Why David Beckham is suing Mark Wahlberg for $16m

<p>David Beckham has launched legal action against Mark Wahlberg, after a joint business venture into the world of fitness failed. </p> <p>The English soccer legend is suing the Hollywood actor for a whopping £8.5 million (A$16.4 million), claiming he was "duped" by Wahlberg when he started a partnership with the global F45 Training gym. </p> <p>Beckham agreed to be the firm’s global ambassador when he moved to LA as he became friends with Wahlberg, who owns a huge stake of the gym network. </p> <p>The 48-year-old sporting hero is also suing the actor’s firm, Mark Wahlberg Investment Group (MWIG), and gym group F45’s founders Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch for "fraudulent conduct".</p> <p>Beckham is claiming he lost more than $16 million when stocks he was promised were withheld until after share prices plummeted.</p> <p>In August 2023, F45 Training Holdings announced they had delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after its share price fell by 75 per cent.</p> <p>Wahlberg and the other defendants said the allegations are baseless and are asking the judge to dismiss the lawsuit. </p> <p>The defendants’ motion to dismiss goes further to say David Beckham Ventures Ltd (DBVL) are blaming everyone but themselves for the loss of money, adding: “The 209-page, 610-paragraph SAC [complaint] tries to make up with length what it lacks in merit."</p> <p><em>Image credits: Getty Images </em></p>

Rebecca Loos claims Beckham is "playing the victim" over affair scandal

<p>Rebecca Loos, the woman at the centre of the alleged <a href="https://www.oversixty.co.nz/finance/legal/woman-at-the-centre-of-alleged-beckham-affair-breaks-silence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affair scandal</a> with iconic football legend David Beckham, has recently shared her thoughts on the new <em>Beckham</em> docuseries, which was released on Netflix.</p> <p>Loos, now 47 and residing in Norway with her husband and two children, expressed her concerns regarding the way the affair was handled in the docuseries, which was produced in collaboration with Beckham's production company.</p> <p>In the early 2000s, Loos gained notoriety for her claims of a romantic involvement with David Beckham during his time as a football superstar. In the docuseries, the Beckhams primarily discussed the media frenzy that ensued following Loos' revelations in 2003, but skirted around the specifics of the affair itself.</p> <p>It was during that tumultuous period that Loos had declared her connection with the football player while working as his personal assistant, even suggesting that the Beckhams had been dealing with marital issues before her involvement came to light. At the time, the celebrity couple vehemently denied any wrongdoing and even considered legal action against Loos.</p> <p>Victoria Beckham, 49, revealed in the docuseries, "It was the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life," while David Beckham, 48, tearfully stated, "Victoria is everything to me. To see her hurt was incredibly difficult… what we had was worth fighting for."</p> <p>Loos, however, took issue with David's statement. In a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12657157/rebecca-loos-affair-david-beckham-netflix.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">candid interview with the Daily Mail</a>, she expressed her frustration: "The [worst] 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 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."</p> <p>Loos also argued that the docuseries had thrust the affair back into the spotlight, an issue that many had forgotten about since the news first broke 20 years ago, thereby further impacting her reputation. She emphasised, "Yes, the stories were horrible, but they're true. He talks in the documentary about this ultimately being his private life, shutting it down. I think it's one thing to keep your private life to yourself. It's another thing to mislead the public."</p> <p>She suggested that David could have chosen to acknowledge that it was not one of his proudest moments or characterised it as a challenging period and moved on from the subject. However, she felt that he continued to phrase his statements in a way that indirectly shifted the blame onto her.</p> <p>"If you don't want to take responsibility for things because of your family and your children, that's absolutely fine," Loos commented, "But he specifically made it look like… my fault, that he had nothing to do with this."</p> <p>Loos, after the 2003 allegations, embarked on a path as a media personality, participating in various English and Dutch TV shows. In 2008, while filming the Dutch TV show <em>71 Graden Noord</em>, she crossed paths with her future husband, Norwegian doctor Sven Christjar Skaiaa. After becoming pregnant, the couple decided to relocate to Norway in 2009. Today, she works as a yoga teacher and a massage therapist in Norway while raising her two sons and only occasionally making media appearances.</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

