Or should tv stop giving Rebecca Loos airtime?

[SwiftieGrainger]

Disgusted that Rebecca Loos has been invited on Good Morning Britain to comment ( not the first time ) on the Beckham documentary. The Beckham documentary is 1% about the time she popped up in his narrative and its not authentic to make a show like that without including details of something like the affair with Rebecca that made so many headlines at the time. That said both Victoria and David addressed it respectfully, never named her and didn't really say anything remarkable or ground breaking at the time. For her to now be given TV time about how much it annoys her that it was spoken about is despicable. I'd imagine it's worse for his wife to revisit than her, she just seems so very nasty and bitter. Aibu or should this sort of weird media circus not be on television?

Yabu - I really respect how much she's banging on about it instead of reflecting on the hurt she played a part in and staying quiet.
Yanbu - why is this on our television and why are we paying someone with their morals in the gutter to say their bit?

Well all those people who said she's put it all behind her and she wouldn't go back to giving interviews as she is now married with dc and living a great life got it wrong didn't they

Her name wasn't mentioned, although yeah , everyone knew what they were talking about but here she is again , seemingly not giving a shit that one day her children will read everything she's saying

Exactly! It's not a hate campaign just a please stop giving someone a platform to do this. The daily mail interview was horrible, seemed pissed off at Victoria suffering more than empathetic. And to admit they would talk as the affair began is horrible, no reason to bring it up again now unless you're some sort of bully

Irony?

If you don't know the meaning of that, look it up.

You sound like a bit of a bully lol. I suggest you watch the daily mail interview and consider whether she is defending herself or just being extremely disrespectful to his wife and kids.

I don't believe for a second that the Beckham's didn't have an inkling that bringing this up in the documentary would bring a lot of hate to Rebecca Loos' door. They're not daft- they know how this works. Any mention of the affair, even without naming her, was bound to dredge it all up.

Unfortunately for her, she now has to deal with the aftermath of that after living a completely private life for 20 years. I've never been the subject of an online scandal (😆) but I imagine protecting yourself when you're suddenly the subject of significant public hate costs MONEY. People are nuts, she may feel she needs security to protect herself and her family.

I don't blame her for selling her story regardless of the reasons- she has the right to reply. But also, she may well suddenly have need of money because they mentioned her in the documentary, it's not like she has their billions.

Daily Mail?!

I rest my case.

I suggest you let it go.

Hahaha okay goodnight to you too. I hope other people's opinions don't upset you too much in real life xxx

I don't know why anyone is interested in her opinion. Either:

A - she shagged a celebrity and then sold her story to the gutter press for a considerable sum of money, or:

B - she made the whole thing up, and lied through her teeth to the gutter press for a considerable sum of money.

Whichever it was, she hardly covered herself in glory, did she?

She didn't make it up or they'd have sued. She always said she could easily prove she slept with him and would happily say so in court. It was the Beckham's choice to make the documentary, RL has the right to speak too.

Not being argumentative, sorry to quote your post but just FYI she wasn't living a private life for 20 years. The affair lasted a mere 4 months in 2004 and she was sacked as his pa, days after she was paid 500k by the media to sell her story whilst she shamelessly spoke about their sex life, how she knew Victoria and adored David still following their affair. I really think she thought he would leave his wife and small child for her. She then went through multiple reality tv shows until 2008, did loads of tell alls and sell alls, took the piss out of the affair on TV 'I'm the PA who gives extras' etc etc. I'm not surprised she's resurfaced now.

RL was a naive young woman who lost her job and was lied about horribly.

after making the best of things she disappeared from the media circuit and has been living the quiet life for almost 20 years, only to find herself being papped and abused because DB chose to rake the Whole thing up again. She deserves a right of reply. And an apology.

She was 27 and then well into her 30s remained in the public eye directly talking about it I'm graphic detail such as describing their kissing as magnetic behind Victoria's back, their dirty messages, a private part of his body and how it looked as something only a woman who had been intimate with him would know. She wasn't 17, way old enough to know how much that would break his wife to hear. She might have hated David but his wife didn't deserve that.

You’re right that his wife definitely didn’t deserve a husband who allegedly slept with somebody else.

That too but it doesn't make what Rebecca said or did okay does it? Her part in it was awful.

So he quite publicly cheats on his wife, but RL having the nerve to tell her side of the story is the issue? Are you for real?

Also, the Beckhams would 100% have realised what was going to happen when they spoke about this on the documentary. So either it was worth it as a downside of the fee they were paid / publicity they received, or it was an actually planned for part of the publicity they sought. I imagine it’s even possible that they got paid a certain fee based on the types of subject they agreed to discuss.

No you're misunderstanding, the issue isn't defending oneself it's building a career off of it, swooning over it and reminiscing on the way the romance began whilst speaking about him like it was the start of a live story and casually mentioning his wife, then all of the intimate details. I'm sorry but Victoria and any wife does not deserve that. I'm not sure why you think that's okay?

Out of interest have you watched her interviews and the documentary? It's worth a watch if not.

Surely DB was the one being ‘disrespectful to his wife and kids’ by allegedly having an affair?

Yes of course however on the documentary he isn't horrible about RL at all, he doesn't even name her. He expresses remorse about hurting his wife and since then RL has done these interviews that are just absurd, saying its bothered her that he mentions how Victoria suffered etc. Of course she did!

Also she knew Victoria. Again, in the interviews the way she addresses her is horrific. She knew David was married and happily indulged in it too. Nobody forced her, both hurt her.

You seem so incredibly focused on what she said. I mean I might not think it’s the most conservative behaviour ever, but really, he’s the famous one isn’t he? And the married one at the time? The one who bought it up again recently? On a massively publicized Netflix documentary they were presumedly paid a lot of money for? 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, I’ve seen them. Actually, I was surprised, I didn’t expect to like her much, but she actually comes across quite well.

The thing is, originally, Rebecca Loos went to the papers about the affair. She told her story to the now defunct NOTW when Victoria was pregnant with Cruz.

Rebecca Loos was paid a six-figure sum by the NOTW for the story so you can see why she did it. It was clearly her vendetta that went badly wrong.

The major fury at the time was about Victoria being pregnant. At the time, David was the popular one where women especially didn't like Victoria.

What Rebecca Loos did changed the public perception of Victoria, and everyone was coming out supporting her.

The Beckhams did a Netflix doc. Of course, they were going to be asked about it. What Becks said in the interview wasn't playing the victim.

Was Loos telling the truth. I don't know. I don't care. It's not my business.

Their marriage has survived 25 years, so whatever he did or didn't do, they have worked through it.

Has David admitted it to Posh? If he has, then they have chosen to keep the world out of it by no admittance, which is there right.

Knowing what the media is like, I think it was the right thing to do if it's true

They're both as bad as each other.
