David Beckham was suspected of having late night hotel trysts with multiple women behind-the-back of his Posh Spice wife Victoria, according to court papers filed by a magazine publisher being sued by the soccer superstar in a massive $25 million libel writ.
In Touch Weekly and Bauer, one of the world's largest publishers, used the privilege of court papers to make the seedy allegations against dad-of-three Beckham, claiming in the papers they suspected he carried on an affair with a Los Angeles-based lingerie saleswoman and would secretly meet her at the Figueroa Hotel near Staples Center after LA Lakers basketball games.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the explosive documents lodged in a Californian court last week, in which it's alleged.
A source told In Touch how the lingerie store worker showed friends text messages she received from Beckham and that In Touch "continued to believe that Beckham did have a relationship with this lingerie saleswoman" even though he and the woman had denied it.
At least three sets of independent sources -- including "an acquaintance of Beckham" -- detailed his strange behavior at two different hotels, at which he "appeared to be spending time with women who were not his wife".
Beckham's nanny saw "suggestive text messages" implying that he had an affair with Shery Shabani, the Beverly Hills mother whose children go to the same posh private school as Beckham's three boys.
A source close to Beckham — who nows plays for the LA Galaxy — last night told RadarOnline.com he was not concerned about the cheating slurs.
"This is a smokescreen and it is not going to hold up in court," the close pal said.
"He is not backing down, he plans to go full throttle in this matter and this posturing, with no evidence and no facts, isn't going to stall the inevitable."
However, the move is a dramatic escalation in the battle against In Touch, its editor Michelle Lee and the mag's publishers Bauer -- owed by billionaire German businessman Heinz Bauerwhich -- which printed sensational claims that he romped with a Bosnian hooker.
Beckham, 35, is also suing the former prostitute Imra Nici, 26, who peddled the story that she slept with him for $10,000 cash in London and New York in 2007.
The new allegations are bound to reverberate through England's campaign to win the 2018 World Cup, with the former national captain set to represent his homeland in Switzerland this week, alongside a high-powered delegation including Prince William and British prime minister David Cameron.
The trio are hoping to woo football chiefs to back Britain ahead of the vote on December 2.
In court papers, In Touch's executive editor Deborah Baer said the mag received information concerning stories detailing how Beckham engaged in "extramarital affairs" before it published Nici's pack of claims.
"He ignores the years of press – unchallenged by any legal claims – documenting his prior affairs, including another one with a 'high class prostitute'."
