To be baffled at dislike for Victoria Beckham

I think the same that maybe their parents (and the media) are expecting celeb kids, especially if they've been in the public eye, to be someone or be amazing at something.....and by the laws of averages most will be....well average! (And to be v honest VB would be considered average at a lot of things)
Buy then the kids haven't necessarily chosen to have their lives on show, but are open to criticism either way. If Brooklyn went and got a job in pret I'm sure the tabloids etc would ridicule him as well!

I think the press initially disliked her because she insisted she hadnt had a boob job, and then she said the Rebecca Loos affair wasn't true. She wasnt a Katie Price who would tell them everything and they hated that. She was blamed for the affair, by people who said she deserved it because she wasn't at his side, like a good wife should be, remember.
I have always liked her though, she has raised a great family who seem to love their parents very much, and she is a hard working person, who doesn't take herself too seriously.

He did it, whether you saw it or not. And he doesn't have to live his life in the public eye, he's the one trying to be famous, using his nepo baby credentials to try and fake his way into a industry he isn't at all qualified for.

I went through them all in my head and dismissed her. I find her hard to take these days. The affected accent, the dressing all in white, the husband she met in less than ideal circumstances. She may well be delighted with her lot in life, but I find her kind of insufferable.

No I don't agree. There are so many successful famous people who dont get hated. I don't think jealousy comes into it. If you're in the public eye a lot then it's very easy for people to get irritated by them. Some people are likeable some aren't, that's it.

The Beckham children seem like nice enough people. The hazard is when celebs are so enamoured with their own celebrity they assume their offspring will also be gorgeous, charismatic and talented. But it doesn't always work out like that. So if your children are nice looking but in an ordinary kind of way, not particularly academic, not particularly talented in any obvious sphere, they're kind of left open to looking a bit of a laughing stock. Because they're already famous but they're struggling to find their niche.

Why is the default jealousy?! You can dislike someone without being jealous.

I'm indifferent. Reasons against would be how affected she appears by fame. For all his faults (knighthood gate, charging the charity for flights, shagging around) he still appears genuine, well as genuine as can be.

In the doc she seemed robotic, her voice was put on, affected. She's clearly got an eating disorder. For all the downsides of fame and kidnap threats, that didn't stop them from bulldozing us with Brand Beckham.

Still, they've remained married and they're the ones laughing all the way to the bank, apart from her business.

To BigShort I haven't seen him do any of that stuff as only come on here or read news online, not on social media otherwise. But do not think there is any reason for him to be bullied as he has anxiety and does not seem like a bad lad at all. Were we all not a bit silly and stupid back when we were younger but thank god we did not have to live our lives in the public eye. But you are entitled to your opinion.
To the person saying that Geri Halliwell has it all, god she is the most annoying with her fake posh accent now and she also broke up a marriage to get her man. No one knows what goes on in anyone's life but even with all their houses, money I would not want my life in the public eye or my son's. Would not mind the Beckham's outdoor kitchen though as it looked fab.

Why do some people always assume jealousy if someone voices their dislike of someone. There can be loads of reasons but jealousy is probably not the one.

There's loads of celebs I don't like but jealousy has nothing to do with it.

We dont have to like everyone.

Geri Halliwell has it the best in my opinion. Married well. 3 beautiful children (SD included) Eldest daughter is actually very smart and based. She's not doing crazy things for attention, passed GCSE's with full compendium of A*s.

In addition to writing books for teens, Geri is wealthy and still famous, but not so famous that every iota of her life is under scrutiny.

She's got the balance right. And all her work is her own.

I never really gave posh or becks much thought, very aware the public are predictably manipulated by harsh media.

Part way through the Netflix series Beckham (despite a firm disinterest in football & the spice girls band) and I must declare I really REALLY like Posh. She’s humorous, warm, supportive, thoughtful, knows her own mind and is certainly family centred. All round interesting person.

