Luisa Zissman brands Brooklyn Beckham an ‘entitled little f****r’ and says the family he criticised has ‘afforded him his lifestyle’

by

Luisa Zissman harshly criticized Brooklyn Beckham, calling him “entitled,” after he publicly complained that his parents were too controlling.

Former Apprentice contestant, 38, criticized Brooklyn Beckham, 26, while chatting with Anna Williamson on their LuAnna podcast.

Luisa stated that Brooklyn wouldn’t be where he is today without his parents’ wealth, and he wouldn’t have married Nicola Peltz if he hadn’t come from a privileged background.

To be honest, I think he’s quite spoiled and doesn’t appreciate what he has. He’s completely reliant on his parents, and wouldn’t have the life he does without them – he even met his partner through their connections.

I realize that, now that he’s grown up, he likely feels like he was manipulated and used to build the ‘Brand Beckham’ image.

However, he also needs to recognize that the ‘Brand Beckham’ – the public image and upbringing he experienced, whether deserved or not – is what ultimately allowed him to live the life he does.

Anna wondered why Brooklyn would publicly criticize his parents, especially since he’s said he prefers to keep his life private.

She explained that he grew up very privileged, and she believes this is why he often seems entitled – he simply doesn’t realize how different his experiences are from others.

It seems like you’re upset with your parents, and you’re saying you want some space to focus on your relationship. If that’s true, why draw so much attention to the situation with this public statement? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just handle things privately?

Okay, so Brooklyn finally said it! He basically admitted his family always cared more about appearances than his actual happiness. It’s like they were pulling the strings his whole life! But the best part? He says being with Nicola is what saved him. He actually used the words ‘peace and relief’ – can you believe it? Like, she’s the one who finally helped him escape all that anxiety he was secretly battling. It’s just… everything makes so much more sense now! I’m so happy he’s finally found someone who truly understands him and lets him be himself.

He wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

It breaks my heart to do this, but my parents and their advisors keep talking to the media. Because of that, I feel I have to step forward and set the record straight about some of the untrue things that have been published. I’m doing this because I need to share my own perspective and the truth as I know it.

I’ve decided not to try and make things right with my family. This isn’t about being controlled; it’s about finally asserting my own needs and boundaries, which is something I haven’t done before.

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

I grew up surrounded by showy displays on social media, obligatory family gatherings, and relationships that didn’t feel genuine.

I’ve recently witnessed how far some people will go to spread lies in the media, often harming innocent individuals, all to maintain a false image. However, I’m confident that the truth will eventually be revealed.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola have been living in a lavish £11 million Hollywood home for over a year, but reports suggest Nicola is the main owner of the property.

He explained that his parents have consistently tried to sabotage his relationship, starting even before his wedding, and haven’t let up since.

Mom unexpectedly cancelled making Nicola’s dress right before the event, even though Nicola was really looking forward to wearing it. This left Nicola scrambling to find a replacement.

In the weeks leading up to my wedding, my parents constantly pressured me and even offered me money to give up the legal rights to my name. This would have impacted not only me, but also my wife and any children we might have.

They insisted I sign the agreement before my wedding, as that would start the deal’s terms.

‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’  

To make matters worse, he revealed that his mother actually called him “evil” during wedding planning. The reason? He and his wife, Nicola, had decided to seat his grandmother, Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s grandmother at their table, as both women were widows.

‘Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before my wedding, some family members let me know that Nicola wasn’t related to us by blood and therefore wasn’t considered family.

Ever since I began asserting myself with my family, my parents have relentlessly attacked me, both in private conversations and through public statements given to the media at their direction.

It was really hurtful when even my own brothers turned on me online, launching attacks before completely cutting me off last summer. It came so unexpectedly, and honestly, it was a tough time.

My mom unexpectedly cut in during my first dance with my wife. We’d been planning it for weeks and had chosen a special love song.

During our wedding reception, with 500 guests watching, Marc Anthony invited me onstage. I was supposed to have my first dance with my wife, but surprisingly, it was my mother who was waiting to dance with me instead.

Okay, so, she was dancing, right? And she… she started dancing on me. In front of everyone. It sounds ridiculous even saying it, but honestly, I was mortified. I’ve never felt so exposed and just… awful. It was unbelievably humiliating, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. I just… I can’t believe she did that to me.

We decided to renew our vows to make fresh, happy wedding memories, replacing any old anxieties or awkward feelings.

Despite our best efforts, my family has repeatedly shown a lack of respect towards my wife.

My mother has repeatedly invited women I used to know into our family life, and it’s obvious she’s trying to make both of us feel awkward.

Even though things were difficult, we still went to London to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Unfortunately, we ended up stuck in our hotel room for a week, unable to spend the quality time with him that we’d hoped for.

He wouldn’t agree to anything unless it was done at his large birthday party, which would have a hundred guests and cameras everywhere.

He only agreed to meet with me if I didn’t bring Nicola, which really hurt my feelings. Then, when my family visited Los Angeles, they completely avoided me.

‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.

These days, it seems like ‘family love’ is measured by how active you are on social media or how willing you are to interrupt your work to be in family photos. It’s like proving your commitment through posts and appearances, even if it means sacrificing your job.

For years, we’ve made a real effort to attend every fashion show, party, and media event, always presenting a picture of a flawless family.

My wife once asked my mother to help rescue dogs affected by the Los Angeles fires, but my mother said no.

It’s wrong to say my wife controls me. Actually, I’ve been the one controlled for most of my life – by my parents.

I struggled with severe anxiety for most of my life. But since becoming independent from my family, it’s completely gone away.

‘I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.

My wife and I value a simple life, free from public attention and unwanted influence. We simply want peace, privacy, and happiness for ourselves and our future children.
