Beckhams sue former nanny over comments David and Victoria Beckham are suing their former nanny for claiming in the British press that the couple's six-year marriage is on the rocks.
Justice David Eady said Gibson should not be barred from repeating information already in the public domain following Sunday's story. "Unfortunately, publication of the material has taken place on such a wide scale that it would be futile to try and prevent publication of these matters," he said. Beckham, captain of the England soccer team, plays for Real Madrid. His wife is a former pop star and member of the Spice Girls. The Beckhams had sought a court order preventing the News of the World from publishing Gibson's allegations. Gibson, who worked for the Beckhams from May 2003 until her resignation in March, had signed a confidentiality agreement as required by the Beckhams, the couple's lawyer, Hugh Tomlinson, said. The Beckhams also are suing the News of the World over Sunday's story.

The former nanny, Abbie Gibson, was paid $225,000 by the News of the
World tabloid for her story about the soccer star and his wife. On Friday,
Gibson promised Britain's High Court that she wouldn't say anything further
about the couple's marriage or spend the money until the lawsuit is decided.
