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

Brooklyn’s comment about the wedding dress echoes so much with what Megan Markle said about Kate making her cry rather than it being the other way around. I wonder if it’s a typical narcissist trait to take the truth and just flip it around to suit?

Nicola has had a terrible reputation throughout the career her dad bought her. I’m sure the Beckham have their own issues though, as do all families.

'She comes across as a very awkward, sad person, David seems to dislike her and speak down to her'

I agree - I feel sorry for her too and I think the endless nastiness about her facial expressions is appalling. Telling a woman what she should be doing with her own face in public is misogynist bullying

I'm not taking sides about the latest revelations because it's none of my business and I don't have all the details. What Brooklyn has shared does not show her in a good light AT ALL. Everything else I had heard about her was really positive - very professional and good to work with, pleasant, funny, hard working. It's a real mess and the vultures are having a field day

Exactly, constantly scrutinised and quite a quiet, shy person in real life, David cheating around and looking at her with disdain and moving away from her whilst she tries to cling onto him. She was bright, bubbly, happy, healthier looking before she settled down with him.
Whatever has gone on, this seems the cruelest way of doing things, the worst thing he could have done to her, his own mother

VB is the most obvious archetypal Boy Mum ever. I can believe all of what Brooklyn has said.

Yes. Multiple sources said she used Brooklyn (as the oldest boy) as a sounding board when DB had his multiple affairs.

I think she's a mug. She should have got out when DB first started publicly shagging around.

I’m sure the majority of celebrities and normal people in fact, sell a fake life in some ways on Sm etc, for your child to do this publicly is vile

chucking your child into the public spotlight all their life is more vile. She's reaped what she's sown. Actions have consequences. She's not immune because she's a mum and neither her or David are immune because the kids had privileged lives. Or do you think emotional abuse and neglect are ok if the child's groomed with lots of big expensive presents along the way?

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 12:03

Coffeeishot · 20/01/2026 11:55

I actually don't think he will care tbh, i think curating a brand that includes your children maybe without their consent will have consequences and i think Brooklyns statement is a consequence, of years of being paraded about and controlled.

You don’t think who will care, DB? Surely he and the siblings will care how much he’s hurt and humiliated his mum?

I’m talking about common narcissistic character traits, clearly.

Figcherry · 20/01/2026 12:03

I've never called either of my dc evil.

I've kept my mouth firmly zipped when I have felt a bit left out by dil.

A mil's job is to let go.
Whatever VB thinks of Nicola Peltz she should keep quiet and foster a good relationship with her dc and their dp's.

The problem is when people have money they get used to being surrounded by yes men.

Kingscallops · 20/01/2026 12:04

I take it nobody has bothered reading today's counter story. He is where he is because he was born into the brand. To publicly make his detailed statement is unforgiveable, no matter what's gone on.

AllIdoistidyup · 20/01/2026 12:04

And what about trying to make him sign over the rights to the Beckham surname? It's his own name!

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 12:05

Coffeeishot · 20/01/2026 11:59

I think he said they had shown up for their things and Nicola had maybe asked for help and yes maybe "influence" and VB said no.

But again who knows if she is in fact a huge b and has been from the start??

Wasn’t it rumoured that at Brooklyn’s wedding there was a shout out to “the most beautiful woman in the room” and VB stood up

😂As if that would be true

I think he's got fed up of them feeding lies to the press. The "source" who said BB didn't go to his dad's birthday party because his brother was bringing BB's ex was the Beckham's PR team. That's what the stuff about "women from his past" was referring to.

Foundress · 20/01/2026 12:07

There were 500 people at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding. Have any of them said what actually happened on the day?

GingerBeverage · 20/01/2026 12:07

Well

The Beckhams aren't much liked on MN so any story slating them will be met with glee. Just a shame it's his own parents in his public firing line.

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 12:06

People who were there said that's how VB was introduced onto the dance floor by Marc Anthony - he made a massive gaffe there.

Yes exactly, it just doesn’t sound right at all.
It’s true, her reputation is apparently as a vile person

You seem obsessed with pointing out she’s his mother….that doesn’t make her a good person or good mother. And giving birth to someone is not the same as raising and nurturing someone.

Its about damn time the world stopped the narrative that children owe their parents everything no matter what sort of childhood they had.

Sincerely someone who is NC with their mother-who is in fact a terrible mother and doesn’t deserve the title.

Hellohelga · 20/01/2026 12:09

I think he’s done a massive prince harry, and lots of people on here have double standards.

user593 · 20/01/2026 12:09

I can’t really understand why people are assuming everything Brooklyn has said is true… I guess people really love to hate on the Beckhams. I know from my own family that people can honestly believe and remember things which don’t have the faintest resemblance of the truth. All or some of what he said might be true, or might not be true - but people just assuming it is?

I think she's a mug. She should have got out when DB first started publicly shagging around.

She was never going to do that simply because it’s Beckham’s money that’s paid for her career. Her fashion company is millions in the red, she’s nothing without his name and money.
Why on earth else would she still be desperately clinging on to him?

Gall10 · 20/01/2026 12:10

Who gives a damn about these nepo babes, their narcissistic pheasant shooting parents, their mother who’s a crap singer, their philandering father, their other talentless siblings, their nonentity of an American wife and her equally nonentity of a family?
As for that post…I doubt the man child even knows the meaning of narcissistic let alone spell it.
i suppose I must give a little bit of a damn myself as I’ve read a bit about it.
But why oh why are Radio 4 reporting on this shit show?
p.s…..anyone got a clip of that first dance 🤣🤣
