Brooklyn bloody Beckham though

[trustedadult]

Bloody hell, I'm loving it

The irony is off the scale.

They've put their kids on social media so it's fine for him to write speeches on social media of private discussions. Isn't it all a bit kettle and pot?

First of all there is no way I think Brooklyn wrote that himself.

Just like Megan and Harry's Oprah interview (where at least 17 statements they made-such as the poor Archbishop marrying them in the garden-have been proven not to be true) Brooklyn says exactly what he wants and the media are running with it. No verification required and it's all over the papers in multiple articles. It is his version-doesn't have to be true as it is a great headline.

There are always 3 sides to a story, theirs, his and the truth.

The stylist from their wedding has already come out to say the wedding dress was a year in the making. I seem to remember they sacked 3 wedding planners and they are being sued etc so not a smooth run up to the big day.

Do I agree with the Beckhams (Brand Beckham) posting so much of their kids-not really.
Do I think Brooklyn is being entitled-didn't mind using his famous name repeatedly for all of his ventures-books, cooking shows etc etc yes I do.

I am concerned that he has also cut off all of his friends-some of whom have been friends since childhood and his siblings as well and is fairly isolated in America and now susceptible to other strong influences...

Has he gone from the frying pan to the fire???

I went NC after I was married.
It took me until then to realise the difference between being loved unconditionally (by my husband) and the “love” I received from my family. My husband gave me the strength and clarity I needed.
He also offered a safety net. It’s terrifying going NC with your parents. It’s all you ever known and if they don’t care about you that much, how much worse will the people out there be?

Your rhetoric is no different to “Why doesn’t she just leave him?”

Abuse changes how your brain works. Even if you know you’re being abused, sometimes the alternative can be even scarier. There are lots of studies and research on why victims don’t immediately leave. I would suggest you both look into it if it’s a point of interest for you.

Brooklyn and Nicola seem genuinely in love and more natural as a couple. For me that’s the difference. Good luck to them and hoping VB/DB leave them alone now. Suspect the brothers will inflame it though.

Well said. I also didn't manage to go NC until I'd been married for 5 years and had a 7 year old; I'd normalised how they treated me and ignored DH when he was trying to tell me. It was only when it started affecting DD that I woke up and removed us all from the situation.

I don’t think his marriage to Nicola-whatever her name is-multi-millionaire lady will last 5 minutes and I’m pretty sure there will be a pre-nup involved. Where will boy Beckham be then? I imagine it’s 6 of one and half a dozen of the other regarding what has gone on between families and the truth will lie somewhere in between. As it is, who really cares? Apart from the Meghan haters who like to froth about everything.

Thr thing is people who are being controlled and pushed to be estranged from their family never see it.
So yes the dance, weird, the many gripes all possibly valid but someone is stirring the pot.

He's clearly an emotionally damaged man and I think therapy would be a better way forward than social media rants.

Why on Earth do people bother with this manufactured crisis nonsense?

I can see all the Beckhams, sat on the sofa in the evenings, laughing at all the braindeads debating who is right and who is wrong and they don't even know the Beckhams, all whilst coining it in from clickbate ads.

I think there is real pain in BB’s statement - it has the ring of truth.

I think it’s psychologically normal for someone to feel ‘safe’ to detach from parents when they marry. It’s not fair to say that Brooklyn ‘should’ have cut off his parents before he met his wife if it was so awful etc. 1) his parents’ behaviour towards his wife seems to be a significant factor; 2) being in a close relationship with someone who treats you differently from your own family can really shine a light on things; 3) he may be afraid of his parents and need support to stand up to them. He’s only gone for the nuclear option after trying other ways to detach.

I find it fascinating that you would see him as the issue not his parents. He had no choice but be famous, as did Harry. Forced into the public eye as a baby.
No decent role models. Fathers very publically had affairs. Their families making up the family narrative for the press.
It must be stifling.
I have older teens/young adults and theyve had failed attempts at careers and love, taken drugs,been fired made mistakes as have many of their friends. I've helped them navigate this and its ben tough on them.

But if your parents are the royal family, all the beckhams, you would get such shit advice, and that is advice would all be about protecting "the family" not you. It has all played out in public with gossip hungry, on empathetic, people willing you to fail, baying at your door. Making judgements and posting shit like this thread everywhere. It like modern day stoning.

I do judge but it's people like you, not some fucked up rich kids who had no choice to be famous.

Brooklyn is putting a statement out on social media because he knows that this is the most hurtful way to deal with this. Two wrongs don't make a right, of course. However, he knows that 'Brand Beckham' is everything to his parents so by making it public he knows it will harm them.

There is no going back from this though. Brooklyn has burned his bridges by doing this.

Most of the US successful society, celebrities and politicians were linked to Epstein. It doesn’t mean they were all pedophiles. However, what you said makes sense. It is hard to find a sensible reason as to why they would sabotage the wedding and relationship this way. The name business and all that.

Most children of abusive families do this - over explain, try desperately to get their side across. They already have no family support so they may want support of others and to just for once be heard. Sadly with his family social media is the only way if his parents are refusing to adhere to boundaries set in place.

I don’t understand this need to air all in public, really unnecessary. If he’d married a woman who had a regular job with an average income he’d never have cut off his parents, when they get divorced we’ll see how much he needs his awful parents then. Another Harry & Meghan. No class and no decorum.

Whilst VB is reported as saying her atelier didn’t have time, it was hardly 11th hour. There was an interview in Vogue where Nicola discusses a year long process with Valentino including 2 trips to Rome and numerous fittings in the US.

when you lie about one thing, unfortunately it calls everything else into question whether or not it’s true.

tbf it sounds like a fairly fucked up situation but Brooklyn is an entitled shit who was happy to bank in on his name before he won literal bank when he married Nicola 🤷‍♀️

David Beckham was a talented footballer with the looks to attract a lot of attention and develop a celebrity brand. Victoria was a manufactured pop singer in a girls band. Not the same level of talent. They are these days famous for being famous - they communicate what a certain large segment of the population find compelling but it's vacuous and self-serving. Growing up as their children, constantly served up to the press in pursuit of family brand fame, is not a recipe for balanced happy adulthood.

You sound very naive. Like it or not, this is major news that is damaging to the brand. This is on a whole other level compared to previous scandals.

'when you lie about one thing, unfortunately it calls everything else into question whether or not it’s true.'

Exactly it's the Sussexes all over again. What next an Oprah moan and a Netflix reality show? Ugh silly man complains about over exposure in the media by gossiping about others to the media.

Me too

My sympathies lie with Brooklyn.

I’ve long thought David and Victoria’s parenting was questionable at best. If they’d been effective parents, their children might have made meaningful use of the extraordinary opportunities afforded to them and built genuine careers, rather than drifting aimlessly through the vapid celebrity ecosystem.

And his confirmation that she’s something of a bitch is not remotely surprising.

Although Victoria has proved herself in fashion. Done the hard yards and come out on top.

The daily mail have moved on from Harry and Meghan to this saga.
The thread below is hi lighting the problems with our NHS , this is far more worrying and important than some very rich people having a public fall out.

Geez, I hope that response is parody. 'Major news', 'brand', 'previous scandals'.

Its a family squabble (if it is even 'real') that has zero impact on anyone outside that family.

It pales into insignificance compared to the right ding-dong that went on at number 8 at the weekend.
