AIBU?

To think Victoria Beckham really has it all? Baby Harper is too adorable for words

including her other kids.

I don't know if it's pretty shallow (but I like fancy stuff Grin) but I can't see many women refusing her life and wardrobe. I could do without the fame - have no interest in that at all.

VB has managed to:

  • Stay thin (something a lot of women would kill for)
  • All her children, esp Harper are adorable. No dodgy looking kids for her brood
  • So much money. Never ever has to worry about providing for her kids
  • She's attractive
  • Her Husband is pretty cool.
  • She has family support


She must know she has a pretty enviable life!

She makes having a family SO attractive. On the streets, I just see harassed parents.

@Sparklingbrook

Why do VB threads always go really odd? Anyone who doesn't have lovely things to say gets accused of being envious, and get flamed. I don't get it.


No one had reported. I saw this and was rather agreeing that's all.

Oh right. Thanks OliviaMN. I was wondering. Smile VB threads do go a bit pear shaped generally.

Well, she has had two - two!- world-class careers. OK, the solo singing bit wasn't all that, but come on, the Spice Girls were pretty big. Her achievements on that front are quite impressive.

She seems like a good Mum.

She has a fabulous wardrobe.

Her children are nice looking, if that is important. I had a DD a few months before Harper was born and she is a peaches-and-cream doe-eyed, ringletted mass, and as such Harper's cuteness hasn't really registered on my radar. Having said that, it doesn't really count a load of Mums coming on to say their children are cuter - we would say that! Grin Put 'em up for scrutiny by the ruthless disinterested public - as we are, commenting on her kids - and see what the reaction is...

As for lots of Mumsnetters putting up with cheating husbands and taking them back, just like VB. None of us have Brand to think about, do we? Any MNers patching their marriages up are doing so because both parties presumably want to, not because they have to.

Rather than having a shared, mutual interest in working through troubles together purely for the benefit of the relationship and the family, Victoria has traditionally had a HUGE vested interest in maintaining the Brand Bechkam image. If the family disintegrates, so does the brand, and therefore so does the income and the root cause of their fame.

However, now that her star is back on the rise and his on the wain, it will be interesting to see how things pan out. Something tells me she won't be behaving like him and having a load of shady encounters. Whereas he will probably only have more. Lots more, to feed his ego.

There's lots about her lifestyle that is arguably enviable. But a lot that absolutely isn't as well.

How do you know DB is unfaithful. I believe he did the dirty with Rebecca Loos but what makes you think he's still cheating?

Why wouldn't he? If Victoria turned a blind eye before what incentive would he have to stop cheating on her?

AnyFucker · 06/05/2013 22:21

There have been other rumours about DB and OW than Rebecca Loos

Going off previous behaviour, I would be inclined to believe them if I were Victorua

But I'm not, so it is neither here nor there

Yeah, there was the page 3 model when she was pregnant with their first baby, it might have even been before they were married.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rumours about him and TC are true too.

Yes, iirc there was a nanny and their spray tan person.

And those are the ones we know about.

I felt very sorry for Victoria, after reading this. Afaik they never sued the nanny for telling her story, which suggests it's true.

Great craic reading this thread!!
I remember seeing photos of Vicky recently, from back in the day when she started seeing Dave, OMG the chins on her, she was well podgy!! She has started starving herself since seeing these this I would say. Plus dealing with a cheating DH, all adds up to zero self esteem. AnyFucker wandering dick heh heh! Disgusting Dick Dave heh heh.
Someone needs to tell Vicky that all the money in the world does not make up for a cheating DH. Although going by her grimace she has cottoned on...

She does seem to have it all but has had some awful press over the years,just really vile awful things said about her. For example,she must be the only woman in the public eye who,when her husband "cheated",people said it was her fault! I don't envy her the very public bullying she has endured.

Aside from the money which is very enviable I can't say there's much about her that I admire. Much prefer to admire Marie Curie types.

The one thing you do have to give her credit for is her sheer discipline and she has that in bucket loads. The discipline to always prepare for the cameras, to ensure she is always turned out, to take advantage of every PR opportunity, to keep up the fromt. The discipline to keep the brand going, the self discipline not to eat. You can't say this woman doesn't try! It would exhaust me!

She really does work hard. Shame it's a lot of energy that seems somewhat misdirected!

Oh dear at the irony of people accusing a wildly successful couple of being 'thick as ' in a disastrously-written post...

But they are indeed sadly as thick as shit. Actually make that shallow as shit as well Grin

I quite like Posh, I certainly don't think she's thick either. Though DB's voice annoys the hell out of me and yes he does sound stupid.

I have to say though (and I'm probably breaking a MN rule here) that I think Harper definitely isn't the cutest thing I've ever seen. At all. Sorry.

I would never want to be a woman, any woman, rich or poor, fat or thin who has that little respect for herself that she would put up with her husband shagging someone else.

I think her baby girl looks rather ordinary like any other baby girl to be honest. I wouldn't say she is any more cute than any other random kid.

(in addition to being just like her mum, in the sense that I don't think she has ever been caught smiling)

They have worked pretty hard to achieve high goals in an area they were passionate about. Not bad for a "thick" pair. What's not commendable about that work ethos?

I just can't understand the loathing and how it spills over to comments on the children.

MariefromStMoritz · 07/05/2013 03:43

She is a very talented designer (if I had the money I would wear head-to-toe VB) and she is a great mum. I read a couple of weeks ago that she practices times tables and spellings with her kids every morning and have now started doing that with DS Blush

I really don't understand why people are so nasty about her. Everyone claims they are not jealous of her, but then why be so spiteful?
