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

He doesn’t look livid though, does he?

Yes, he absolutely does. His face is like thunder.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 20/01/2026 19:49

Yeah his face looks like he's thrilled.

But I wouldn’t say fuming or livid? It’s so hard to say on a chance photo with no context whatsoever. That could happen to any one of us

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

Okay 😂

Your fake naive posts seem designed to drive engagement. I could be wrong of course, but I have come across fake posters (not bots) before and you remind me very strongly of them.

Yes. It's the circular, timewasting faux-naive and not very focused questions that always give that impression I find!

You can think he looks full of the joys of spring if you want to. But to me he looks royally fucked off.

Yeah. I actually have reported the thread, I don't think that this place should be used for this purpose. Goodness knows we get enough fake posters and advertising, but shilling for Brand Beckham is a new low.

Howmuchhowlong · 20/01/2026 19:58

YABU for calling her Vicky B. The whole cutesy, coy, over familiar use of nicknames for people in the public eye gives me the absolute ick

Yeah it seems a bit off to me too. Strange the OP isn't even reading their own thread properly, hence all the what/who posts

Up until the recent documentaries, I hadn’t seen much about Harper at all, especially not when she was younger, the occasional family picture maybe, which is not shocking

Victoria trademarked her name around commercial items when she was 8 years old I believe - never been done before

plus she is always dressed far older than her years - adult revealing clothes

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.

Also, he's only written what his lawyers let him. There must be so much more that has not been mentioned. A pp may be right, perhaps it's a warning shot to V&B.

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.

👀👀👀👀

pandowo · 20/01/2026 20:07

Op you have got to be the beckhams pr team, poor old shy vicky b, so innocent, it’s all Nicola etc, just like she would want us to think 🤔 😆

soupyspoon · 20/01/2026 19:50

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

Maybe he felt like he finally wanted to speak after so manh years repressing everything? And maybe they will finally back off and leave him alone. Hopefully jt was therapeutic.

ApplebyArrows · 20/01/2026 20:09

I am willing to believe both that the Beckhams may have been rather bad parents and also that their rich but useless son and his rich but almost as useless wife may not be painting an entirely fair picture of things.

There are parallels to the Prince Harry situation.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 20/01/2026 20:10

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 19:45

😂Where does this show she’s wet herself and he’s fuming?? She could be holding onto him as she’s walking down steps in huge heels maybe?

those trousers have two different tones girl 😂

Edited

She made it pretty clear she wanted a girl for a fashion icon.

Stayinitstoocold · 20/01/2026 19:41

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?

I would have thought it was obvious by the fact that she has only used the name Victoria for the last 30 years…

The OP will pop up in a minute to tell you that your wrong 😆.

David could've at least have given her his jacket to wrap round her waist.

This one.

I am all team Brooklin and Nicola and I believe him. But this photo is pitiful and as a mother myself, though not much older, than Vicky B I feel she is vulnerable here and wouldn't like to poke fun at it. Seems so toxic, what will their dc have made of this. How thin she is and drunk to boot with a husband who doesn't seem to like her. Why does she do this to herself.

I actually agree with you. Looking at the pictures of her from the early 2000s earlier and she was so much healthier and happier.

I always wonder if they did gender selection if that’s possible?
