To find it disturbing how many people are sneering at and belittling Brooklyn Beckham?

[Gahr]

I know, I know. He's rich, privileged, yadda yadda. I do get that and obviously there are many people who are far worse off.

With that said, the number of people, on here and elsewhere, who are staunchly Team Beckham and more especially Team Victoria truly disturb me. It's as if people really do believe that their children belong to them. I think that even if we allow for exaggeration, the Beckhams' behaviour has been pretty gross. I personally don't believe that Brooklyn is lying or even greatly exaggerating, their odd behaviour has been on display for a long time now. People screech about how 'ungrateful' he is but I don't really see that he owes them any huge amount of gratitude. He only released his version after they kept needling him and briefing the press to be negative about him. I'm reminded of the 'Stately Homes' thread on this site, about parents who think that they are great parents because they supplied their kids' material needs.

I actually find it disturbing that anyone cares in the slightest to be honest, but maybe that’s just me.

I’m with you on this one…. I couldn’t care less about the whole thing!

Sure, but that's just our world nowadays. I know what you mean but people will always gossip about celebrities and royalty. What I find interesting is that so many women seem to be putting themselves in the place of a woman who has been 'unjustly' cut off by her son, without pausing to think it it is really so unjust.

Seriously how paranoid must you be to believe the press are being briefed negative stories about you when you dont show up to your dad's birthday party they are going to smell a story and dig like rats nobody needs to be briefed 🙄 they are not royalty you dont even hear much about them these days

Many parents feel their children owe them for raising them regardless of how that child
feels about their childhood.

Peatys mum with the whole I sacrificed!!

When it’s a child who is rich or famous suddenly the parents see to be able to do no wrong.

also and I’ve said this on another thread.

The more negative stories printed about bb and np without David and Vic calling it out the more he can feel or be proven to be right about them. If the press are writing lies d&v are happy to sit silent or they are the ones feeding the stories. Neither option come from good parents.

Nope. It might be your world, but it's not mine.

But you could.. enough to post on a thread about it 😁

Exactly. I agree about Peaty's parents, as well. I'm no fan whatsoever of the Ramsays but Mrs. Peaty's 'poor me' stance was nauseating.

None of us know the real truth of what has happened. BB has had an extremely privileged upbringing, he’d have never met his wife if he’d been an ordinary Joe Soap. Parts of the media are fanning the flames with story after story, probably 90% is a work of fiction. You can clearly see David and Victoria adore their children, I don’t think any of us can comment on their children’s upbringing because it is so removed from the life most of us lead.

Ok? Feel free to scroll past, then. I never understand comments like this one. I don't go into threads about dog ownership saying that I don't like dogs and wouldn't own one. Also, like it or not, celebrity culture is a relevant topic in today's world. It isn't about being a fan, it is about studying patterns.

You mean comments with other folks opinions?? How dare they have an opinion different to yours 🤣

It has been clear for years that many on here hate the Beckhams.
This is just another excuse to have a dig at them.

No, not with their opinions. You would have a point if I had said to scroll past because they disagreed with me about this issue. What they said, though, was that they didn't care because celebrity, which is boring. If they aren't interested in this issue because it is (at least in part) about celebrity culture, why bother commenting at all?

If you put out a public statement saying something about someone else, it can hardly be surprising that people then form an opinion, and that opinion may be one side or the other. Not sure why that is “disturbing”.

And this. It's as if these people just HAVE to tell us how above it all they are. Boooriinng.

'Studying patterns'?! Sorry, but it's just mindless gossip.

I find it disturbing to see a young person who has gone through what I know is a tortuous mental process to decide to cut off his whole family (nobody does that on a whim) attacked. Mentally, he seems to me to be in a bad place. I hope Nicola and her family are the ones to sort that out but I have my doubts.

I don't mean by that that people shouldn't do it, but I do find it uncomfortable.

Ok.

He probably shiuld have kept a dignified silence rather than post a rambling whingefest on Instragram for the whole world to read and dissect. Several of those who attended the wedding have confirmed that the wedding dress and the first dance sagas were fabricated, Vogues article also seemed to confirm it as well.
Considering that B&N have quoted that they just want private peace, they seem to going a strange way about it!!

"Disturbing"? Wow. You need to toughen up haha.

Its very weird how anyone can reach a conclusion when they don’t know the full story.
Almost as weird as living your life on Instagram.

Yes, I’ve seen some dehumanising comments about him here, and other places online. Privilege doesn’t mean the absence of any struggles or suffering. I think that kind of commentary, in many cases, comes from people whose own adult children don’t enjoy their company or their behaviour.

He made it public. Non celebrities do it but has less followers so it doesn’t make press as not enough people are interested.

People shouldn’t post unkind comments on SM.

If he really wanted privacy, I think people would leave him alone. There was no need for this statement. Seems to me just to be so much entitled drama. So what if your mum is dancing a bit drunk at your wedding.

The thing I’ve come to realise is that everyone will come at it from their own projections. People will belittle him because they believe their struggles are worse than his because of his wealth/privilege and therefore not in a position to complain.

Some will see him as hugely disrespectful because they can’t imagine having a toxic family dynamic and assume he’s a trouble maker for no good reason.

Others will be fully onboard with him and take sides knowing what it is like dealing with toxic parents. There is a movement on social media encouraging adult children to put in place boundaries with toxic parents and more recently, another tearing them to shreds.

I encourage anyone who has a fractured relationship with their parents to avoid taking to heart some of the comments you may see on social media.
