To think Brooklyn Beckham doesn’t need to take his anger out on his sister Harper - will they ever make up?

[PurpleDisco]

I follow Victoria and David on their Instagrams so I just saw it’s Harper’s 15th birthday today. VB posted lovely pictures including one with Brooklyn and Harley when she was little. It was so sweet. DB didn’t post any of Brooklyn. It must break VB’s heart that her eldest child could be so cold and has cut them all off. Brooklyn today has posted a picture of his hot sauce, no mention of his little sister’s birthday. Whatever his issue with his parents is, he should be ashamed of himself to do this to his sister. Unless of course he has wished her a happy birthday in private which I highly doubt.

Does anyone think they’ll ever make up as a family or is that it? Can families really put silent treatment / ostracism behind them after a year or many years even and move on?

Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do you place any blame at his parents’ door?
They are grooming and exploiting their daughter just as they did to him.

He’s said he wants family privacy so it surely follows he wouldn’t post any messages publicly? Not saying he’s right but it would be more strange at this point to do the opposite of what he’s aggrieved about.

We don’t know if he sent a card, a present, a text message etc in private.

I hope they are able to build bridges in the future.

Normal family relationships do not and should not play out on instagram. Maybe he’s just normal?

Do you not think you are over invested in the life of the Beckham family?

How anyone can live their lives being the subject of so many peoples voyeurism is beyond me.

I find posts like this quite ignorant. You don't know anything really about this family or what has happened behind their closed doors, but you are ready to say he should be 'ashamed' of himself.
Family estrangement can be very complex. The sibling relationships are rarely left untainted when parents and children estrange.
You know only their very public, social media lives.
Lots of recent examples have shown us that we can't trust a person's public persona.
Brooklyn appears to have been very damaged by his relationship with his parents and their fame, and his experience of life as part of Brand Beckham.
If you are interested, there is lots of information available about toxic family dynamics and the psychology of estrangements.
Do I think families can recover from estrangements? That would depend heavily on the background and the work that the individuals are willing to do.

Indeed, I hope he has been in contact with her privately, even a birthday card would be a start!

Realistically what in your opinion would put an end to this drama and they would start speaking again?

It’s early days Brooklyn probably has another50 years to go

She could be a flying monkey. He just can't take the risk.

He’s young and I don’t think he’s untypical of an unhappy 20 something with an alternative family to tag onto. I do think a lot of people “come back” later

@AnonymityAnonymity no not overly invested at all! I just happened to see V &B’s birthday posts on instagram while chilling out after work in my garden. A friend I met today for lunch is in a similar situation with her adult DS. She actually commented on the many celebrities who are in the same boat, we briefly discussed estrangement and how sometimes families can move on and make up but sadly not always.

I used to think that him and Nicola would end up breaking up well before now… however having seen videos of them together I’ve changed my mind. They seem to me to be exactly as dim and vacuous as each other; ideally matched in fact so who knows if he’ll ever reconcile with any of his family.

FWIW I completely believe that he’s been exploited by his parents all his life. However if it weren’t for them he wouldnt have had anywhere near the opportunities he has. He’d have ended up working in a Costa for sure. Talented at anything he ain’t 😁

Christ alive why are you so invested in people you don’t know? This is not normal behaviour!

I bet you were one of those teenagers who phoned a helpline when Take That split up 😃

@UseItOrLoseIt1984 almost, how did you guess? 🤣

It’s perfectly normal. It’s called pop culture

The problem with VB, she has alway portrayed the perfect family when that doesn't exist. I thinkvshes a very pushy parent and whilst thats ok for the right reasons, brooklyn has had enough! Harper at 15 is being thrust into the limelight to add to the brand. Nobody really knows if that is what she wants. I think maybe brooklyn wants a clean break from the circus, even if it means cutting off his sister.

@kate6754 oh do calm down! Read my previous post where I explained and not that I needed to btw! You know you don’t have to comment if you’re not interested in the thread title, just scroll on by please! It’s not difficult…

Maybe he contacted her privately and celebrated with her.

Why are you assuming he has ignored his sister on her birthday when you have literally no way of knowing if he did or not?

Why do you doubt he wished her happy birthday privately? Why do you think a public post is the only way for a famous to communicate good wishes to another famous? Brooklyn has been very clear he wants no part of brand Beckham. Posting about any of them on social media would be buying back in. He's wise not to.

Tbf after she rocked up to his house with a letter papps in tow he made it clear he wouldn’t be talking to her, but of course we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors

I really wish my head was filled with this kind of rubbish rather than real worries

I’ve got plenty of real worries too, don’t you worry

He asked them to stop posting him and even on their daughter’s birthday they still post a picture with him.

I mean come on people.

They keep doing exactly what he has asked them to stop and they are all shocked face that he won’t talk to them.

V & B would sell their children and their grannies for fame.

They own/d the copy rights for the children’s names that was one of the arguments with Brooklyn a married adult man wanted the rights to his own name and wouldn’t let them keep it.

People don’t cut off their parents for no reason. It’s just often lots of smaller things that then break the camels back.

Again harper goes to his home when they knew he wasn’t going to be there he was in another state. Just so happened to get papped in an area where they are not allowed to linger magically there at the right time. Sold the story.

Brand Beckham at all costs.
