David Beckham filed a lawsuit against F45 Training, which actor Mark Wahlberg is a part owner of, alleging the company failed to pay him as the brand’s global ambassador. Beckham's company DB Ventures filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Central California in April 2023.
Beckham's attorneys said the shares were worth about $9.3 million less than they were in January 2022. Beckham is suing for $9.3 million, plus an additional $5 million, according to the complaint. Beckham is also seeking $4.5 million for payments he alleges he was to receive for the remainder of his term with F45. Attorneys for the company said it had provided the shares to Beckham and denied all the allegations listed in the lawsuit, according to an answer to the amended complaint.
