Brooklyn bloody Beckham though

[trustedadult]

Bloody hell, I'm loving it

Well, technically it should be Lady Victoria.

They seem to get it right with Mrs Starmer.

In 2022 David Beckham sold a majority stake in his company to a brand management company.

Perhaps they don't even really own their own brand, and have contractual obligations that include the whole family?

I also think it’s interesting that without going nuclear on his family, then there would be no news or nothing much to say about Brooklyn, it almost feels like a way to get more well known.

I’ll assume they will now drop the Beckham name and live a private life off Instagram (of course not!)

Monetizing your children as part of your brand extension should probably be considered child abuse.

Rumours have been around for years about VB's supposed drinking problem and DB's supposed philandering. I'm guessing that's what their son is alluding to, with regard to inauthentic relationships?

Exactly! I've been up all for the last three nights glued to YT. Watching every news pundit, historian and geopolitical analyst breaking down the situation with Greenland/NATO and Venezuela. I never knew so much about heavy crude oil and can't sleep for the anxiety the entire spectre of the NATO alliance is giving me. I'm perfectly capable of thinking about more than one thing at a time.

Rebecca loos has (kind of) responded:

Replying to one fan who suggested she may 'feel a source of extra validation' at reading Brooklyn's words, Rebecca wrote: 'So happy he is standing up for himself and speaking publicly finally!!!! I have felt so bad for his poor wife, knowing too well what they can be like!

I do wonder if he's chosen to do this now as there is maybe more to protect in his imminent future.

I hate speculating on if a woman in pregnant and I'm not doing so for any reason based on appearance, etc. But can you imagine how lucrative the first Beckham grandchild will be to the family. Perhaps Brooklyn has an additional reason he wants to make his stance painfully clear.

She's so thin she's probably hammered after two glasses of wine anyway. Nothing to soak it up!

ah...... welll.......... suppose we've all been there - just without the paps

I wonder if he’ll (ghost) write a tell all book.

Do you have a child who doesn’t speak to you?

There’s are load of photos when Brooklyn is being used as a human Crutch while his off her head mum looks like she’s trying to slow dance with him.

I remember when Brooklyn was born. DB was interviewed straight after the birth and he said something along the lines of “the media will be wanting to know what his first car is when he grows up”. I thought well 1) what makes you think you’ll still be of interest to the public in 18 years and 2) so he’s hoping to get the kid in the public eye

No matter what, he’s the child and V&D are the parents

how have they pushed their baby away like this! They’re greedy, foolish, money driven fools

Loads are there? Because it looks like Baby Beckham lied about the dance and about the wedding dress (although anyone who really believed you can get a bespoke Valentino dress "last minute" needs their head looking at).

Had they wanted to, they could have shielded these kids from the public eye. Instead they have monetised brand beckham

they have raised them as if they’re royals

When he says cancelled at eleventh hour he means they were just arranging to meet up to start the process when she pulled out. So he didn’t mean right before the wedding

and as for the vogue story debunking his - I imagine the vogue story was very PR heavy. I can’t imagine would have lied in his statement - but this is a situation where interpretations will vary

And he wouldn't be making an income via those channels or to that degree without his parents and the fame that afforded him.

I read pointless celeb news as escapism from the fact we are being herding like cattle into war.

Without the class

I too wonder if there is an offspring on the way, surrogacy is the new ‘we’re pregnant’ and it wouldn’t surprise me if Nicola went down that route.

Wow!

When the woman who had an affair with your Dad is publicly validating you more than your own parents and feels sorry for you, then it's bad.

I have zero family because they either sided with my mother or actively helped her in her smear campaign against me. My son has no family for the same reason. It was just us at christmas and well, every other occasion. The peace much outweighs any lonliness.

Dave Beckham is too busy to release any statement. He is attending the World Economic Forum in Davos. Like you do.
