Beckam Fued

[Suspiciousminds2]

I am curious to know what other mumsneters think of Brooklyn Beckham latest Instagram story, revealing his side of the story. I for one certainly believe everything he has said, and I am slightly unnerved by the hate he is receiving from people and the “you only get one mother” “spoilt brat” “he would be nothing without them!” All true, yes, but it still does not mean that he should be controlled and dominated by his mother, and it still does not mean that it gives them endless rights to continually disrespect his wife. As the DIL who has been the victim of many many lies which have perfectly painted me as the devil, I feel for them, I really do. I have distanced myself from my own MIL but would never dream of telling my husband of keeping away from his parents, yet he does, because believe it or not he has his own mind and is capable of making his own strong decisions. The public opinion that he is being controlled by his wife, yet it was ok for him to be controlled by his mother? “ there were no issues until his wife came into their lives” well no of course there were not, because she was not there for the Bekcham to hate, disrespect and pick on…there was no other woman to threaten Victorias place as Mrs Beckham. Its saf yes that they cannot get on, but from my own personal experience (not theirs I know) we tried and tried and tried, but no apologies, no accountability and my MIL having the emotional maturity of a 2 year old toddler we had exhausted all our options and strength and happiness, and I think this is the case for Brooklyn as well.

I admire your attempt to convince us it's not gossip by defining it as 'giving and asking for people's opinions on the very public matter'. In most situations, I think that's gossip.

I think there are 2 sides to every story especially in families.
I dont now how we can ever know the whole truth of what has happened in this family. I dont think whoever advised Brooklyn to air his multiple grievances publicly has his best interests at heart because it wont resolve anything or resut in the privacy and peace he says he and his wife want. It hard for ordinary people to comprehend the thinking of such extremely wealthy people.Brooklyns rant smacked of the litigation the Peltz family took against the wedding planner .
Multiple grievances many of which seem petty and disputable.
I think this will go on and on and will get more painful,cruel and ugly.
I hope they all get the psychological support they need.

Brooklyn Beckham has every right to share what his parents are like. Why, in this society, is the victim never BELIEVED? This boy was raised into a family who crave publicity and like a lot of victims, it's not until your out of a situation, you know exactly what's going on..

This is exactly my thoughts! Its as if people cannot believe that some parents actually are very controlling, very childish and are completely completely blameless. I must admit I was guilty of this at one point. I knew a girl who wouldn’t’ let her MIL see her children and I thought how horrible, that poor grandmother etc etc… until I met my own MIL and some people just are not emotionally safe. They use anything to control and manipulate and as soon as someone holds them accountable..rather than saying, oh sorry, they just double down and go harder!

To be honest I’m not really bothered, apart from the dance, I’d love to see the dance

Firstly, I don’t think it’s our business. Secondly, he knows his family probably won’t respond so can say anything he likes. And thirdly, there are so many flaws in his story, that it makes me doubt all of it. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. I think I’ll wait for the wedding guests version of some events that Brooklyn speaks of.

YABU to start yet another thread on this subject

I am curious to know what other mumsneters think of Brooklyn Beckham latest Instagram story, revealing his side of the story.

Since you ask, I'm tired of seeing this absolute non-story on the news. I admit it would make an amazing Mumsnet thread, but endless egotistical rambling about being upstaged at a wedding has no place being headline national news. I couldn't give a fuck about the Beckhams or their family politics.

They have made it our business by going public. Of course people are going to gossip.
Celebrity family feuds are meat and drink to the tabloids/instagram/facebook.etc
People involved, the wedding DJ and the dress designers, to name two, have given wildly different accounts as to what actually happened 🤔

It is absolutely ridiculous how it made all the major news channels.

Reminds me of Harry and Meghan and the book.

The dj didn’t come on till 11pm so he’s saying his first dance was not until then. Read Vogue’s article who they sold the wedding to. Their article also contradicts what he’s saying. Brooklyn would have had to sign that article off and just because Brooklyn has put it out there does not make the rest of the family public property. It really isn’t our business whether it’s out there or not

Be interesting to see if Brooklyn becomes team Peltz brand

All families have issues including the Beckhams.
Who cares?
This issue is for them and them alone to solve?
Who has benefited by it been in the public domain? It has only been in the public domain because they are public figures. Would there be this much interest if it was Jo Bloggs who nobody knows?
When we compare this to Prince Harry, who has benefited by him putting dirty washing out in public?
If a solution is to be found to any of this it is done behind closed doors.
But perhaps it has the purpose of promoting the Beckham brand??

1 We only know his (BB) version.
2 This is his version with no evidence to support.
3 His parents will have their version.
4 BB wife will have her version.
5 There is the truth and that can only be established when everyone's version is heard/known.
6 This is not our problem and everyone saying their piece/view on it achieves what?

Touch of Prince Harry about the situation. He has a privileged life and wouldn't have done so if not for the endeavours and fame of his parents, yet instead of dealing with the estrangement privately he has thrown his entire family to the lions. This won't be easy for his siblings either.

What I find reprehensible is the fact that they wanted him to give up his rights to his name! What mother would do that? In my opinion only, I think she’s always had delusions about herself. Of course, they are a 'brand name' now, but to take his rights to his name is disgraceful and sad.

I think Harry is trying to worm his way back in now hes run out of stories about his terrible life living in a castle with servants and 24 hour security 😅

Just because someone is born into privilege, doesn’t make their pain less relevant.

There are multiple threads already

why start another

it feud

Whats the stately homes thread

Agree. It's going to hurt nevertheless.

I think those who have experienced similar from parents or in laws, will understand this. Those who have had unconditional support and an environment of care and not just emotional blackmail, won't understand this and will label BB a spoiled kid.

Personally, I believe it. What they might have said in Vogue or what they published at the time about the dress was probably what they wanted to say to cover any uncomfortable situation, at a time when they were still probably trying to move on and get along. I mean, come on, who hasn't done that and minimised or excused family issues whilst waiting for them to be resolved. I don't see much difference
Once you admit issues "in public", whether that's telling your friends or posting in social media or in a magazine, that's it, the issue is real and there's no way back. People who have experienced these things have also covered them for a while/long time, both because otherwise you have to face the whole thing, and because it can feel like an embarrassment or guilt, since the general population immediately take the side of the mother/parents unless there's a public fallout and witnesses to corroborate each part
This looks like the guy has suddenly seen other family dynamics where people might not be as obsessed about building a brand (because they already are loaded and don't need to) and it might have shocked him to realise that his family dynamics were not healthy and is now turning his back on that. If that's the case, to me, it's normal that he's now posted this, after months of media speculation and asking where he was for his 50th, the Lordship, this other wedding etc

Brooklyn - did your mum actually beat you with a stick. Did your dad beat you with a belt. Were they massively unkind? I do understand the psychological abuse as well as the physical. I guess psychological is tbh just as bad as physical. I had both. I wish you well.

Obviously not suggesting that your mother whacked you with a wooden spoon and your dad thwacked you very badly with the buckle end of a belt. Just saying the psychological damage is just as difficult xx

Sorry bb and np. Although you are billionaires. You deserve happiness. Same as anyone.

I agree, he's behaving like a spoiled brat.
