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.

He's lanced the boil, truth will always come out.
Guessed there was a lot more in this than met the eye.

Ownership says it's VB as parent or guardian for. I am not a lawyer and know diddly squat about the legal ins and outs of trademarks. But given that three out of four are now over 18, and it still has VB as the owner in the above form, it suggests that nothing has been automatically moved over to them on reaching adulthood. Maybe it doesn't?

For VB it might be more along the lines of ‘Spring / Summer collections may vary’

I’m not sure I agree, I’d not want the first dance at my wedding to be with my dad.

How would he have met her, if not by being Brooklyn Beckham?

It’s not like he’d have bumped into her in Aldi, is it.

There has to be footage somewhere that I am sure will suddenly get leaked!

Yes! Daily Mail comments section for sure…

Didn’t the Peltz’s sue the wedding planners, who had been drafted in at the last minute because and two other wedding planning companies had either quit or been fired. The company being sued said Nicola and her family were a nightmare, maybe that could explain why VB threw her hands in the air and refused to design the dress in the end. If I remember correctly the wedding planners only had good things to say about VB and DB. I wonder if their business survived.

I think this is an interesting reveal of a certain set of assumptions - that if you give your child enough money & status, you’re allowed to treat that child badly, invade their privacy, ignore their wishes, exploit their name for your own gain, etc.

In other words, you can buy the right to treat someone like shit.

I am sure this set of assumptions is shared by many wealthy people - which makes them awful parents.

I’m not wealthy, but if I was, and if I used my money to benefit my child, I hope I would have the decency to recognise that I had not bought my child by doing do. That my child still had rights - and that these included (for example) the right to use his own name however he wanted, and to refuse to dance with me in a way, and at a time, that he found inappropriate or upsetting.

He is the one who has labeled his surname the ‘Brand’ as if he’s been branded, if he feels that way- he can remove his surname from all his own ‘work’ - he can be his own person, if he wants to separate himself and his work from his very famous surname, which he has labeled ‘a brand’ - then he can do this quite easily, it doesn’t change his name - but it removes the association from the ‘brand’ he hates so much…

or does he like it because it gets him financial gain?

I think the latter.

How would she have met him if not being the daughter of a billionaire?

No I'm with you girl..think alot of it is exaggerated..for someone who wants privacy ..he's in the media every bloody day..let's see the receipts of all this..I hope the beckams have a comeback..

She wouldn’t have looked at him twice if he wasn’t a Beckham.

But the comparison isn’t his life vs life of ordinary person

it’s his life vs the life he could have had if his parents hadn’t exploited him for their brand

I find your last paragraph strange. Do you mean that unless you are suffering the same or similar then you have no right to feel troubled or be upset about anything? I always wonder why people trot this kind of thing out.

I remember some years ago when Brooklyn was coming of age 17/18 possibly but the rest of the kids were still children, and there was some pose between Brooklyn and Victoria which everyone said was a bit Inappropriate, possibly at one of her shows but cannot remember now, so it does tie in to what he says about the wedding dance.
The PR teams must have a long long night ahead of them (or afternoon for LA )
The whole situation does seem sad on all sides but Brooklyn may have had enough and he knows how the Pr machine works

I think it’s because it’s somewhat dehumanises somebody - and they don’t even like dogs! But my billionaire wife loves rescue dogs! So she is nice!

Interestingly, his story directly before the statement is about dogs too. So he must be a good person, if he’s trying to help dogs!

Thank you!!! I don’t feel sorry for him in the slightest, people fall out with their families all the time but don’t have billions of pounds to fall back into. It’s embarrassing.

I wonder if he’s OK. I find the statement very odd - why does he feel the need to air all this in public? I feel sorry for the Beckhams - I’m sure they must be worried about him but they probably have no way of reaching out.

Her family did pay for it.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think what a cow VB was to suddenly pull out of making the dress with just weeks to go. Every bride knows that getting the dress sorted is something you do months in advance. I'd have been so upset if I'd been Nicola.

Same. But I think they’re too above it to hit back in public. I hope so anyway.

Random nannies? It was their grandmothers.

If there not, the should be. Can start there own support group. Harry has got to be the OG nepo baby lol.

In all seriousness, it’s sad when families fall out so publicly. But I guess everything is public in these circles. It just cements my view that forcing your kids into a media circus is mostly a bad idea really!

I agree. I dislike this narrative of ‘they’ve given you money, so you can’t say a word against them without being called a brat/ungrateful’

His first name has also been TM’ed though

i I mean he could just change his whole name I suppose 🙄
