You could be right yes. Anyway, once good old Max Clifford was on the case the Beckham's stood no chance. Clifford claimed that he offered to sweep the story under the carpet if they paid Loos (and him) off (as was his modus operandi) but they refused so he went to town on them.
He (or rather "they") did deny the claims and threaten to sue. Then Loos said that she could prove it by intimate knowledge of some part of his anatomy and it all went quiet on the litigation front. I can't imagine why.
