After the broadcast, the documentary - Beckham/Beckham - revealing the inside story of the derailment must be what everyone wants to know most, soToday I will tell you about this in detail.

Netflix's documentary about football's golden boy Beckham - BECKHAM - was finally released on October 4. Although the content is only 4 episodes, the climax of the process is no less than that of the eight o'clock series. It is also conceivable that the 48-year-old,Life has been so dramatic since childhood, and the one that attracted the most attention was the Beckham cheating incident mentioned in Episode 4!

Many people saw the former golden girls Beckham and Victoria, who had been married for 24 years and gave birth to four children, and thought that their marriage was going smoothly. In fact, this was not the case. In 2004, they faced a major scandal in which they almost divorced: BeckhamHam cheated on personal assistant Rebecca Loos!

This extramarital affair made headlines almost every day at that time, and it would be an understatement to describe it as a sensation around the world.

The incident began in 2003 when Beckham was traded by the English football team Manchester United to Real Madrid in Spain. Because he was forced to transfer teams, and it was his first time to play in another country, he was unfamiliar with the place and the language.Doesn’t make sense.

Therefore, he had no choice but to hire a Spanish-speaking assistant Rebecca (personally selected by Victoria) to take care of Beckham's local diet and daily life, as well as daily communication with the team.

Beckham originally hoped that his wife and children could move to Spain with him. However, as a “Spice Girl”, Victoria's career was still prosperous, and her eldest son Brooklyn was about to start school. Various factors made her unwilling.After leaving the UK, the two began to live apart with less gathering and more separation.

Unexpectedly, Rebecca ended up living in Beckham's bed and leaked the news to the media. From then on, the world was in chaos and shocked the world.

Not only did “heartthrob” Beckham's image of a good gentleman, a good husband and a good father that he had built up over the years be destroyed overnight, even his marriage to Victoria was reported to be about to divorce minute by minute.(In the documentary, the name Rebecca Loos was only mentioned in the newspaper)

Let's first listen to what Victoria said in 2004, pretending to be strong: “I haven't shed a single tear, I believe in David (Beckham).”

But in the 2023 documentary, she said with red eyes and choked up: It was the most difficult moment. In the past, the whole world was against us, and now we are against each other. Fortunately, in the end, we were still united and supported each other..“

Victoria further revealed: ”If I have to be honest, I really hate him. To be honest, that period was probably the most painful time in my life.“

As for Beckham back then, he remained silent and bought many valuable gifts, including diamond rings, various famous brands, and mansions, to please Victoria.

Today, Beckham responded excitedly: ”Honestly, I don’t know how I got through it at the time, but Victoria was everything to me. Seeing her hurt made me sad and heartbroken. Fortunately, we are warriors.At that time we needed to fight for each other and I needed to fight for my family.“

Just after the scandal broke out, Victoria chose to forgive her husband. Without saying a word, she quickly moved to Spain with her 5-year-old son and 2-year-old second son to be with her husband, and used a positive attitude to save the marriage.

Beckham recalled feeling guilty at the time. He said: "Some days I wake up and think about how to work, how to walk into the stadium, how to pretend that nothing is wrong?"But every day when I open my eyes, I feel sick. What should I do?”

During the conversation, Beckham's eyes were already red, but he was also grateful that he and his wife could support each other and stay married to this day.

In fact, Victoria was in great pain at that time. She recalled the days when she moved her family to Spain. Every day she had to be busy repairing her marriage with her husband, being chased by many media 24 hours a day, working and taking care of her children., the whole family felt particularly uncomfortable.

Perhaps the documentary only focuses on Beckham's derailment this time, but the coverage back then was definitely more exciting than it was.

It is said that the assistant Rebecca was very scheming. She said that she did not like men in order to deceive Victoria's trust. She followed Beckham to Spain and then exposed the two of them to bed in April 2004.The media knows.

In an interview, she claimed that her relationship with Beckham lasted for four months, during which the two had a heated relationship.At this time, even Beckham's accompanying bodyguard came out to add fuel to the fire, claiming that Beckham and Rebecca often kissed in the car as if no one else was around, and he himself had sent the couple to the hotel three times in a row.

According to reports, Rebecca made a profit of 1 million pounds (nearly NT$40 million) for complaining about the scandal with Beckham. She also appeared on the cover of a Spanish men's magazine, which can be regarded as both fame and fortune.Later she moved to Norway and is currently teaching yoga to make a living.

In the documentary, although the accelerated printing and distribution of newspapers is only used to bring out the story of Beckham's derailment, in fact, in addition to Rebecca, there was another woman, Salama, in this scandal that shocked the world.Sarah Marbeck, also appeared in the newspaper.

This is a week after Rebecca and Beckham's extramarital affair was exposed. Salama Baker, a Malaysian-Australian model, also claimed to have an affair with Beckham. However, Beckham claimed that the tabloidThe accusation is not only absurd and unsubstantiated, but also claims that it has entrusted a lawyer to discuss possible legal actions.

However, Salama Baker was absolutely certain. She revealed that she had a romantic relationship with Beckham when Victoria was pregnant with her second child. They had sex within 4 hours of meeting each other. She also nicknamed Beckham “Peter Pan”, and Beckham called her “Tinkerbell”. The two were together for half a year. It was not until Victoria gave birth to her second child, Romeo, that the relationship really came to an end.

Although in the face of overwhelming evidence, Victoria put her children and family first, chose forgiveness and tolerance, and had to accept the cruel fact that her husband was having an affair, but was it really just like that?

There were reports that the two had actually turned against each other at the time, but Beckham was so good at coaxing his wife that he even knelt down to beg for forgiveness in private. Only then did Beckham lose most of her anger, and she could only forgive him in the end.

There are also reports that it was divorced or forgiven that year?Victoria had found a team of public relations experts for this purpose, and the conclusion reached through the research was that although the British resisted cheating in marriage, they preferred the prodigal son type, and divorce would damage the reputation of the couple at the same time.Ham's star value dropped to rock bottom.

Therefore, under the advice of experts, Victoria chose to forgive her husband, quickly became pregnant and gave birth to her third child the following year. As a result, the public opinion of the two quickly rebounded, and Beckham's commercial value also became higher.

In fact, Beckham's extramarital affair, not only with the two women mentioned vaguely in the documentary, but also with the third and fourth women, was not mentioned, but it was also a big deal back then.

In 2010, the British Daily Mail reported that Irma Nici, a call girl, revealed that she had had a relationship with David Beckham. Beckham completely denied this and sued the person who first broke the news about the incident.magazine.

In 2018, the British media broke the news that Beckham had an extramarital affair with his daughter Harper's teacher behind his wife's back, and even got him pregnant.But Beckham refused to admit it as always, saying that everything was just a random fabrication by the media.

As for Victoria, she always insisted on standing by her husband's side, smiling and saying forgiveness again and again, posting family photos, taking the whole family to watch shows, taking practical actions to break all divorce rumors, and slapping the media who spread scandals.
