Wow Brooklyn Beckham's statement doesn't hold back!

[Totallybannanas]

Has anyone seen his recent statement on Instagram? I actually feel very sorry for him.

I’m sure he didn’t, but that was hardly his choice was it? We can’t help the lives we’re born into.

The examples are so specific and some with witnesses such as the first dance with VB, I totally believe him.

It took a lot of courage to speak out, I respect him for that. In fact he's been quite restrained for some time. I wish him all the best he's clearly been under a lot of pressure

They won’t do anything. Or if they do, it’ll be some sort of happy family puff-piece.

They’ll be like when David’s affair came to light.

I agree. I came from an abusive poor household and separated myself from them at just turned 17, I left with a few hundred quid from my part time job. He is 26 still with a public Instagram page posting shite cookery videos whining about wanting a private life?! It must be embarrassing for him that none of his ventures have taken off but he has had many years as an adult now where he has been free to make his own decisions. Lots of celebs fall off the radar and are never seen again, I'm pretty sure the son of celebs could do that if they wanted to. His public social media pages would indicate that that is something he has no interest in.

I agree, it’s a form of neglect.

Look at posts on here - grown women, in their 40s and 50s, understandably stressed because they feel bullied at work/excluded by playground mums/rejected by family/left out by friends.

Now just imagine the whole world (nearly!) has an opinion on you, your family, your background, everything you do… and you didn’t choose it, just circumstances at birth. Never knowing who you can trust (hence marrying somebody who ‘gets it’ possibly). Never free to just walk down the road alone and go into a shop. Must be horrible!

The Bowers book names several. Brooklyn’s comment about ‘inauthentic relationships’ is interesting in the light of these rumours

@mumstheword1x
He is a very damaged young man. As are his brothers. And his sister.

I understood it to mean they - DB&VB - wanted Brooklyn to sign away the professional ‘use’ of his name to David and Victoria to own and capitalise on. For example, they could launch and market a range of “Brooklyn Beckham/BB Cookware” but THEY would own the name and get money from it. The name “Brooklyn Beckham” and derivatives of it would become an entity in its own right that David and Victoria would/could make money from (hence the payday comment).

Good for him I have always felt sorry for the children they have lived a life of ridicule for the brand

They have sold their children to the press for their brand and desire for attention and more money but their desire for attention seems to override everything

there was absolutely no need for their children’s lives to be intruded on so much they are not royalty (even this shouldn’t be expected but they are for different reasons an interest the to public)

I hope he is very happy with his wife

I’m amazed that I find myself believing most of what he says - it sounds plausible and balanced. Although I think he may have had help writing it!!

I don’t think it’s so much posters calling it out as that those rumours were already in the press and on gossip forums. Meaning that it’s likely Brooklyn’s side were also planting stories.

isn’t BB just another nepo baby with no discernible talent but endless opportunities, most of which have been absolutely spaffed?

That said, DB and VB seem to have pimped their kids since before they were even born, with little thought for their wishes or well-being, so no particular sympathy for them. And DB will clearly take any shilling on offer.

What an absolute shower of shit.

I still don't blame him. The Beckhams sound abusive and I don't know why some people see them as national treasures. They are IMO gifters on a par with the Kardashians, although less obviously crass and tacky.

Actually I don’t believe this .. actually far less then a lot of celebrity couples .. They all hounded by the press 24hrs a day more than most .

Sadly I’m not surprised. I suspected Brooklyn in particular was very much controlled

the mention of always being at the photo calls (such as at her fashion shows) rang very true - the press were pretty vicious the first time he and his wife didn’t go to her Paris show and it always felt like they had been briefed

Was absolutely sure he would mention it. That would be the ultimate fuck them under the bus moment.

Agreed, not to mention the charities are rolled out whenever they’re under negative press scrutiny including during covid link from 2020, caveat it’s the Sun (I know!):

Noting that BB also said he was put under intense public and private pressure from VB/DB… If BB steps back now and leaves them to it fair play to him.

Love that he’s kept up a close relationship with his grandparents. That speaks volumes.

Yes, whilst I do have marginally more sympathy for him, it does all seem a bit Harry MW

Is there a video of the first dance? I'd love to see it.

They have always appeared shallow and vain and grasping and fake to me too. Usually I just scroll past articles about them.
The Rebecca Loos affair. Victoria just let it go. Yuck.
The daughter with dyed hair and make up 🙄 constantly in front of the cameras. ☹️
I can’t believe he got his knighthood- for shame whoever was responsible for giving it to him.
How lovely that Brooklyn included his grandmother Sandra Beckham at the top table because she is divorced from his grandfather and hadn’t a partner.

Talk about scorched earth! Brand Beckham is in the toilet after this. They sound abusive and controlling. Good for him for speaking out.

Yeah, the stuff about Katherine Jenkins wasn’t a good look…

Poor Harper. I felt awful for her at Holly Ramsay's wedding. She was dressed so so inappropriately for her age, slathered in makeup and in a slinky dress. She looked about 35! Victoria is a creep.

It’s the drama, Mick, I love it

Cruz Beckham's first Instagram post dates from 2016 when he was 11 years old. What the fuck was going through his parents heads to allow that? Publicity!
