Abbie Gibson was until recently employed by David and Victoria Beckham as a nanny. She had a written employment contract and had also entered into confidentiality agreements not to disclose confidential information relating to the Beckhams.
Ms Gibson disclosed information to the News of the World newspaper, which intended to publish the story on Sunday 24 April, 2005. Her account included contested allegations about the true state of the Beck-hams’ marriage and Mr Beckham’s fidelity, which allegedly contrasted with the image presented publicly by the couple.
