to seriously dislike Victoria Beckham?

[whitesklyer]

I've been thinking about it lately and don't know why. I don't think its jealousy. maybe its because she is getting away with it, and has had unbelievable luck in life with the "singing" and "designing" She is probably nice enough in RL but her pouting and posing just grate.

Gwent Paltrow, now that is someone who doesn't pimp out her children.

Obviously it's jealousy, why are you trying to pretend that it isn't?

I think she seems OK. Obviously incredibly rich, and lives in a different world from most of us and will have a hard business head but that's not a crime. I agree, I credit her for not just being content to be "ex-popstrel footballer's wife" and instead has made serious headway in a completely new career. OK you might think fashion is vacuous or whatever but it's a design/business career like any other, and she's good at it.

I agree with the suggestion about lacking contentment.

My mum is so incredibly bitter about people who have done well for themselves. Especially if in her eyes there is an element of luck involved.

I like to see people doing well for themselves and being happy generally!

you are being very unreasonable.

She gets a lot of stick from the media. Her husband, is revered like a hero. I don't see how playing football is so much more worthy than singing in a band or designing clothes.

I also credit her for not moulding herself to be a footballer's wife. She has a good business head and she made her own way. None of what she's achieved has been at the expense of her family!

She's a good role model in that she's got a career of her own rather than let her husband pay for everything.

The only dislike I have is all the pouting rather than smiling, it's silly. And maybe the multiple pregnancies which only stopped when a girl same along but they could just be coincidence.

Where's the OP gone. Have they exploded with rage/jealousy/unreasonableness?

Aw howtorebuild ta

How does she "pimp out the children?" Genuinely baffled by this.

I've also met her and she's really, really charming, funny and down to earth.

Sour grapes OP?

Don't know the woman, have no idea what's she's like so have no opinion of her either way.

What I do wonder though, is what is mean't by 'pimping out her children'? What does she do with them, are they in advertisements, or does she hang them over balconies like Michael Jackson for press photographers? That's a genuine question as I don't read tabloid newspapers, buy magazines or watch daytime TV.

Being in the public eye would be fairly normal for such a high profile family, surely.

I thought 'pimping out' was what pimps did with prostitutes. Odd expression to use about how a woman and her children.

Perhaps the op has spontaneously combusted?
I'm not really a fan of VB, but to say I 'dislike' her, well I don't know her.

She has always been my favourite Spice Girl.

Dark hair, dark eyes, pixie haircut.

That's nice Made

I don't think its jealousy.

No, it's envy actually.

Exploitation of the children and their rights to a private family life, for financial gain of the parents.

I think she's great. She has a very substantial career, a sense of humour, a million kids and an ornamental husband.

She obv. really doesn't like her smile in photos, so she decided to pretty much stop smiling for them. It's not out of bad-temperedness - look at her smiling photos from when she was younger.

For someone in the public eye, she has done a remarkably good job of staying on brand, keeping her children in one piece and staying in control of the situation.

I think she's fabulous. And four U.S. Hardly a huge family, it's not like she can't afford the children.

I bet she's a right laugh in private as well.

Four kids sigh sorry proofread as I posted.

The 'multiple pregnancies that only stopped when a girl came along' - they've got 4 kids, haven't they? Not exactly Duggar territory.
Yeah, no need to dislike her, OP. Unless you want to start one of those 'irritating celebrity' threads. They're always fun [thigrin]

I don't really have an opinion on her, but I'm always intrigued as to why criticism of VB is verboten on here, but other celebrities (like Keira Knightley for example) is fair game.

Why did I just have an emoticon fail? Lets try again

I don't like her and I'm not at all envious of her.
I don't find her 'posh' (a former colleague once tried to persuade me that VB was genuinely posh - no, she isn't)
I don't find her beautiful. She's easy on the eye and very thin. Too thin and too messed with.
Every photograph with her husband shows her trying to take full advantage of the publicity - including the weird grimace she does with her mouth.
In fact, she disgusts me.
Happily, she doesn't have to give two hoots about what I think!

I don't know anything at all about Keira Knightley.

YABU

the Beckham bashing gets tedious.
