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.

Please remember this is a real family. They’re very rich but that won’t stop the upset and pain.

There are 2 sides to every story and its hard to know the whole truth about what has happened in these extremely privileged beyond wealthy families but whoever advised Brooklyn to do this publicly doesnt have his best interests at heart and i dont think it will result in the privacy and peace he says he and his wife want and need. It's so tragically sad.

There were credible kidnap threats for BB when he was months old too - yet he was still kept in the public eye after and then obviously his siblings were too.

Even if they tried to slink away from ‘public life’ I doubt the paparazzi etc would allow him to now. Then there’s the nutters/stalkers - they are never going to be able to have a regular life now even like other offspring of A listers who have been kept under the public radar.

If he's so keen to distance himself from his birth family, why hasn't he changed his name??

Victoria was probably jealous. She doesn't have the gumption to divorce David.

What should he change it to? It’s his name.

He could have fucked off several years ago if it was that bad
I’d also suggest he was more than happy with the life he was brought into for most of it so far and it was the platform for ending up with a billionaire’s daughter. The life he was born into was not exactly roughing it in a freezing shitty council flat off the ring road surviving on pot noodles and vimto is it.

What’s the Mary Charteris story about @Gahr?

How does he make a living without the family hype? He may enjoy privacy etc but does he have an actual job? At least both his parents did work for a living and gave every advantage to their children.

I know. All of these women he’s supposedly had affairs and (now) children with yet apart from RL not one of them has been named in the press or told their storey.

When you are that rich I imagine you are surrounded by so many Yes people. Who would dare stand up to him and challenge him? Maybe his wife’s parents?

The Tom Bower book on the Beckhams, covers a lot of detail about DB's alleged affairs, and the determination to keep Brand Beckham going.

He wrote about VB apparently leaning on Brooklyn for emotional support, and seems to think that he was party to a lot of details about his parents marriage that he probably shouldn't have known about. How true this is - who knows? AFAIK, no legal action followed from the Beckhams about the contents in the book.

The point about the name rights rings true, as Tom Bower also wrote about this as part of the Brand Beckham strategy - Brooklyn's name is a trademark owned by VB, it's visible on the Gov.uk register.

I imagine it would fuck anyone up to be a child in the middle of your parents' disintegrating marriage, which is being only held together for the PR and brand value, with journalists crawling about desperate to find the next crack in the facade.

I can absolutely see how he'd end up unhappy and anxious - throw into the mix that he's grown up in a blaze of publicity. Even worse when it comes to trying to find your niche, but you have no privacy to fail or get it wrong. His photos were terrible, but as he was 17-18ish at the time, I suspect the drive to publish the book was facilitated by his parents rather than him. If this was the case, then I think it's a huge disservice. Lots of teens try stuff and aren't very good; it's a normal part of working out what you want to do and hopefully finding something you like AND that you're good at.

That’s so specific it is believable. And puts the beckhams in a difficult light. I am sure they will spin it, with more images of a happy family smiling snd laughing, and either silence or some sympathy gathering statement about how much they love him, and are saddened and keep th4 door open for reconciliation again.

for me though I suspect the fault is on both sides, and Brooklyn is likely not as innocent as he makes out, but I beleive what he’s written about his parents.

Brooklyn says in his statement that “Brand Beckham comes first.”
I said this, in previous threads about Victoria, her Netflix series. All David and Victoria care about is the brand. It’s why she’s shied away from his infidelities. It’s why she’s settled for keeping his name. They’ve sold out to the brand. Well done Brooklyn for seeing the reality through all their vacuous PR. I hope your siblings see the light too. For their sakes.

It’s a similar dynamic from the outside. I mean, we’re gossiping about famous people 🤷‍♀️

They've brought the pain upon themselves. About time the world saw these shysters for what they are. I am sorry for Brooklyn, though.

Sarah Marbreck did, Danielle Heath did

I imagine the Beckham pr machine is whirring away and the other kids are going to be pushed front and centre

remember when they thought Cruz was going to be the next Justin bieber and his xmas single flopped?

VB is the ultimate stage mum

i also think he is right about his parents dripping the poison about Nicola into the press - of course it’s easier to blame her but it isn’t the actions of parents who want to reconcile

The parents both had their own tables equal distance away from the top table

It’s still there.

Whatever you think about him he has had zero say on being out on social media from a young age. I can’t imagine what that must have been like. I have never put a single photo of my children on social media as it isn’t fair on them. None of the other spice girls have done this. It is possible to keep your children relatively anonymous. It has always been weird the way the children are summoned for photo ops

Sceptical about a lot of that. Can believe the general gist that the Beckhams are all about the brand I’m sure they have a whole different version of events. There will be a reason why VB pulled out of designing the wedding dress etc.

If he’s got real bollocks he’ll post the video of the wedding dance but I suspect it’s not quite as controversial as he’s made out.

Agree with those who say he’s waited until he’s found another family to bank roll him until he took a pop at D and V.

What a shit show.

There are many celebrities who lead completely private lives and you never see their children. It's perfectly possible.
A good example is the Clooneys. Their children have regular names and don't get promoted by their parents.

They'll have been paid off very handsomely, and also threatened by tough lawyers.