David and Victoria Beckham open up about alleged affair

<p>David and Victoria Beckham have chosen to open up about the "unhappiest" period of their lives, in their highly-anticipated Netflix documentary. </p> <p>The power couple candidly spoke about David's alleged affair in 2003, where he was accused of cheating with his former personal assistant Rebecca Loos after they were spotted leaving a night club in Spain. </p> <p>The rumours spread just after David was transferred from the Manchester United club to Real Madrid . </p> <p>David called the claims “ludicrous” at the time, and now his wife Victoria has also shared her heartache during that time, describing it as the "unhappiest in her life". </p> <p>Ahead of the release of the four-part documentary series, director Fisher Stevens revealed how "unpleasant" it was for him to ask the couple such personal questions. </p> <p>"It wasn't pleasant, but we got into it," he said. </p> <p>"For me, I approached it as, "How did your marriage stay together?" and you'll see how he responds," he added. </p> <p>Producer John Battsek also told <em>The Sunday Times </em>that the couple "signed up” to a nothing off-limits contract, and were happy to discuss tougher subjects. </p> <p>“There was no, “You will not ask that or do that,’" he said</p> <p>"Fisher and I thought that might be the case, but we were clear from the start that we would only do this if we could go in any direction we wanted. And we did," he added. </p> <p>Aside from the alleged affair, the couple also opened up about their first date and are clearly still smitten with each other. </p> <p>“The fact I went to the games really was to - some might say I stalked him, I would say see him," she joked about their first meeting at a charity football match in 1997. </p> <p>She also added that she was immediately attracted to the football star when she spotted him chatting with his parents before the game. </p> <p>“When I saw him in the footballers’ lounge, all the other footballers were at the bar, and he was standing and talking to his parents, and I’m very close to my family, and I loved that side to him.”</p> <p>David's recollection of their first meeting was a bit more simple: “I just fancied her”.</p> <p>The couple have been married since 1999 and have four kids together - sons Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 18, and a daughter Harper, 12.</p> <p><em>Image: Kevin Winter/Getty Images</em></p>

Brooklyn Beckham roasted over bragging about how he makes his money

<p>Brooklyn Beckham has been roasted online after a cringe-worthy video emerged of him bragging how he makes his money. </p> <p>The son of David and Victoria Beckham featured in a now-viral TikTok with the person filming asking about his career, and how he was able to afford the multi-million dollar red McLaren P1 he was driving. </p> <p>He has since come under fire for claiming it is his job as a chef that helped him afford the luxury car, rather than growing up in a very rich and famous family. </p> <p>Daniel Mac, who films himself asking random drivers of pricey vehicles how they pay for them, excitedly grilled Brooklyn, who frequently posts videos of himself cooking various dishes at home.</p> <p>“Hey, man! What do you do for a living? Your car’s awesome!” asked Mac, who wrote atop the clip that the car costs a whopping $US1.2 million ($A1.7 million).</p> <p>“Um, I’m a chef,” the smiling 23-year-old replied after realising he recognised the influencer.</p> <p>“You’re a chef! Really? Are you like the best chef in the world?” Mac asked, prompting Brooklyn to respond, “Tryna be!”</p> <p>When the TikToker inquired about his “chef name,” the husband of heiress Nicola Peltz simply said, “My name’s Brooklyn.”</p> <p>As for what advice he’d give to those trying to venture into the culinary world, he encouraged, “Just follow your passion. Whatever makes you happy, just keep doing it!”</p> <p>As if Mac’s tone weren’t sarcastic enough, the barrage of comments left under his post called out the influence for being completely "tone-deaf".</p> <p>“‘What do you do for a living?’ ‘My parents are rich so I just kinda vibe,’” one person wrote in reference to Brooklyn’s legendary soccer star dad and pop star-turned-fashion designer mum.</p> <p>“‘What do you do for a living?’ ‘I was born,’” someone else similarly joked, as another remarked, “Born into a multi-millionaire family and now married a billionaires’ daughter. But he’s a chef!!”</p> <p>“Not him pretending being a chef got him that car … Brooklyn, please,” someone else quipped, while another pointed out that he’s likely “never worked a shift in a restaurant in his life.”</p> <p>While the post welcomed a lot of comments about nepotism, other defended Brooklyn saying, "He genuinely seems like a nice guy who isn’t harming anyone, and yet people have to comment that he’s only where he is because of dad?”</p> <p><em>Image credits: Instagram / TikTok</em></p>

