To think people are missing the main point that Brooklyn Beckham is trying to reveal ?

[Thistooshallpass.]

Firstly I know the goings on of this family are not important news and there are more important things to worry about in the world .
But I’m finding it surprising that people are fixating on things like the wedding dress and the dancing . There are a couple of points in his statements when he is clearly saying what I have always believed- that David and Victoria are not a couple as they like to portray . I’ve always thought David’s disdain of her is quite obvious in the way he talks to her and that she appears lost and soulless but intent on preserving the brand .
BB says “ 'The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
Then - “ media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.'”

To me it seems obvious what he is hinting at ?

Is the marriage a sham to her, or is she just like many a MNr in an affluent marriage - desperately clinging on for the imagined respectabilty of a long marriage; desperately trying to keep their family together, desperately trying to beat off all the OW their husbands may shag... causing irreparable damage to their children; who will go no contact with them as soon as it's suits them to do so?

If the marriage was a sham for both, but BB was all that's important, she could happily be taking a lover with a NDA and living her best life.

Maybe the reason people say she looks utterly despondent while David looks utterly disdainful, is because like in so many of these marriages; she's still 'in love' with him and he's too much of a coward to pull the plug on their 'loving and successful union'.

Who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️.

Parenting is not all about money though, is it? You can provide your kids with all the material goods in the world and still be a shit parent.

At least use a good dictionary source. Although the source you do give states clearly that disinterested fully means the same thing, it just can also mean something else - pretty normal for words.

AND?

In my small circle of friends, there are three couples that, for various reasons, remain married, get on well, holiday and socialise together but have separate bedrooms.
The marriage remains legal but the relationship is a friendship.

Nobody’s business but the two people in the relationship.

I agree! It’s not a revelation. It’s always been brand Beckham. He probably did have an affair but they moved on. Brooklyn has always suffered with his mental health and I think being rolled out in front of paparazzi hasn’t helped. Could they have parented differently? Probably. I imagine Brooklyn was a handful as a teenager and now he is kicking back. And that’s fine. However, I’m not sure his spin is completely accurate though. Sat in a hotel room for a week waiting to see David for his 50th??? Was Brooklyn being stubborn? I’m not coming unless ‘blah blah blah’
I hope David and Victoria say nothing if I’m honest and just think this shouldn’t be reported on. Families have fallings out and that’s fine

so don't bother commenting
BTW "disinterested" means non-partisan, I suspect you mean uninterested

YABU. That's all perfectly obvious. I don't think anyone's missing the point at all.

I think this is true for a lot of celeb relationships that try and peddle a brand / kids into the business etc.

there are likely a LOT of NDAs and legal wrappings to keep everything they want seen or hidden.

it is up to us to buy into it or not. Sadly a lot of people do hence the brands do well.

The Ramseys, Olivers etc took a very different attitude to their kids in press though. I like celebrity gossip but wouldn’t have recognised their kids on sight individually growing up or as adults whereas Brooklyn I would.
Brooklyn’s godfather is Elton John. I know he had 2 boys but wouldn’t recognise them.

Speaking of celeb offspring whatever happened to Callum Best ? Another nepo baby with a very pushy mum. Couldn't open a paper once without being asked to admire his biceps. Did he take up a trade?

I’m more… disinterested to be honest. Pair of self absorbed arseholes spawn some kids, oldest kid is spoilt and despite using his name to enter a social circle he would otherwise never inhabit due to his lack of skill and intelligence he rejects said name on the grounds of his mothers dirty dancing and over use of social media. Yawn!

I've surprised myself by genuinely feeling pretty sorry for Brooklyn here. While I suspect "recollections may vary" on the details of the wedding saga, the kid's been in the limelight, pushed, without consent, front and centre into the public eye, since birth. For what reason? Solely to make his parents money and to build the fake "happy family life" of Brand Beckham, (and yes, lots of people do still think it's authentic, sadly).

People have taken the piss out of him because he's no discernible talent but has been "promoted", again by his parents, to the point of embarrassment, frankly. It's sad that he says he's had a life full of anxiety. No amount of money is going to make up for a childhood that should not have been spent under flashbulbs and being "marketed", with the entire narrative of your life being controlled.

And in recent months, it's been nothing but his parents' narrative (and "ooh look, he's just like Harry and we Beckhams are suffering just like Charles." I'm not sure that he is. I think Brooklyn does just want to get away and make his own life for once.) And I don't have a problem with him wanting to put his side of the story, even if some of it seems more the wife than him - the childhood stuff doesn't.

Do I think he's gone from the frying pan into the fire with the Peltzes? Will he likely be ditched at some point? Probably yes. But I can see a lot of genuine pain there. As others have said, I think we'll be seeing more of this, not from him necessarily, but other nepo kids. It's not healthy to put kids in the limelight like this. Especially not to help shore up a sham marriage.

Not sure what he’s up to but his mum is dying of cancer. Was she super pushy? I can’t remember her being in the press that much. I thought he was mainly famous due to his dad, an alcoholic wife beating waste of space.

I took this to mean a sham marriage, just for show.

he's chair or manager something of Dorking Wonderers football team. He did a really interesting interview with Rylan for his finding love series. Worth listening to for both of their thoughts

Exactly

why come on a thread that you are not interested In and comment - like a petulant
teenager needing you to know they don’t care

Over-privileged Nepo baby, boo-hooing about being forced to be a brand, whilst trading on being a brand. He’s hopeless at every career. I also don’t have any time for his parents .

This is what happens when you have too much time, too much money, surround yourself with people who after with you, and your lift doesn’t go all the way up to the top.

One thing we can hope is that BB is going to make damn certain if he and his wife have children they will be protecting their privacy from the day they are born until adulthood. Let's hope ....

Who is he refering to op why not just say I

Oh come on it was clunky - and grammatical errors - can’t see anyone else wrote it

If people were that simple.

Totally agree with you and not sure why the rest of the media aren’t picking up on this. Probably because Brooklyn is right and the backhand are controlling their image

he’s definetely sating there is no happy family/couple there

@somanythingssolittletime plenty of people are the offspring of famous people and they have had their childhoods protected and they get to enjoy the fruits of their parents labours.

Brokeln however has without being asked has contributed to the money pot.

Because we all long for our parents to love us in the way we need… Perhaps

Their life is a business.
Lots of celebrity couples' and politicians' lives are a business.
Charles and Diana's marriage was a business arrangement.

I think their son should have kept quiet tbh.
His parents both worked hard to give him the life he has.
He's married to a billionaire's daughter thanks to their efforts.
Ungrateful nepo baby.
