why arent the beckham's keeping their lives secret?

[EleanorReally]

surely this was the whole issue with Brooklyn, all the instagram nonsense
Brooklyn Beckham unfollows Gordon Ramsay amid family feud

It’s all Brand Beckham and they can’t help themselves. They make money every time we click and read.

Even Harper posted a photo of her brothers - including Brooklyn - as part of a valentines post which is weird in itself. Just don’t post anything at all?

They get paid to share their lives and must think the money is worth it.

They don't know how to. They don't want to because being in media seems to be essential for their identity.

They wouldn't make money if they had kept their lives and their children's lives private.

I don't know how they didn't think selling their dc's privacy was wrong and would cause problems when they reached adulthood.

The article is about Gordon Ramsey posting something, not the Beckhams though. Im not sure they can control what others choose to post.

They are going to do to their other kids what they've done to their eldest. They're like one of those insular, "we're ^family", nightmare families that everyone knows and keeps their distance from.

The valentines posts are weird.

I read about what Gordon said yesterday and thought it was obvious Brooklyn was going to unfollow/fall out with him now. Gordon would have been better keeping his mouth shut and trying to maintain a relationship so that he at least had that then maybe in the future he could have helped them. But he couldn't do it

no, there was mention
On Valentine's Day, youngest sibling Harper posted a tribute to "the best big brothers in the world", accompanied by a childhood photograph featuring Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
Victoria subsequently reshared the image on her Instagram Stories, though Brooklyn hasn't publicly acknowledged it.

i guess the kids, ie, Harper, is totally brought up like this, as are many people
but this was Brooklyn's complaint

Well to be fair Gordon Ramsay was talking about it, somebody follows all these celebs so they can make it "news" BB didn't say anything.

Money

You seemed suprised that people who have spent their lives courting attention are doing things for attention, before it was magazines and showbiz columns they used now it is instagram, maybe Brooklyn has a point.

that is exactly my point.
they are obviously not listening to Brooklyn - although to be fair, Harper is young

Yeah I did wonder how much encouragement/telling Harper had had to make that post. So V&D think they can’t make posts as they’ve been asked/told not to and won’t want to upset him. But hey, he hasn’t said anything about Harper so let’s see if this tugs on his heart strings, I mean he can’t get mad at little sis can he?

I do get it’s also possible she did it herself off her own bat as she misses her brother.

It isn't complicated. They make vast amounts of money from living very public lives

I agree. I also found his comments ironic given that his new son in law has cut off his own parents. There’s no way GR said this without consulting the Beckhams. I don’t think what they all thought it would achieve. If anything, it’s bringing the story back into the headlines just as it was dying down.

I honestly think they don’t know any different. Both of them became international superstars as teenagers. It’s all they’ve ever known their whole adult life. I feel a bit sorry for them.

By the way, are those daily mail links? I won’t click then in case they are!

Because they have a need to be talked about, theyre attention seekers, plus they'll be getting paid for every click.

evenign standard

but Ramsey is no different to the Beckhams, both rely upon the cult of celebrity as their source of income

without that he'd just be another chef with a restaurant, no TV work, no endorsements and the Beckhams would be an ex footballer with no way to replace his expenditure and a wife with no skills at anything, including singing.

I feel sorry for the kids. I know they've had a privileged upbringing but they've been living in a goldfish bowl since the day they were born. There's plenty of famous people who have managed to shield their kids from the limelight - I know Elton John has kids but I wouldn't have a clue what they look like.
Let them grow up in peace and if they want to have the limelight when they grow up it's their choice

This is the problem with social media and being ‘an influencer’.

Everything is a content opportunity.

See example of people filming themselves crying over whatever, or the lunatics doing multi-frame ‘overnight with a newborn’ videos.

Everything is a content opportunity that can generate income or awareness.

They have been publicising their lives for decades & it’s part of brand Beckham. Why would anyone sane expose their dc from a young age to the world?

Its all about the clicks. Considering that Brooky and Nicci are demanding "peace and privacy", their seems to be a lot of "convenient" paparazzi around when B&N are out and about looking gorje 😊 another strange thing I read, not sure of the source, but they had pronounced that they were looking into surrogacy or adoption 🙄
