David Beckham's former assistant Rebecca Loos insists she ‘never lied' about affair claims
Rebecca Loos, David Beckham's former assistant, is not backing down from her claims that she had an affair with the former soccer player while he was married to Victoria Beckham over 20 years ago.
During Sunday's episode of "60 Minutes Australia," the Dutch model-turned-yoga instructor, 47, opened up about her "truth" and explained why she believes her choice to go public with her claims was "brave."
"In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them," Loos said during her interview. "I have stuck to the truth. I've never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing."
"Why? Because I'm going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media who have all the money in the world for the best PR, the best lawyers. And all I had on my side was the truth," she added.
During the interview, Loos said Victoria was out of town the first time David made a move on her.
"He said 'let's go back to my hotel,'" Loos claimed.
Loos said it was "the look in his eyes" that ultimately made her "give in."
"The way he looks at you, he's got a certain charismatic power," she said. "He can easily get what he wants and he knows it."
"I fell hook, line and sinker for every single cliché line he fed me," Loos said. "And then two weeks later we were at [Christiano] Ronaldo's birthday party, and he's off with this beautiful model. And I was like, 'Uh.' That was a hard night for me. I was like, 'Uh, I don't understand.' And realization started to hit that I'd been massively played."
A representative for David did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment regarding Loos' new interview.
Loos originally came forward about an alleged, four-month relationship with the footballer in 2004. She had worked as his assistant the previous year.
At the time, David denied all the allegations and released a statement saying he was "very happily married," and that "There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts."
The allegations resurfaced in the 2023 documentary, "Beckham" - a Netflix production that took a deep dive into the lives of the retired soccer player and former Spice Girl.
"I don't know how we got through it, in all honesty," David said of the infidelity rumors in the documentary, which did not directly name Loos as the alleged mistress. "Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we're fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family."
"And what we had was worth fighting for."
While discussing their marital struggles, Victoria opened up about the resentment she felt toward her husband after he was traded from Manchester United in England to Real Madrid in Spain in 2003 – when Loos became his assistant.
"Did I resent David? If I am being totally honest, yes I did," Victoria said.
Victoria did not immediately move to Spain and chose to stay in England to raise their young sons while David was playing soccer in Madrid.
"It was probably, if I'm being honest, the most unhappy I have ever been in my life," she added. "It wasn't that I felt unheard because I chose to internalize a lot of it because I was always mindful of a focus that he needed."
"It was an absolute circus — and everyone loves it when the circus comes to town, right? Unless you're in it," she said.
After the documentary aired, Loos said David was playing the "victim" and made her out to be a "liar."
"He is making himself a victim, and he's making me look like the liar," she said in an interview with the Daily Mail at the time. "He's making me look like I've made up these horrible stories. I'm the one that's made Victoria suffer. Poor him. He's had nothing to do with this. And it was so awful."
"I think it's one thing if you don't want to take responsibility for things at home because of your family and your children, that's absolutely fine, and if he hadn't even mentioned any of that and just said it was a tough time for us and moved on, I wouldn't be here today," she continued.
"If he was going to touch on this time and how difficult it was, it would have been really nice for him to have said, 'Not my proudest time… It was a tough time for us.' Something like that. Just maybe a little bit of acknowledgment. Or no acknowledgment at all and don't even touch the subject… I never received any closure. If somebody had just called me – if he had just called me and said, 'I'm so sorry, how can we fix this?' Things would be so different…. I was made to look like a liar. I felt like I had to continue to defend myself."

Netflix's ‘Million Dollar Beach House' star killed in Hamptons hit-and-run
Reality star and luxury real estate agent Sara Burack is dead after a hit-and-run, Southampton Town Police Department confirmed with Fox News Digital. She was 40. Burack, best known for her appearances on Netflix's "Million Dollar Beach House" and "Selling the Hamptons," was struck along Montauk Highway near the Villa Paul Restaurant, located at 162 W Montauk Hwy, on June 19, authorities confirmed. Burack was found unconscious and was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital. Police are still searching for the driver involved. A realtor from NestSeekers International, who is a close family friend, shared with Fox News Digital that she was with Burack's mother and sister at the hospital before her tragic death. Burack went into cardiac arrest at the scene, but was revived and was put on life support, according to the friend. She suffered extensive brain injuries, a fractured skull and various brain bleeds. "She was just a great person… a hard worker. Real estate was her life for so many years," she shared with Fox News Digital. The two worked together at NestSeekers International before Burack's sudden death. When Burack wasn't involved in real estate projects, Fox News Digital's source said that her dear friend enjoyed raising money for philanthropy and charity events. Burack co-chaired galas and black-tie events in New York City while raising money for several causes and foundations. "A lot of people loved her and knew her. She's such a good person and would help anyone," the source concluded. In 2020, the real estate expert shared her career experience with "My family has a commercial construction material sales business that I spent many years of my life working for," Burack said at the time. "I have always been intrigued by real estate projects and decided to become a broker after my experience as a summer property manager in the summer house I would rent." Burack added, "I have been spending half the year in the Hamptons for the past 11 years. It was only natural to turn my love for real estate into a blossoming career." "Million Dollar Beach House" aired on Netflix in 2020 for one season and "Selling the Hamptons" aired on HBO Max in 2022.

Astroworld is back in the spotlight and survivors are sharing haunting stories on TikTok
Astroworld is back in the news, and social media has some thoughts. In November 2021, a deadly crowd surge at Travis Scott's Astroworld music festival claimed the lives of 10 people. The then-annual event, held in the rapper's hometown of Houston, became one of the worst concert tragedies in U.S. history. It is now the subject of the new Netflix documentary Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy. With renewed interest in the incident, survivors have taken to social media to share their own footage from the event. 'Only if I knew bro,' one attendee posted on TikTok over footage of himself in the crowd. The audio accompanying the clip is taken from the documentary: 'It started getting pretty hectic,' one survivor says. 'I'm like 'Oh my god I can't take a deep breath,'' adds another. 'Since everyone else is sharing their Astroworld experience,' another TikTok user wrote in the caption of a clip, which shows him tightly packed in the crowd as Scott performs. 'Not too long after this I got bumped into due to the crowd swaying and ended up falling on top of someone in the fetal position,' he wrote. 'We ended up getting out but man it was a struggle.' In other horrifying footage, the panicking audience can be heard calling for help. 'I've never posted this video before, rest in peace to all innocent lives lost,' the closed captions read over the video. Even before Scott took the stage, the crowd seemed to sense something was wrong. 'We are gonna die,' one attendee 'jokes' in a clip, now with 10.3 million views, filming the unsafe conditions. 'Saying this as a joke but on the inside this was a real feeling,' she wrote in the closed captions. 'This about to be bad when it starts,' another can be heard saying. 'Bro literally called it,' the captions add. 'I believe Astroworld 2021 was not an accident,' crowd safety expert Scott Davidson says in the documentary. 'It was an inevitability due to the lack of foresight and the abandonment of basic safety protocols.' Nearly 5,000 people were injured as a result of the crush. The Netflix documentary, which premiered on June 10, features interviews with several survivors. In total, 10 people lost their lives: Axel Acosta, Danish Baig, Rudy Peña, Madison Dubiski, Franco Patiño, Jacob Jurinek, John Hilgert, Bharti Shahani, Brianna Rodriguez, and Ezra Blount, who was just nine years old.
