0:00 It's not just people like Lizzy or the weird pink-haired blue nailed gals who, are, struggling, April,, right?, There's not just the April of the world who are struggling in their family relationships. That's my presumption. It's also people at the upper echelon of society when it comes to money, fame privilege, access, you name it. And that brings me to David Beckham, Victoria Beckham, and their son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nola. And the wife is an ays herself. She comes from a very wealthy family. So I don't think she cares about her husband's money or her parents, her in-laws fame. And this may be part of the problem because Brooklyn Beckham just went jihad on his mom and dad, David Beckham and Victoria. And uh forgive me because he posted it in a written post, so I have to read it. Uh he says he had no, this is page six reporting, he had no choice but to break his silence on his long-standing family

1:02 feud. The mother and the wife do not get along, but it's beyond that. Now we learn. In a lengthy Instagram story statement, he said his parents had been controlling narratives in the press about his family and tried to ruin his relationship with his wife, Nola Peltz Beckham. Uh okay, here is what he wrote. I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed. I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled. I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the

1:49 life I was born into. My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding and it hasn't stopped. My mom canled making Nicola's dress in the 11th hour. Victoria Beckham is a designer now, of course, despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. No idea what that means. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because the terms of the deal then would be initiated. My hold out affected the payday and they have never treated me the same since. During the wedding planning, my mom went so far as to call me evil because Nola and I chose to include my nanny Sandra and Nola's nonie at our table presumably at the wedding because they both didn't

2:42 have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours. Sounds like Victoria was not happy. She called him evil for that. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly that were sent to the press on their orders. Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last summer. My mom hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance, to a romantic love song in front of our 500 wedding guests.

3:13 Mark Anthony called me to the stage where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mom was waiting to dance with me. Instead, she danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. I know it's bad. It's bad. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness and not anxiety and embarrassment. Almost done. My wife has been consistently disrespected, by, my, family,, no matter, how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mom has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable. The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backward.

3:55 I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety and for the first time in my life since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. Whoa. Whoa. Dirty laundry out on the clothes pins on the line. Yeah, I'm literally crying right now.

4:15 What, is What's happening here? I confess I haven't been totally paying attention to this other than I knew Victoria and the new wife of her son do not get along. So, get us up to speed. What What are your thoughts on it?

4:28 I, don't, know., I, was, hoping, you, were going to, pitch, it, to, Will., You want, Will, to, go, first?, Will's, got, first. Here is my thought on it. My thought on it is this is why my husband hates social media because he's like social media has ruined culture. And while I agree that there are moments like this where you see it, there is also good with social media. So that being a caveat, I think that we've we've reached this weird era where it's like we instead of handling things privately and I get that they're celebrities so things are a little different. It's like royalty. But I've gone through stuff with family that was never made public that was kept private and we handled it and relationships were broken and a couple were restored but we didn't air public life our public underwear you know is what this feels like. I don't know where to stand on it and I think it makes the public uncomfortable because

5:19 now the onus is on us to take a side and we don't even know what's going on. So I think that this is where um airing public dirty laundry like this just feels uncomfortable and wrong and we just want it to kind of be private. And I know that celebrities are from a different world, but I don't know. It makes me feel like I'm supposed to take a side and I don't even know what's going on.

5:40 I, mean,, it's, one, of, the, reasons, why,, you know, when when I started become more public, I and then we we had kids, it was very clear to both Doug and to me we would not be putting them out there at all for consumption. We don't post their pictures. You know, to this day, it's very hard to find a picture of my kids on the internet. Like, only one publication did it a long time ago when they were little. And that's by design because we're religious about it. We don't think just because we've chosen to be in the public eye, they should have to do it. Now, the Beckhams went a different way. But I will also say in their defense, they're the Beckhams. I mean, it would have been really hard you know, and I think the same about Tom Brady and Jazelle. Like, what? they're not going to have their kids show up at the Super Bowl and watch Tom Brady, you know, like not going to show have their

6:22 kids show up at the World Cup and watch David Beckham. So, it's like it is hard to maintain the privacy when you're a mega star like those guys are.

