The legendary soccer star has alleged that he was misled into getting involved with Wahlberg and his investment group. After Beckham moved to Los Angeles, he and Wahlberg became fast friends, and Beckham agreed to be the global ambassador of F45 Training. Beckham is suing for $10 Million in losses.