She seems inoffensive, hard working and conscientious. She hardly comes across as the most intelligent person in the world but she's entertaining, funny and clearly has a great deal of business savvy. She's turned her hand very successfully to several separate ventures and has made the very best of the cards and opportunities she's been given.

It's creating a 'brand' out of her family that doesn't seem to have been well received: far too 'reality tv' style which rarely goes down well with the public (who at the same time voraciously eat it up). Also, dare I say it, in British terms the Beckhams are much too working class. 'We', collectively, have a curious hang up about class.

The Beckhams are self-made, unlike certain 'old money' families constantly in the pages of Tattler who despise rather than court any form of media. But at least one prominent family is, nonetheless, a brand, and sells itself out constantly to the devil of public goodwill.

I'd personally rather one Victoria and David Beckham than three Kate
Middletons or William Windsors.

I have no issue with her, saw her on Parkinson once with David years ago and they were both lovely.
Think it’s probably jealousy

She's far wealthier and more famous than the other Spice Girls but I wonder if any of them are envious or would swap lives with her. I always think Emma Bunton and Mel C have it the best, millions in the bank but no longer A list tabloid stars, so can live a normal life without too much paparazzi nonsense.

The children of mega celebs are rarely well adjusted. They feel humongous pressure to continue in the lifestyle their parents provided for them. Inherited riches and exposure to paparazzi and a feeling of being important for no particular reason, make it difficult not to want to 'perform' when growing up. Do any celebrity kids do bog standard careers?

I think their eldest son is quite sweet compared to some celebrity off-spring. Yes the obvious nepotism is annoying, but such is the unfairness of the world.

Nothing wrong with wanting or having a Knighthood but he is so desperate for it and then those emails came out about a charity and he was horrible in those emails saying stuff about the charity and it really showed he is not who he says he is. It is all about him and brand Beckham.

Its the sort of thing that if you're looking for it, you don't deserve it. Not quite U, to actively pursue it.

Haven't watched the documentary but am aware it is part of their PR machine.
She seems brighter and more astute than him. Feel sorry for her with Rebecca Loos and all the other alleged infidelities. No wonder she had a sour face she had to deal with all that ( & still the comments that she is punching)...
Think she is maybe bankrolled by him for her fashion business/ passion project as acknowledgement of this.
Think part of the turn off is the media portrayal as being something that perhaps they are not...

He just wants to be knighted and called a Sir

People often bring this up in a negative way. But what’s actually wrong with wanting a knighthood?

AhNowTed TOTALLY agree it was very distressing to see Brooklyn as a child in the car so distressed and that is what I was shocked at. I really admire parents who keep their children out of the limelight.

Probably done it so David wants his knighthood.

They would have been paid so much for it. We enjoyed the football side of his career in doc but he skipped over the affair bit and did not seem to take ownership of it and was all about how hard it was for him and not about Victoria at all. Never found him remotely attractive looks wise but he had a very fit body and he made so much money as a model in Asia as they bloodywell loved him.

If you want to watch a real doc the Ricky Hatton one is amazing as he is just so honest and shows everything and talks about all the bad stuff he did and did not gloss over it. He also changed his life around and made me like him more for being so honest. With David we did not see that and I felt sorry for Victoria as how could you ever truly be happy after being cheated on so publicly. She changed after that but everyone says she is lovely and very witty.

Any wonder he has anxiety when his parents have pushed him and his siblings into the limelight their whole lives, and sold their chlldhoods and privacy for brand Beckham.

He is a wanker. Pretending to be a chef and sending out stupid videos trying and failing to cook a steak, or using dolmio to make his pasta (while prancing about with a dog in a baby carrier, and appearing on US morning shows as celeb chef, putting together pre cooked shit in a sandwich! Nepo baby nonsense.

Not to mention his epically bad taste 4 to 15 million dollar wedding (amounts vary by source).

She’s not the best singer or dancer, yet she’s taken what she has and made herself, and her husband, into a worldwide brand. That isn’t an easy accomplishment at all, and regardless of whether you personally consider that to be laudable or not, it takes skill.
