To be baffled at dislike for Victoria Beckham

oh come on, if your child wanted to do say be a photographer, wouldnt you encourage or help them as much as you could, then if they changed their mind you again would support and encourage them, thats all they are doing except their kids are in the public eye.

with the amount of papazzari looking at them i can see why they made the choice for their kids to be seen, otherwise the paps would likely be worse to get photos, its only been recently that the paps have backed away from celebs kids

I think it's because she was called posh but isn't classically posh.

And the girl power thing was all fake. Aside from that I don't get it either

Surely not liking someone doesn't equal trolling?

oh like troll.

an under the bridge dweller, presumably.

What's a trolly person?

Trolly people cant stand others succeess or happiness. Haters gotta hate !

She seems perfectly nice to me

@Castlerock44

Because it's jealousy.

People who gripe about VB’s fashion brand making a loss understand little or nothing about how fashion actually works as a large scale business. Clothing makes very little money. What it does do is act as a promotional tool for higher profit items being licensed out to manufacturers, e.g. make up, perfume, sunglasses, and for in house higher profit items like accessories and leather goods.

VB has followed the classic strategy of clothes, then leather goods and glasses, then make up then fragrance. Money has been pumped into a loss making business with a long term of goal.

It might surprise people to learn that a brand as prestigious as Alexander McQueen makes almost no money at all, and what it does make is largely down to scarves, shoes and belts.

And in any case, it was reported on Radio 4 this week that VB’s fashion business is now turning a small profit. No surprise that’s happening as the brand flows into the make up, fragrance, accessories phase.

She is not famous because of her husband but the extent of her fame and the longevity of it are because of her marriage and the brand that’s been built around it. What the haters don’t see is that SHE built that brand. She’s a clever cookie.

Got to agree, I know she can appear quite snobbish etc but it's not like she's in the press every other week expressing her opinions or saying anything outlandish. She's actually kept herself to herself surprisingly well for a celebrity so she hasn't really given anyone reason to dislike her so much . Haters gonna hate though

I've always like her, I ready her book years ago and she came across well. I don't think she takes herself that seriously, she funny when interviewed and I have never actually heard anything much bad said about her from people who actually know her.

Julie Birchill wrote a column about negative attitudes to Victoria. She put it down to jealousy and resentment that she isn't a WAG. She has a business which is successful, there are no trashy kiss and tells about her, no scandals. She comes from a very ordinary background and is family oriented and she has David of course. I think she has made a go of her life and has shaped her own success. She's a role model for young women and girls.

I am not sure why Geri wears white. Probably so that she can be easily spotted ‘minding her own business’ at a F1 race.

I don’t get it either - I think she looks like she’d be great fun!

I like her! She's funny.

I think she amazing 😘

So WHY does she always wear white then? Druid training or something?

I agree that Geri Halliwell is really annoying, (although I did not know she broke up a marriage, yuck.)

But none of that has any bearing (well the latter obviously does, but we cannot see to what extent) on her success in terms of her fame, work, marriage, family, life balance. I think specifically on balance, she's better off than the Beckhams. Annoying personality and odd white clothing aside.

@BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants no idea, read it once on MNs, was a bit sceptical but it's fucking true. Whenever I see her now, always in white!

I think she's brilliant. I've always liked and admired them both. They've both worked very hard for their money and success, from a young age Victoria had dance classes and David practiced his football, to the extent, they didn't have many friends or a social life growing up. When David was at school he wasn't the best footballer in the team. He was a better runner and a teacher told him to give up football and concentrate on running, but he said he liked football better and concentrated on that and practised and practised and the rest is history!

Panelbottle ha why does she only wear white?

I used to quite like her until the Spice Girls reunion performance at the Olympics opening ceremony in 2012. The other 4 were putting their heart and sole into the performance whereas she just mimed along half-heartedly with a face like a smacked arse which basically told anyone watching that she was too good for the Spice Girls these days because she'd bagged a footballer and had a hobby as a dress designer.

Saying that, I don't dislike her as much as I dislike Mel B. Awful woman.

What misogynistic crap this is.

You need a Time Machine to take you back to the 1940s if you really believe a woman is at fault if her partner cheats and for whatever happens in his career.

panelbottle 😂

To the person saying that Geri Halliwell has it all,
except colour in her wardrobe!
