The Beckham's have received an official apology from their former nanny after she revealed confidential information about them in a tabloid.
Former nanny Abbie Gibson gave the
News of the World an in depth interview about
David Beckham and
Victoria Beckham (titled "Beckhams Behind Closed Doors"), revealing intimate details about their relationship, which clearly pissed off the Beckhams.
Not only did the interview piss off the Beckham's, it violated the confidentially agreement she signed before she started work with the family.
But on Tuesday, the Beckhams' lawyer Gerrard Tyrrell told the High Court that Gibson has agreed to "permanent undertakings of confidentiality."
She had "unconditionally apologized to David and Victoria Beckham and their family for breaching her duties of confidence" and had also withdrawn a claim for constructive dismissal, he said.
The nanny also claimed that the Beckham's made hate calls to her and
People magazine ran an article titled "Beckham's Hate Calls To Nanny," which falsely stated that David had made threatening calls to Gibson.
He said: "The People have already publicly apologized for making this false and defamatory claim and have paid damages to David Beckham.
"Ms Gibson is happy to confirm that David Beckham did not at any stage make any such telephone calls to her. She apologizes if anything she said to The People gave them a false impression that such calls had been made."
Oh to be a fly on the wall of the Beckham household. One wonders what really goes down with celebrity couples behind close doors. Do you think they're as "normal" as they claim to be? Whose you're favorite celebrity couple?
