To think people are missing the main point that Brooklyn Beckham is trying to reveal ?

Firstly I know the goings on of this family are not important news and there are more important things to worry about in the world .
But I’m finding it surprising that people are fixating on things like the wedding dress and the dancing . There are a couple of points in his statements when he is clearly saying what I have always believed- that David and Victoria are not a couple as they like to portray . I’ve always thought David’s disdain of her is quite obvious in the way he talks to her and that she appears lost and soulless but intent on preserving the brand .
BB says “ 'The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
Then - “ media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.'”

To me it seems obvious what he is hinting at ?

Duck me not another one.

I dont ducking care.

Yet here you are.

I agree OP, having read the House of Beckham, much of what Brooklyn is saying fits in with Tom Bowers observation. Brand Beckham is ever his parents and no amount of money will ever be enough to.

I think the most glaringly obvious thing from his post is he didn’t write it. I suppose when you marry into a family with money you can afford the best PR.

I don't understand why they want more and more. They have all the fame and money they could ever want. Why don't they retire from public view, either together or apart? I just don't understand why nothing is ever enough.

I thought the same OP. ‘Inauthentic relationships’ is the most telling line IMHO.

I’m not sure what point you are trying to make

Er the point that I made in the opening post ? That the subtext of his statement is that they are not a couple !!

OP, this isn't a hard-hitting bit of journalism revealing some important truth about a major international situation that we should all pore over.

This is a nepo baby complaining about his diamond shoes being too tight.

Anyone who glances at it is just looking for details that amuse them.

It’s really easy to not comment on threads you don’t care about. I manage it every single day!
I agree OP. There’s definitely an underlying (but very clear!) message there.

If you don’t care then why bother to comment ?!

i think lots of people believe they are a devoted couple ! Especially after recent documentaries selling this .
and yes I agree lots of people are disinterested - as I said it’s not that important just interesting that I think the main point has been missed .

I dont think that new news though is it? I don't think anyone believes they're a normal couple with a normal relationship. They are a staggeringly successful brand, but I don't most people would recognise how they live as a marriage or a family.

Or…. Just utterly disinterested
