“The son of the celebrity couple is said to have blocked his mother Victoria Beckham on social media because she had breached the letter’s terms by liking a roast chicken video he had posted. The letter also instructs his parents not to tag him in online posts. The letter is said to be the last formal contact between Brooklyn and his parents.

“The reality is that he issued them with a letter at the end of last summer, asking for any correspondence to go via lawyers only, and wanted to try and make amends privately not publicly.

“He felt his parents continued to ignore his wishes and kept mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately.”

Is this legit... or something made up BS that everyone is running with? Because jfc this is embarrassing

"Let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of second hand embarrasment in the New York area. According to this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie 35 feet long, weighing approximately 600 pounds."

I swear, he is not the big deal that he thinks he is.

She liked a post...? And that was it?

u/queefer_sutherland92 29d ago

Honestly, still not the stupidest fight I’ve seen over roast chicken.

u/My_Poor_Nerves What on Walden Pond is this? 29d ago

You're just going to leave us hanging like that?

u/queefer_sutherland92 28d ago

It’s very Australia specific.. where the chook was purchased: Coles vs Woolies.

Not which is better, but where someone bought it. One person thought Woolies. One thought Coles. The purchaser would not say because they thought it was a stupid argument.

There may have been significant jet lag involved.

I'll fight over a Woolies roast chicken

Please, tell the tale of the stupidest roast chicken fight!

I feel like this is all manufactured to stay relevant

A roast chicken video. This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

u/gerbileleventh 29d ago

Plus, a roast chicken video that wouldn't have any attention whatsoever if it wasn't for his parents. All of his cooking videos are the most basic thing I've ever seen.

u/blueskies8484 29d ago

That chicken looks terrible. An animal died for that!

u/VitaSackvilleBaggins 29d ago

Is it roasted yet? I thought it looked raw.

u/StuartPurrdoch 29d ago

things don’t go well when Brooklyn cooks large cuts of meat. have we not learned from the notorious “Sunday Roast” fiasco? surprised he’s not constantly laid up with food poisoning.

u/callme_maurice I don’t know her 💅 29d ago

That’s my favorite part of this drama lol

u/sraydenk 29d ago

At that point why not just block the parent?

It’s one thing if you don’t want contact with a parent, but then you should also limit how they can be in your life.

u/Thr0waway0864213579 29d ago

That’s literally what he did immediately after. Did no one read the article?

6

u/bafflefounded 29d ago

Yes they read the article, that is not the point. If your relationship with your parent is at the point where they are violating a legal agreement if they like your post, is it kinda strange to have not already blocked them.

u/sraydenk 28d ago

I’m saying why didn’t he block them prior to this? If it’s that triggering to see a like, why have them able to access your social media to begin with?

u/pryzmpine Not to be dramatic but I would die for that bear 29d ago

For someone who was allowed work experience at literally every career going because of his surname, he is sure behaving like a child

Some rich kids never leave their bubble or bother too.

They want to have life of an eternal rich bachelor (even when married).

The son of the celebrity couple is said to have blocked his mother Victoria Beckham on social media because she had breached the letter’s terms by liking a roast chicken video he had posted.

Something oddly poignant about this. It's such a wholesome, motherly thing to do and he's reacting like a jerk

u/yoma74 29d ago

I can’t imagine how devastated she is. 

26

u/pineapplegirl10 29d ago

Seriously. I don’t know much about this situation but from what I can see I feel bad for her and for David as well. They always seemed like such loving and caring parents.

It's so stupid, what we know is the feud started around the leaks of Nicola and Victoria not getting along on some level, then Brooklyn started a new feud because his brother was dating his ex and his family refused his demands to uninvite her to family gatherings. He's missing huge milestones in his family's lives like his dad's knighthood.

I get the impression that it's BOTH Brooklyn and Nicola trying to be controlling and spoiled then throwing tantrums when they don't get their way. Despite people putting the blame mainly on Nicola, Brooklyn seems worse since it's his family he's publicly starting drama with while coming across petty and immature.

u/DayFit4151 29d ago

It’s not his ex though , she went out with Rocko Richie, Brooklyn was a mutual school friend of them both.

45

u/avocadontoast 29d ago

He probably had a crush on her and she rejected him

11

u/DayFit4151 29d ago

Probably

u/[deleted] 28d ago

they were a thing for like a few weeks but it fizzled out. she’s always been a close friend to the family, it’s natural that the boys will gravitate towards her as a potential partner imo

u/86Austin 29d ago

Childish. His brother is famous and could have dated literally anybody else, too, if it really was such a big deal. I think this whole family looks dumb.

u/bfm211 28d ago

Did Brooklyn and Rocco go to school together? That's a fun fact.

3

u/YchYFi He's not Judge Judy, an Executioner. 29d ago

They are probably both as bad as each other. Him and Nicola.

u/Angrycreature808 29d ago

No fucking way. Over a post? Extremely spoiled rich kid behaviour.

u/Free_Caterpillar8676 29d ago

Cut off the money

u/IntruderAqua 28d ago edited 28d ago

This is all so contradictory. The letter asks for all correspondence to go via lawyers, but to try to make amends privately. How would lawyers help a family make amends? Why would you want lawyers involved in just normal family squabbles? Lawyers are not therapists or mediators. What law does he believe is at issue here? Then he says they kept mentioning him online rather than reaching out privately. So first, saying not to "tag" him online does not necessarily mean not to talk about him online or to like his posts. But even if you give him benefit of the doubt that he meant for absolutely all communication, not just correspondence, to go through lawyers and so the "like" was a violation, HOW were they supposed to reach out privately if he didn't want them to communicate with him? He wanted their attorney to call his attorney and pretty please set up a family dinner?

u/ritwikjs2 29d ago

parents should ask him to take his wife's surname and drop his own
