engaged in an affair with the married football star, David Beckham. These claims have been consistently and repeatedly denied by David throughout the intervening years. The documentary, titled The Beckham Feud: Truth and Lies, airing on Channel 5 this Sunday, provides a platform for Loos to revisit these events in light of the family's current turmoil.
Brooklyn's Explosive Accusations
The catalyst for Loos's latest commentary is a six-page statement released by Brooklyn Beckham last week. In this dramatic missive, Brooklyn severed ties with his family, revealed he has no desire for reconciliation, and labelled his parents as "controlling and manipulative." He further alleged that he has been "controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else" and described finding peace only after marrying Nicola Peltz.
In a clip from the 90-minute documentary special, Loos reflects on Brooklyn's words, drawing a direct parallel to her own 2004 interview. "Suddenly you're part of a big PR war," she states. "In a very small way, this is of course validation for what I said and came forward and said 22 years ago." She interprets Brooklyn's statement as confirmation of inauthentic relationships and a family culture prioritising the Beckham brand above all else.
Weighing In on Wedding Drama
Loos also addresses specific claims from Brooklyn's statement regarding his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn accused his mother, Victoria, of hijacking their first dance after singer Marc Anthony complimented the designer. Loos critiques the incident, suggesting it demonstrated a lack of awareness.
"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," Loos remarks. She posits that another mother might have gracefully redirected the compliment to the bride, or that David could have intervened to allow the newlyweds their moment.
Social Media Support and Ongoing Denials
Mere hours after Brooklyn shared his statement online, Rebecca Loos entered the fray on social media. Replying to a fan's suggestion that she might feel validated, she wrote, "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!" In another comment, she echoed Brooklyn's own words, writing, "the truth always comes out."
David Beckham addressed the 2004 allegations in his 2023 Netflix documentary, maintaining his denial. Rebecca Loos has dismissed this portrayal, insisting it was an attempt to project an image of perfection far removed from reality. She now lives in Norway with her husband and children, but the spectre of the past continues to loom large.
The Roots of the Rift
Brooklyn's statement paints a picture of a deep and acrimonious family divide. He claims fractures began at his wedding, where he alleges Victoria cancelled making Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute. The couple, Brooklyn and Nicola, have subsequently snubbed major family events, including David's 50th birthday and knighthood celebrations. They even renewed their vows privately last year, without his family present.
In a bizarre twist following Brooklyn's allegations—which included a claim about inappropriate dancing—Victoria Beckham's fans rallied online. Their campaign successfully propelled her 2001 solo single, Not Such An Innocent Girl, to number one on the iTunes charts in the UK and Ireland, marking her first ever solo chart-topper.
\nThe new documentary promises to delve deeper into these tangled truths and lies, with Rebecca Loos positioning Brooklyn's very public family rebellion as a long-awaited vindication of her own disputed story from over two decades past.
