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 think they’ll be just fine. Meanwhile, there are kids out there suffering terribly..

They’re both incredibly ambitious & don’t want the smallest yacht.

I don't think VB is talentless.

Far from it, I think she was the brains creating and driving the Beckham brand.

The stress that every child must have growing up in a hugely famous family in the social media age it’s no wonder many of them question their identity and find it very difficult to find a career

The Tom Bowyer book was interesting. He talked about how the kids were used as shields when DB/VB had negative publicity and were used as click bait for brand Beckham.
They came across terribly in their grasping ways and mutually beneficial relationship with the papers.

plenty of famous people manage to bring up their children out of the glare of the public eye until they’re old enough to make the decision for themselves

Papers can’t show the kids faces without permission.

Would Nicola have even looked at him if he wasn’t the son of David and Victoria.

Most parents don’t get everything right. I feel sorry for Brooklyn’s parents when they have given him so much.

Brooklyn’s wife has got a beautiful joyful genuine smile. She always looks happy in video footage.

Nicola might be rich, but on the face of it I think she’s world’s away from the creepiness of Brand Beckham. It must take gargantuan neuroses to only eat steamed fish and never smile for 30 years.

He has massively benefited from the brand though hasn't he. Yes lots of awkward moments that probably surfaces between many families. The renewal of the vows was all over social media too, so I don't think he wants that much privacy, he has just entered into a different brand. I find it hard to feel sorry for someone who has led a life of luxury and used the Beckham name to promote all his endeavours.

Nicole Peltz family is super wealthy and the Beckhams net worth is tiny compared to the Peltz. Why were they doing this? It is so embarrassing and wrong. It is not like he was marrying down and needed to protect his last name which came from working class parents anyway. I remembered thinking it must be awkward for them that BB married someone so wealthy.

Totally agree. He never acts as if he even likes her.

This is BRUTAL!

He’s certainly gone up in my estimation…and I do feel what he’s said is the truth

Wow

I'm warming my hands on that burning bridge from here.

Is there such a thing as bad publicity when you earn your living from it? Maybe ask the Kardashians.

What is that brand though exactly? She has a failing fashion business. He’s an ex footballer.

Loving parents would not have pushed Brooklyn into publishing the photography book. It was obvious they wanted him to be a star and photography would be the thing that made him one. He was only 18 and they made him look ridiculous. They will do the same with the other boy’s music career. God help the daughter.

The love of money is the root of all
evil & this is the God the Beckhams worship. Their son has exceeded expectations & lived out the key family value. It’s a cautionary tale, be careful what you wish for.

Probably draping herself over him and he's just thinking 'mum, get off me'. Mortifying.
I want clarification about the birthday party - of which there were several (DB milked it for months). When BB says Nicola wasn't invited does he mean to the all boy fishing trip (oh I do love that this saga has a 'fishing trip') that he didn't go to or does he really mean his dad couldn't be arsed to come to his hotel for a drink in the bar?

I actually believe BB but also think some things are a bit vague.

I think as the eldest he has had a different upbringing to the other children. Been more aware of the goings on and more of a confidante to his mother - which he shouldn't have been.

Was very telling over covid that he chose to stay in the USA with his new girlfriend and wouldn't come back the UK (so many stories published in the Daily Mail about VB missing him).

Yes that can happen but it doesn’t seem like it’s what’s happening here.

Honestly from reading his statement what he states is very on par with what I observe at work in terms of dynamics between this type of parents and their kids. I can guarantee you that most kids I work with have just about 100 reasons to go no contact with their parents irrelevant of who they might marry or fall for in the future.

Brand Beckham.

David stopped being a good footballer 10-15 years ago. VB made Brand Beckham.

The dynamic in the Peltz family, looking at wedding planning released texts & info, looking similarly toxic.

Ive never heard this? Can't say I'd blame her after DBs antics!

So many of these posts are so cruel and clearly come from people who have never experienced abusive family members or the huge and crippling anxiety that cones from dealing with them.

Beckham is HIS NAME. Why should he give it up? I am NC with some of my family - should i have to make up a new name as an adult and distance myself from my roots and the other family members i am/was close to (grandparents etc) simply because i chosr to stand up for myself and remove myself from emotional abuse?!

As for the displaced dogs during the fire thing - yes Nicola's rich but the Beckham's are much more famous and in terms of raising awareness and spreading the word, I can see how their help would have been invaluable.

I never liked Brooklyn and Nicola but since reading this I am kind of on their side. I believe it, for a start. And to those saying that he wouldn't be so quick to speak out if his wife wasnt rich - how do you know? People walk away from abusive parents and toxic families all the time. I certainly walked away from a huge inheritance when i went NC and didnt walk into money. Maybe those of you saying that haven't experienced a toxic parent or family environment and thats lucky but dont be so judgy of those who have.

The poor boy hasn't said a word all this time and neither has his wife who the press have tried to paint as evil. Just because he doesnt want to be part of his family's brand or have a lot of drama doesnt mean he should feel forced to disappear altogether. Why shouldn't he share photos with his wife like other, non-famous people do? He's hardly begging for the spotlight by having a fairly normal social media.

The dancing “on” Brooklyn is the weirdest thing. No doubt he hasn’t released the footage because he’s embarrassed but if he did and it is as he described, I don’t know how posh would recover. As for calling him evil because he sat the nannas on his table and allowing someone to call her the most beautiful woman in the room on someone else’s wedding day, words fail me. I can only imagine the bride’s mother detests her.

Another half daft super privileged person who thinks HE can control the narrative and that this will all go his way. Should have kept his trap firmly shut and sorted it out or cut them off or whatever behind closed doors. But he's addicted to attention and the dopamine hits of likes.

He's none too bright, to be fair neither are his parents, she in particular presents as quite thick. Super spoiled, brought up in an echo chamber, none too bright, parents who monetised their lives for likes. None of it augurs well.

The thing about abusing your parents in public is you had better be really really really sure you want to destroy that relationship and they had better be real monsters you never want to have a close relationship with again. Some things cannot be healed.

Silly wee fucker just blew up the rest of his life to get a bit of attention and punish his parents for whatever he imagines they've done.
