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.

Brooklyn Beckham accuses parents of using Harper for 'choreographed' house visit

Harper Beckham was spotted making a failed attempt to reunite with her brother Brooklyn, with a spokesperson dismissing the visit as another stunt from 'brand Beckham'

So Harper at 14 has already had acne and come out the other side with flawless skin? Bullshit.

Decacaffeinatednow · 15/06/2026 10:55

@Letsgetreadytorhumble
V has said she suffered from acne - I don't think she was referring to Harper.

Tableforjoan · 15/06/2026 11:01

I tried to find the article and it seems to of changed to her skin was bad from products she was using and then V’s acne but the first article I remember reading it was definitely worded to that harper had acne.

BeardySchnauzer · 15/06/2026 11:07

I would say the one thing VB has done well is not to pass on her ED. Harper looks healthy.

and as a tall teen with a tiny mother it can make you feel ‘big’ when really it’s inevitable when you are taller

I can’t stand Brandy Melville. I’ve been to their shop twice now and said never again. Clothes stacked high, utter chaos, teenage staff, the clothes are so poorly made they won’t last a season. I’ve told my girls that I’d rather pay the difference between a Brandy Melville item of clothing and something from Subdued (another teenage favourite but better made and the clothes come in more than one size).

My DN buys from both and you are right the one size thing is deeply weird - especially as she says the "one" size isn't always the same one!

BUT apparently they do last reasonably well, so she said her money goes a lot further than at Subdued. I took her for a shopping trip and both were fairly chaotic in terms of stock piled high, teens queuing for changing rooms etc!

Victoria has been giving loads of interviews recently talking about Harpers atrocious acne, and how she’s launching a skincare to help other young girls like herself. So selfless.

BeardySchnauzer · 15/06/2026 11:46

I see Harper was wearing one of her mothers designs

NeelyOHara · 15/06/2026 12:00

The hatred of, and constant hounding in the press regarding Nicola really does make it seem that they are the family from hell to marry into unless you do what you are damn well told.
I assume the constant bullying and harassment is to cause trouble in the marriage, it must be extremely stressful for them regardless of Nicolas wealth.

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.

Yes. It’s so obvious and it only goes to support what Brooklyn has said about them. David and Victoria are awful parents. Poor Harper being used by them. She’ll probably end up as unlikable as they are, but at the moment, she’s just a child being manipulated by them. Hopefully she’ll see them for what they are in time.

@dayswithaY that is exactly what the the children are for.

To continue the brand sales which is why they wanted to retain the name copyright. So only they can make money from the names.

Sure he just got a star on the floor he has to pay for but I didn’t even realise that was still considered a big deal anymore. The children and the fallout have overshadowed that.

Cruz is off licking toads, harper is launching her skin care line because in V’s words she suffered from terrible acne and for such a papped child I can’t say I ever saw it 🤔 but I’m sure every 14 year old girl in the world would love to hear their mum telling the world about her like that. No idea what Romeo does he seems like the forgotten child dragged out for the roll call of family photo!!

V seems to think that David is the most attractive man on earth but he has had so much work it’s unreal but maybe that helps her sleep at night that rather then he is a sleaze there are just so many women throwing themselves at her husband the worlds most attractive man he just can’t help it. At times it looks like he barely wants her to touch him.

Cruz is off licking toads
I thought that was a typo so I googled it and found its one of his songs. The lyrics are certainly...interesting. But maybe someone could let him know that just because words can rhyme with each other doesn't automatically make them.a song!

I'ma rip your stockings, I love them fish
Nets are never empty, I love them ish
Hashish stupor, take the piss, yeah
Mother Nature, she likes me lit, uh-huh
Let me take a lick of you, Mother Nature
I'ma take a lick
Let me take a hit off you, Mother Nature
I'ma take a hit

