David Beckham’s Netflix special: Unveiling the scandals behind the stardom

The 1990s were dominated by Brand Beckham. David Beckham and Victoria Beckham's union catapulted them to an unparalleled fame stratosphere. Yet, beneath the glitz, several unseen truths emerge in the recently released four-part Netflix documentary titled Beckham. Most notably, despite being married to one of football's most iconic figures, Victoria candidly admits she’s “not into football” and likely never will be. Recalling their secret rendezvous in the early days, she light-heartedly comments on their attempts to keep their relationship under wraps, saying, “It’s less seedy than it sounds.”

Scandals that rocked Beckhams' world

In 2004, a storm hit their seemingly perfect union when the British newspaper News of the World spotlighted Beckham's alleged affair with Rebecca Loos post his move to Real Madrid. Though the documentary doesn’t confront the allegations head-on, both David and Victoria reflect on its profound impact on their marriage. Beckham, appearing visibly moved, reveals, “I don’t know how we got through it...To see her hurt was incredibly difficult.”

Furthermore, the documentary shines light on one of the darkest moments in Beckham’s football career – his infamous 1998 World Cup red card. This incident led to a nationwide backlash, which Victoria describes as “public bullying on another level,” leaving her husband "clinically depressed" and "broken."
