Account of Alleged Affair’s Genesis
Loos recounted that the alleged intimate relationship commenced shortly after she was employed as the renowned athlete’s personal assistant in 2003. This period coincided with David Beckham‘s relocation from the United Kingdom to Spain to join Real Madrid football club.
Nightclub Encounter and Hotel Room Claim
Loos described an encounter in a nightclub where David Beckham purportedly invited her to join him in his hotel room. “He just maintained eye contact, and I yielded,” Loos declared. “His gaze is quite compelling; it’s difficult to resist. He possesses a certain charismatic power. He is very attractive and accustomed to getting what he desires, and he is aware of it.”
“Hooked” Despite Awareness of Wrongdoing
Despite recognizing the “illicit” nature of the situation, Loos admitted she became “captivated” and asserted the pair were intimate on “just a few occasions.”
Motivation for Public Disclosure
Loos further elaborated on her motives for publicly addressing the purported affair just a month after the initial accusations and photographs of Loos and David Beckham conversing in a nightclub became public. Loos, then 26, explained to 60 Minutes that she sought to regain control over the narrative and pursue a sense of justice.
Seeking Control and Justice
“I always believed it’s preferable for the narrative to originate from me, affording me some semblance of control,” Loos explained. “Furthermore, by being the one to speak out, it was my way of, not precisely retaliating, but highlighting the unfair treatment I endured and the duplicity of his life. I am aware of the significance of his public image to him. I suppose I wanted him to experience some measure of pain as well.”
Reaction to Documentary and Beckham’s Statements
In her recent interview, Loos conveyed her surprise that the alleged affair was addressed in the Beckham docuseries. “I genuinely never anticipated they would delve into this topic, so I was in a state of unawareness when my phone suddenly began ringing incessantly,” Loos recounted. “Initially, my reaction was, ‘What has he disclosed?’ because he had never publicly acknowledged anything related to my claims.”
Disappointment Over Beckham’s “Ludicrous” Dismissal
Loos expressed continued surprise at David Beckham‘s consistent silence regarding the alleged relationship. “I anticipated he would have issued a statement or some form of apology. The fact that he dismissed my claims as ludicrous… it intensified my frustration,” she explained. “It strengthens your resolve to defend yourself and compels you to continue speaking out.”
