“It was the hardest time of my life because I felt like the whole world was ganging up on us.”. This is what Victoria Beckham says about the Madrid years of her footballer husband, David, in the early 2000s. Freshly sold by Manchester United, after an argument with his coach, Alex Ferguson, the midfielder had packed his bags express to Madrid solo, first, before his family can join him. And during these few months at the start of the season, a scandal broke out…
“Don’t hang up, go find him”
The press found him having an affair with Rebecca Loos, his personal assistant… And if in the documentary “Beckham“, released on Netflix, the athlete refuses to speak about this moment, and prefers to focus on the challenge his family faced at that time, said mistress does not hear it that way…
So in the columns of Daily Mail, Rebecca Loos spoke about their affair, this Saturday October 21, 2023. She said that during an evening, in September 2003, organized by the Brazilian footballer Ronaldo in Madrid, she herself had been deceived by David Beckham . Quite an irony.
That evening she remembered, “There was wonderful food, a samba band from Brazil, and the champagne was flowing”, and the man she was seeing on the sly found himself chatting in the garden with a Spanish model. Rebecca Loos then received a call from Victoria Beckham, and reported that she was “annoyed, because she called David and he didn’t answer.” “I said I didn’t know where he was… She said, ‘Don’t hang up, go find him’” she adds.
At that moment, the assistant explains, she made a sad discovery: “I entered the house, went up the stairs and saw David’s two bodyguards standing in front of a door.“. Pointing at the phone, she then declared “It’s Victoria!“One of the two henchmen entered and “He came back with David. I could see the mannequin in the doorway, lying on the bed. This room was a bedroom” she says.
“You idiot.”
At the moment, assures Rebecca Loos: “I was fuming. I just looked at him, handed him the phone and said, ‘Your wife'”. But for her, the damage was done:“He had me in his clutches, and I was at his complete disposal”. Enough to cool her down a lot, however, since the young woman assures: “I was so hurt. I had a horrible feeling and I was like, ‘You idiot.’
