To feel very sorry for Vicky B

Yes, we don’t know the full story, but so many things being said about the dance story being untrue-they had already had their dance, she’d also danced with her father, Vb was reportedly called onto the stage by her friend, Marc A and was shy to do so. She comes across as a very awkward, sad person, David seems to dislike her and speak down to her. I can imagine she must be devastated and so humiliated by this. No matter the issues, Brooklyn shouldn’t have issued the problems publicly.
I know a lot about issues with Mil’s but my instinct tells me that this could be her and perhaps she has been difficult from the start. She doesn’t have a reputation for being a nice person at all, even before all this and it’s been said there may have been similar situations in the past with an ex of hers.
In comparison, I’ve never seen anyone say a bad word about Vb, the opposite in fact, she seems to have a great relationship with all her other children and the partners, plus a good relationship with Db’s family
She just must feel so devastated and humiliated, your first born that you held in your arms as a baby.

All so sad

What if the mother is toxic? Respect goes both ways and he has been goaded and goaded by the Beckham planted press stories. I don't think this thread the OP started is organic, either. PR teams infiltrate forums like this one all the time.

The Mirror says there's obvious lies from the young couple, like them claiming she left them scrambling to find a dress at the 11th hour, though apparently the bride went for was her first choice and planned it a year in advance...
Remember to judge a man by how he treats his mother! An old lady told me that was the only advice you really need. I'd have dumped my man if he disrespected his mum!
Most of us on here are mums, or considering becoming a mum, so it could be us one day (the wedding dress designing aside!). My kids are little but I would be devastated if they grew up to be like this. And even the best parents sometimes have ungrateful, entitled kids.

So even if your mum has been abusive in whatever way, you shouldn’t “respect” her? Are you for real?

I went no contact with my alcoholic mother after years and years of awful behaviour, as did my 2 siblings. It was the right thing for me to do to protect myself and my own dc!

But what do you think about her face?
I think it looks more like Np is fuming and won’t come close

NP looks like she’s been crying.

Don't these people have enough money that they just can love and support their own family without it being about "the brand" and money and deals. So sad.

I mean, you would say that, wouldn't you? And whether or not you are, the fact remains that PR teams do come on sites like this one.

I've heard of Fat Tony but wouldn't be able to pick him out of a police lineup 😂 and have never heard of his husband. Just googled him and he doesn't seem to be a particular publicity seeking wannabe celeb, so I can't see any reason he'd have to lie about this.

Hard agree, this is a big deal to say this, fat Tony is apparently very much part of the in crowd! I’d never heard of him! 😂🙈

If Marc Anthony called her onto the stage against her wishes, she could have said “Oh no, the first dance should be between the newlyweds” rather than humping her son in front of hundreds of people.

I’m going to take a wild guess it wasn’t humping. I imagine it was a bit of embarrassing draping of arms around his neck.

She does, and Brooklyn trying to keep the peace

I can’t help but believe him 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

double post!

omg Victoria’s face!

To be fair, they both have quite an impressive face on them, I think he’s between a rock and a hard place there.

Not at all, I was responding to a poster who said the same. Ive thought this for quite a long time and have seen it mentioned on here before too

I know next to nothing about them, but the thought did cross my mind. Maybe she's shy, but she can look very socially awkward. I used to battle with bad social anxiety, and while I'm not autistic (AFAIK) the masking and social awkwardness can look similar to an outsider.

Madisnttheword · 20/01/2026 17:35

Absolutely no reason to feel sorry for her

Me too. I always thought he was just a bit of a jumped up twit and still do to some extent! but his statement was quite undramatic and there was something very raw and honest in it that I believe.

I don’t think she comes across as a sad person at all. If you mean the lack of smile, she does it to prevent wrinkles… Awkward perhaps, I think she’s introverted but also think she’s always been hugely ambitious and recognised she would only maintain fame if she married another big name like Beckham. We wouldn’t be talking about her if not, just as we don’t really hear about the other band members.

I believe Brooklyn 100% and feel for him. I can totally imagine her being an awful overbearing MIL. I think she was jealous he married someone from a wealthier family than theirs.

I don’t think she comes across as a sad person at all. If you mean the lack of smile, she does it to prevent wrinkles… Awkward perhaps,

You think a 51 year old woman refusing to smile because it might give her wrinkles is not sad. Seriously?

I think she’s introverted but also think she’s always been hugely ambitious and recognised she would only maintain fame if she married another big name like Beckham.

Introverted people don't seek out fame for its own sake. Quite the opposite.

I think that Victoria looks like she won that battle though!

It’s the line ‘brought his exes around to make him and Nicola uncomfortable’ that struck me

my literal experience with my own estranged mum and step dad, although they brought around bullies to intimidate me - just nasty

it also tracks and seems so true - agree, it’s not dramatic and is quite factual. In this situation, people are often emotional as well, which makes them less believable - he’s given it enough space to speak clearly 🥺😬

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 20/01/2026 17:44

PinkPanther57 · 20/01/2026 17:39

Undramatic?

Yes. He just stated that he was sick of being lied about (whether is is or not is a different story) what all that image obsession was like to grow up in and the impact it's had on him. And listed his side of things like DBs birthday. It didn't read as being particularly dramatic to me 🤷.

That is weird - and it’s the pose from one of her music videos, I’m sure! 😂
