Actor Mark Wahlberg is being sued by former football player David Beckham for allegedly losing out on millions of dollars in profit from a fitness pact.
According to Beckham’s company, DB Ventures Ltd., the fitness brand F45 tricked them into partnering with him when he was appointed as their global ambassador.
The Sun claims that because Wahlberg and Beckham lived in the same neighborhood in Los Angeles when the former football player moved from Real Madrid to LA Galaxy in 2007, they became pals.
In 2019, Wahlberg acquired a minority stake in F45, and the following year, Beckham committed to collaborating with the business.
As an ambassador for F45, he appeared in several since-deleted social media posts promoting the company.
But according to Beckham’s company, he was given company shares, which were supposed to be delivered in early 2022. But, there was a delay of several months, during which the value of the shares fell dramatically.
