Brooklyn bloody Beckham though

[trustedadult]

Bloody hell, I'm loving it

..just so I can be vicariously embarrassed as a mum..😂

Maybe his publicity people and their publicity people are putting their own spin on things. I'm certainly not a fan of the parents, but who knows enough to take sides?

A paparazzi photo through a car door is ‘pimping their child out’? I’d be more concerned about the lack of car seat.

Those saying 'social media is not the place for Beckham to air his grievances and it's distasteful etc' Are you not being a tad hypocritical?

Was the public sphere the place to air when he was conceived?

Show him as a newborn?

Was the public sphere the place to flaunt him about as a child? Was that distasteful?

To get his awful nepo-aided book fail of photography and his disastrous attempts at being a chef aired? Was it ok for the ordinary growing pangs of youth and endeavouring to find oneself to be documented all over the press and social media for people to mock?

Was it ok for him to spend his life in front of paparazzi and magazine spreads? Was it ok for his parents to share all that?

But now you have a problem with him sharing intimate family details and consider it distasteful. But it seems it's only because what's being said is now negative for his parents and their brand, and not positive.

It strikes me that the Beckhams very good and even more famous friend, Elton John, keeps his children totally out of public display. In fact I couldn't even tell you what their names are without googling it.

I wouldn’t say someone who turned human babies into a product to be purchased and trafficked, and created with the purpose of removing from their mother at birth, is an example of great parenting.

But hes still a rich playboy living off his wifes rich family..People in glass houses..

You can be concerned about both.

What are the chances the paps happened to be hanging around a theatre on a random Saturday night when the Beckhams happened to be watching an adult show with a toddler? And when they do start clicking away (coincidentally on Brooklyn's side of the car) why is David making no effort to shield him from the flashes? Because Brooklyns picture means column inches. So yes, imo they were pimping him out to the paps

This.

I obviously don't know the ins and outs of the Beckham family rift, but I do think this kids going NC with their families is a thing now. My DD is doing something like this, and while there have been rows and unreasonable behaviour on my part, isn't there in every family? I love and support my DD who has not only turned her back on me but her father for no fault of his and the extended family too. And making terrible choices with no helpful billionaire family picking up the tab.

And this is exactly why I don't understand people giving Harry a hard time. Just because his dad has a fancy title.

I bet he could actually be a teacher. We know nothing about him or his intellect or his exam results. He could be a really nice lad.
He is just the same as someone born into a family business without a choice but was not given a chance to find out what they are actually good or bad at privately, like the rest of us. His whole life has been on show. That’s really embarrassing and I know would cause me huge anxiety.

I hope he finds something he is good at and enjoys and is happy.

I agree- but it was not VB who said it. It was the singer (can’t remember his name). So he’s the one who messed up. Not VB.

Said every abusive parent ever. It is not a trend it is a last resort. Look inside yourself and establish what you have done, then take accountability. All we 'trendsetters' who walk away from abusive families only want one thing - our parents to own up to their faults, not even an apology just an acknowledgement.

The story I heard reported (before yesterday) was that Brooklyn and Nicola had their first dance. Then Nicola had a father/daughter dance with her dad.
Later on in the evening Marc Anthony did a set and it was the first dance to this set that he called up Victoria and Brooklyn for a “first dance”.
I also heard that he called Victoria “the most beautiful woman in the room” which is pretty unforgivable on someone else’s wedding day!
But if this is true, it’s not highjacking the first dance.

In response to those saying BB should just stay off social media if he wants a private life: Well, it is kind of normal for his generation to use social media for general pics of their dogs and Xmas PJs and what not. Plus he needs social media if he wants to launch his food career, his hot sauce brand etc. The trouble is, recently every post he made about the above was filled with followers’ comments telling him to contact his parents and accusing his wife of controlling him. So how could he proceed with anything ? I feel it’s not surprising that he felt driven to issue his statement.

Blimey though, I can’t help feeling a bit sorry for VB with regards to the inappropriate dance. How humiliating for her, even if she deserves it. As a mum, it must feel absolutely dreadful to have people worldwide laughing at you for that. She definitely came off worse in BB’s statement compared to ‘Sir David’.

This. People seem to be skimming past that bit or not processing it

Are you Nicola Peltz?

😂🤣 Yes. Yes, I'm Nicola Peltz because I'm questioning a self professed David cheerleader.

<disclaimer> I'm not really 😁 (although if she's a billionaire or whatever I could do with some of her money lol)
These types of threads are always utterly batshit.

Harry’s dad doesn’t ‘just’ have a fancy title - he has a role embedded in our constitution. Harry also had/has a constitutional role as well as being fourth in line to the throne as he grew up. Harry is a counsellor of state. Plus, unlike the Beckhams, his lifestyle before he went to the US, was paid for by the state though financial arrangement linked to his father’s position (Duchy of Cornwall). He might not have had a choice in that as a child but he was well past childhood by the time he left.

Do you have any evidence that the posters on here AREN’T interested in these other three examples? Or do you just like sounding a bit pompous? And - get this - some people are able to be interested in multiple things. Amazing.

No one seems to mind royal offspring being 'pimped out' within hours of birth...

There’s definitely faults on both sides.
yes the Beckham’s have been pimping him out since birth, but too be fair to them, social media didn’t exist in 1999 and there’s no way they could have predicted how big it would get. Initially it would just have been a few pap shots and magazine spreads.
However once he got to a certain age, Brooklyn could have said no. If you look at the Osbornes, for example, Jack and Kelly consented and are everywhere. There’s at least one other child (Amy?) who didn’t and isn’t ever featured in anything.

It’s well known that David has OCD and I suspect V does as well when you look at things like her diet. So I can imagine they are pretty controlling. But I imagine some of that control is protection, if we give the press something they’ll back off at other times.

It’s just a shame they couldn’t just keep it all private.

A family argument over a wedding dress and some vying for the spotlight between the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law, which is normal in families, is not the occasion for a public rant against your own parents.

I'm amazed you think it is just that.

I remember when V&D first met, and they were pimping out their firstborn shamelessly. I remember thinking FFS, this is ridiculous. Then child after child the same.

I think his post was particularly hurtful, we don't know the whole story, but I have said for decades now, V&D should not be exposing their kids like this for clicks, money, PR. I'm not surprised he has hit out. You reap what you sow.

They have always been fabulously rich, as a PP said, they could have done all this without creating 'Brand Beckham' but it was the pursuit of just more and more they couldn't resist, and they had passive little people to enrich that - their children.

So now he should delete all his social media, if it was all so abhorrent and he suffered so much, but he won't as he will now be getting even more clicks and likes. He has millions of followers because of his parents, so since he hates them so much and now humiliated them he should do the honorable thing and fuck off, to make sure none of his kids are involved in the media circus either. If he does I wish him all the best. As it is he is just creating more publicity for himself. Brand Peltz-Beckham.

Personally I’d rather comment on this issue atm than other actually relevant to our lives issues. This is light relief for most people. Sadly not for them but there they are.

I have. We have taken multiple steps, me in particular, to address the issues, without going into details. But going NC is not going to heal anything.

Why isn’t in a car seat or even have a seat belt on?
