AIBU to feel sorry for Harper? If BB has an issue with his parents it shouldn’t mean that he also stops talking to his siblings. It’s equally as sad if the parents did choreographed the letter/visit.

Sometimes the people cut out of someone life will try and contact that person through others and that person won't want that contact as they believe they will try and be guilted into contact and/or the person will report back information.

People who go no contact are often warned about 'flying monkeys' and having to cut off more than just the person/people you actually want to have no contact with.

I think he’s right for once.

Why would she pop over there when she was being followed by the press after the star unveiling. Just go at a different time if you want to hand deliver a letter to someone who is on the opposite coast. Or better yet, just mail it.

I think there is something to be said by just putting out your side of the story when someone is trying to make you look like the bad guy.

To cut off siblings and other family members when your problems are with your parents is childish and hurtful

You have to cut off everyone if you're doing what brooklyn is doing

He loves his sister i'm sure but she cant protect him from the parents so he has to protect himself 😪

Another power play set up by D and V.

They are disgraceful, it has to be a set up as the press are not allowed to photograph under 16’s without permission in LA.

So he's gone NC, she didn't respect that, turned up on his doorstep and there just happened to be photographers waiting?

It sounds like he has the measure of her and probably doesn't trust her not to blab his personal stuff to the two business people who raised them.

Unfortunately, when you cut a parent out of your life, it is very hard to maintain contact with your siblings. The siblings have to pick sides and will often pick their parents side. Even if they don't mean to. Even if they don't take sides and just remain as neutral as possible, they will find it hard to not mention them. (Talking things they've been doing with them/the times they have seen them.)

When they do mention them it will sting the person who has cut off their parent(s.) It's so hard to keep a relationship going with close family when you go NC with one or more of them. (And it's particularly hard if it's a parent you have cut off, to remain in touch with your siblings.) In many cases you have to make a choice. Try and heal the rift, or give them all a wide berth. It's simply too hard/too painful for many people to keep seeing siblings when the siblings have their parents in their life, and they don't.

All the things he said about his parents expecting them to be part of the brand and miss school for their events etc is playing out in real time with Harper.

as the first, they messed up by letting him become a figure of fun. I don’t envy him his upbringing regardless of the wealth

Apparently he wasn't even in the city, so even if he wanted to see her he couldn't.

Can't believe I'm commenting on this when I really don't give a shit 😂

Same! 😂

Team Brooklyn. Harper is going through what he went through. He’s pointed out in his statement that his brothers were made to be flying monkeys. Both of their girlfriends are on the payroll. They couldn’t buy Nicola…

Hes an arsehole

Ha ha, snap

Ridiculous performative nonsense

That’s what I was thinking.

One of, or both, David and Victoria Beckham gave permission for this stunt to be photographed and publicised. It’s the state law in California.

They’re exploiting that poor kid. She’ll grow to loathe the one who made her do it and facilitated it, because there will be more flying monkey jobs coming her way. And then veiled vitriol if she objects.

Why couldn't she post the letter, instead of an awkward, unannounced visit?

And how come Mirror journalists know it was hand-written?

Is that you, Victoria?

Her parents told them when they were giving the required legal permission for the newspaper(s) to publish.

It’s like the Prince Harry situation and Harper is being used by her parents as a flying monkey imo. Unfortunately it’s not possible for him to be in contact with his siblings and not his parents - especially as Harper lives at home with the parents. His parents would leak a meeting and the pain of reading about it in the press would be worse than not seeing his sister imo. The parents wouldn’t be above leaking something false so that Brooklyn had to issue a denial and start a dialogue.

Note: I have no opinions on the rights and wrongs of the estrangement but as someone who is NC with a parent, I understand why Brooklyn can’t just stay in contact with his siblings

Who just pops round to see if someone is in any longer? Especially at their level of fame and wealth? She decided on a whim to get her driver to take her? After some do when she was all dolled up? With a letter? And photographers just happened to be there?

This is a very handed stunt, using the youngest sibling.

Appalling exploitation of Harper, she's still a child. Parents should be ashamed of themselves. I feel really sorry for her.

My old days in the press, the Victoria's sister would tip off a local photographer as to where she was going to be that day.

This is just them playing again with the media. Idiots.

poor Harper she is young they have time to change the direction for her but media attention still appears to be more important

Poor girl, being exploited by her parents again.
