Rebecca Loos has hit out, claiming it was “unjust” how she suffered the consequences following her “affair” with David Beckham. The former glamour model who worked as David’s personal assistant in the early 2000s sensationally claimed she and the Manchester United legend had an affair with one another.

At the time, Beckham, 50, branded the allegations as “ludicrous” but never sought legal assistance to challenge the claims or any interviews that Loos gave. Following the allegations, Rebecca, 48, went on to find fame as a reality star, appearing on The Farm, Celebrity Love Island, and X Factor, before eventually turning her back on fame and finding peace as a yoga teacher in Norway.

Now, she has spoken about how her life completely changed after the allegations were made public and the levels of scrutiny she faced, while David went on to become a global icon. She was branded the “sleazy senorita” and faced claims that she attempted to ruin David’s marriage with Spice Girls legend, Victoria Beckham. It comes after Cruz Beckham ‘steals’ his dad’s tiny white trunks and family have epic response.

Rebecca is set to appear on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which sees her in a completely different light, stripped back from everything she knows. It comes after the Beckham’s launched a huge Netflix documentary about their lives away from the cameras.

“That took me completely by surprise,” she said of the Beckham documentary, adding: “Let’s call it what it was: him trying to portray an image of perfection that was nothing like reality.

“It felt unjust that my life was pretty hell, and his life kept going and kept blossoming. I’ve been accused of being a liar. I’ve had a lifetime of opinions around me, and I’ve definitely developed thick skin.

“I think the public opinion now has softened, at least from what I’m gathering since the documentary came out with the Beckhams a couple of years ago. I think it is now because thanks to social media, there is a whole different following out there, which is a double-edged sword.” But while she feels it’s unjust, she admits some of the blame lies with her.

In a press pack, Rebecca said: “I think I’ve definitely taken most of the blame – rightly so. It was part of my life. He was older than me, he was my boss. But I’m not someone to be silenced when I’ve been wronged, and that documentary took absolutely no responsibility.

“When he said, ‘It was so horrible to see my wife suffer,’ I thought, ‘Mate, think twice about the things you do.'” Like all the recruits, Rebecca faced a grilling in the show’s Mirror Room. Jason Fox and Chris Oliver questioned her motives for being on the show before asking how she felt about her affair with Beckham now that she’s had the time to reflect on it.

In his Netflix 2023 documentary, Beckham didn’t name Rebecca and failed to take any accountability. He just said: “I don’t know how we got through it in all honesty,” on a tricky time when he lived in Madrid.

On being asked about Beckham on the Channel 4 show and what she feels about how things have played out, she added: “I was quite guarded at the beginning. I was trying to be guarded because it’s not something I want to talk about the whole time. But at the same time I also wanted to be honest with them, so they were really good at getting through to me.

“They’re obviously professionals at this. I don’t shy away from what I’ve been through, and I don’t shy away from the decisions that I’ve made. They have shaped me into who I am, and I’ve really learnt a lot from the mistakes that I’ve made in my life and the things that I’ve done. And I really do think that being truthful is the only way to go in life. I’ll stand by that forever.

“It takes a lot of courage to tell the truth and to own up to mistakes that you have made, mistakes and times in your life you’re not proud of. And it’s very easy to just brush them under the carpet and move on. That’s like the coward’s way, I think, of living.”
