00:00 Rebecca Loos is responding to comments about her alleged affair with David Beckham.
00:04 In 2004, the Dutch model, who was David's assistant at the time,
00:09 claimed the famed soccer star cheated on his wife, Victoria Beckham, with her.
00:14 Rumors that resurfaced when David addressed the reports
00:18 during his new Netflix documentary Beckham in early October.
00:22 On October 1st, Rebecca posted a photo of herself doing a yoga pose on Instagram
00:27 and captioned it "Hello October, letting go and finding strength in the mountains of life."
00:33 People flooded her comments section on the post to weigh in on whether or not
00:37 they thought the infidelity was true, sparking a response from Rebecca.
00:42 "If it wasn't true then they would have sued for defamation," one person wrote.
00:47 The 46-year-old seemingly supported that notion with a cryptic response,
00:52 mentioning the commenter and adding a praying hands emoji.
00:55 While another fan called out the haters, saying the comments on Rebecca's post were "disgusting"
01:01 and she seemed to agree again, responding,
01:04 "Thank you. Am taking in the nasty comments with as much humor as I can."
01:09 In the documentary, the soccer legend breaks his silence on the accusations that he had
01:14 the affair while playing in Spain for Real Madrid after transferring from Manchester United.
01:20 "When I first moved to Spain, it was difficult because I'd been part of a club and a family for
01:36 my whole career from the age of 15 to I was 27 years old. I get sold overnight.
01:46 The next minute I am in a city, I don't speak the language. More importantly, I didn't have my
01:54 family." His wife also speaks out on the alleged infidelity and opens up about the pain she felt
02:01 at the time. "You know, up until Madrid, sometimes it felt like us against everybody else. But we
02:12 were together, we were connected, we had each other. But when we were in Spain, it didn't really
02:18 feel like we had each other either. And that's sad. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was
02:27 and how it affected me." "You know, every time that we woke up, we felt, you know, there was
02:37 something else. And, you know, we felt that, I think we both felt at the time that we were
02:42 not losing each other, but drowning. Victoria is everything to me.
02:49 To see her hurt is incredibly difficult. But
03:02 we're fighters. And at that time, we needed to fight for each other. We needed to fight
03:08 for our family." The couple have previously denied the claims against David, but Victoria
03:14 admitted in the four-part series that back then she began to resent her husband. "If I'm being
03:20 totally honest, yes, I did. It was probably, if I'm being honest, the most unhappy I have ever been
03:26 in my entire life. It wasn't that I felt unheard because I chose to internalize a lot of it because
03:36 I was always mindful of the focus that he needed." The 48-year-old pro didn't hold back when
03:43 explaining how the bombshell reports impacted him. "There were some days that I would wake up and
03:48 think, 'How am I going to go to work? How am I going to walk onto that training pitch? How am
03:52 I going to look as if nothing's wrong?' I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes.
04:00 How am I going to do this?" The pair fought for their marriage and are still together after 24
04:05 years with four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. In another vulnerable moment caught
04:11 on camera, Victoria reacts to the news that David had to miss the birth of their youngest son
04:16 for a photo shoot with Beyonce and JLo. "You've got a damn photo shoot with Jennifer Lopez,
04:22 who is gorgeous and not about to have a baby. So I had my C-section and I remember lying there.
04:30 Don't feel at my most gorgeous, let's just say."
04:34 "And I remember someone showing me the front page of the newspaper, which was a gorgeous picture
04:46 of David between Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce, and the headline was 'What would Posh say?'
04:52 Now I've got another beautiful son and his mummy is very, very good, so."
04:58 "Let me tell you what Posh would say. Posh was pissed off."
05:01 David was joined by his family on the red carpet at the UK premiere and danced the night away with
05:06 his wife afterwards. He shared a sweet photo with his lady love on Instagram and wrote,
05:12 "Still making her laugh with my dancing 26 years on. Love you @victoriabeckham and thank you for
05:18 being there for dad last night, kitties @brooklynpelzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham
05:24 #harper7. Sorry about dad's moves." Access Hollywood spoke to the father of four on the
05:31 red carpet and he reflected on his latest project. "Congratulations on the documentary. It really
05:37 shows one of the many reasons why you're so successful is your incredible resilience. In
05:44 your own words, what do you put that down to? Where do you get it from?"
05:48 "My parents, simple as that. I came from an East End family working class that worked hard. My dad
05:56 still worked when he was 72, 73 years old. My mum was still cutting hair when she was 70 years old.
06:05 So I come from a really working class, humble background. And the resilience has just, I assume,
06:12 come from my parents, my grandparents, because there were difficult times. There were difficult
06:18 times over the years."
06:19 "Who is Anna?"
06:19 "Hi!"
06:20 "My nephew, Jake."
06:23 "Nice to meet you. Love you."
06:25 "I'm so excited."
06:26 "Thank you for being here."
06:27 "No, I'm so excited. I'm so very glad to be at a fashion show. It's going to be wonderful."
06:33 "Anna, is he still as stylish as ever?"
06:35 "Perfect."
06:35 "He looks amazing, doesn't he? What's his secret for being a style icon?"
06:39 "He's a really good person."
06:40 "I can't argue with that."
06:43 "I can't argue with that."
06:44 "What was the most challenging thing for you to share honestly in this documentary?"
06:49 "I think there was many challenges. The challenge was going back over things. I think that I'd never
06:57 really thought about '98. And everything that happened to me in '98, I kind of just moved on
07:02 very quickly. Even though there was a lot of stuff going on around me, I was protected by
07:08 Manchester United, by my teammates, by Sir Alex Ferguson and by the Manchester United fans. So
07:13 going over '98 and seeing some of the footage and seeing some of the archive from that was really
07:19 tough."
07:20 "Has your family watched this?"
07:22 "We've seen little bits, but I wanted tonight to be the first time that we all sat there and all
07:29 watched it. I've seen a couple of the edits, but I really trusted the team. I really trusted
07:35 Netflix. I really trusted Fisher and John Battyk and Nicola Howson and Billy Shepard and our
07:41 amazing editor, Michael Hart. And I really trusted them. So I really wanted tonight to be really the
07:48 first time that I sat down and watched it fully graded, watched all of the music, all put in there.
07:52 So we'll see."
07:54 "I hope it goes well with your family. Your family is mentioned all the time because it's the
07:58 backbone to your success and your love. Of course, your family really started when you met Victoria,
08:03 but how did you manage to keep it under wraps? Because that's what our manager said, you were
08:09 already a really famous soccer stun and so was she."
08:12 "Well, I was just coming into obviously the fold at Manchester United and obviously Victoria was
08:18 the biggest star. She was obviously posh spice in the Spice Girls and world famous. So that was the
08:24 difficult part."
08:25 "How did you do it? Meeting in cars?"
08:28 "We're from, we're both from, you know, she's from Harlow, I'm from East London, I'm from,
08:35 you know, Chinkford, Leytonstone. So we just found a way of keeping it quiet. We met in car parks.
08:40 I drove down to London to see her on a day off."
08:43 "It worked."
08:44 "We sneaked around the back of the beefy car parks and sat with each other for hours."
08:50 "Any correlation with Taylor Swift because she's got a hankering for a sports person now?"
08:55 "No, as long as she's happy, that's the most important thing. You know, Taylor's such a
08:59 talented person. My daughter is a huge fan, my son's a huge fan. I think we're all huge fans.
09:06 But the most important thing is that she's happy and if she's happy, whatever she's doing,
09:10 that's the most important thing."
09:11 "Thank you so much for stopping and thank you very much. Good night."
