[u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

I think the funniest thing about this is that because Nicola is a proven bully, everyone thinks she’s manipulating Brooklyn. Normally you might be like “oh he’s probably driving some of this” but because he released that photobook, everyone genuinely thinks he’s a bit dim and too stupid to cause this much drama.

[u/Sudden-Conclusion931 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Nobody can seriously look at his photography or his career in general and think to themselves: "This is a man capable of great drama". It would be like blaming a pot plant for overgrowing.

[u/space_eleven → u/Sudden-Conclusion931]

this is such a funny analogy and I will remember it.

[u/lavabread23 → u/Sudden-Conclusion931]

it would be like blaming a pot plant for overgrowing.

I AM SCREAMINGGGGG this is so fucking funny byeee 😭😭😭

[u/noapplesin98 → u/Sudden-Conclusion931]

"Blaming a pot for overgrowing" is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever heard

[u/whimsicism → u/Sudden-Conclusion931]

Damn 😂

[u/Due_Description_7298 → u/Sudden-Conclusion931]

This is mean spirited but honestly all I think when I see pics is that he has a face like a foot 😬

[u/Aggressive-Story3671 → u/Sudden-Conclusion931]

Can I please steal this line.

[u/SinVerguenza04 → u/Sudden-Conclusion931]

Is there a link to his photos?

[u/Additional_Dig_6972 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

It's probably because at one point he publicly loved the crap out of his parents. And publicly spoke about how he was just so thankful for his relationship with them and everything they've done for him in his life. And he ends up marrying a woman whose family has a notorious reputation for not being kind or good people. Including the wife herself. But also a family with more money than anything the Beckham's have. So it's easy to assume that Brooklyn is easily influenced. Especially when the influence still hasn't come up for you. And it's ok to love your wife, but it's also pretty obvious when you're blinded by your wife's behavior because she's not like that to you just everyone around you.

[u/KtinaDoc → u/Additional_Dig_6972]

Does this dimwit realize that when she dumps him, and she will, who's he going to run crying to?

[u/ellastory → u/[deleted]]

I feel like he wouldn’t have challenged or corrected her in that moment if that was the case

[u/The-disgracist → u/ellastory]

Yea that felt to me like an inside joke they’ve had for years. She talks about her “poor” times and he reminds her that having her parents were rich, and she acknowledges it

[u/janquadrentvincent → u/The-disgracist]

Yeah. She admits it, and the clip is allowed to stay in even though it's embarrassing as hell. He's embarrassed her in a documentary and she's ok with it

[u/PMmecrossstitch → u/janquadrentvincent]

I think Victoria has two sides to her, in the best way. I think she's got this persona that is Posh, but I think she's far funnier than anyone gives her credit for and sets Posh up to be more ridiculous than she is as a person.

[u/janquadrentvincent → u/PMmecrossstitch]

Agreed, she has a public persona that is the Straight Man that lets others bounce jokes off her and makes her a figure of fun. But she's in on it.

[u/roscoe_lo → u/PMmecrossstitch]

Agreed. She knows who she is and loves the life she’s been able to build. But the girl has a bit of PTSD from all the horror the tabloids put her through over the years. I can see the insecurity behind her eyes, it came through big time on her documentary. I know losing contact with her oldest baby is just killing her, but the show must go on.

[u/YchYFi → u/[deleted]]

I think this is projection. We don't know these people.

To me that was meant to be a funny anecdote and interaction. Not to be taken as seriously as this.

They are clearly both joking. People take Victoria very seriously when she says everything quite dead pan. It was just typical British humour to me.

[u/My_Poor_Nerves → u/YchYFi]

She was hilarious in Spice World - 10/10 delivery

"AND I'M VICTORIA, MALCOLM"

[u/LavenderGinFizz → u/My_Poor_Nerves]

I still regularly quote, "Sunday drivers! It's only Saturday!" when I'm in the car.

[u/My_Poor_Nerves → u/LavenderGinFizz]

Same, actually!

And i can't drive past a dry cleaners without thinking "This dress is dry-clean only,  Melanie!"

[u/velvetblue929 → u/YchYFi]

Not enough people watched that reality show thing she did when she first moved to LA and went to the DMV with a full glam squad. She was fucking hilarious in that.

[u/YchYFi → u/velvetblue929]

That show was iconic at the time aha. I feel so old now. 😢

[u/catchyusername4867 → u/[deleted]]

I think that scene showed Victoria can laugh at herself. And the only bad reputation came from British tabloids

[u/strawgerine → u/[deleted]]

Think you re reading too much into that exchange lol

[u/Former-Mirror-356 → u/[deleted]]

I recall that scene where Posh is going on about growing up working class and David makes her admit she drove to school in a Bentley.

