Old pictures resurfaced: Brooklyn + VB

[OnePinkHedgehog]

AIBU to think that the inappropriate behaviour started a long time before the wedding dance...??

You're not wrong. However, Team Beckham are camped out on this site so you won't get appropriate answers. VB and DB are both creepy weirdos.

I’m pretty sure you haven’t seen them kiss on the lips for years. As you point out, there is a big difference between kissing an 8 year old on the lips publicly and kissing a 15 year old.

I had noticed them dancing and sitting on his lap a lot - it’s questionable for me because she’s usually in women’s clothes - just feels a bit odd - defo seen the lip kiss recently - not sure about that

Calm doon Nicola - we already know what you think of her.

He looks rigid and embarrassed with that performance, which is what it is.

I don’t know if inappropriate is the right word. Fucking weird is more befitting.

I have a son Brooklyn’s age. There are lots of photos of us with arms slung around shoulders and smiling. None of me mooning at him as though he’s my boyfriend.

Yes

if my dad was kissing me like that in front of cameras I’d think he was not being genuine and it would make me question him

You don't have to be Nicola to see how weirdly possessive Victoria has always been with Brooklyn. He was basically a surrogate husband when David was cheating. Poor boy.

This, is it intern PR time?

May get some hate here. But I’m 37. Still a massive daddy’s girl. I will still happily have a kiss from my dad and on occassions when I’m deeply upset or anxious or had difficult news, I’ve sat on his lap for a big comforting hug.

Nothing sexual in the slightest. Just a girl who loves her dad and sometimes wants to be that little girl again who could sit and be held and feel protected.

I think people’s perception that this is wrong is more the issue.

The pictures are fine.

Unless she kissed him like that on the first day of Year 7 at a new school in front of a group of Year 9s.

I’m sorry but that sound alike regression and and def not ok - to sit on your dads lap at 38…😬

it’s inappropriate to be using your dc as a prop to pose!

I don't think that Victoria was sexual with Brooklyn, more emotionally possessive. Still weird and damaging, though.

I think he looks really uncomfortable, judging by his facial expression.

It does look really performative and all about her - which I think is what he was objecting to. It must be horrible to have parents that force you onto the media, whether you like it or not. As a result of that he's been called 'Dorklyn,' has probably read the comment about being 'fugly and having a face like a potato, etc. Maybe the resentment of having no say in that, of not being able to give consent, is what has built up. His parents have not protected him from media intrusion or the abuse that goes on online with the coverage.

I remember reading both the books on Joan Crawford & the one on Marlene Dietrich written by their daughters and thinking how awful it must be to be a child of a celebrity. The Crawford one was particularly awful as one minute it would be 'Christmas with the Crawfords' broadcast on the radio (1946) and the next behind closed doors, she'd be beating the shit out of the kids...

Are you ok OP?

I think yes she’s probably narcissistic and controlling, but I think trying to pin something incestuous on to a mum is just bizarre to me.
She obviously loves her son (even if she’s hard-work) and so I don’t see anything inappropriate in those pictures personally.

i do wonder, if she was dressed more ‘mumsy’ or ‘dowdy’ would you see the pictures in the same way?

No, she just did it in front of the whole world instead

Yeah I see what you’re saying it is creepy and she’s putting posing and being sexy above her own sons comfort, he is a prop in these images nothing more and looks deeply uncomfortable in the later two.

and that makes it inappropriate to me, when you use your kids as a prop and put your desire to pose above their comfort then it’s very wrong.

I also don’t think it’s incestuous, I think she’s using him as a prop for her own image and rough riding over his comfort, and for me that’s inappropriate in so many levels.

I don’t thiink she’s trying to be sexy. The very fact that she is being photographed with her young (looks about 18?) son is enough to make it impossible for the photo to ever be sexy.

U ok hun? R u on glue?

Op you’re embarrassing yourself judging VB by your own standards. The fact you think it’s weird that a mum kisses her son’s cheek…is… weird, to say the least.

Shame you’re not mature enough to be able to seek comfort from your own father.

Whilst that’s not the relationship I have with my father, I’m intrigued by what you mean by it’s “def not ok”. Def not ok on what basis? By what standard? What are the consequences of it not being ok?

”Inappropriate” makes it sound a bit sinister.

However, yes, her son is too old to be kissing him like that and hanging off… at that age, that’s what you’d expect from a girlfriend.

It’s more like she hasn’t excepted he isn’t 3 years old anymore and you need to have boundaries.
