As Rebecca Loos lashes out at David Beckham, insiders tell Closer that his “shaken” wife Victoria is taking matters into her own hands
Victoria Beckham’s worst nightmare became a reality last week when her husband’s alleged former mistress, Rebecca Loos, gave a candid interview in response to his latest Netflix documentary. She revealed yet more explosive details about the biggest showbiz scandal of the noughties that almost tore the Beckham marriage apart – including an allegation that she once caught David in bed with a model.
And insiders say Victoria Beckham – aka Posh, 49 – has blamed David, 48, for triggering Rebecca’s latest tell-all which has thrust their 23-year marriage back into the spotlight – and could encourage other women to make accusations.

“There were some horrible stories that were difficult to… deal with,” he admitted.
“It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage.”
Hitting back, Rebecca – who now lives in the Norwegian mountains with her husband, Sven Christjar Skaiaa, and two sons – blasted, “It’s all, ‘poor me’. He needs to take responsibility.”
VICTIM
“Yes, the stories were horrible, but they’re true. He can say whatever he likes of course, and I understand he has an image to preserve, but he is portraying himself as the victim and he’s making me look like a liar, like I’ve made up these stories.”
