David Beckham has filed a lawsuit against Mark Wahlberg, alleging $10 million in losses related to a brand deal with F45 Training, a fitness company in which Wahlberg owns 36% of the shares and serves as a director.
According to reports from The Sun, Beckham’s company, DB Ventures, claims that the former soccer player was “duped” by Wahlberg. The controversy revolves around the shares that Beckham was supposed to receive, which were only delivered after a significant drop in their market value.

In addition to Wahlberg, Beckham is also suing the Mark Wahlberg Investment Group and F45 founders Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch, who launched the company in 2012 in Australia.
Beckham, who recently moved to Los Angeles and took on the role of global ambassador for F45, is known for his promotion of the gym chain, which offers “innovative and high-intensity group functional workouts.” This partnership included numerous appearances in social media posts that were removed after the lawsuit began.
