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?

You would have thought 😁
or maybe Nelson just forgot to lock the door 😂

Well that tells me all I need to know bc Elton doesn’t kowtow to anyone! 😂

BB has flagged as first dance which should have been with NP. So…

It really isn’t the best example of abusive parenting, ditto dogs. He likely has a point but it’s very poorly made (IMO) as our ongoing discussion proves. As for it being worst thing ever endured in his short life thus far..:He’s telling us his life is rather charmed, isn’t he?

Complete aside, but how well did VB - and DB - know EJ before asking him to be Godfather? Well?

He obviously notices everything…Godfather energy.

Digression alert. I think the Beckhams must get a lot of seriously credible threats, as they're so very tight on security. They use world-class security agencies - previously Gavin deBecker Associates, and probably still - who earn their giant fees by knowing which threats can be dismissed and which may be critical. Anybody knows it's not ideal for kids to be shadowed by guards at football practice, there must have been good reason.

You lot can't blame this on V&D publicity seeking, at least, as it's never been of much interest to the tabloids. If anything, the security keeps them away.

Agree, Vogue article/interview would not have covered incidents like Marc Anthony's idiotic comment, any discomfort Brooklyn showed at having to dance salsa with his mum, and Nicola running off in tears. It's a puff piece, like all sleb/showbiz journalism of that kind is.

What seems less likely is that they'd construct a time line that was wholly incorrect – ie Marc Anthony's 11pm set actually being earlier, and kicking off with what should have been the newlywed's proper first dance.

I posted it solely for what it showed about the timeline of the day – that the newlywed's actual first dance was earlier, sung by Lloyiso, not Marc Anthony. Whatever Brooklyn felt about finding himself dancing with his mum, not his wife, for that first dance/song of Marc Anthony's set, it wasn't his official 'first dance' with his wife – that had happened earlier.

I dont think anyone is saying he hasnt got issues with his parents and elements of his childhood and he's right to feel whatever he feels about that.

its about how you deal with that. A spiteful public attack on his mum, also with manipulated detail, thats not on.

Deal with it in private

Its not about 'siding' as such.

He is an average looking man with an average personality. He wouldn't have got those gigs without the Beckham name.

Possibly.

But the fact the DJ is a big friend of the Beckhams (indeed Godfather to their dcs) and that relationships had already soured between them and BB/NP at this point suggests you are being a bit naive to think it wasn’t a bit planned.

The”first dance” referred to was the first dance of Marc Anthony’s set and yes, I absolutely think that should’ve been between BB/NP. And as MIL I’d have insisted they dance first.

Possibly the DJ orchestrated it all himself but I think some of you are maybe giving VB a little too much credit here - remember at this point she already disliked NP enough to refuse to make her dress…

They probably just share the same PR company!

BB has said or heavily implied otherwise, therein the issue. He said this! It’s trivial, IMO, & if this & dogs are best he has as abuse examples words rather fail…BB says worst thing in his life re: dance embarrassment…It seems that instructions were given…’hands on waist’…etc

Im not naive, I know there could have been collusion, but where is the evidence of this?

The wedding will have been meticulously planned by the bride and her family, the DJ going rogue might have happened but Im assuming he was paid by the bride, why would you agree to upset her? Im not sure VB is that powerful is she

Whats the reason VB didnt do the dress, because she didnt like the bride or because it wasnt the right design/couldnt meet need?

🐴

No, I take the “first dance” comments to mean first dance of the disco part of the evening ie. Marc Anthony’s set - which is what this Fat Tony guy seems to be confirming.

Still should’ve been BB/NP dancing first imo. And BB’s “VB waiting in the wings” comment and the idiotic “most beautiful woman in the room” remark suggest it was a setup to me.

I know a few creatives in industry - fashion/entertainment - & especially if they’re a big name with deserved reputation - they are not going to take very bad behaviour lying down. I’ve known some walk out! On celeb clients!

VB in wings for lovely, unexpected Latin dance…Oh dear.

I suspect you’re right on the disco part BUT BB or NP assume/s we KNOW all that! Doesn’t EVERY wedding have halves & multiple dances &!/ disco section? Doesn’t every bride have multiple dresses - so a cock up & misunderstanding on dress no 4 is HUGE to us plebs too…Massive empathy…Worst thing EVA!

