The Peltz-beckams need to build up those followers for the money so let’s keep the feud public for as long as possible.

For instagram

David Beckham 88.5m

Victoria B - 33.4m

Brooklyn 16.5m

Nicola - 3.2M

Wow -this bit really stood out...

They sold everything – mostly, back then, to OK!. Its proprietor, Richard Desmond, wrote in his autobiography about spending what felt like every Friday at Victoria’s parents’ house with the young couple, where they would all “plot and plan the next features we’d do”. A huge cheque was always involved, and the Beckhams wanted the limelight – all of it – so much.

I had no idea they were so instrumental in the press stories about themselves back then. They seem to have sold their souls for fame, and now it’s coming back to haunt them.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 The guardian, never one to publish bullshit… I mean always one to publish bullshit.

A photo from that article. Apparently they’re ‘unknowns’ in this photo… let’s forget that he played for man united and she was a member of the biggest girl band of all time - At the time.

How embarrassing for the ‘newspaper’ fact checkers..

The story was taken from the guys published autobiography - I’m sure if it was actually bullshit, they would have sued him for libel.

Who knows. They weren’t unknowns when that photo was taken.

Having observed the Beckhams relatively closely for years by having children in the same school, it comes as no surprise to me that it has all come out in such an ugly way.

Victoria once accused me of taking her photo in the playground, when I was just holding my phone up and messaging someone whilst standing in her proximity. The fact that she was so narcissistic as to make the assumption that I was photographing her really struck me, as did the irony of how she then proceeded to tell me that ‘she was entitled to her privacy when she was with kids’…whilst at the same time as posting their entire lives all over social media!

Image control is everything to that family. What a superficial, vacuous, stressful and ultimately meaningless existence. I really do feel sorry for the children, who’ve had no choice in how they’ve been brought up or the insanity of the sphere that they’ve been thrust into.

Suzanne Constantine is a very good friend of Elton John’s. (Her autobiography is a good read.) Elt is a good friend of the Beckham’s and is Brooklyn’s godfather. EJ has shown support for Brooklyn before. Back in the summer, when this “feud” was already going on, EJ wished Brooklyn and his wife a happy anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple. It was felt at that time he had picked a side.

Opinion seems divided already so it may actually work out favorably for D&V with BB looking like the spoilt ungrateful child betraying his loving parents who only ever wanted the best for him etc etc etc.

I suspect their spin team will be reading public opinion closely and waiting a bit longer before responding

I expect their spin team are on this forum posting and trying desperately to muddy the waters and recast Brooklyn and his wife as the villain of the piece.
it is quite obvious if you know what to look for. Of course fans of the Beckhams don’t want to admit they’ve been duped for all these years, so are committed to it all being Brooklyns or his wives fault.

Lollylavender · 20/01/2026 14:18

I have a feeling that their spin team is on mumsnet already, trying to influence us!!

I am a bit surprised about the support for D&V. They're the ones who've been endlessly briefing the media about this 'feud.' Brooklyn has stayed quiet up until now. Imagine your own parents throwing you under the bus like that. Must be devastating for the poor lad.

Bruisername · 20/01/2026 14:44

So apparently DB said ‘you have to let your kids make their own mistakes’

Not sure that was the best response!!

it was worse than that I think, althogh he was put on the spot:

"I've been able to use my platform for my following, for UNICEF. And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what's going on around the world for children. And I have tried to do the same with my children, to educate them."
He added: "They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids. You sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well."

Doesnt read well where he applauds himself for the good he has done but talks about his children's mistakes like they are independent from him! You would expect an adult to have a better handle on things than a child, that's where parents come in.

It's a mock up of her album cover, with his face over hers (the album Bloozie was referencing)

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

i would be very very surprised if they did!

If they do it will be because David’s done. I mean his been done for years but done done.

She won’t ever leave him.

Bruisername · 20/01/2026 14:57

I’m not sure there is anything he could do to make him leave!

I think his issue is that without the happy marriage facade he would look a total sleaze

This was in response to a question about social media use on CNBC. It wasn’t directly related to Brooklyn although tbf, I bet this is his response.

Ah ok

Probably would have been better not to mention kids at all

have to say the world economic forum seems to have turned into a real celeb hangout now!!

I never mentioned anything about a photo, I quoted a story taken from Richard Desmonds autobiography, which you somehow claim was ‘bullshit’.

The photo was in the link you posted. The caption to the photo is bullshit. They were not ‘young unknowns’. Sorry you can’t accept that fact.

True, if she was going to leave him she would have done it long ago when the first rumours of affairs came out.

I personally never understood the appeal of DB, he’s got a whiny little girls voice…

He's good looking, athletic, rich and famous. A lot of women won't care what he's got to say.

I love Harry and am in full support of what he's done escaping from Charles the Cruel and the Wicked Hag.

Why are people not more supportive of a guy who lost his mum aged 12 and had to watch while that bloody awful woman took her place? I know loss of a parent at a young age and I know what it is like to lose a parents attention to an outsider. It's bloody awful.

I can imagine. Sorry if you had to go through that !!

Hasn’t he spent a fortune on voice training?

Bruisername · 20/01/2026 15:20

I feel uncomfortable with Katherine Ryan saying ‘your parents are not abusers’ - whatever the situation none of us know what happens behind closed doors and this actually makes it harder for people to open up - and potentially harder for his siblings too

belittling abuse because the family is rich is wrong (I’m not talking about this specific situation but generally - I do k ow someone wealthy who was outraged when social services were involved because the young child said their dad hit them - ‘don’t we give them everything they need!’)
