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

Oh wow, I’d forgotten about that

they were the original Kardashian’s weren’t they

maybe that’s what they wanted, the Kardashian fame 👀👀

I have always found that utterly icky. Yuck Yuck yuck.

Shudder.

Parents with poor boundaries toward their dc - messed their dc up in incredibly insidious ways.

Oh i am cringing thinking about inappropriate dancing ! I thought his instagram statement was just a page but i just kept swiping and it just got worse.

This is the very worst thing about it imo. Dancing "on" me he said. Just the most awful cringeworthy thing to have said about you, VB will be embarrassed about this forever.
I personally like BB-P a lot, love his cooking reels and admire his loyalty to his wife over family - but I wish he hadn't said this!

She has sold her life and soul, as he, the husband to the devil for money and fame....this is just the beginning of their judgement

The son has done exactly the same.

I wouldn’t say they did much of that at all though, compared to many other celeb families? Back in the day it was normal to do photoshoots etc and even then I don’t remember knowing everything about their kids

Oh every child was pushed since they were born. BB is same age as my son's and remember her frequently posing with the lad and she has paraded all her kids. The poor daughter is dressed up inappropriatly but it's suits the Brand

mumofoneAloneandwell · 20/01/2026 18:16

Okay it’s ’out of ya mind’ by vb and Dane bowers 😂😂 - can’t find the exact pose, maybe it’s her vibe

The kissing on the lips?

Why is the new wife the problem?

He says, in his own words, that he is not being controlled, that he is standing up for himself.

Now, why will you not listen to a grown man?

Why are you deciding, for him, that he is reading this all wrong?

And why are you deciding that the new wife is to blame and not his dad or mum?

I’m not sure what my opinion is, but he put all of these intensely personal details on his public Instagram page to ensure millions and millions of people saw it.

Of course, people are going to gossip and draw their own opinions about it. You can’t control the narrative, you can only control what you do or don’t put out there. By doing what he’s done, he’s partaking in the behaviour which he’s complaining about. Which again, is his prerogative.

@mumofoneAloneandwell
Yes won that battle perhaps what ever it was and tramped over a young girls feelings in some way from the powerbase of her family.

She's pushed them into the peltz powerbase whjch is bigger better and I imagine nastier and has lost the war.

Agree - I’m obsessed with the idea of them trying to destroy her before it got public, and it just not working!!

they hate the fact that she can’t be controlled imo

what happened to his ex who was then dating one of his brothers, in the end?

@JontyGentooey "Brooklyn has had a shit deal, he can't try and do anything with his life without people calling him a nepo baby."

He could be

  • a bus driver
  • a teacher
  • a nurse
  • a lorry driver
  • a police officer
  • a bricklayer

etc. And, then, no-one would call him a 'nepo baby'.

Why doesn’t BB change his name, put the work in by going to college to learn how to cook/photograph or what ever else he decides to do then get a job in a kitchen or in a studio and climb the ladder like everyone else.

If you don’t want to be considered a nepo baby then stop acting like one.

Others with parents who are a lot more famous than the Beckhams change their name and pursue their own path.

Of all the things BB levelled at his mother I think in my mind he came across as a self absorbed martyr and someone who stretched the truth

The problem I have is, VB is not exactly the most expressive person and the idea of VB dancing is quite hard to imagine.
So the idea of VB dancing inappropriately, I think is stepping into the twilight zone.

I think atm all things are good with BB and his wife. But that could be because they have this common enemy to focus their day around.

What happens when that enemy is no longer there
The perceived enemy have cut you off and don’t want to build bridges

What then?

Rollonsummer1 · 20/01/2026 18:25

I think this came to head in a Peltz lawyer meeting, he looked at his contract/obligations & they pointed out conflicts & potential future commercial flashpoints. He then had an epiphany about his life to date.

@LochSunart i’m obsessed with the idea that he’d be called a nepobaby if he was a bus driver 😂😂😂

he’d be called a lot of names but I doubt nepo baby would be one

I must admit to not really following what she gets up to I just see bits of her walking looking very dour. Never seen her dance.

Was she upset, emotional & drunk?

Who the hell calls her Vicky B???

PinkPanther57 · 20/01/2026 18:29

Again I can’t imagine her getting drunk or emotional.

Does she drink?

I can’t see her as someone who shows her emotions

If he was a lorry driver, he could call his truck Neppy B.

It depends if they won’t endlessly bankroll & Peltz dynasty will, well pesky Ts&Cs…

If Brooklyn was short of money he would of sold his story instead of dropping it online for free

EasternStandard · 20/01/2026 18:38

I feel sorry for BB. I don’t follow any of them and not had much of a view of him but it’s sad if his family are tagging each other and not him (oddly got some IG stuff probably because I’m posting on this) , it’s sad if he falls out with his siblings.

I think he’s hurting and the parents should try to resolve it.

I don’t remember this either, maybe I was just too uninterested to notice
my sis met the spice girls years ago and said Victoria and Emma were absolutely lovely to her, the others looked irritated to be there

The other thread had pictures of a very drunk looking VB who appeared to have wet herself being led out of an establishment by a furious looking DB. As someone else said its always a bad idea to drink on an empty stomach, which in VB's case is always.

Ive always thought BB to be a vacuous fool, probably in part due to the ridicule he's received over his "photography" etc.

After reading his post and other online stuff about the Beckhams I am definitely team Brooklyn.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 20/01/2026 18:44

PinkPanther57 · 20/01/2026 17:57

I thought the details were deeply personal, eg: dancing/dog anecdote were unnecessary & almost vindictive - therefore dramatic, yes.

We all Interpret things differently.

TheMorgenmuffel · 20/01/2026 18:50

I think the whole thing is very sad.
When David and Victoria first got together they really did seem normal, happy, genuine people who actually loved each other.

Then fame did what fame does and they lost themselves to it. I wonder if they can even remember who they were or the last time they were truly happy.

Its all a complete shit show.
