I know exactly what desperate Victoria Beckham is really up to with her latest ‘heartache’ interview. It must be so heartbreaking for Brooklyn

by

Victoria Beckham‘s son, Brooklyn, and his wife, Nicole, have asked her to stop contacting them directly and to communicate only through their lawyers. He has made this request several times.

Essentially, VB posed for a sad and brooding photoshoot for the Wall Street Journal magazine and publicly discussed her sadness about the ongoing family conflict.

She was wearing one of her own designer suits – they cost over £1,000 – and it felt like a really obvious and tasteless attempt to advertise them.

I’m confused about what Victoria Beckham didn’t understand from Brooklyn’s request that she not mention him or his wife, as he explained it upset them both.

Why is she portraying herself as a heartbroken and devoted mother when she’s actually disregarding what Brooklyn wants by giving this interview to make herself look good?

She likely avoided directly addressing his request by intentionally not mentioning any of her children – her 27-year-old son, Romeo (23, a fashion model), Cruz (21, who wants to be a musician), and 14-year-old Harper – during the interview.

She says, tearfully: ‘All we have ever tried to do was protect our children and love our children.’

Jolly good. But is this the best way of going about it, given Brooklyn’s strictures?

When questioned about whether she felt bad about her children growing up in the public eye – pointing to examples like selling the story of her pregnancy with Brooklyn to a magazine and the constant baby photos – she responded that they’ve always prioritized being the best parents possible and deeply love their children.

She added, perhaps a bit insincerely since she could have addressed the issue if she wanted to repair her relationship with Brooklyn: ‘That’s all I have to say about it.’

Victoria Beckham, who celebrated her 52nd birthday yesterday, is skilled at managing public perception. She could have easily deflected personal questions, or steered the conversation towards her fashion brand. Had she done so, we might have learned more about how she considers the brand successful, despite years of significant debt and financial support – estimated at £500 million from herself and David – before it finally became profitable in 2022.

Honestly, it feels really manipulative to bring up the family drama now, especially since Brooklyn cut ties with his parents just four months ago and asked them to stop talking about him. It just seems like she’s using it all to get attention for herself and build her own brand, and it doesn’t sit right with me.

How it must stick in the craw of Brooklyn and his wife Nicole. Surely Posh can see that.

As a long-time follower, it’s become painfully clear what’s really going on. That Instagram post Brooklyn Beckham made back in January was a huge signal. He basically admitted his family prioritizes promoting their ‘brand’ and sponsorships over everything – even him. It’s frustrating to see, honestly, because it feels like personal values are taking a backseat to the ‘Brand Beckham’ image.

These days, it often seems like ‘family love’ is measured by how active you are on social media or how willing you are to quickly appear for a family photo, rather than genuine connection.

Has she no shame or, at least, self-awareness?

It’s understandably painful for Brooklyn that his mother has reopened old family conflicts, even though his parents both pledged to respect his and Nicole’s marriage and stay out of it.

The only conclusion I can come to is that it’s still Brand Beckham first, loving mum second.
