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.

I don't like her either. Based of course on her public persona. She comes over as spoilt, petulant and grabby for money. If that's totally wrong then she needs a new PR person.

Assume this thread will be deleted soon HQ?

She doesn't care - neither do we

Re. Victoria Beckham - I can't bring myself to like anyone as greedy as the Beckhams. So, yes, they do rub me up the wrong way and it certainly isn't anything to do with envy.

What about the rights of the Beckham children?

She completely grates on me.

Everytime I see her touting that baby on her hip in a pair of 5 inch bloody stiletto's it makes me

I can't remember ever seeing any footage or pictures of her actually interacting with her young kids - just parading them from A to B like miniature fashion accessories.

Yabu.

There's never any whiff of scandal about her. She appears to adore her husband, kids and family life.

I like her.

Maybe, you know, she interacts with them when you don't see her in the paper.

Don't you remember Max Clifford kept his clients scandal out of the press?

I've no reason to doubt she's an involved and loving parent but it's the unnecessary exposure of her kids to the media since their birth that I think was unwise.

She never smiles in public

And do we denigrate men for this? No - we don't.

It's only women who are expected to smile all the time. "Cheer up love it might never happen"

Victoria Beckham is as entitled to keep a straight face in public as anyone else.

I don't spend my life grinning just in case some stranger wants to take a picture of me - why should she?

Well Jose Mourinho gets a fair bit of stick for being a smile free zone.

Odd ambassadors, when they show no respect for the rights of their four children to a private family life for sixteen years.

"I don't know why he stays married to her". when he could have meeeee

I agree with others about her and David pushing the kids publicly that makes me feel uncomfortable, in particular I'm thinking about Romeo and the Burberry deal and I wonder if her or her people are now behind all this current Brooklyn stuff. It's the greed and obsession with growing her/their brand that doesn't sit well with me at all.

What Back said

What's being a marionette got to do with what she's achieved? Are you saying you disbelieve? That she wasn't part of an internationally famous band? Or that she hasn't achieved success as a designer?

When a WOMAN pushes for professional and financial success, men say that she is unfeminine, a ball-breaker, a slut, a cunt.

Huh?

Has any of that been said about VB? Who by?

The worst observations that I've heard from people of either gender are that a) she's made the most of minor talent and sometimes b) that she's too thin.

It seems to me that there is some truth in a) and b) is just the kind of generic unkind personal remark that all slebs get subjected to.

I like her and her family. Baffled by the comments about pimping out the children. They don't seem to be thrust into the spotlight at all, though they are going to be public figures whether they like it or not.

As far as I can see, she is very successful with her fashion brand and works hard.

Maybe she just doesn't like her smile in photos.

I've never heard a bad word about her from anyone that's ever met her or spent any time with her

How many front row seats in the Beckham fashion shows, have you seen the Beckham children sit in?