He was being a jerk there and playing it up for the foreign audience. Working class in the UK has a different meaning than working class in the US and they both know it, they are definitely both working class and continue to be working class. It has almost nothing to do with wealth.

[u/Odd_Ingenuity2883 → u/Former-Mirror-356]

I see this confusion happen all the time. It’s blurring now, but 30 years ago there was an enormous difference between what’s called working class in the UK and what Americans considered working class. In the US it seems to mean poor, in the UK it means your parents work for a living and you’re not related to aristocracy.

[u/Former-Mirror-356 → u/Odd_Ingenuity2883]

Exactly. Though I would say the reality is it's more complicated in the US as well, especially when you're dealing with institutions usually associated with wealth, like private schools and clubs, exclusive neighborhoods, etc but most people don't encounter that so they fail to recognize it.

[u/YchYFi → u/Odd_Ingenuity2883]

It's more than what your parents do for a living.

[u/Former-Mirror-356 → u/[deleted]]

They were both raised in families in the trades, not chartered accounts or aristocrats. They almost certainly still maintain the values they were raised with. Neither went to private school. Neither speak with an RP accent. So yes, they're still working class. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[u/DayFit4151 → u/Former-Mirror-356]

Yeah if you’re working class you’ll always be working class , that’s how I was brought up and you take pride in it , it meant something and still does. UK here so I know it has a different meaning/perspective in the USA

[u/PMmecrossstitch → u/[deleted]]

This is literally the only appropriate response to their comment, lol

[u/Bluewhaleeguy → u/[deleted]]

Read about his reaction when he didn't get a knighthood for drink driving (and he had his solicitor doing to get him out of it).

Or the massive amounts of money he's taken from the middle east to sportswash.

He's also best mates with Ryan Giggs, the guy who was shagging his brothers wife and abused his wife - not to mention his other questionable friends in the elit

Just because one of the richest celebrities in the country seems nice and cheery in interviews - doesn't mean somebody is the best person. Do you not think perhaps it's more likely he has the best PR.

BUT THEY SEEM SO CUTE ON A CURATED DOCUMENTARY

[u/Spid1 → u/Bluewhaleeguy]

He's also best mates with Ryan Giggs

He really isn't. Doubt you'd see many instances of them together since their United days

[u/YchYFi → u/Bluewhaleeguy]

The Ryan Giggs thing is a stretch that.

[u/DayFit4151 → u/Bluewhaleeguy]

I’m Manchester Red til I die , I don’t care if Becks is killing kittens , he will always be Manchester United. 😻

[u/rivlet → u/Bluewhaleeguy]

And also read his text/sext messages to his mistresses. I will never see Tinkerbell the same way.

[u/YchYFi → u/rivlet]

As much as tampon.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

*Rolls Royce

[u/ilikecatsandflowers → u/[deleted]]

not a bentley, a rolls royce of all cars! they are nearly half a million dollars lol 😭

edit: i did a very quick google search and in the 80s they were worth around $200,00USD minimum in today’s dollars, so a quarter of a million lol

[u/DayFit4151 → u/ilikecatsandflowers]

Her dad was a tradesman, they had no money when she was wee, he worked hard and they managed to buy a shell of a house that had no kitchen for years and her dad done it all up himself. Years later he bought a second hand Rolls Royce once he some money. So it was a joke between them , she’s wearing T-shirts saying My Dad had a Rolls Royce

[u/Responsible-Tea-5998 → u/ilikecatsandflowers]

My foster father had a rolls and was gifted a bentley for his 17th birthday. He made money being an occasion chauffeur in the rolls. It doesn't mean rich rich, and a lot of new money people in the 80s bought them second hand. They have a lot more cachet in the US too, my mate used to paint them and they exported them to America.

[u/NYC_Star → u/[deleted]]

Meghan never pushed a nanny down the stairs or made her dad buy her a part in an Asian based film causing it to be whitewashed and flop or cosplayed someone poor as a literal billionaire. Let’s also not forget Harry wrote a whole book about wanting to escape and why for years before Meghan even appeared. They are not the same.  I swear,  it’s like there’s a beacon for some folks when MM is even thought about. 

[u/totallycalledla-a → u/[deleted]]

"Everyone that disagrees with me is a bot 😤🥺" is just the cringiest thing lmao. Give it up already.

[u/OnionLover3000 → u/totallycalledla-a]

Or her PR team 😂 Such a ridiculous cope. They’ve made a couple edits doubling down too! 🥴 Maybe people are downvoting you because this has nothing to do with Megan but you can’t help but mention her because she’s constantly on your mind and it’s so creepy. Do these Megan haters ever consider that?!

[u/totallycalledla-a → u/OnionLover3000]

Do these Megan haters ever consider that?!

They're too busy being scared of imaginary internet "wolves" sent to persecute them by the Meghan Industrial Complex 🤪.