One of my take-aways from this is never to believe a word written in Vogue ever again. Well, one of the versions is a lie. I'm going with both, probably.

Wasn’t it early ish in their/her fame? Akin to MM & PH inviting hitherto unmet (?) Clooneys to wedding? If they didn’t know DF & EJ at all (?) that’s some ambition & aspiration right there. My friends would howl laughing. A smart move perhaps…

They probably (correctly) assumed that if the statement went something like: “my DM then refused to make the wedding dress that NP intended to wear for the 4th section of the wedding which came after the Valentino, Vera Wang and Gok Wan dresses and then proceeded to interrupt and dance inappropriately on BB for our 3rd first dance of the evening…” it wouldn’t sound quite so good!

No some of us have narcissistic siblings so we’re well aware of the other side of the coin.

Narcissists are narcissists no matter their age, today’s narcissistic child / child in law will be tomorrow’s narcissistic parent / parent in law; I mean think about it, people don’t just turn into narcissists upon having children, they were already one long before which means once upon a time they were someone’s narcissistic child and someone’s narcissistic sibling - it’s just basic common sense.

Just because someone looks like butter wouldn’t melt, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. The Beckham’s are flashy and have made mistakes so it’s very easy to label them as the whole problem but anyone who has actually dealt with a narcissist knows exactly how good they are at manipulation and playing the victim.

Let’s look at things critically shall we, what bad press has there actually been about Nicola and Brooklyn that as come from “sources”? The only things I can think of is that Nicola is controlling and Brooklyn is being controlled, that’s about it which has rumours go is pretty generic. On the other hand, we’ve known about the wedding dress, hijacked first dance and that Romeo is supposedly dating Brooklyn’s ex (which she denies) for years now so where do people think those stories came from? Do people really believe the leaks have been one way?

And before anyone says it, The Beckham’s can hardly be blamed for Nicola’s bad press for being the “meanest person” and isolating Anwar Hadid (came from Gigi or Bella I believe), the wedding planner lawsuit, the nanny assault lawsuit or the doggy groomer lawsuit; I mean that’s a lot of lawsuits for someone so young.

Yeah - like Preston Bailey, the 'celebrity wedding guru' who's handled multiple events for the Trumps, including Ivanka's wedding, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Douglas and assorted global royals. None of these are renowned for their easy-going natures when it comes to high-profile event planning. And Bailey has never quit on them before his contract was complete.

DJ Fat Tony said "the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room".
After rampant speculation over Brooklyn's comment about his mother's dancing, the DJ said: "There was no slutdropping, there was no black cat PVC catsuits, there was no Spice Girl action."
Pop star Marc Anthony performed at the wedding reception and called Brooklyn on to the stage, the DJ, whose real name is Tony Marnoch, told ITV's This Morning on Friday.
"The next minute, everyone was expecting it to be Nicola to go up and do the first dance," he said.
The US singer then called for "the most beautiful woman in the room" to join Brooklyn - before saying Victoria's name instead of Nicola's.
This led to the bride running out of the room in tears, Marnoch said.
'Crying her eyes out'
"Victoria is by the stage, she goes onto the stage, and of course at that point Brooklyn is suddenly, literally, devastated because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife.
"Then Nicola leaves the room crying her eyes out. Brooklyn is stuck there on stage.
"And then they do this dance and Marc Anthony's going, 'Put your hands on your mother's hips'. It was a Latin thing.
"The whole situation was very awkward for everyone in the room."

Don't know if this the Beckhams PR working behind the scenes but sound like really odd behavior from Marc Anthony the pop start performing according to the the DJ Tony Marnoch.

Perhaps Victoria could have avoided stage and dance and gone after DIL - but sound like she was put on spot and made a poor choice. Though perhaps the Bride and groom could also have handled the situation better.

And if you must don’t use such tone deaf, ‘privileged’ examples.

VB may not have known about the ‘beautiful’ comment but she’ll have known about the dance. There was previous sensitivity about Mum interfering with running order etc NB: leaked texts. So poss final straw for NP?

VB then on spot & BB picks up on her inappropriate physicality here?

I can understand NP being upset but respectfully it all sounds rather hysterical for a woman in her 30s? There’s a way to style it out & have words later if you must. Maybe FIL & FOB could have taken it outside ? :)
