Who knows - with all these very confusing names we are either in a Roman political drama or the simpsons (Nelson as well fits that one)

we just need a Frank Spencer to get the full mood board

@Bruisername agree its like that old guy Ritchie film with fat tony to boot.

Re neslon I can quite believe it. She's his youngest daughter out of all those sons and sweet as he seems to be I imagine men like neslon don't rate being sweet very highly !

so fat tony has expanded on his description of the dance

a very romantic song and BB had his hands on his mums waist and her arms were round his neck. I can see how that could be quite uncomfortable but also sounds like she may have been wasted!!!

I mean I’m a typical uptight Brit and I would only dance with my DH like that but recognise that’s just me. But it’s kind of sad if she couldn’t recognise that it made her DS uncomfortable. sad all round really

also, whilst I’m sure NP can be a nightmare, I’m not sure Yolanda hadid is the best person to listen to! Now there is a family where the kids being encouraged to go NC wouldn’t be the worst thing!!

I agree that Yolanda Hadid seems a little cuckoo but Anwar’s sister has also come out to say NP has been trying to get famous for the past decade so his family is definitely not a fan. So far, I’ve not seen one person share a positive story about NP.

We’re a deeply unserious nation making a 25 year old VB song the biggest seller in the UK this week but I can’t help but smile at NP sitting at home absolutely fuming at the support VB’s getting lol.

Has Fat Tony said that Marc Anthony deliberately messed up the agreed schedule by calling up BB and then VB?

If they had wedding planners etc surely every minute would be nailed down with military precision - and who would dare to deviate? Maybe for a dare?

Also think FT account is not the same as husbands account ? As the husband said the BB and VB dance came way down the line after BB / NP and NP/NP?

Nelson sacked a second set of wedding planners a few weeks before the ceremony which resulted in a lawsuit, so not sure if they had any leading up to the wedding day. In a countersuit, the planners claimed all the disorganisation came from the Peltz’s side and they were asked to hide these issues from the Beckhams. Nelson wanted to cancel the whole thing but her mother said ‘it’d ruin NP’s career’ which tells you everything you need to know.

Mark A was the evening entertainment so this was definitely not BB & NP’s first dance, which was photographed and well documented in the Vogue coverage of rhe wedding.

Bruisername · 23/01/2026 23:46

I think the hadids are deeply dysfunctional so wouldn’t put any store by anything they say tbh. As for the wedding, it’s not unusual for the brides family to take control so I don’t know why the beckhams would have to be informed of anything. But yes, nothing nice seems to be coming out about NP. BB seems to have been forgotten in all this!!!

the British public lining the beckhams pockets some more 🙄. Slow hand clap.

We can try and dismiss every negative account that comes out about her but when she seems to have fallen out with everyone from her hair stylist, nanny and multiple wedding planners to Selena Gomez, the Hadids and now the Beckhams, at some point the problem might be her.

D&V weren’t demanding to be informed about the plans; the Peltz family kept changing every detail and NP’s mum made the planners promise to keep this from the Beckhams because their side was sorted and the Peltz’ were embarrassed. This is all documented in the lawsuit which was eventually settled. The planners actually remarked that BB was a total gentleman.

I’m glad that despite attempts to smear and humiliate her, she can see that the public are largely behind her. They could never make me hate Posh Spice ✌️😂

Bruisername · 24/01/2026 00:58

Oh I don’t doubt NP is an unpleasant fame hunter

i also don’t doubt the same about the beckhams

its BB I feel sorry for tbh

How lovely for you. But here’s some groundbreaking news: most of the public couldn’t give the shiniest of shits about her or her husband.

Oh I could quite easily hate posh. Never liked her. Speak for yourself!

In that Vogue article photo Brooklyn looks like he’s helping his drunken wife stagger along the beach!

The Hadids accusing someone else of a desparation to be famous is jaw dropping.

Maidenjourney · 24/01/2026 08:07

All of them seem like pretty appalling people really. What a way to live your life. So shallow and self seeking.

Downbythelac · 24/01/2026 09:19

I have to ask, what was Marc Antony on to think and say VB is the most beautiful person anywhere !!

Her mouth is totally disfigured with the lip fillers, looks like she has been punched slap bang in the mouth, and her cheeks are like mini balloons thanks to the fat transfer or fillers, she is not even attractive anymore, never mind beautiful.

Was he purposely trying to get a rise out of Nicola and her mother ? Nicola's mother has some great cosmetic work done and looks amazing (at least in the few photos shown of her).

I agree. No one seems to have called him out on this. Who says that at someone elses wedding? None of them seem to be the 'jokey' or self depreciating type when it comes to their looks. Very stupid thing to say.

Recollections do indeed vary and change when people decide on a different narrative after the event.

Lol Im not sure David has 'treated his missus like gold'!
What a revelation- Vogue and Hello Magazine have the same writers!

Yes this is where I am I think.

BB reputation has always been as a simple, sensitive, gentle guy.

I expect he was emotionally overwhelmed and also parentified by the toxic shit he had to deal with throughout his childhood with DB slagging around and VB’s long term MH issues and her understandably deep distress despite trying to fake it all with her vulnerable DCs dragged on to the global stage. The oldest child is often the front line absorber for this family shit.

Likely BB spent his childhood trying to soothe his mother and seemingly has just walked in to a similarly charged dynamic with the sulky dissatisfied NP. But that’s all he knows and where he gets his identity and self worth. The whole lot of them could do with some therapy and reflection.

Bruisername · 24/01/2026 10:16

I think a big issue with these mega wealthy celeb kids is that they don’t understand how spoilt they are. I also don’t believe that you should ever expect your kids to be grateful to you or think they owe you something tbh.

and people are weird - I don’t know if you’ve seen Becca Bloom on insta but people are so sycophantic over her showing off her wealthy lifestyle and it’s so odd!!!

VB’s long term mental health issues? I know she’s talked about disordered eating in the past. Has she got other mental health issues?

Not sure what public opinion survey you’ve collected your info from but considering this has trended worldwide on social media for the past week, there are about 100 Beckham threads on here alone (with this one at nearly 1000 replies) and VB streams are up 19000% on the previous week, I think the public care just a little bit.

nicepotoftea · 24/01/2026 12:10

People have obviously commented on this thread about the distress that leads to going no contact, but I think for most people the drama is just a welcome lighthearted distraction from the news and general doom and gloom. It's relatable (arguments over weddings are so common) and glamorous and while money doesn't shield the protagonists from all life's ills, it shields them from a lot.

I would not want to spend my life under the media spotlight, but if people cared about the moral implications of the Beckham brand it wouldn't have any value.

Yes eating disorders are classed as psychiatric disorders in both DSM-V and ICD-11 …. with significant mental as well as physical symptoms.

In fact ED have by far the highest mortality rate of any other psychiatric disorder which mean this is a very challenging / overwhelming emotional environment for the whole family system to shoulder.

A parent with MH issues is a well established risk factor taking its toll on compromising the emotional development of children such a family environment.

I think much of the negative press about the Pelz-Beckhams was a result of the wedding planner debacle - but I don't think there was any suggestion that the Beckhams made that public?

About the story, yes. The person I was quoting was talking about liking VB.
