Estrangement for celebrities

There are always two sides to a story.

Allsorts

BlessedArt, no one knows everything about anyone. I hardly think Brooklyn was bombarded with e mails and messages as that would be made very public. The one estranging holds all the cards, it takes time for those dumped to take it in, that their child is indifferent to them but it will in tine and their pain is as great as anyone else's. In their case it's all so public...

What we hardly think and do think it neither here nor there. I’ve known most people in my village most of my life and I’d never presume to have the inside story on any family rifts that aren’t directly my own, no matter who puts “their side” of the story out. Closed doors and all.

*is neither here nor there

I always admired Lenny Henry and Dawn French, both famous in their own right, but never a photo or a line of publicity or information about the daughter they adopted.

I think going no contact especially if the parent isn’t told what the causes are, is one of the cruelest things ever to do, however in this case I think he has done the right thing, he has been very clear about a number of things that has upset him recently and they all sound valid and sound like the tip of the iceberg

For his mother to offer to make the brides dress and pull out at the last minute is cruel, likewise to push in and have the first dance with Brooklyn is not only inappropriate but gives a huge message (Get out the way it’s MY son)
I think in my opinion Victoria Beckham has a mental health problem including an eating disorders, She has to be in control

I would imagine all the children have had a very hard time in the glare of publicity A year or so ago there was all sorts of stories about David s relationship with Harper being inappropiate wether it’s was just a newspaper hack or not it must be awful to live constantly in this kind of glare

Brooklyn has made it very clear what has gone wrong, and I think he is wise to go his own way and leave the circus that is his parents lives.

I should add I ve never admired the Beckhams so never followed any stories about them but you can’t really miss this can you ?

I am not sure you can believe everything that you read but it would seem that Victoria doesn't get on with her daughter-in-law. Whether there is any truth in this I don't know but if this is so then I can understand why there is estrangement. My mother-in-law had an issue with me born out of jealousy from the moment we announced our engagement (she was fine before!). Visiting their home became more and more difficult as I would get the blame for everything - son not visiting more frequently (even though at the time because of his job, we lived overseas) etc etc. In the end it was my husband who made the decision to visit even less frequently even though it is not what I wanted as I wanted our children to get to know their grandparents. I do sympathise with anyone going through estrangement, it must be so difficult.

Brooklyn Beckham has gone too far in my view and ‘his truth’ reminds me of the tripe that Prince Harry came out with, in other words very far from the truth.
Saying that his Mother danced inappropriately with him at his wedding amongst other things! I sense his wife is behind all this egging him on and suggesting all sorts of things.Bet that Brooklyn is a weak man just like Harry, with a strong willed wife.

It could well be that the DIL doesn’t get on with Victoria through jealousy you know Newatthis

We will never know, and there isn’t one truth, just the perceptions of those involved translated into a story sensational enough to grip the public. I think going to the press, in whatever shape or form, is the kiss of death to reconciliation. Without ammunition there’s nothing for them to speculate about.

It’s very likely that they don’t really care for each other but a son shouldn’t tell lies about his own Mother.Her other sons are behind her and not their brother.
If I were the Beckhams I would tell Brooklyn that he knows where they are if he wants to contact them and get on and enjoy life with their other sons and daughter.He may eventually come to his senses or not, like Prince Harry.

I agree Oreo. He complains about much of his life being under the spotlight, but has no problem shining that spotlight on his parents to criticise them to the world.

His mother inappropriately dancing with him at his wedding!!! If he's man enough to get married he should have been man enough to walk off the dance floor if there's any truth in it.

a weak man just like Harry and just like Harry he's done himself no favours with his public criticism of his parents.

Does anyone know where Brooklyn gets his money from, has he got a career of any sort? Does he support himself? Also when celebrities marry other celebrities it does quite often but not always fall apart, he is certainly burning his boats there and may well need his family in the future.

His in laws wealth far exceeds his parents Marg so while he's married, I can't see he'll need to support himself.

True, Smileless2012, but the difference being is he had no choice. And the children were thrust into the limelight as soon as they were born. He says he was an anxious child and it must have been so difficult living that life. Yes, money is wonderful to have. Fabulous cars, homes, yachts etc etc. But there is a downside.

Brand Beckham want publicity. They thrive on it. This is obviously not the type of publicity they want.

Brooklyn has had terrible press coverage over the years. Constantly being mocked for his attempts at cookery, photography, modelling etc etc. I think he's just snapped.

Yes REKA the children, not just Brooklyn and I don't think his parents can be blamed for him being mocked by the media.

I never liked David Beckham after his nasty, foul mouthed rant about other celebrities getting honours and him not getting his knighthood at that point. His wife has apparently got everything anyone could wish for and looks thoroughly miserable.

Does anyone care about Brooklyn Beckham's marriage?
I wonder what makes him think they do?

For his mother to offer to make the brides dress and pull out at the last minute is cruel

This completely contradicts statements by Nicola's wedding planner etc at the time re her meetings with the eventual designer up to a year before the wedding. I find it hard to take anything printed as fact, to be honest!

Best thing is shut up and get any "supporters" to shut up, and just get on with their own lives.

That's what I read too Madgran. Perhaps if Brooklyn wants to discredit his mother, he'd be better off sticking to the truth.

He really is like Harry isn't he.

I agree. Why are people so interested in any of these people at all?

A 'showbiz' reporter said on TV today 'I know lots of people, including me, couldn't sleep last night after reading this'. She was serious.

The best thing that Victoria and David Beckham can do is maintain a dignified silence just as the King has done regarding Prince Harry. Washing your dirt linen in public is never a great thing to do.

A diversion from the "Orange Peril", even the serious newspapers are running the story.

I agree Judy. If they wanted to make Brooklyn look bad and there's no reason to think they do, they couldn't do any better than he's done himself.

It's ridiculous. Mind you, here I am joining in!

I read a few months ago that Victoria had the first dance with Brooklyn at the wedding. So this is not new news. If true, I can't imagine what she was thinking; what mother would expect to have the first dance with her son at his wedding? This alone would be a recipe for disaster for a sucessful relationship between MIL and DIL. I only hope it isn't true.
