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

Does anyone else want to see the video of VB grinding on her son at his wedding 👀

I'd say it's massively exaggerated and he deliberately tried to humiliate her in as many ways as possible. His wife probably said it was inappropriate and then it grew arms and legs.

Who knows what the truth is but …if these allegations are true why has he blocked his siblings and why haven’t they been showing allegiance towards him ?
Two sides to a story me thinks !

I'm guessing they're used to a certain lifestyle and if they turned against their parents they'd no longer have that.
Nicolas money probably allows Brooklyn to be free of his parents. Whether or not he's swapped one gilded cage for another remains to be seen.

I'm guessing the Peltz family must really despise the Beckham family.

I expect Beckham PR are busy tonight

It will be interesting what they say , perhaps nothing and it will die away

Because his siblings have drunk the koolaid? Why is it unbelievable that siblings in a family might not all have the same experience? I have always had a weird icky feeling about the Beckhams. David has creepy eyes despite his permagrin, and Victoria is a psycho.

Rollonsummer1 · 19/01/2026 20:01

I have to say people called all this out on here ! It was spot on what posters said !!

I can't believe it , what the hell was the wedding dance ?
What was she thinking ?
Were they madly jealous ??
Why did they cancel her dress ??
She called him evil for putting two single grannies ln their table ?

I think that Brand Beckham may be planting replies on this post.

He wasn't exactly a great asset to 'brand Beckham', if anything if they tried to keep him a part of it it was like they were trying to do him a favour, any time he ever did anything by himself the vast majority of commenters were saying he was a bit simple and things like that and ridiculing him for thinking he was a chef when he cooked a sausage sandwich or a photographer when he took a photo.

He shouldn't have been in a situation where anyone knew who he was to comment.

Although to be completely fair on the Beckhams, I don't know whether his early fame was more a function of the tabloid's obsession with his parents or his parent's desire for fame.

RosePetalsRose · 19/01/2026 20:02

I hope he comes out with more. Maybe about the alleged affairs.
The Beckhams wouldn’t dare sue him.
Brooklyn could literally destroy their brand and image with everything he knows and there woudn’t be much they could do.

Tableforjoan · 19/01/2026 20:02

The other Beckham boys are still being fed from the teat.

Harper is to young.

inkognitha · 19/01/2026 19:39

That’s his Oprah interview moment.
He’s pulling a Harry, but I m afraid he’s jumping from one dysfunctional environment to another.

That’s what I said ‘American wife’ … now that sounds familiar…

Brand Beckham may be fake, but Brooklyn Beckham still cashed in on it. If he genuinely wanted authenticity he could have walked away at any point in adulthood and earned his own money and reject financial help from the ‘Beckham Brand’; instead he waited until he secured someone else to bankroll his lifestyle to yap about independence and turn on his family.

frankly, there’s children dying in war stricken countries and we’ve got a baby millionaire crying because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Winds me up.

I don’t think that’s quite right, really. He’s only 26 and has been with his wife since he was 18 or 19.

Rollonsummer1 · 19/01/2026 20:03

The world has ridiculed him because they put him out for sale as baby and before

OneOfEachPlease · 19/01/2026 19:39

I feel sorry for him. And we’re only gonna hear more tales like this. Brooklyn Beckham was effectively one of the first influencer children pimped out to make their parents money/more money. There’ll be more cases like this coming.

I’m waiting for all four of Father of Daughters’ kids to sue him. It’ll be glorious!

OneMoreYearMyFriend · 19/01/2026 20:04

I’m sure there is a lot of truth in his statement - Brand Beckham rules, his childhood has been fucked up and deeply affected him etc.

He and his wife would have slightly more credibility if they weren’t constantly posing on social media and trying to create their own ‘brand’.

Is he going to ‘write’ a Spare type book now? Bet Posh & Becks are bricking it!

peacefulpeach · 19/01/2026 20:04

As Harry knows, it’s awful being a useless kid. Succeeding at very little. Never being as successful as your parents or sibling/s. It’s hard to take. It must be tough.

I think it’s a different kind of pressure.

If you grow up with A listers as godparents, every friend and acquaintance is famous and rich, you live in a guilded cage but occasionally peek out to see the judgement and ridicule of ‘everyone else’, it’s going to feel safer to stay where you are.

If Brooklyn got a job as a pub chef tomorrow
and lived in a normal house, he would still be hounded by the press and it’d be ‘the Beckham who failed to launch’ type stuff. He would probably have crazy people turning up at his door, he’s famous whether he wants to be or not. Look at Suri Cruise.

I hope the same. I was annoyed when David finally got his Knighthood, he showed his true self a few years back when those emails were leaked. He threw an absolute shit fit and basically admitted that all his charity work was in hope of getting a knighthood. Just gross. And yes, I hope Brooklyn spills all the tea. I wonder what really went down with Mary Charteris, for example.

mummygranny · 19/01/2026 20:05

The crockery will be flying in the Beckham house tonight … she will be furious … how will they get back from this … DB always come across so weak will be interesting to see the fall out in coming days

IAmKerplunk · 19/01/2026 20:05

DeathBanana · 19/01/2026 19:58

Genuine question. I’ve heard over and over that they sold their childhoods for the brand. I don’t read the daily mail or hello or whatever, so I really don’t know how they’ve sold their kids. Is it stories about them in those types of publications, or photos of them on holiday on Instagram? I could be sitting next to them in the pub and not know who they were.

Back in the day (pre social media) they sold their stories to Hello/Ok regularly and called paparazzi to take photos of them with their dc - often this meant the paparazzi then left them alone - and their faces were never blurred.

I think people forget how huge they both were in the 90s pre social media. Always on the front cover of magazines and newspapers (that were sold in their millions compared to today)

Branster · 19/01/2026 20:05

Really sad if his comments are true. Even a quarter of all that pressure would be bad enough.
I wonder how will Harper feel in 10-20 years from now. They really do parade the poor girl everywhere and the choices of clothes are often too grown up for her I feel. It is weird how David is constantly holding hands etc, she's not a 5 year old.
I feel sorry for Victoria in a way because she is so far gone into all this public image stuff, it's all quite surreal.

@mumstheword1x
He's still a young man. Not a mature adult in his 30s or 40s.

He’s 26, if he didn’t like it - he could’ve separated himself from
his family at 18 years old, 8 years ago. He liked the rewards his surname got him when that was the finances he sponged off of.

I doubt his heiress wife would’ve looked at him twice if he wasn’t a Beckham, but because he is, he’s now married to a billionaires daughter, someone else’s payroll, let’s now turn on my parents, but still poses as Brooklyn Beckham.

There’s people dying, children dying, in war stricken countries.. and we have people that have NO sense of how hard life can be.

I think it’s classy for him not to bring that up. That’s his parents marriage, his relationship with them is separate.

Although to be completely fair on the Beckhams, I don't know whether his early fame was more a function of the tabloid's obsession with his parents or his parent's desire for fame.

There was a documentary years ago about them and they visited a tabloid HQ. The editor said if it’s a slow news day etc we put you (doing anything) on the front. Victoria was thrilled, I was only a teen and thought that was my idea of a nightmare!