6:29 I, agree, to, an, extent., I, also, think, that one of the things that he said in that post that I I read yesterday was about the branding, making your family a brand. And I've even seen small little social media accounts like cute homeschool moms do that where I'm like I don't know if you fully understand that you're creating a brand versus a family and you're having your kid play a part and fit them into this picture. And I think that's the lesson in all of this even for you know us normal little moms is just to be careful about how we represent our families and our kids. And we also think ahead about you know our kids will live the internets forever. So they live with the images that we push out. Um, and I think it is a caution to not make your child your brand.

7:16 Yes., I, never, felt, it, was, important enough to have strangers tell me how cute my kids were

7:22 to, sacrifice, their, privacy,, their anonymity, and their right to grow up without the the public lens on them all the time. Um, obviously things were different in the Beckham family, and you can feel this kid's resentment, Will. Yeah, I can sympathize with everything you guys are saying, but I also kind of look at it and I'm like, is this kid gonna return all the money from his family? Is he going to give up everything that they've given him and all that? Or is he just going to come on social media and start crying about it?

7:49 You know, it feels kind of like a loser mentality. Now, he, can, cuz, he, married, an, era.

7:53 Exactly., It's, like, loser, mentality, in, my opinion where he's coming out and now saying this after all these years and and putting this out there when he feels safe and confident enough and you know everyone's anxiety and stress and all that. That's all the rage now. You know everyone wants to hear about how stretched you are because of all these things. And it's just like you look back in history and think about like actual monarchs and and empires and and family drama within them. And I can't imagine these people were going to the common folk and saying, "Look at all how stressed my my dad made me about these things, you know?" And maybe that's a a weird example, but honestly, like it just feels so fake and nonsensical. Like talking about choosing a side, I have no side because I think they're both just ridiculous people that we shouldn't worry about whatsoever.

8:36 I, kind, of, have, a, side, cuz, I, I, mean, I'm biased obviously because I I have three kids. But

8:42 I, think, you, should, respect, your, mother and father. I mean I even, if, they're, imperfect,, even, if they're doing things that bother you, I think you should respect your mother and father, especially when they're public figures. that stuff he wrote about Victoria Beckham at the wedding was meant to humiliate her

8:59 and, I'm, sure, it, did., I'm, sure, she, was mortified. And I think whatever she's doing, I trust whatever she's doing she's doing it out of like a deep profound love for her son. Like she's maybe not behaving bad well. I can't totally take him at face value, but she seems desperate to have her son in her life, Britt. And maybe she's not handling it perfectly. I I would hope a child would remember that. And even though he's madly in love with the new wife and maybe there's some friction there, like to keep some grace there for the mother and father who raised him and obviously adore him.

9:32 Yeah., And, I, mean,, if, you're, the mother-in-law, note to self, like you probably don't want to jump in on the first dance. I mean, I'm just going to throw that out there. If that actually happened, probably not a good call.

9:43 Not, good., But,, you, know,, we, were, talking about this before we went on the air. The the one thing that I know I know this now I accept the royal family out of this because they're royals. Like everybody comes to them. Everyone's subservient to them. So this is not about Meghan Markle um who behaved very badly as we all know. But in general you as the mother in particular have to make it your job that your son's wife likes you.

10:10 Yep., You, got, to, treat, that, like, a, J, o because he is going to prioritize her over you. And if you make it a contest between the two of you, you'll lose. I'm sorry to say it, but I know it's true. Mine are still young enough that they don't, you know, that's a ways off. But that's human nature. That's that's the way we continue the human race. Of course, he's going to prioritize his wife over his mom. and the moms of the world, we just have to bite our lips and suck it up and pretend if we must that we love this girl in order to keep our son in our lives. Am I wrong?

10:47 No,, you're, so, right., And, I'm, so, I, shout out to my mother-in-law who I know is listening to this who has done the most incredible job of being the most loving mother-in-law and never never causing any issues in our marriage. And she knows her boundary lines. She loves my husband as her son and she loves me as a daughter and has always encouraged and strengthened you know our marriage but has never interfered or meddled to make it where he has to pick one side or another. So many lessons in this topic.
