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.

Brooklyn has reasonable A levels & they don’t let anyone into Parsons esp post Ivy League admissions scandal.

He wanted to succeed there but felt very homesick apparently. He seems sensitive & others prob made mincemeat of him over that ‘What I see photo book’!

Maybe his parents are also a dissapointment to him.

He can’t have much respect for his father knowing he cheats on his mother constantly and yet everyone pretends they are this perfect family.

Well for a different generation it was seen as ‘right’ thing to do. Dr Spock. ‘Cry it Out’, Gina Ford:..Each generation has its own wisdom & perceived ‘right’ way.

Mumsnet of 2040s/50s: “AIBU to go no contact with Mum as she gave me an iPad whenever we went out on day trips”. “That’s not great parenting is it”.

He married into a family whose money was made through consistent application of intellect. The Beckham parent's Instagram posts would be viewed as poor judgment and lacking in decorum in senior corporate circles.

The request for communication through lawyers alone is an attempt to shut down the public attention seeking of V and D. The Beckhams seem to have been influenced by the Royal manipulation of the media, releasing stories and setting up photo shoots.

Seems sensible to me that Brooklyn would prefer to shut this drama down.

There’s no simply evidence for this & yet trotted out all the time. VB went nuclear over Loos - we know about that & some evidence re: a spanish model but where is the proof of his 2020s affairs? The period in Spain was rocky, they were apart.

Would VB really stay with him if he was a serial cheat?

The Peltz parents seem more sophisticated & quieter certainly. Quietly ruthless & dangerous perhaps too…

Totally normal in the UK even in the 1960s. Some prams were even left at the end of the garden. Much better for the kids to be in fresh air.

Exactly. It’s an example of how quickly we forget. It’s very easy to judge our parents incredibly harshly, especially in a ‘my truth’ era.

He's living off her daddy's money not his own. He's a spoilt brat with no future of his own.

Does he?

Even if it was only those two, which I highly doubt - that’s still hugely disrespectful to his wife and blows a hole in the happy family image.
Besides, how many affairs does it take to make somebody a cheater?

As to why she stays, it’s pobably for the benefits of Brand Beckham.

My point was that maybe he got sick of his parents hypocrisy.

But on the other hand, if brooklyn doesn’t want to be in the press then why is his wife putting on attention seeking posts with them both wearing matching outfits?

Poor Brooklyn. I do feel like he’s moved from being manipulated by his parents and made to feel useless for lacking a particular talent, to being manipulated by his wife and her family. I don’t think it will end well for him but hopefully I’m wrong. Hope he finds an equilibrium somewhere.

I know right?? Poor little Brooklyn so hard done by, going from mummy and daddys multi-millionaire lifestyle to his wife's billionaire one. Never having to stand on his own two feet.

Children grow and change. Perhaps he’s found a therapist he trusts. Perhaps being married has made him realise the value of marriage and question his parents’ own situation.

But if someone who isn’t hurting themselves or others is repeatedly asking for space, then for goodness sake, show enough respect to give them that space.

And have some dignity about it.

My feeling is V & D love each other. Spain was difficult & marriages can & do weather storms. People can & do evolve

Most pre nups would agree a figure/assets in all eventualities so it closes down appeals or future claims. his lawyer would have seen to that.

He'll be fine without his parents and I doubt we'll see him down in Lidl anytime soon 😂

I agree. It seems odd to me no children yet as both on record saying they are very keen to be parents asap. Of course there may be fertility issues we’re not aware about but that asideN in her 30s & from large family.

It feels like there’s a power imbalance & B is a purchased toy for Nicola that has to stay in his box or else. What happens when/if she grows tired if so.

There must be more to this than the narrative of neurotic new wife who refused to wear MIL dress.

There seems to be enormous pressure on Brooklyn to be ‘someone’ - does this pressure come from the press, his parents, himself? It’s not clear, but the way the press mockingly point out his failings can’t be easy. He’s not the sharpest - but then neither are his parents.

Who as an adult, really communicates with their parents via social media? It’s weird. I don’t blame him for wanting them not to post/tag/engage with him online - it’s embarrassing and more about likes than actual connection. Hopefully they can make peace in private.

You’re right on space.

‘Bad’ therapy can be unhelpful & the ££ expensive, ‘American’ kind often doesn’t encourage much self reflection.

I imagine Mr P’s first wife and indeed his second wife hasn’t featured too much in any of B’s therapy. All’s well with the beautiful, decades younger third, so…

This is the impassion i have. I find it so weird how D&VB put all their well wishes to their kids on social media. It is starting to feel performative.

Not to derail but I once read an article where this woman said that a lot of celebrity men who cheat on their wives start to look quite ugly when it all comes out. She cited quite a few examples and I have to agree. I'm not saying DB has gone ugly, but...

It’s interesting he’s now apparently in touch with his much loved Grandparents. Does Granny Jackie WhatsApp?

That applies to the whole thread tbf. People are just speculating for the most part.

Interesting that you thought it was untrue. The beckhams would have sued otherwise! I know our tabloids can spout rubbish but this has been consistently in the news for the last year or so - even rags wouldn’t push a story for that long if it was false. Most of
the celeb news is true/ might be slightly off but not enough that the celeb will sue as there is etill
some truth to it.
