Soccer star David Beckham is now fending off allegations of two cheating scandals, said the New York Daily News. He is suing In Touch magazine for printing claims by Irma Nici, a 26-year-old prostitute, that she slept with the soccer star in 2007, and this week Nici countersued, alleging that his attempts to silence her caused emotional and physical damage. Beckham was also accused of cheating this week by a multimillionaire lawyer who says the star athlete had an affair with his wife. A spokesman for Beckham, who is married to Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, called the claims “total fantasy.”
