David and Victoria Beckham’s former nanny Abbie Gibson has finally apologized in High Court for breaking her confidentiality agreement and leaking secrets about the couple’s relationship to the press. Abbie’s statements were published in a 2005 News of the World article entitled “Beckhams Behind Closed Doors”.
Abbie also agreed in court to give the couple “permanent undertakings of confidentiality” from this point forward.
The article published in 2005 quoted Abbie spilling about David and Victoria’s crumbling marriage. In it, Abbie said,
I know the truth more than anybody because I have lived under their roof for two years. Unfortunately I was the third person at the heart of their marriage.
They had rows all the time. But a week before Christmas Day at their home in Madrid they hit a new level. I was in my bedroom and woke up to hear them arguing at about 2am on the landing. I heard David call Victoria a f**king b**ch.
The next day after David had left for work and I had dropped Brooklyn at school Victoria and I were in the lounge. I said, ‘Are you all right?’ She started crying and said, ‘I don’t know what to do. He is on about splitting up. I am walking on egg shells. I have to make sure I don’t trigger another argument. I have asked him to stay with me until the baby is born. I think things are slipping away from me.’
After her News of the World article was published, Abbie later told reporters that David had made several “hate calls” threatening her over the phone. Details of those calls were published in a 2005 article for The People newspaper. The newspaper has since paid damages to the Beckham family. Abbie also took those words back in court today, confirming that David had never called her in a threatening manner.
