David and Victoria’s press statement

[Williteverstopraininghey]

Where is it?

Will they even do one?

Has anyone changed their initial viewpoint on the whole thing?

And lastly….Team Brooklyn or Team Beckham?

How about team Don't Care.

well you obviously know all tbe ins and out of this and I really never even think about them or read anything. I justknow there’s been a row. I know if it were my kid I’d let it blow over rather than fan the flames. I’ll now bow to your obviously very expert knowledge on this very important subject.

I wasn't referring to him

Agree. Could this be the intent?

I think we will see more and more of these children who had their childhoods monetised going NC with parents. BBs feelings are valid. I hope he can move on and have a life he is happy with.

There was a story circulating shortly after the wedding of a wedding guest being on the receiving end of an allegedly ‘completely foul outburst’ from an ‘irate’ Nelson Pelz because they used one of the mansion toilets and not one of the portable toilets set up in the marquis areas.

Maybe the guest was Marc Anthony 😁
Might explain his DJ set!!!

I mean, can you imagine a thread on here where the OP says the MIL hijacked the first dance at her wedding and then was announced as “the most beautiful person in the room”?? And surely this comment came from one of the Beckhams cronies bc who in their right mind would even SAY that!? Nicola Peltz may or may not be a bitch but she is a stunning young woman and it was her frigging wedding day and let’s be honest - Posh has never been regarded as a beauty!

I mean come on - We’d all be calling the MIL a toxic, narcissistic monster!

My friend cannot accept that Sir Elton John has sided with Brooklyn. She is shocked. SHOCKED.

Unless... BB and NP wanted that version out there even though it was untrue, ie the version in Vogue was their fairy tale that they would have wanted to happen, and they wanted to have that published rather than the truth which was how it got highjacked.
I don't know though! It would be weird to have a completely altered account published.
I wonder if there'll be other witnesses who are willing to speak out, other than Fat Tony who TBH didn't come across particularly well in his TV interview in my opinion... He certainly won't be on D&V's xmas card list any more!

Well Brooklyn said in his public statement that his mum hyjacked his first dance with his bride at his wedding and danced inappropriately "on him" which is saying Victoria made a 'dick of herself" so im not sure Brooklyn and Nicola wouldnt have signed off on it tbh....

That Fat Tony guy (never heard of him) actually comes across as the voice of reason!

“Being the child of a celebrity is not a privilege - it’s pre-ownership’ says PR Guru Mark Borkowski. “From birth, your name is metadata. Your adolescence is content. Your mistakes are monetised by strangers and quietly risk managed by family advisers. You grow up fluent in exposure but illiterate in autonomy. By the time you are old enough to choose, the brand has already been chosen for you.”

As posted by another Mumsnetter on another BB thread. Speaks for itself.

FFS Marquis🙄 (should be Marquees)
As you were

I think Brooklyns statement about his mum hyjacking his first dance with his bride at his wedding was emphatic, but it seems now it may not have been the actual first dance but the first dance of Marc Anthonys evening disco set.
Brooklyn is either badly advised (given how litigious the Peltz family are ,i think lawyers would have checked for accuracy of detail?)
Also, Fat Tonys version saying Marc Anthony called Brooklyn and Victoria to the stage and called Victoria "the most beautiful woman in the room " if true is a tad insensitive at a wedding (not a crying and storming from the room issue though) and not Victoria fault.

It’s also laughable that people think the so called briefings and leaks are only one way. We have known for years about problems with the dress, the supposed hijacked first dance, Mark Anthony calling Victoria beautiful and that Romeo is supposedly dating Brooklyn’s ex (although she’s clearly said they’ve only ever been friends) so where do people think those stories came from eh? There’s also been several articles over the years about VB being a nightmare MIL and snubbing NBP but let’s just ignore all that and blame the Beckhams entirely.

I think a lot of people jumping to the Beckhams defence possibly speak from a place of privilege and can’t imagine what it’s like to grow up in a toxic environment with narcissistic parents who put their own wants and needs first.

As others have said, if you strip away the “petty” things like the dress and the dance it’s really very sad and the fact he’s felt the need to do this speaks volumes really.

VB didn't hijack Brooklyn and Nicola's first dance, though – that dance had already passed without incident, earlier in the evening, followed by Nicola dancing with her dad.

Whatever happened during the dance involving VB and Brooklyn, it was the first dance/song of Marc Anthony's set, long after the newlywed's actual first dance.

And VB isn't responsible for Marc Anthony being a total fuckwit and referring to anyone other than the bride as the most beautiful woman in the room.

The rights and wrongs of how VB and DB raised Brooklyn (and how interesting that VB is getting all the heat on that, not DB, who will have had equal responsibility as a parent), are an entirely separate issue.

But on the matter of the newlyweds' first dance, it seems clear that VB did not hijack it at all.

Some of you might. Some of us might establish through the discussion on the thread that it wasnt the first dance, the MIL was called up to the stage and announced by the DJ and was told how to dance a particular style which mother and son did

She didnt refer to herself as such

We would then empathise that the DJ made a massive faux pas and that was insensitive to the bride and perhaps a bit cringy to do a salsa but its late into the evening by then, we've all had a few drinks type of thing.

But the definition put on the MIL of a monster, toxic, narcissistic?

Extreme words for social clumsiness, not necessarily of the MIL's making

Everybody's at it with their children.
Everybody should stop.

Also never heard of this ‘Fat Tony’ but he seems to be loving the attention. I was expecting him look like the rapper Fat Joe but he doesn’t! If anything he looks drawn/ill.

Imagine! If you upset the staff they may defend themselves. Didn’t NP have other staff to police the loos? :)

No, it’s not what I’d have done with my kids. But my point still stands that if you don’t want to be in the public eye, like PH and BB say, then just disappear, delete social media, stop writing books and taking to magazines, people would soon forget about them if that was what they really wanted.

You have to remember that Vogue are only going to write a fairytale, sanitised version of events ( that they’ve been told to do)

They don’t want to write about the MIL doing sexy dancing with the groom and the bride flouncing in tears! It will have been given to BB & NP’s PR to go over before printing and at that point they obviously weren’t ready to do an honest account of things - the Vogue article doesn’t really show anything.

Also often things that happen in real time especially at something like a wedding aren’t fully processed and scrutinised until much later. I did the same with my own wedding and some of the behaviours of family on the day - at the time I just wanted everything to go well and be perfect - but even now years later I look back and think “wtf was all that about”?

Agree. BB talks of Mum waiting in wings & sounds like a planned Latino ‘surprise’ with ‘actions’. My idea of hell as my mother would know! These unexpected bonus surprises seem very popular at weddings etc currently, waiters faux tripping & singing etc.

BB has anxiety - not fun for him!

Sounds like the “most beautiful woman in the room” comment was a total set up then. Which is disgusting and extremely spiteful.
