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 really, really disagree (for the Beckhams). This isn't Molly Mae off Love Island doing a statement about her breakup with Tommy Fury the same week her clothing brand and documentary launch. The Beckhams have tried to go for classy entrepreneur and this is all very embarrassing.

Hard agree

I am just thinking that certain people ie Anna Wintour would step back from this chaotic family.

Unfortunately you may be right but memories are short & how will Brand Beckham respond to this?

They shouldn't respond at all,just carry on as normal.

I can't believe on the radio news they just reported VB wishes Baby Spice a happy birthday on SM wtf?!

Hard agree, this will really damage her fashion brand sorry

they’re messy

They say the Doc was mainly about her selling the business? If so this isn’t good publicity…

It all feels very Black Mirror.

She was doing so well at becoming respected as well

this family mess, and her being imitated as gyrating and twerking online, is bad for business omg

I believe him. You only need to see pictures of Victoria draped all over Brooklyn in various pictures and referring to him as her spare husband. Grim.
It's not his fault he's been spoilt that's down to his parents.

Referring to him as her spare husband???!! 👀👀👀

I just wonder how many mothers slating Victoria, could put their hand on hearts and say they wouldn't feel as devastated as she will be.

Yes, it's all a bit cruel.

I don't think they ought to have had the children in the public eye so much, and I do suspect BB has some legitimate wounds from it all so I'm not about to come down too harshly on him, but I also wonder how many mothers could put their hand on heart and say they have got everything spot on as a parent - especially where situations were developing and not known outcomes.

Had DB's recent comment been "parents make mistakes," as opposed to "children make mistakes," I think it would have been the tweak that would have calmed this thing right down and actually made people back off the schadenfreude fest.

I feel bad for Rebecca loos too
And how they stired things up for her again when they did that documentary which was DB acting like a victim about all the stories about him

No focus on sorry he made a mistake
Just oh press are being mean to me

I can’t lie, I barely care when celebs moan about the press 😂😂

quit being famous then, and give your money to the nhs 🙄🙄

david managed to come out of that Rebecca loos situation smelling of roses

even Kyle walker is doing alright despite his numerous families

Back in the day they were everywhere,telly Hello mag, very magazine and paper ,I can't think how they would've kept them out of the public eye tbh.

There are ways if it really matters to you.

I just think they didn't understand the impact fully then. VB says she always wanted to be famous. She probably thought she was giving her little boy the gift of a lifetime.

DB has at least one kid if not two outside of his marriage from what i've read. A guest at Brooklyn's wedding commented on his Insta that it was true about the dancing. Really strangely susannah constantine has posted on her socials that's she's team Brooklyn.

👀👀👀👀 does he?

Who is suzannah Constantine?

There are things the press aren’t allowed to print in the uk. Think the royals ans creeps like david walliams.

Agree with this, they’ve got an iron grip on the uk press imo, but maybe they’re about to lose it!!

Agreed. The poor kid didn’t have much of a chance. His brother Cruz has football talent, he didn’t inherit this. He sadly inherited his dad’s intellect so I doubt he could have gone to university. Anything he did in life would subsequently have made him a ‘nepo baby’. Always think he’s been a bit lost and not really known who or what he is. He’s still quite young and clearly loves his wife. I hope he’s happy away from them and the media circus they love to be surrounded by.

The footballers was Romeo, not Cruz. And I think talent is a bit of a stretch. He’s chucked the football now, the highest he got was the Brentford second team. Do you really think he would have even got that far if his Dad was a truck driver?

Well obviously most parents would be devastated, especially if they didn’t put their own need to be famous and in the headlines above the wellbeing of their children. I’d be devastated if one of my children went NC because I haven’t done anything close to what would merit it.

You’re right but I do think the zeitgeist is all about mothers blaming themselves & rightly should be, in every evolving family situation.

It’s always been Posh & Becks. Neither have had a high profile romance before each other. She certainly wouldn’t stay single. It would have to be someone very significant. Not just rich… Tom Cruise? Elon Musk? David is a playboy, just get a younger model. This will definitely rock their marriage.

You think so but the ‘wrong’ partner & a ton of therapy that encourages navel gazing… - you’d be amazed at what I’ve seen.

He actually might have yes, because he would have been hungry for it, just as working class David the child, was. Had David been born into mega wealth and fame he probably wouldn’t have made it as a top footballer either. The problem with children born into great wealth and fame is they don’t have the hunger or drive to improve their future lives.

Why not evolve & stay within the Brentford Bs for a bit & go out & kick for a thousand hours like Dad? Too late now…
