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

Look at the rest of his instagram and the way he writes is a totally different style. He uses different vocabulary and it just doesn’t match what was written in that post. I’m not saying that someone took over his instagram and physically typed it for him but he definitely had some help, he talks about his parents and their team so why wouldn’t he have his own team with all the money his in-laws have?

Gordon Ramsay made his children stand on their own two feet though. He was very vocal at one point that though they grew up with privileges cos of his hard work and wealth, they wouldn't be living off him forever. One famous example being him flying first class and leaving them in coach. He said he worked his arse off for years before he could afford first class. Some people applauded him and some ripped him apart.
I had a friend who worked for him and said he seems a really decent down to earth guy, despite his on screen persona.

Brooklyn didn’t know him when he was building his fortune and probably has no idea how tough his FIL is (his daughter is unlikely to either).

Do we want to dwell a moment on how tough DB is? A very competitive man - with enough stories rumbling around over the years about how controlling he is, how dogged, and so on.

He is like the royal men - hiding behind wifey.

In this case she gladly walks out front. In her silk nighty. That she wears to weddings...

I wouldn't come out and say so. This statement is a threat - leave me alone or else. More info is the "or else".

'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.'

Despite this you felt the need to make yet another thread about this bunch of fucking dullards. Who for some bizarre reason are incredibly rich. And now venerated. By Parliament no less.

Humanity is lost.

I don’t think he’s hinting that David and Victoria are not a proper couple. He’s saying they’re putting on a fake face for social media and that their supposed friendships with others are often inauthentic. Which I would have thought was already pretty obvious to many of us. If he thinks his parents’ marriage is a total sham then why wouldn’t he just say so?

People are both acknowledging that there is a lot of misinformation being spread. No one knows these people or what happened.

Anyone speaking confidently about what they know don’t have any insider knowledge other than a lot of gossip. Most of which is being spread by people who have no idea themselves. The tabloids don’t have any insider knowledge they are feeding off hangers on who are making stuff up.

Who knows what the real truth is, but what the reactions show, is that kids born into wealth will always be called "spoilt lil rich kids" if they dare complain about anything! (or something else along those lines). As if they aren't allowed any other problems. Yeah, maybe if your family are quietly rich it would be pretty great, but growing up in the public eye type rich, no thanks. I can't think of anything worse than having the live like that always on show and having to be "on brand". I thought the same about Harry though, I know many Brits LOVE our royals, but can't see how anyone with an ounce of comprehension about what being in the Royal Family would be like in reality, could be jealous. Wealth buys a lot of comfort and positives, but it doesn't wipe out growing up with image obsessed parents!!

It sounds like the culture of the family is that everything is about the brand -there is no family without brand.

I take that to include any jobs/careers/ relationships/ future or even hopes that any one of the teens have needs to fit with the brand. And all of it has to be public - otherwise there is no brand.

He describes a rather intolerant home life.

And it seems to be, that he has stepped out of the painting, and is now looking at it for perhaps the first time.

He says he has been trying to resolve things in private, but his family will not leave his partner alone - planting stories about her etc.

He would recognize their handiwork, having grown up with it.

All of that stands only if he is telling the truth...

He comes across as sad, but also with some courage.

Have you really thought about this that much? I don’t know the ins and outs of my best friend’s marriage and foibles in their relationship - let alone a couple I’ve never met. You need to get out more.

The wedding/selling photos to press was hugely grown breaking of its time. I can remember my dad who had zero interest in celebrity gossip looking at my copy of ok magazine, even blokes in pubs were joking about thrones.
The family were then photographed to an extent other celebrities hadn’t done before. They have been a brand for nearly 30 years.

No, that’s not the main point.
The main point was their control.
V and D’s relationship or lack off is YOUR main point of interest.

Couples pretending to be together are fine a dozen, especially rich ones with loads invested.
Much more interesting to understand the dynamics of non contact children especially ones that appeared to be in strong family units.

😂 You’re right.

Brooklyn didn’t know him when he was building his fortune and probably has no idea how tough his FIL is (his daughter is unlikely to either).

I think Brooklyn has escaped from the frying pan into a VERY big fire. I’m no fan of his but I hope it works out for him.

I don't have any opinions on the bekhams, have never read about them or watched documentaries etc. I'm not sure if what he is saying is true. But if it is true, I think people are being really harsh when they say

• (sarcastic) "poor BB with his millions". Like being rich somehow negates having shitty parents who fucked you up. There is a lot of support on here for the stately homes thread, Disney dad threads etc that suggest that throwing money and status related things at kids doesn't make up for lack of emotional care. He is perfectly entitled to be upset at his upbringing even if it was privileged on paper, if what he is saying is true
• he should have left / dospwned them at 16 if he was that bothered. What 16 year old especially in that environment is going to have the ability to recognise how damaging their upbringing was and leave home, change their name, get a job etc
• he could have just stayed silent and faded into the background. There are stories every single day in the press about how horrible he is to have cut off his family, ignored his dad's birthday etc etc. Everything he I don't think anyone would like everything they do responded to with a 'call your mother / you only get one family' comment.

There are a lot of posts basically seeming to accept that its true but somehow also blaming him for it. Which doesn't seem very fair.

I Haven't followed it but bb fell out with his mother because they don't like his bride.
Didn't Harry fall out with his family because they didn't like his bride too.
Give them 10 years and it will blow over.

@TellyOrNapOMG yes!!!

@Lollylavenderthe Netflix docs made them very popular - they painted them in a very down to Earth, good humoured light. Also DB queuing to see the queen, there’s loads of stuff.

The title of the thread is enough f a hint for you to avoid reading it.

I was born in the early 90's and they're just posh and becks to a generation. A spice girl and a no.1 footballer. My sister quite a bit younger than me doesn't really care.
Anyone remember when David broke his foot and it was front page news and yuri geller made everyone touch the telly at once to pray for it? Good times.

Well, if that’s what he’s getting at then good luck to him trying to keep the press out of his business as he goes through life

I think the Beckham's move in circles to this similar to themselves.
I think intellectually nelson is in a different league and far tougher and more shrewd

The Beckham's probably found it hard because it was their first child and the first one to get married

Does anyone ‘like’ them? What’s likeable about a nouveau riche footballer and a ex pop band singer? Genuinely?

*DUCKING care. 🤣😂🤣

I agree! It’s all about preserving the ‘brand’
