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

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

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

Oh my, Dane Bowers. Theres a 00s name I haven't heard for about 20 years!

I just looked that single up and fell down a rabbit hole into the story about Victoria causing outrage because she pretended during Party in the Park to have got her lip pierced. I remember it now and people were really angry because they thought lots of young girls would copy her 🤨. Cannot believe it's the same person we're discussing now 😂.

Brooklyn basically suggesting his mum sexually harassed him (because what else do you call inappropriate dancing) is wild. Even if that wasn’t the intention.

It’s nuclear. Yes, she might be a nightmare MIL (if we accept his version), and made him pose for photos growing up, but that is just a bit much

I do actually feel sorry for them both but he could have said good piece without all that, blimey. Goodbye reconciliation

It also seems unlikely for someone so conscious of public image at an event for 500 people.

We’re still waiting on videos though, maybe it wasn’t being recorded for publicity? 👀🤷‍♀️

Well I’ve gone down a Dane Bowers rabbit hole, total blast from past. He has grey hair, lives in Dubai and has split up from a gf who was on love island.

It’s stuck in my head now!! 😂😂

😂😂 omg I didn’t know about this - this whole thing is really going to ruin her fashion empire tbh 😬😬

Dane bowers was doing the rounds on reality tv a few years ago - I feel like him, or Gary Lucy from one of the soaps, had a baby with a love islander

Newsenmum · 20/01/2026 19:09

Not really. I feel very sorry for those kids.

Newsenmum · 20/01/2026 19:09

The video of her pulling away from him is pretty sad.

Benjaminbraddock · 20/01/2026 19:13

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 11:47

But there are reports of it not being the first dance, that they’d already had a dance and she’d danced with her dad? The way he’s described it is his opinion (or more likely hers) she could have been cuddling her son on his wedding day, all perfectly normal things. It’s truly horrible for a son to say that to the public about his own mother.
It’s unforgivable

lol. Not all mums are good people. Look at rose west.
Just because you can give birth doesn’t mean you can wheel your children out for publicity and allow them to live your warped publicity hungry life

She drinks, seemingly heavily or more than her teeny tiny little body can handle, it’s not unlikely that she’ll embarrass herself and her family at large events

I think Rose West is a leap…

Rose West comparison is more than a little unfair

Rollonsummer1 · 20/01/2026 19:19

Loads of vids they post about dancing .
The last one I saw she's drapped over dave.nothing wrong with that at all

In all honesty I bet she not thinking about bb at the wedding dance and was wanting to show off how relevant and sexy she is . Bb could have been anyone

The one where she just holds her pose & BB is trying to get Nicola in the shot?

Very strange isn't it?

Doesn't scream close family at all!

It’s a comparison to the op saying ‘but she gave him life’ or whatever trope people wheel out whenever someone commits the heinous crime of not adoring their mum.
nothing to do with vb being like rose west but sick of the rhetoric, particularly on here that offspring must be ever grateful and respectful to their mums regardless of the circumstances

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 17:14

Maybe, I dunno…ffs does it matter?!

I’m genuinely asking why you chose to refer to her using a name she doesn’t like being called

TaraRhu · 20/01/2026 19:29

I feel sorry for her. I'm not surprised they questioned brooklyns relationship. He was very young to get married , especially to someone older and maturer than him. They should have kept their mouths shut though. In many ways this is a standard tit for tat arguement over a wedding that many posters on Mumsnet talk about daily! Its very sad its got to this.

I don't think they particularly monetised their kids. There are far worse examples of this! They made some errors of judgement, like that awful photography book. But they don't seem like bad people.

I think Brooklyn has had a tough time of it. The media has not been kind to him. He is a child of two ambitious people. Yet he himself is not particularly ambitious. So he was never going to shine. The press have been very mean to him. At a fundamental level this is his parents fault as it's their fault he was brought up in the public eye and scrutinise his failure to launch.

But, just like Harry and Megan he needs the brand to live. He has nothing else. He wouldn't have 62 million followers if it wasn't for his parents...... so I think he doth protest too much

Gotitgotit · 20/01/2026 19:30

Have absolutely no idea what the truth is but DB looked pretty relaxed this evening on the news . Who knows ,but the innuendo from BB was deliberately worded to suggest that his Mum was very inappropriate ..just sending strangers into meltdown that she is a paedo !
I just don’t know what to believe TBH !

Why would it matter? She’s not calling her Vicky to her face.

Onefortheroad25 · 20/01/2026 19:32

Whosthetabbynow · 20/01/2026 11:58

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

Oh Christ. I hope that’s not true. How cringey😳

Feel sorry for Brand Beckham 🤣🤣 that woman has meticulously planned the way things are and blocked every possible negative story, she’s as cold as ice and barely smiles, she has eaten the same food every day for like 20 years but he’s let’s feel sorry for her 🤣🤣🙈

anyone remember Rebecca Loos??

exactly

His folks wanted him to sign the rights of his name away, why would they do that??

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 19:35

Shimmyshimmycocobop · 20/01/2026 18:41

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.

What? Where is thar picture?! Can you tag it/post it
