What is going on with Brooklyn/Harper Beckham?

I don't think a child should suffer for what their parents may or may not do.
I just think its a shame for Harper to lose contact with her brother because of her parents.

That would be harassment in CA.

The Beckhams need to sue in that case.

Do those laws extend to photos taken in California but published elsewhere in the world? I'm not particularly familiar with the peculiarities of US laws.

I don't think we can know what Harper thinks or feels or would do .

No but it’s the publishing of the photos too - that’s why you see pixelated photos of some a listers kids

in fact wasn’t it this law that attracted the sussexes to California because it ensured they have complete control

I dont think we can know how Harper feels or what her experience is,or wether she would report back to the family ,Regardless Brooklyn is an adult and independent of his family now they have no power over him anymore.

D & V

Diarrhea and vomiting.

Sounds about right, really.

The laws don't prevent them from being followed, and someone under 16 is likely to be with an adult anyway.

I mean they still wanted to hold the copy right to his name as a married man for god sake 🤣 they don’t let go nicely or quietly.

It would be like a police caution.

everything you do say can and will be used against you.

Harper would be used by her parents to get info. Then it would be well if he can talk to harper why not Romeo, why not Cruz when all of them are still fully funded by mum and dad.

Also then if / when Harper earnt enough to be free of them it would be Brooklyn stole our baby girl. Turned our daughter against us.

Ah yeah? And you think VB and DB would turn a blind eye and respect those boundaries?

I would imagine even if they met and didn't discuss the parents that EVERYTHING Brooklyn said and did, right down to his body language would be reported back to them.

There’s nothing that grotesque pair won’t do for their brand. Brooklyn is so right to have nothing to do with them.

It's all very strange isn't it?

If D&V did send Harper-what were they hoping for?

A picture of her all dejected having been turned away?

A happy door step reunion?

If they knew he was away that's odder than ever!

Do they even like him?

It's pretty obvious they DID set it up and gave permission. Otherwise why aren't they saying they'll sue the photographer(s)?

Yep. No doubt for the same reason that they never insisted that the multitude of newspapers and magazines those kids appeared in from when they were mere weeks old pixilated their faces, just to preserve even some semblance of privacy for them.

It’s unlawful to do this to a child in California. Those photos could only have been taken and published with parental content.

I think he does have a choice not to cut off his sister , he could maintain limited contact ,with boundaries, even some limited contact that never discusses the parents could be done ?

I find the Beckham family so strange. The way those grown up boys and girlfriends always hang around V&B. With all that money, they had all the opportunities in the world and could have the best education money can buy.

What I meant was, they hang around wherever their target happens to be at any given point in time, and then follow them to wherever they are going. Happens to a lot of people.

perhaps it’s to honour his acting ability in the multitude of ads he seems to be in

😂😂😂😂😂.

I'm actually quite shocked that the stars are available to buy but equally not in the least bit surprised that Beckham stumped up for one. Wonder if that's how the knighthood came about too!

I think the Beckhams are more likely furious they fucked up the bit about the California law and the use of children's images.

It's pretty obvious they DID set it up and gave permission. Otherwise why aren't they saying they'll sue the photographer(s)?

Really?
Feel free to tell that to my psychotherapist of 40 years of experience, psychiatrists and psychologist who diagnosed me with Complex PTSD and high functioning Anxiety of a score of 18 out of 18, to the point I am unable to use public toilets, use public transport, use an umbrella or wear a hood over my head, sleep for only 2 hours in any 24 hour period due to sibling flying monkey abuse from a parent.

And now ‘friends’ are briefing the press about how furious they are that Beckham has accused them of a publicity stunt

This has definitely not done anything to help brand Beckham with damage control has it? Very clearly a set up engineered by them. It’ll be interesting to see if Harper or the other sons end up doing a similar runner as Brooklyn.

I think you can feel sorry for Brooklyn while realising he’s also a bit of a knob. The trouble with people like him and Nicola is that their extreme wealth and privilege growing up can lead them to erroneously believe they are something special and when that isn’t coupled with any actual talent it must be quite difficult to accept or even see.

It’s the grandparents I feel most sorry for tbh.

Paid for it (around $30,000??) and agreed to the terms & conditions which is to agree to a papped ceremony to which he would bring a few celebrity pals and the family.

I believe Alan Rickman turned one down, put it that way.
