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

I reckon one of kourtneys kardashians kids might come out with some complaints 👀

Kanye might pipe up about North again. Kris is taking note!

Sorry to harp back to the wedding dance but BB even acknowledged that it was in front of 500 guests , so why would he lie. But on the other hand how come out of 500 'witnesses' only the DJ's partner has said anything 🤔

Judging by the face on North by North West in the family picture Kanye put up the other day that one might not take too long 👀.

They would all have signed contracts before going in the door. No filming, or pictures either. He deleted the comment quick smart!

Vicky B? Like nobody anywhere has ever called Victoria Beckham ‘Vicky B’.

I think we are definitely due a Kanye meltdown in solidarity with Brooklyn omg 😬😬😬😬😬

😂😂😂.
He was too pretty in the 90s and had better hair than I did. I think he looks a bit seedy now. He certainly ain't no James Norton!

Oooooh, now THERE is a tasty man. James Gorgeous. I mean James Norton! He's lovely!

I think David Beckham is pretty fine too. But he looked better a few years ago. James Norton is looking better as he ages. He was sooooooooo hot in Happy Valley! 😍

In the queue please!

I hate how attractive I found him in HV because his character does some truly horrendous things. But his acting skills made him into so much more than a one dimensional villain.

I remember when Harper was born, Victoria treated her like a glorified handbag, luxury accessory.
While Victoria could face a bank of hundreds of photographers, flashing bulbs, wearing the obligatory massive dark sunglasses, her poor baby girl had to face them looking visibly terrified and confused.
Why was no one telling her how abusive this was?
Why did David and Victoria, as parents, not understand how messed up this was.

David was a talented footballer, fame came hand in hand with that.
Victoria was a mediocre singer and dancer who got lucky.
I think that she’s the one who’s driven fame at all costs and David has been only too willing to follow that, to the cost of the privacy and ultimate happiness of all their children,

Exactly! He is a very good actor too, as well as being 'fine!' 😃

😂😂 he’s too pretty tbh, I’d have jeans dryer than the Sahara

DB was pretty as a young man.

Now he looks like a bouncer at a Soho strip joint.

Something vaguely ferret like about him, and all the plastic surgery just exacerbates it.

Yes, I remember seeing her carry baby Harper past a crowd of photographers to attend some fashion show or other.

Even if she insisted on taking her tiny daughter to an adult environment, couldn't she have found a private entrance instead of dragging the poor kid past all those bright lights and men shouting at her? But then again, if there were no photos, then what's the point?

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 20/01/2026 21:50

@mumofoneAloneandwell yeah your safe with Hozier. I can't go for a man with thicker hair than me 😆.

Talking of hair, I wonder who took longer to do theirs back in the day!
