Rebecca Loos has spoken out about how ‘hurt’ she felt when David Beckham 'showed her naughty texts to his laughing friends'.
The Beckham family have been in headlines recently after the release of a new Netflix documentary, which spills the tea on the ups and downs of dad David’s professional and personal life.
This includes his alleged affair with Rebecca Loos, his former assistant, with wife Victoria admitting it marked the ‘hardest period’ of their lives.

“I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me,” she says in the docuseries.
“It was a nightmare.
“It was an absolute circus - and everyone loves it when the circus comes to town right? Unless you’re in it.”
Rebecca doesn’t appear in the documentary, but has now broken her silence in a new interview.

Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, she addressed claims she had a fling with Becks after his move to Real Madrid in 2003.
“Yes, the stories were horrible, but they're true,” Rebecca said.
“[David] talks in the documentary about this ultimately being his private life, shutting it down.

"I think it's one thing to keep your private life to yourself. It's another thing to mislead the public. And so many people had forgotten about all of this.
"So many people put all this behind them, this whole affair, the scandal and everything. And he's dragged it back up again in a way that is affecting my reputation...
“The worse bit for me is that he says he didn't like seeing his wife suffer. That bothered me. Because he's the one that's caused the suffering.”
She added: “If you don't want to take responsibility for things because of your family and your children that's absolutely fine.

"And if he had just said it was a tough time for us and moved on I wouldn't be here today.
"But he specifically made it look like… my fault, that he had nothing to do with this."

Rebecca said she became ‘more laissez-faire' about the alleged affair after finding out her personal messages to David were being shared around.

She recalled: “We were texting and it was getting naughty, it was fun… then suddenly I get a text from the Spanish bodyguard.
“It said, ‘Stop. He’s showing them to all his friends and they are laughing’.
“I was very hurt. And that hurt and that pain led me to become more laissez-faire and to not give a s*** about keeping this big secret for him.”
Rebecca is now living in Norway – her home of the past 14 years - with her partner and has two children, working as a medical assistant and teaching yoga.
“It's not like England here, it's much less judgmental,” she said.
"I used to get people coming up to me in Waitrose, right in my face, taking pictures of me with their mobiles.
"Here people are cool about it. They don't care. Most of them [Norwegian friends] say, 'Well, I was with a married man once and I did this…' It's like everyone has done something at some point."