“I tried to protect her”: Victoria and David Beckham recount terrifying stalking incident

<p dir="ltr">David and Victoria Beckham have opened up about their ordeal with a stalker who has been charged with harassing the former athlete.</p> <p dir="ltr">The Beckhams are being represented by their lawyers in a Westminster Magistrate Court where 58-year-old Sharon Bell is facing stalking charges.</p> <p dir="ltr">Bell believed she was in a relationship with Beckham and, after trying to contact him through a series of letters, claimed he and his wife were conspiring to “steal her eggs from inside her body”, as reported by <em>The Daily Mail</em>.</p> <p dir="ltr">One of the letters Bell sent to the football star read: “I do love you and have done so since we were children.”</p> <p dir="ltr">In a statement read to the court, the father of four said he doesn’t have a relationship with Bell and had never seen her before.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I felt like the language in the letters was escalating and becoming more emotional and threatening towards me and my family and this worried me,” he said in his statement, addressing the impact the letters had on him.</p> <p dir="ltr">The court also heard of a terrifying event involving the couple’s youngest child, 11-year-old Harper.</p> <p dir="ltr">Bell reportedly appeared at Harper’s school in an attempt to abduct her.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I’m Harper’s mother. I’m here to pick her up,” she reportedly told the school.</p> <p dir="ltr">After police were called to the school, Bell was taken away.</p> <p dir="ltr">A statement from Victoria was also read out in court by prosecutor Arizuna Asante, detailing the fashion designer’s concern for her young daughter following the incident.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Due to the volume of attention [my husband and I receive from fans], we are rarely informed of the nature of communications from fans,” her statement read.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I tried to protect her and I am worried about her.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I am very concerned and anxious about Harper going to the park or being taken on school trips.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Prosecutor Asante added: “She is now scared to go out and it has made things harder for her.</p> <p dir="ltr">“She is worried, especially when Harper goes on school trips.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Bell, who is currently detained under the Mental Health Act, was deemed a risk to the couple's children because she was “obsessed with the family” by District Judge Michael Snow.</p> <p dir="ltr">Judge Snow charged Bell with stalking, though she will not face a criminal trial because of her mental health.</p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-67a13fe3-7fff-4486-81a6-ed6c3eb84440"></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: Getty Images</em></p>

Inside the wedding of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz

<p>Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Florida, a little over two years after the world learned of their relationship. </p> <p>Nicola Peltz, daughter of billionaire investor Nelson Peltz and model Claudia Heffner, and Brooklyn Beckham, son of football legend David and pop star-turned-designer Victoria, exchanged their vows on the Peltz family's sprawling Palm Beach estate in a fairytale ceremony. </p> <p>Celebrity guests were also in attendance, with Serena and Venus Williams, Eva Longoria, and two of Victoria’s former bandmates - Spices Sporty and Scary (otherwise known as Mel C and Mel B) - looked on. </p> <p>The bride wore a show-stopping Valentino couture gown with an impressive train and lace veil to match, while her groom wore a custom Dior suit.</p> <p>The newlyweds were conscious of world events as they celebrated their nuptials, as they partnered with the humanitarian agency <a href="https://my.care.org/site/Donation2?df_id=31867&amp;mfc_pref=T&amp;31867.donation=form1&amp;s_src=382251000000&amp;s_subsrc=FY22UkraineCrisisFundBF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Care</a>, and invited guests to make donations in their name to help provide aid for women and girls, families and the elderly in Ukraine. </p> <p>The whole day was captured by celebrity photographer German Larkin for <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/news/article/brooklyn-beckham-nicola-peltz-wedding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British Vogue</a>, with the couple posing with glee in their wedding attire. </p> <p>Brooklyn was also snapped with his father and his brothers and groomsmen Romeo and Cruz, and the Beckham men looked dapper in their Dior best. </p> <p><em>All image credits: Instagram @germanlarkin</em></p>
