Rebecca Loos Criticised for Weighing Into Beckham Family Drama
Rebecca Loos has sparked controversy and accusations of attention-seeking behaviour after participating in a new documentary about the Beckham family's ongoing public feud. The former PR representative, who made headlines over two decades ago by claiming she had an affair with David Beckham, appears in Channel 5's forthcoming programme The Beckham Feud: Truth And Lies, scheduled to air on February 1.
Viewer Backlash Over Documentary Appearance
The mother-of-two has faced significant backlash on social media for inserting herself into the narrative surrounding Brooklyn Beckham's recent estrangement from his parents. In recently aired footage, Loos suggests that Brooklyn's public statements about his family provide validation for her own claims made twenty-two years ago.
One incensed viewer took to X to express their frustration, writing: 'Why drag that bitter woman, Rebecca Loos, into the equation? She had an affair with a married man who didn't leave his wife for her, so she's clearly got an axe to grind against the Beckhams. She has zero credibility, brings nothing new to the saga, & is attention-seeking YET again.'
Additional critical comments included:
- 'OMG most people would be ashamed of having an affair with a married man, but this loser is back for another 15 minutes of fame - congrats - you're a sleaze bag and just as unlikeable as Brooklyn the brat for broadcasting very hurtful content to the world... now slither away.'
- 'She claims she knowingly slept with a married man. And a client. Both verboten. I don't take away from David's duplicity if true, but isn't Victoria entitled to salvage what she can however she can? Loos should be apologising to her, not lambasting her.'
- 'Rebecca Loos is again telling her stories; if she is a liar, why don't they sue her?'
Historical Context and Current Commentary
Loos first made global headlines in 2003 when she claimed to have had an affair with David Beckham while working as the Beckham family's PR representative following his transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid. Her allegations led to a brief reality television career but have remained a contentious part of Beckham family lore.
In the new documentary, Loos reflects on finding herself at the centre of what she describes as a PR war after going public with her claims. She states: 'Suddenly you're part of a big PR war. In a very small way, this is of course validation for what I said and came forward and said 22 years ago.'
Regarding Brooklyn Beckham's recent social media revelations, Loos adds: 'Brooklyn is basically confirming inauthentic relationships, value of promotion, endorsements above all else, and that it's all focused on brand Beckham, and that that's all that matters.'
Brooklyn Beckham's Public Accusations
The Beckham family conflict entered the public domain last Monday through a series of detailed social media posts from Brooklyn Beckham. The 26-year-old eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham made multiple allegations against his parents, including claims that they have:
- Controlled family narratives in the press throughout his life
- Prioritised public branding over genuine family relationships
- Attempted to sabotage his marriage to American actor Nicola Peltz
- Placed countless lies in media at the expense of innocent people
Brooklyn wrote: 'For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.'
Wedding Controversy and Specific Allegations
Many of Brooklyn's grievances stem from his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz, daughter of billionaire activist investor Nelson Peltz. Specific accusations include:
- Victoria Beckham allegedly bailed at the last minute on designing Peltz's wedding dress
- Victoria hijacked the first dance that Brooklyn was supposed to have with his wife
- His mother danced 'very inappropriately on me in front of everyone'
- His parents attempted to pressure him into signing away rights to his name before the wedding
Loos commented specifically on the first dance incident, noting: 'Whether it came from her or whether it was Marc Anthony is beside the point because it shows a lack of awareness for other people's feelings. I think any other mother would've read the room and understood this is awkward.'
Loos's Social Media Engagement
Shortly after Brooklyn shared his explosive statement last week, Loos engaged with the developing story on social media. Responding to a fan who suggested she might feel extra validation from reading Brooklyn's words, she wrote: 'So happy he is standing up for himself and speaking publicly finally!!!! I have felt so bad for his poor wife, knowing too well what they can be like!'
This interaction, combined with her documentary appearance, has reinforced criticism that Loos is seeking to reinsert herself into the Beckham narrative despite having no direct involvement with Brooklyn or his immediate family members in recent years.
The unfolding situation continues to highlight the complex intersection of celebrity, family dynamics, and public perception that has characterised the Beckham brand for decades.
