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

Dane Bowers and Rose West. This thread certainly has everything 😂.

They are as fake as they come. Good on brooklyn for speaking out. I used to see her round Cheshire years ago. She thought she was special. Dreadful the way she spoke to some people she deemed beneath her.

I find it hard to believe Brooklyn would post all that if it weren't true. He has up to this point tried to remain silent.To me it sounds like hes finally snapped and he can't abide them controlling the narrative in the press about him and is trying to tell the truth. Good for him.
You are saying there are 'other sources' sayinf different, which are who exactly??
The main source is Brooklyn and hes sticking up for himself and his new wife.

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

Which video? Who?

Who the hell calls her Vicky B???

People with their nose out of joint that she uses the slightly grander sounding full version of her name… funnily enough though, nobody is referring to Brooklyn’s wife as Nicky.

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!

Doesnt he try to get close to her and she coldly pulls her hand away from her own son. She looks unwell and has for time. She doesnt need to be a bad person but people with that many struggles and such a strong obsession with their own image can have difficulty being a good mum.

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

How do you know she doesn’t? I didn’t realise she doesn’t?! This is a supportive post, I don’t know why ok? For fun, to shorten the title, I didn’t think too much into it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Are you ok?

No sympathy at all.

She's getting comeback from the social media machine her brand so relies on.

The very animal that has been feeding them now has cause to bite.

If you live by social media, be prepared to be cancelled by it.

He sounds like he’s offloading and is really sad. The dance and dress thing is nothing really. The point is he’s felt miserable for most of his life by his family and has been pushed into the public eye since he was a baby. I hate how parents do that. Even his ex chloe moretz said they used to be followed by their cars to check their behaviour was good enough for the press.

I posted this on the other thread but it's a striking photo to me. Let's take our toddler to a theatre on a Saturday night, possibly tip the press off (because how else would they happen to be there), not bother to put our child in a car seat or comfort him from the men with cameras clicking and flashing at his window. Brooklyn looks worried and uncomfortable too.

I mean without a whole host of run ups and follow ups of the before and after of her leaving the club its impossible to say. Wouldnt surprise me if she simply stumbled on those stupid shoes.

I wonder what all of us would look like when taken pictures of walking along, up and down stairs, just looking into the distance.

Absolutely nobody forced the Beckhams to parade their children in front of the press from the moment they were born, selling pictures of them to OK magazine and talking in great personal detail about them during all those media interviews. Nobody asked those kids if that was ok.

Brooklyn has had a shit deal, he can't try and do anything with his life without people calling him a nepo baby or laughing at how rubbish he is, like with his photography or cooking and all the rest of it.

Sounds like he finally told V&D he didn't want to be part of Brand Beckham anymore, they were furious and he finally decided to kick back. All a bit sad really but the only bit we know for sure is 100% true is that they should have given him a basic level of privacy in his childhood. They didn't.

YABU.

Good post and I agree with this. Beyond this people can speculate but we can't know for sure.

I would imagine they love their children even if they got some things horribly wrong.

The stakes are so much higher if you're famous and things are played out publicly.

As for Brand Beckham, whatever that is, do they really need any more fame or money at this point?

What do you mean 'who'? I am starting to think that you definitely are a plant and not a genuine poster.

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 19:49

When Bb posted last night, how long was it on his stories? Did he take them down quite quickly-maybe in regret? Or were they on for hours?

Yes its his truth and thats fair enough but I dont think its right to write a statement like that about your own parents in public
