The former Spice Girl successfully sued Britain's Star magazine after an article claimed a crew member on her American reality TV show found her "full of herself and not very nice".
The article went on to claim Beckham's show was solely designed to make her popular in the U.S., but "she waltzes round with her icy attitude.
"The crew get a big laugh out of how she seems to think she's 'all that' and then some doorman or waiter has no clue who she is."
Beckham's lawyer, Gerrard Tyrrell, told the High Court filming on the program had not commenced when the allegations were published, which meant they could not have been made.
He further claimed the magazine did not contact Beckham before proceeding with publication. He says, "The story was completely inaccurate and defamatory of Ms. Beckham."
Star magazine's publishers Northern and Shell apologized for the stress and embarrassment caused, retracted the story and agreed to pay damages and legal costs.
