David Beckham is known, at least in part, for having a huge package. We’ve seen it quite clearly in the Armani underwear ads and we’re all under the impression that we know what he’s working with, but that’s just not good enough for some folks I suppose.
Elena Di Cioccio of Italian TV show Le lene (That’s Italian for “The Hyenas”) caused a commotion yesterday when a poorly-planned bit got out of control. David was exiting a restaurant to the usual slew of paparazzi, and Elena was amongst them, sneaking about with a yellow glove on her hand. Earlier she had told her cameras “We have seen fascinating photographs of David Beckham in his underpants. He’s seemingly very well endowed and even his wife says that he is well equipped…we wanted to find out if he was as well endowed as the pictures suggest or if they were touched up.”
After making a lame grab at his crotch and failing, Beckham spotted Elena and gave her a mean look before being guided away from the crowd by his bodyguards. Elena kept up her bit by screaming “David you’ve conned us all!” as he walked away, but it was pretty obvious she didn’t get to actually touch anything.
Now, here’s my question: What would make someone so desperate that they’d take money in exchange for humiliating another person and themselves like this? I know they’re a lot more “cheeky” over in Europe than we are here, but there’s a massive difference between being sexy and coy and grabbing someone’s dick. This chick grabbing David Beckham’s penis is like is some reporter tried to grab Barbara Walters’ vagina. It just is. You absolutely cannot invade someone’s space that way, but especially in a sexually aggressive manner. If she asked to fact-check his junk and he said yes, well then I’d say that Elena is a pretty lucky lady and excellent at her job, but trying to help yourself to a feel is unacceptable. What is this? Middle school?
no, totally a European humor thing.
Rrrrrreally? What’s so cheeky about us Europeans?? I’m Dutch and love EvilBeet Gossip, but seriously… We’re not that different :P
Actually, you’re different in the right ways. Your television is much less censored than ours and sexual humor is often used in advertising that would never ever fly over here. It’s our prude faults, don’t take that the wrong way.
Yeah Molls is right! We’re cheekier and it’s fun! :)
If that were a man trying to grab a womans boobs, he would be done for sexual harassment.
right on the money.
Nah, boob grabbing is grossly underreported and David looks like he is all ball in those Armani ads.
Unless you’re Isaac Mizrahi and you grab Scarlett Johansson’s boob on the red carpet, or you’re Diana Ross and you are presenting an award with Lil’ Kim. You can’t really draw lines, right?
Absolutely unacceptable, Europe or not.
Yes, very disconcerting. I do not approve. And besides, he could just be having some fleeting shrinkage.
Seriously. My god. That’s attempted sexual harassment. Just because someone is famous and in underwear ads and just because it is someone else’s job to report on celebrities, that does not mean the reporter can just try to cop a feel. If she did that would totally be sexual harassment.
ok, let me explain this, “Le iene” is the title of “Reservoir Dogs” in italy, and is a half comedy half journalism tv show, actually one of the smartest we have in italy.
I know this doesn’t look that funny if you’re not into Italian comedy, but this is just one of a long list of things they did, like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z1KH9be3XA in venice when a guy got naked and asked george clooney to choose him instead od Elisabetta,
or when a lot of years ago Fabio Volo shaved his head in front of Skunk Anansie’s singer because he loved her.
They do it for the loal.
There is a big difference between the two bits that you mentioned and the one with Beckham and that is the touching. By grabbing Beckham’s junk this chick crossed a line.
I never understood some people’s obsession with Beck’s penis size.It’s as if, because he’s white it can’t be possible.I don’t hear them questioning reports about Tiger Woods ,they just accept it because he’s black..And by the way i’m a black woman .
Color nor humour have nothing to do with this. It is an invasion of his privacy. Nothing more. He doesn’t deserve to be treated that way, because of an underwear ad. He is a person just like anyone else. I
Absolutely unacceptable. Period! It’s incredible to me how some people just think they can do whatever they want and get away with it. It’s irresponsible for someone to do something like this, at least in here, you can go to jail for that shit. I feel bad for Beckham, because i can just imagine how bad he must have felt, humiliated and embarrased infront of so many people, paparazzi, and God knows who else was there looking..
Knowing Victoria, she’s probably suing right away, and i sure hope this idiot that thinks she can assault people that way, goes to jail, because that’s exactly what would happen if things were the other way around, and some women think they can get away with this shit? i totally disagree.
More ‘cheeky’? What is this about Europeans being cheekier? Why does this have any relevance?
I don’t think his package looks impressive. I agree with the above commentor – looks like all balls. Soccer players, go figure.
She is a fucking idiot, period. It’s incredible how this could happen. If it was a male reporter doing that to an actress or a famous singer, he would be in jail the next day..that was just gross…. I hope she gets punish for that. BTW it was NOT FUNNY.
