well I came to mn thinking come on somebody must have started a thread on this one. Makes my awful family dynamics feel a lot more normal anyway so there’s that

trustedadult · 19/01/2026 21:36

Yeah, but limited sympathy

I, probably unfairly, take assurances of seeing the presentation of Team Beckham perfection punctuated by the visible dispute going on. A reminder that no family is perfect and we all have fall outs and flaws.

I believe him, really feel for them both. Nicola has had to put up with horrible attacks on her character. And the bits about the wedding are awful, it brings out the worst in people. I remember at the time it was all over the press that VB was snubbed as she wasn’t wearing her wedding dress, very disappointing that it was the other way around. So sad that image managing has made them turn on their child.

NetflixWithoutFriendsIsWrong · 19/01/2026 22:05

I personally wouldn't be surprised if D and V divorce in the not so distant future.

sharkyroy · 19/01/2026 22:21

You are loving it? How odd.

This is my opinion on the statement, on a thread about this topic, it’s a shame you chose to be unkind

Endofyear · 19/01/2026 23:16

Loving it? I think it's sad to see a family breakdown in full view of the public. I suspect that there has probably been fault on both sides but it's a shame it couldn't all be kept private. The press are like a bunch of sharks in a feeding frenzy, it's pretty distasteful 😕

TheLadyWithoutTheLamp · 19/01/2026 23:31

I've read his whole IG story statement

Assuming only 60% is factual and knowing how he and his siblings were/are used as high profile money makers by D and V over the years.....I'm Team Brooklyn, now.

Charlize43 · 19/01/2026 23:51

It is a shame it won't be a good opportunity for everyone in the media to discuss the damage that celebrity parents do to their children by treating them as accessories of themselves and parading them like show ponies for the media.

Then they could turn the lens on the Influencer culture and all those z listers who have monetised their babies/kids and are using them online for likes & for cash.

We could have like a MeToo moment but for abused kids of celebrities and z listers and get it out in the open.

Lastly, maybe some laws could be passed to protect the privacy of children online until they are old enough to give consent.

I wasn't bring unkind , I meant no-one knows what's gone on. I thought he had said previously that they were going to have a VB dress but the dressmaker wouldn't be able to deliver on time so they went with an alternative. Who is to say that she didn't ditch VB or kept changing her mind on What she wanted etc

There are always two sides

NewGirlInTown · 20/01/2026 00:37

He is awful to put this into the public domain. What a loser. Does he have a job yet? His wife wouldn’t have looked at him twice if his name wasn’t Beckham.
He reminds me of that little shit Harry.

Justdancevance · 20/01/2026 00:49

His parents happily put everything about him
into the public domain, from when and where he was conceived.

He asked to he left alone and was ignored, the Beckham PR was spinning earlier today that he was desperate to make up with them

I think it’s a shame that when people are starting to realise their families and upbringing was toxic and they decide to put boundaries in place, you mock them.

Of course there are two sides to every story, but just because one side appear more put together, doesn’t mean they are the more “normal” ones.

LunaDeBallona · 20/01/2026 01:00

How sharper than a serpents tooth it is to have a thankless child,

I might have a modicum of respect for Brooklyn if he hadn’t married the daughter of a billionaire before dumping on his parents, thus ensuring his lifestyle remains unaffected without having to work.
If it was that bad why didn’t he leave them & the money before marrying??

The things he has written are dreadful - and thrown in some poor puppies/dogs too for extra measure to try and paint his mother in a terrible light,

He wants privacy - yet goes into such a nasty tirade that is designed to humiliate and hurt- yet posts his crappy TikTok style ‘cooking’ reels and multiple pictures of himself &his wife. Hardly the actions of somone who isn’t using social media. Whatever they have said -this is 10000 times worse,
The sheer hypocrisy-I can smell it here.
He is entitled and the worst example of a nepo child.

Before jumping on the ‘poor Brooklyn’ bandwagon read what Yolanda Hadid has to say about Nicola Peltz,
Ive got no doubt Brooklyn was controlled by his parents but unfortunately he is too dim to see he just has a new puppet master.

He has never worked a day in his life - he has zero idea of normal life.

I feel really sorry for David & Victoria who have always loved their children & seemed to be a loyal loving family.
“Man born into rich family marries an older American ‘actress’nobody has ever heard of then ends up moving to California and cutting off his whole family” - sounds familiar n’est pas?

It will all end in tears. Whose remains to be seen.

TooBigForMyBoots · 20/01/2026 01:09

Its a welcome distraction from Trump's carnage upon the world. Who knew Brooklyn Beckham would ever be that useful?😆

I wish him and his wife well.✨️

SixSevens · 20/01/2026 01:11

C’mon… 18 posts in and NOBODY has posted the elephant pic?!? For shame!

76evie · 20/01/2026 01:20

All those slating Brooklyn and not believing him, must have forgotten why David took so long to get his knighthood! Them leaked emails! I don’t think he is as good a guy as everyone makes out. I feel for Brooklyn, people complain he has gone from one career/job to another but at least he is trying to forge a path and not just be a rich party boy living off his parents. I can well believe VB was jealous of Nicola, there is so many pics out there of VB draped over Brooklyn 🤮 so she was never going to like him falling in love and having to share him with his own little family.

TawnyVowel · 20/01/2026 01:32

We don’t know it was the other way around… maybe that’s just “his” truth… a bit like meghan’s BS, or the Kate and the tights incident. He banks on them not clapping back so wants to get the first word in, feels suspiciously similar in my view. I don’t like it? Keep your arguments to yourself, why make this public.

And it’s hardly like her family are normal down to earth people is it.

ThereAreOnlyShadesOfGrey · 20/01/2026 01:35

The whole NC culture has become such a trend.

It’s trendy to be seen to be distancing oneself from one’s family.

Let’s all have a not so private family row…

The hilarity of using the words “privacy” and “16 million followers” in one sentence is not lost.

He’s loving this.

If he didn’t want to be a brand, if he didn’t want the lifestyle he wouldn’t have become an influencer he would have got himself a real job and the billionaire wouldn’t have looked at him twice.

And renewing vows after 5 minutes? Please.

0 sympathy. It’s pathetic all of it.

knitnerd90 · 20/01/2026 01:39

Nobody in this story is terribly admirable.

That said, I prefer his statement to all the nonsense about how Nicola must be a controlling bitch who alienated him from his family. What a load of woman blaming nonsense. At least his statement says he's made choices and he's owning it.

I agree.
Recollections may vary.

BeanQuisine · 20/01/2026 02:17

Ever since coming across a Daily Mail article about Victoria Beckham's ear wax, I've never understood the fascination with this drab little family.

They're treated like a working class equivalent of the so-called royal family, but if anything are even less worthy of such lavish attention.