BeardySchnauzer · 15/06/2026 18:04

I see VD have their favourite paper taking a pop at BB - calling him a sellout for the door dash advert that heavily references the fallout

i mean, he’s learnt from the best 🤣

TheSkyRaisin · 15/06/2026 18:26

Ugh, can’t believe I’m weighing in on this, but every time I see adverts on TV I see David Beckham’s smug face and I’ve had enough 😁
David and Victoria are an absolute disgrace, and I feel really sorry for all their kids and the way they have sold them since they were born. Victoria with her disordered eating and lack of any discernible talent, and David with his long-since gone talent, rumoured affairs and their joint obsession with money and status. I can’t believe he was given a knighthood after his leaked email tantrums, and buying a Hollywood star is the icing on the cake of tackiness. The video someone posted of the boys looking uncomfortable whilst being papped is heartbreaking, and the fact that their parents have dragged them all round the world instead of letting them go to school and hang out with kids their own age is shameful.
I fear Harper will bear the brunt of this being the youngest and the only girl -she’s already being used as a mannequin for those bloody slip dresses by her mother. Now she’s supposedly come up with an idea for a skincare line, all by herself 🙄 Not to mention being used by her parents in the Brooklyn situation, which is completely transparent. She looks lovely and healthy and I hope her mother’s fucked-up relationship with food miraculously passes her by. None of those poor kids stood a chance at having a normal life or any kind of privacy and I’m just glad they’ve got plenty of money for therapy.
Oh yes and another thing…I’ve still not forgotten David Beckham’s Qatar ambassador role at the last World Cup, raking in fucking millions despite all the controversy. With his status he could have done something really good for football instead of being a sportswashing shill, but he really doesn’t give a shit. He will endorse anything if the price is right - crisps, underpants, aftershave, human rights abuse, you name it. Dickhead. How much money does one family need FFS?
Anyway, glad I’ve got that off my chest 😂

I think Brooklyn's just lost any moral high ground with this advert that's just dropped. He accused his parents of exploiting him for money… now uses their painful family feud to do the very same. I can't imagine the unanswered letters on the table are a direct response to Harper's visit the other day because of the timing, but they might be a nod to other letters she and other family members have sent but he's not opened.

What a sad sell-out.

I agree it was a poor move on his part but would it have been filmed so recently?

Kbcdtyijgd · 15/06/2026 18:50

The commercial was filmed at the beginning of June

AnnieApples · 15/06/2026 19:01

I don’t even know what Brooklyn was promoting there, but I liked it!

Tableforjoan · 15/06/2026 19:16

Aye I can’t get mad at the lad for one advert that implies a reason to watch football from home.

His parents sold him vs him doing the deals he wants is very different.

Also it’s only people assuming it’s about his parents. It could be anything as I’m sure Beckham won’t be at every match and even if he was doesn’t mean Brooklyn would have to speak to him, he could book a private box.

Its an advert his been paid to do don’t most people have post on a table somewhere.

No, and I said I didn't think it was recent. Someone else said it was filmed at the beginning of the month.

BeardySchnauzer · 15/06/2026 19:23

The pile of letters and harper delivering one are a bit odd - very analogue!! But can see what they were going for.

hopefully the denouement will be that he’s staying home because he loves getting door dash too much

Tableforjoan · 15/06/2026 19:24

Also you really think an advert would have been recorded in the mere days just as a swipe from the latest thing.

He would have already been signed up to do the advert before harper went to his home.

BeardySchnauzer · 15/06/2026 19:28

I think he’s been working with door dash for a while. He is trying to forge his own career but it can’t be easy when you are high profile from birth

i do think this ad will have poked the hornets nest and VD will come out swinging. I wonder if they see their kids as family or employees sometimes!

Teakettletrio · 14/06/2026 22:38

The nighty thing is driving me insane. She’s 14 FFS. Why is she always dressed like that? It’s hideous. She is totally being groomed for a life in the spotlight. I feel very sorry for her.

I agree. The revealing pink nightie slip “dress” is sexually explicit in a pubescent 14 year old - and that is actually creepy IMO. Deliberately showing off her pubescent breasts and nipples for goodness sake. Who does that to their daughter? What kind of attention are they trying to garner here, apart from some pervy old men? Presumably the Beckham parents are actually encouraging their 14 year-old to be sexually provocative like that? Just to show off Victoria’s dreadful nightdress “designs”. I really and truly find it sexually creepy, almost like pimping her out. Worse than anything they allegedly did to Brooklyn, imo.

GellerYeller · 15/06/2026 19:45

I realise they have a security team, but surely the risks involved in taking a high net worth individual’s teen child out on a non essential trip, are very high?

The risk assessment will be set off against the financial gains. It's a risk well worth taking!

Decacaffeinatednow · 15/06/2026 20:00

Harper is a commodity to her parents. Just as her brothers are.
