Brooklyn Beckham sends parents legal letter

[Downunderduchess]

I saw in the media that Brooklyn Beckham has had a legal letter sent to his parents requesting that they stop trying to make contact with him. I didn’t realise the talk of him falling out with them was real, thought it was just gossip. I think I was a bit shocked by it. Of course I don’t know them but they always seemed like a lovely close family.

True - the real evidence though (re: infidelity) all points to early days of marriage.

It's very sad. The Beckham's always seemed close to their DC until after Brooklyn got married. It must be dreadful as a parent if you get knighted and your eldest DC refuses to come to celebration.

The parents aren't the victim here. It's not Bs job to soothe his parents feelings.

... because the celebration is 'an orchestrated PR event' designed to be sold to media outlets (like practically everything in the Beckham Brand - The Daily Mail reports on them several times a day. They must get their stories and pictures from somewhere, oh yes, the Beckhams).

Seems a fair reason not to attend.

Allegedly due to a number of super injunctions and NDA’s.
Tattle has a lot of interesting posts on this

Ive had 2 push notifications from the times about this story over the weekend 😂

But, but… surely The Times is FAR too important to cover this?!

You keep saying stuff like this as though it mitigates everything - so apparently it’s fine if it happened a few years ago, it’s fine if there were only two of them.

He’s a known cheat, who has humiliated his wife publicly - does it really matter when or how many times?

Yes, exactly and Parsons has an acceptance rate of 60/70%, which is basically ‘everyone’ by US college admissions standards.

Also, if someone cheats in the early years of marriage, when you'd expect them to be still in some sort of 'honeymoon period', how likely it is that they would be steadfastly faithful when they're both middle aged and have been married a quarter of a century?

Granted, DB is no longer the raging hunk superstar footballer lusted after by women around the world. But he's stil rich and famous and that is enough for many women, so I don't doubt he has plenty of opportunity, with little fear of any negative consequences.

So while I have no 'evidence' I'd be shocked if he has been faithful for decades and the Rebecca Loos episode was some kind of aberration. More likely he's just been a bit more discreet since then.

Nothing worse as a parent to be alienated from your child imo. Saw beckhams locally to me, seemed close knit.

But had footballers at my DCs school, and their DCs were never in the papers. Perhaps because only one famous parent.

Who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

Strange only happened after his marriage though, maybe she’s the cause or the one who made him realise his dysfunctional upbringing.

i Don’t know, Brooklyn irritates me no end. From the terrible “photography” book to the laughable “cooking” shows …. The kid is useless. He’s had all the money and opportunity in the world and he still can’t make anything of himself. “I’m a photographer … but I can’t be arsed to actually learn anything about photography”

“I’m a chef now anyway, but I can’t be arsed do actually do the work that everyone else has to do to earn that title … despite my dad being good mates with Gordon Ramsay”

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ramsay was approached but Brooklyn ran a mile when he realised he’d actually be expected to work.

it is the parents fault though, they should have cut the money when they realised he wasn’t willing to do anything with his life.

Now he’s found a new bank roll so cuts them off - hardly surprising giving his attitude.

I like to think people can change & relationships can recover.

Interesting. I have come across that situation with ‘ordinary’ people. Not millionaires, but enough money to cause damage. The estrangement that came out of it was very sad to see.

Not true. I have a close relative who witnessed the Glasto stuff. He was absolutely shocked at how DB was behaving. Totally blatant about it.

Just an aside - it is really unfortunate when a couples’ initials equate to either diarrhoea & vomiting or venereal disease

If you really think about it, it must have been an awful childhood - being told that you have to dress up and smile for every photo opportunity, or that your birthday is being covered for OK magazine, whether you like it or not. Eventually you must realise that you are little more than an accessory to your parents grotesque narcissism.

All those Nepo babies that are pushed to become 'models' on catwalk shows, which then get covered by the media, and then commented on by millions. Imagine then reading that you are not a model, you are very ordinary looking, you have a face like a potato, you are downright ugly, the cashier in Lidl is better looking, etc. Then if you do manage to establish yourself in the celebrity world, you'll spend the rest of your life explaining to people that your mum is Demi Moore and your dad Bruce Willis or being described as Lourdes, Madonna's daughter in the media...

Robbie Williams was on a podcast recently where he said his 13 year old daughter is 'desperate for fame' he said he had never seen her kind of desperation, that he had desperation, but not like hers, and for him it was a way out of a shitty life. His kids seem to have been kept out of the limelight, yet somehow it must creep into their psyche. He laughed and said she will be fine as she is a nepo baby.

Yes, I’m finding the stuff about getting into Parsons on merit VERY strange to the point where I’m beginning to wonder if the poster is VB 😂 not to mention the evidence that Brooke got “great”A-levels is based on VB saying on Instagram that he did. “Great” could mean anything in that context.

I know someone who worked for the Beckhams closely for years. DB is serially unfaithful. It makes VB very unhappy (understandably).

Brooklyn has always been a huge worry to VB in particular because of his lack of drive and intellect. Unfortunately, she chose to deal with it in totally the wrong way by shoehorning him into glamorous professions, rather than just leaving him to figure out by himself. It’s all very sad.

But what’s his motivation to change? She’s never going to leave him.

He’s just like every other arrogant man in that position - happy to have his cake and eat it.

Maybe their son got sick of the hypocrisy.

If the sexes were reversed people would be speculating that a husband was isolating his wife from her family and coercive control.

There are a lot of rumours about Brooklyn’s wife and her family. Some very unpleasant.

The Beckhams aren’t a perfect family (and I don’t think they would claim that they are).

But, ultimately I think they adore their children and are very grateful for them and proud of them. I’ve never heard or read anything to suggest they have treated fans, staff or family badly. I don’t believe they are bad people.

They possibly did put their children in front of the paparazzi too much and too soon; before social media and knowledge about how this could potentially damage them was really talked about. I don’t believe they ever set out to hurt their children.

Both D&V appear to have very happy and loving relationships with their parents and siblings. Both have always worked incredibly hard.

DB has had affairs but ultimately they decided to stay together. Not a unique situation and they appear to have put that in the past and now live a healthy family life.

BB has also cut contact with his siblings and grandparents (as far as I know). Why? What could they have done?

None of their other children appear to have any negative feelings towards their parents or wider family.

I think the available evidence suggests manipulation from BB’s wife and in-laws. I suspect this situation is shattering V&D Beckham’s hearts and i really feel for them.

.

Some of the most abusive households and people are the ones who can put on the nice face to the outside world.

Look at horrific criminal cases and you get he was the pillar of the community. Lovely person who would give you their last £1 and shirt off their back. Would do anything for anyone.

Has a wife and children all abused behind closed doors with the perfect image painted on while out.

Women whose own families don’t believe the husband is abusive because his sooo nice.

A nice public persona doesn’t mean people are nice behind their own closed doors.

At least an arsehole you can see coming.

Poor kids didn’t stand a chance with these two as parents. All over social media from a really young age. It really is so contrived - all the posing & posturing.

I have a 13 year old daughter & am pretty horrified at the thought of her being exposed to all that online crap.

Admittedly I've only ever seen the headlines about all this and never read the actual stories, but is anyone else suspicious it's a conspiracy between both sides to stay current and in the headlines in a Kardashian 'controversy is better than fading into old news' kind of way?

No. My guess is that BB is experiencing something very real and that this is not about him being manipulated by his “difficult” wife. The rest of his family is making him
look like the villain. Shame on them for not honouring his wishes to go nc for now and doing so in such a public way. Anyone can see the attempt to save face in sm posts.
