Rebecca Loos has slammed David Beckham accusing him of ‘spinning a narrative’ to make her look like ‘the bad person’, after the former footballer spoke about his alleged affair in a bombshell Netflix documentary.

The former Dutch glamour model accused the football pro, and his wife Victoria, of ‘misleading’ audiences in their docuseries Beckham, adding ‘it takes two to tango’.

Rebecca, 47, first made the bombshell claims 20 years ago in the now defunct newspaper, News of the World. David, 48, has always denied the affair, adding that the claims were ‘ludicrous’.

But the scandal reared its head once again, after the Beckham’s spoke of how they endured the ‘hardest period’ of their lives in the wake of the alleged relationship two decades ago.

Throughout the Netflix series the Spice Girl spoke about the pain she suffered following the rumours about the affair, claiming she felt like the couple no longer ‘had each other’.

Meanwhile, David admitted he still doesn’t know how the family got through the crisis and said they felt as though they were ‘drowning’ when the alleged affair with the Dutch glamour model made headlines in 2004. 

Speaking on Good Morning Britain today, Rebecca, who now is a yoga teacher living with her family in Norway, said she was ‘very surprised’ by Beckham’s ‘choice of words’ throughout the series.

It comes after the former PA broke her silence speaking exclusively to the Mail on Sunday, claiming the football pro needed to ‘take responsibility’ over their alleged relationship.

Speaking on the ITV morning show, Rebecca said: ‘I would rather not have to talk about this again. I have left this behind me and moved very much on with my life.

‘But when this documentary came I tried very hard to just let it go and get on with my life but it really bothered me about the angle they used and how he played the narrative, how misleading it is and how he makes me look like the bad person.

‘Of course I am also guilty, but it takes two tango and I never denied it. He said the claims are ludicrous – but ludicrous is not denying it.’

The mother-of-two said she was given no prior warning about the alleged affair being mentioned in the Netflix documentary but admitted it was okay as she ‘didn’t give them warning when I went public’.

Throughout the documentary, and in former denials of the relationship, Beckham has always said he was happily married to his wife, whom he shares four children with.

But Rebecca added this morning: ‘I think there are very many men who are happily married and also have affairs.’

Since the widely watched docuseries made its debut on the streaming service earlier this month, the Dutch model said she has become subject to a horrific campaign of online trolling. 

‘I woke up to all these horrific messages on Instagram and this awful trolling and read about it in the papers with others, I never experienced it because 20 years ago we never had social media,’ she said. 

‘Social media gives me my own voice but of course it’s a double-edged sword,’ she added. 

In the series, Beckham did not admit any guilty or anything remotely inappropriate but said the stories were ‘horrible’ and left him ‘feeling sick every day’.

At the time he had been living in Spain, playing for Real Madrid, while Victoria was back in the UK looking after their eldest two children.

Speaking with the Mail on Sunday just days after the series was released, Rebecca said: ‘It’s all, “poor me”. He needs to take responsibility.

‘He can say whatever he likes of course and I understand he has an image to preserve, but he is portraying himself as the victim and he’s making me look like a liar, like I’ve made up these stories.

‘He is indirectly suggesting that I’m the one who has made Victoria suffer.’

A few months after he relocated to Spain, Rebecca, then 26, was made his client service manager. 

In a short amount of time, Rebecca claims David developed a ‘soft spot’ for her which was reciprocated. She said he tried to hold her hand as they drove through the Spanish capital.

They visited bars in the trendy Chueca district ‘and we had the best croquetas in the city at a tapas place’. 

Photos later emerged of the footballer and his assistant smooching in a nightclub. 

Several months later, Rebecca revealed the story. Beckham flatly denied the story at the time.

He said: ‘During the past few months I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. What appeared this morning is just one further example.

‘The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts.’

‘Yes, the stories were horrible, but they’re true,’ she says. ‘He talks in the documentary about this ultimately being his private life, shutting it down,’ she added.

‘I think it’s one thing to keep your private life to yourself. It’s another thing to mislead the public. And so many people had forgotten about all of this. So many people put all this behind them, this whole affair, the scandal and everything. And he’s dragged it back up again in a way that is affecting my reputation…

‘I think 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 “it was not my proudest time”.

‘The worse bit for me is that he says he didn’t like seeing his wife suffer. That bothered me. Because he’s the one that’s caused the suffering. He could have simply said that this was a tough time and I don’t want to talk about it.

‘If you don’t want to take responsibility for things because of your family and your children that’s absolutely fine. And if he had just said it was a tough time for us and moved on I wouldn’t be here today.

‘But he specifically made it look like… my fault, that he had nothing to do with this.’
