Victoria Beckham is the unfortunate soul who had to sit back and watch as this whole debacle rumbled on across the media. Although she was famous for being David's partner she also had an incredibly successful career in the music industry as part of the pop group 'The Spice Girls'.

The news publication that seemed to create the most conversation around the scandal was that of the News of the World. That's because Rebecca Loos sold her story exclusively to them and in the context of history this was one of the last major cheating stories to hit the front pages.

Soon after the story broke via the newspapers, Rebecca Loos went on to appear on the UK's Sky News to further discuss the affair for the first time on our screens. Throughout the interview she revealed numerous bits of information, including some details surrounding the affair.

One of the most devastating parts of the alleged affair for Victoria was that it was something supposedly happening right beneath her nose. Rebecca and Victoria had managed to build a somewhat close relationship thanks to the two of them being close to one another round David.

Amongst all of the details that Rebecca Loos revealed in her interviews, she dropped the bombshell that this affair wasn't just a one off thing but something that occurred multiple times before she ended up leaving her job as David Beckham's personal assistant in 2004.
There Was No Legal Challenge

One of the most damning pieces of evidence against David Beckham throughout this whole scandal was that he never launched any form of legal challenge against Rebecca Loos for her claims. Usually, to defend themselves, celebs accused of cheating might take their accuser to caught for defamation.
Rebecca Clearly Agrees With This

Clearly this is something that Rebecca Loos agrees with as she recently responded to a commenter on her Instagram post who made the same comment. She has kept fairly quiet since the incident but these little comments might make you think she could have more to say soon!
The Beckhams Have Always Denied It

From the weeks and through the years since the affair was originally alleged, both David and Victoria Beckham have both continued to deny the allegations. They released statements at the time and even through the documentary they never really revealed whether or not it was true.

Throughout the David Beckham documentary on Netflix there was a lot of discussion around the alleged affair and the effect it had on the couple. Victoria revealed, unsurprisingly, that at the time she felt a hatred towards her husband because of the emotional turmoil she was put through.

David also addressed the allegations within the documentary and claimed that some of the stories in print and media were far-fetched and quite difficult to deal with. He also said that the whole process was one of the most powerful bits of pressure that either of them had ever been put through.

Continuing to open up on the alleged affair in the documentary, Victoria claimed that the whole period was the hardest in her life. The whole process made her question whether or not she was with the right person and if she would be able to continue on the path she was on.

Further in to the conversation in the documentary, David Beckham became extremely emotional and explained that he didn't know if they were going to be able to get through it all. He claimed that they both had to fight for one another to keep the relationship going.

The whole affair came at a bad time for David, he was in a country he didn't speak the language of and he spent a lot of time alone. New stories were arriving every day and for a period he felt as though he was scared to play football as he didn't know how the relationship would cope through the crisis.
It Boosted Rebecca's Career

Despite receiving a lot of slack for her role in introducing the affair to the public, in the long run, the whole scandal benefitted her career massively. In the years following the allegations Rebecca Loos made a career for herself appearing on reality shows like Celebrity Love Island and The X-Factor.

Despite everything that went on, both David and Victoria were able to continue through their respective careers following a difficult period for the duo. David carried on playing soccer for the foreseeable, even ending up playing and owning a team here in the US eventually.

Obviously, David and Victoria didn't allow the alleged affair to have an everlasting impact on their marriage and they now have four children together, one maybe even following in his dad's footsteps. We also see them fairly regularly in the media for their roles in business ventures and other activities.
