00:00 series drops on Netflix. Rebecca, David's former assistant, who in 2004 alleged she
00:08 was also the former pro athlete's mistress, is responding to a flood of
00:14 comments following the release of David and Victoria Beckham's docuseries
00:19 Beckham, which dropped on October 4. The former model took to Instagram on
00:25 October 1st, writing "Hello October." Just days later, following the new documentary,
00:31 Rebecca acknowledges she's been flooded with nasty messages. In response to an
00:37 IG user who commented "some of the comments on here are disgusting," Rebecca
00:43 agrees, writing "thank you. Am taking in the nasty comments with as much humor as
00:49 I can." In the series, the couple reflects on the period of time when the soccer
00:55 star transferred teams from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2003. The
01:01 following year, Rebecca gave a TV interview claiming she and Beckham had
01:07 an affair. At the time, the soccer pro denied the claims in a statement, sharing
01:13 "During the past few months, I have become accustomed to reading more and more
01:18 ludicrous stories about my private life," adding "The simple truth is that I am
01:23 very happily married and have a wonderful wife and two very special kids.
01:28 There is nothing any third party can do to change this." Victoria Beckham broke her
01:34 silence on the cheating allegations in the new doc, explaining that the tabloid
01:40 rumors took a toll on the couple. "It was the hardest period for us because it felt
01:46 like the world was against us and here's the thing we were against each other if
01:51 I'm being completely honest. You know, up until Madrid, sometimes it felt like us
01:59 against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each
02:04 other. But when we're in Spain, it didn't really feel like we had each other either."
02:09 David also weighed in about the media circus. "There was some horrible stories
02:20 that were difficult to deal with. It was the first time that me and Victoria had
02:30 been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage." The former Spice Girl and
02:37 the athlete became an international "it" couple when they wed in 1999. The couple
02:44 is still going strong after 24 years of marriage and ahead of the new docu-series
02:50 release, Victoria wrote on Instagram October 3rd, "I couldn't be more proud of
02:55 you and us. I love you so much David Beckham. I can't wait for you all to see
03:02 Beckham."
