Enjoyed watching the documentary, he was different than I expected him to be, not sure how really, but I have more respect for Victoria now as I think their lives have been about what he wanted/needed mainly
There are rumours of lots of affairs, is this true though as I find that hard to believe, he seemed so obsessed with her

@1month They had physical fights?

Does anyone think VB shows possible signs of autism? I didn’t say it, my mum mentioned it when watching the documentary

How disappointing if he is a serial cheat 😞 Why are they doing the documentary now? They have always seemed quite private people.

You can't be serious... PRIVATE 😂

We have been literally force fed brand Beckham for 20 years.

My DC went to school with one of theirs and unfortunately, an affair DB had (with a staff member) was common knowledge. Felt sorry for the child. Despite the 'nice guy' persona, he is a serial cheater. Maybe VB has her own 'side interests' as well, who could blame her? But definitely, don't fall for the highly curated Netflix image. The affairs are all paid off and he just takes out super-injunctions. He's shameless, considering he has 4 children.

I’ve often heard about affairs and not been sure but this year a very close friend was at a music festival and had an Access All Areas pass. Behind one of the smaller stages, David Beckham was there with a group of friends he and spent most of the time snogging a very attractive much younger woman, not giving a toss who saw him!

Do some people think that working class people can't be wealthy 🤔

No. See the cast of TOWIE.

Folks, to film the "documentary" takes:

A camera team of 2
A sound technician
A lighting technician
A Netflix producer
The Beckham PR machine
Hair and makeup

This is about as "documentary" as the Kardashian's

As does any documentary with set up interviews 🤷🏻‍♀️

And they even make this clear in the edits, we see the set up shots, 'camera rolling' etc at times.

Of course it's a carefully curated piece - but beautifully done & enjoyable to watch. I had zero interest in either of them, liked them both a lot after 2 episodes. Particularly David, he's gorgeous now, something I'm surprised I thought!

RoseandVioletCreams · 06/10/2023 21:08

@stealthninjamum it's hardly a put down is it to get to admit your dad's drove a rolls.

It's more of a subtle boast??

Different if he drove around Robin reliant and she ass trying tp say she's posh?

@CakeInAJar be delusional if you want to. We are all aware that VB can't sing hence her sole career. VB is no Emma Burton...

But she is famous because shes in the Spice Girls! I’d maybe go as far to say worldwide, Spice Girls are better known than David Beckham. They basically dominated the world in the late 90’s.

Her singing voice is irrelevant.

What so great about Emma ‘Burton’ that isn’t great about VB? Let’s face it’s they’re all shit singers except Mel C

@Pumpkinoutfitsgalore I've just always found Victoria snobby, she gives me pompous vibes. People know her because of her husband, it wasn't for him she wouldn't have handbag lines for thousands of pounds.

Had you not heard of the Spice Girls or realised quite how popular they were at the time? She was already a household name when she met him. Infact it's one of the reasons they did meet.

I loved the show and I think it was nice to see more of their personalities, as they’re very private people.

“private” 😂😂😂

alittlecrosseyed · 06/10/2023 21:09

I know of a woman in London (or New York, I forget where she met him) who he tried it on with. They have an arrangement, apparently.

Well, that's concrete evidence, for sure 🙄

London or New York 🤦🏻‍♀️

CakeInAJar · 06/10/2023 21:10

I saw VB in a documentary donkeys years ago and she came across well.
She just has the affliction of having a resting bitch face that’s all

I hate when women are demeaned like this.

Her face is just ... her face. No need to decide it's RBF.

alittlecrosseyed · 06/10/2023 21:12

I met her in London and she had been working in New York 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's true though. She works in pictures in various big fashion magazine.

She declined.

Is this like the people who know a bride and groom getting married in the Harry Potter castle, who had their mortgage paid off by the Beckham’s to cancel their wedding so the Beckham’s could have Brooklyn’s party there 😂😂😂😂

Pumpkinoutfitsgalore · 06/10/2023 21:13

So, they have an open marriage??

It wasn’t an insult (I have one!) but I think people misconstrue it as her being stuck up/a cow etc and all the unjustified insults she gets

The kardashians did not David and Victoria! Lol

Uggtrending · 06/10/2023 21:15

@CakeInAJar it was tongue in cheek about Emma. VB think she's something. She's the only one to release handbags for similar amounts to YSL bags... my point was she isn't anything special and if she was so much "part of the group" why doesn't she decline reunions and not keep in touch with the other spice girls??

Thinks she's a cut abouve the rest that's why.

JustAMinutePleass · 06/10/2023 21:15

I think they’ll only stay together until Harper turns 18.

Yes I read that she doesn’t bother smiling in public anymore, as as soon as a pap sees her not smiling, it’s all over the papers saying how miserable she is.

alittlecrosseyed · 06/10/2023 21:16

Go knows whether the arrangement was true or not. That's what he told her.

Whatever, if you don't believe 🤷🏼‍♀️

I work in the media and there's been rumours about him for years. Kate Moss (heavily hinted by popbitch for years) and some random posh girl rock chick. Lady Mary someone?! The papers always quietly allude to it in articles at the time.
