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.

if you met my exh you would probably think I was the unhinged one because I still suffer the psychological effects of having been tortured by him. On paper he is a saint incarnate.

I have always said his mother relationship was strange. She was always photographed draped over him like he was her Husband, very unhealthy.

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,

He wasn't brought up in the era of Insta and TikTok. I don't think it's anything to do with her being Robbie Williams' daughter, rather she's just being a typical 13 year old, many of whom have their eyes on a future career as an SM star and influencer.

What bizarre pronouncements many of them factually incorrect.

DB was estranged from his own father for years. One could question that as he was known to have sacrificed and dedicated a lot for DB.

Saying that people didn’t know about SM damage to children is silly - they certainly do now but the Beckhams parade their teenage daughter around to make ££££.

Also DBs affairs have been multiple and recent and anyone can see that they have wrecked VB and seemingly the millions of pounds slung at her failed vanity project for decades was some sort of distraction and hush money like throwing a dog a bone.

VB is very fragile emotionally and looks like BB was her emotional place to download or her absorbed her MH issues and distress. No wonder he has no drive - looks like he has been emotionally stunted by parentification. But I do agree he has chosen a dissatisfied wife who is the same emotionally as his mother that he is trying to soothe.

@Blindsideddyou’re talking about being factually incorrect but then say that ‘anyone can see’ David’s affairs have ‘wrecked’ VB. These affairs have not been confirmed, its gossip and speculation and your words are purely based on assumption. How do you know VB is fragile emotionally? Or that Brooklyn was her place to download and that she downloaded her mental health issues onto him??

We don't know that BB was heavily parentified or that VB used him as a dumping ground for her emotions and problems. That is pure speculation.

He was certainly the photo baby of the brand and look at us as a perfect family and as someone else said wheeled out everytime an issue crept up in the press.

I watched both documentaries VBs and DBs where she openingly spoke about her ED and MH. Her fragility was palpable. That’s not a criticism of her. In fact the opposite. DB numerous affairs required a super injunction and the most recent (public one at least) has been well documented but not legally challenged by DB. I didn’t say BB was heavily parentified - I said he ‘looks like’ - as the oldest child is often the buffer and absorber of emotional overload in toxic / dysfunctional marriages.

@BlindsideddI completely agree that he had an affair with Rebecca Loos but I can’t find anything else about super injunctions, only this from the guardian which was re the knighthood saga and leaked emails. I’m not trying to be obtuse and I don’t know if he has had multiple affairs or not but it’s not factual, it surely is speculation and rumour no?

But none of us can know what’s ‘factually correct’ or not, can we?

What have BB’s siblings and grandparents done to deserve the no contact?

Of course people are going to have different opinions but I don’t believe D&V are bad people.

Also, I don’t think David was actually ever estranged from his father? I know that it took many years for him to tell David that he was proud of him but were they actually estranged?

A lof of celebrities and members of the RF are used to fame from a young age. It’s not a given that it messes people up. BB is still putting himself out there on sm etc. so doesn’t appear to not want fame.

He is apparently in contact with the grandparents.

I would expect the Siblings to be flying monkeys however.

I can see it. Anyone who has experienced similar can see the signs.

the Beckhams parade their teenage daughter around to make ££££.

how does harper appearing on instragram make them money?

instagram doesn’t pay influencers, and people aren’t buying Victoria Beckham clothes because harper appeared in the background. They do not make their money through hello/ ok magazine deals.

I think the reason harper is paraded around is as simple as, they are a family, and they aren’t a private one.

you could argue that this is the angle brand Beckham has taken to stay relevant, and that may be true (although I think it’s a stretch to say harper is directly a significant part of that) but that doesn’t translate directly into ££££.

Here you go - very messy involving their child in their messy affairs. D&V haven’t challenged either TB or any of the reporting - why would that be?

All clicks lead to cash one way or another once your famous / influencer level. You get offered deals, cash, adds That give cash.

Using their youngest daughter brings in younger females to follow along the brand overall. It’s all marketing.

Keep up the appearance as a popular brand and companies will keep giving you deals.

I mean even all the negative comments Brooklyn is getting on his posts is actually building up his profile. Haters paying him basically it’s hilarious.

But that isn’t true in this case. VB rarely promotes brands other than her own and where she does, I feel you are very much reaching to allege she’s getting those brand deals directly from parading harper around.

don’t forget, they are not influencers. They are (for want of a better word) business people. House of Beckham did a brilliant job at breaking down their accounts for the last few decades and tracking the cash and tax avoidance.

Brand deals etc WERE a massive source of income for them back in the day. But we are talking DB taking MILLIONS for a Japanese one photoshoot ad campaign. We’re not talking ie MrsHinch lenor.
They have never been part of that world. I think they would be, if that had to, but their commercial money was made long ago.

eta I do agree that overall, the Beckham feud is helping my their “lore” in much the way loos did. But it’s not clicks lead to cash, for them at least.

I think it’s more that they use their kids to try and stay relevant. They’re both in their 50’s, having Harper dressed in the satin nighties and trying the make up is to appeal to a younger audience

Do you know how much those silk dresses are? £850 full price.

I can’t accept that anyone thinks VB is trying to sell her clothes to 14 year olds. They are VERY clearly marketed at a much older audience, which makes up her customer base.

Being on social media is a requisite for
many businesses today and isn’t necessarily about fame.

I don't think the satin lingerie stile dress is suitable for 13/14 year olds anyway

I feel this is incorrect and perhaps a little ageist!

VB’s clothing brand seems very credible now. Her make up especially is popular. I have a friend who bought a pair of Victoria Beckham jeans; she said they are the most comfortable jeans she’s ever worn.

DB has just been knighted.

Both have individually been the subject of Netflix documentaries.

They may be in their 50’s but both are still ‘relevant’!

No one knows what’s gone on, we most likely never will. For me it’s wild that people actually think that “they must have done something for him to cut them off” it could literally be anything. I like the beckhams, Brooklyn seems like a nice lad. I initially thought he was in a limerence relationship. He still could be. I know of a few relationships like this. My ex boyfriend was one of them. We were also best friends which is why we split up and he got with someone else and she didn’t want him talking to us, he was infatuated with her. so he cut off our little group who was predominantly female. Haven’t spoken to him properly in 21 years. He did message me a few years back to apologise and that he hadn’t contacted me sooner because he was embarrassed.
it’s not always the parents, it’s not always the kids… sometimes it’s outside people that are the problem.

@Kickinthenostalgia what's the luminescence thing?
