Really? Can’t you see this young man was pushed into the spotlight his entire life ….his parents needed the family brand to work for THEM not for their children .I,m not a fan of Beckham or his wife and you can see from photographs through the years that any photo session VICTORIA has to be the centre of attention and her kids are just accessories.
The daughter is the same age as one of my Gra daughters and often dressed in gowns more suited to a 25 year old.
Their “perfect family” is all an act for their own benefit .
Hes better out of it for his own sanity

I m not too sure why we have another thread on this as I really can’t see how it could be lighthearted

I ve always thought Victoria Beckhams has a mental health problem she seems to needs to be in control of everything , she obviously has an eating problem and is very very controlling over her intake of food, she always looks incredibly miserable, rarely smiling. David seems much more normal whatever that is

I ve no knowledge of who’s right and who’s wrong in this debacle but all of them seem to live totally by social media and everything down to the last fart is public knowledge
Now there is a totally broken family which is sad for everyone

It was Tolstoy who said that each unhappy family were unhappy in their own way. I don't know enough about them to comment knowledgeably, however both sides seem to use social media to put their side. It's an unfortunate side of fame, I suppose

This is a very lighthearted thread, with a sad undertone.

Just read a piece from Sunday Times, written by a journalist who interviewed Brooklyn.

It was after his marriage, but before he decimated his family, aimed at both his parents, online.

The article shows Brooklyn loving his parents, adoring his wife, and living his best life.

Yet, is he? He doesn’t appear to have any inclination to take paid work seriously, despite lots of encouragement and support from both his parents.

Though I don’t think I’d had thrust my children into the limelight in the way Victoria and David have done, there’s no question that they have been loving and supportive parents, have a strong work ethic and family is important to them. David in particular does plenty of charity work and Victoria sometimes smiles in public. grin

Why then have Brooklyn and his wife Nicola become so hostile towards the Beckhams, and more importantly why are they playing this out so publicly?

Is this just a case of two horribly spoilt and over indulged, entitled young people or are David and Victoria terrible people and parents?

For me, I think it’s the former!

Anyone else think the same?