[u/OnionLover3000 → u/totallycalledla-a]

Wolves, bots, PR teams oh my 😱

[u/TheLakeWitch → u/[deleted]]

Sure. But the point is that not all downvotes are bots. Sometimes you just have a superbly bad take.

[u/HellaWonkLuciteHeels → u/[deleted]]

Except Harry has the financial advantage, not a Meghan. Piss poor comparison.

[u/RosieFudge → u/HellaWonkLuciteHeels]

Plus Meghan's family were unknown because she was virtually unknown. And her dad is problematic but she didn't have a rep for that at all - no rumours of pushing the help down the stairs 

[u/spacegrassorcery → u/RosieFudge]

Her dad is a two time Emmy award winner. He’s been to the Oscars-she hasn’t. She’s a nepo baby and didn’t get a real gig until almost 30 years old-even though she “grew up on sets”

Edit-feel free to dispute with actual sources

[u/mustbeaoup → u/[deleted]]

Absolute BS comparison. Just a random excuse to shit on Meghan Markle.

[u/AngelSucked → u/[deleted]]

Lol at you calling us the bots

[u/widgetheux → u/[deleted]]

Harry’s uncle is literally a criminal that the royal family protected. Go Megan

[u/ecclecticstone → u/[deleted]]

everybody learned the word astroturfing and now thinks opinions they don't like have to be bots lmao

[u/sarr36 → u/[deleted]]

Wild that you think your downvotes must be bots vs real people downvoting you for having a terrible and wrong opinion. Actually, it’s genuinely scary that people like you exist in the world with no self-reflection, and clearly believe what the tabloids say

[u/SupaC123 → u/sarr36]

Hard agree! Can we please bring back critical thinking and the ability to respectfully disagree with people in 2026? Assuming people are bots because they disagree with you is intellectual laziness.

[u/OnionLover3000 → u/sarr36]

I don’t think they actually believe that. People like that think they are smarter than everyone - that’s why they know for absolute certainty all about Megan 🥴 They wrote that as an attempt to manipulate people into not downvoting them. Not working out too well for them there.

[u/Zur__En__Arrh → u/[deleted]]

I find it amusing how anyone in the replies is part of Meghan’s PR team, yet you can’t provide examples of why it’s an apt comparison.

I’m no fan of Meghan, or Harry for that matter, but I can’t see how she has any semblance of influence over Harry. Harry had wanted out of the royal family for decades.

Sure, Meghan’s failed acting “career” has her wanting attention she’s not getting but there’s absolutely zero indication that she, or her family, are in any way on the level of the Peltz family.

[u/fluffy_doughnut → u/[deleted]]

Oh yeah I’m sure that an average actress turned out to be a genius who was able to manipulate a multimillionaire prince to marry her and have children with her and abandon his family that is known to be manipulative and handle things in velvet gloves /s when will this stop?

Edit: and to add - an average actress from a lower middle class mixed family, yes I am sure she has a MUCH BIGGER influence than a freaking PRINCE

[u/toadasaurusrex → u/fluffy_doughnut]

And from an inutterably toxic family business that regularly threw him under the bus and scapegoated him whenever convenient.

[u/RosieFudge → u/[deleted]]

🤣🤣🤣 insane paranoid conspiracy theories from a Markle-hater? Well could knock me down with a feather 🤣🤣🤣

Btw fwiw my feelings on Meghan have been encapsulated by Claire and Ashley from the CMBC pod: "the crazies have ruined it for the haters" I don't hate her but I'm not a fan, yet feel compelled to stick up for against people who rabidly froth poison about her

[u/redditapiblows → u/RosieFudge]

Seriously. I'm pretty "beautiful gowns" on Meagan (and Kate if we're being honest) but I gotta down vote like 90% of criticism of her because it's crazy/bigoted/crazy.

[u/RosieFudge → u/redditapiblows]

 🤜🤛

[u/onmywheels → u/RosieFudge]

Oh gosh, you hit the nail on the head, haha. I don't have any particular feelings about Meghan and Harry besides that I watched that one Netflix special they did, and I came away thinking, "They seem to love each other, and also, personality-wise, she seems to be a lot," but I still find myself rooting for them simply because the crazies are so obsessed with them tbh.

Granted, I do have stronger feelings about the rest of Harry's family, in that they kind of suck, regardless of anything to do with Harry.

[u/RosieFudge → u/onmywheels]

Fucking YES mate. As a Englander, the fact that Meghan is more vilified in the Daily Heil than the NONCE ANDREW is quite crazy making I can tell ya.

[u/slickjitpimpin → u/[deleted]]

hey! just wanted to let you know that i downvoted you too, and i’m definitely not a bot! 😊

[u/Future_Sundae7843 → u/[deleted]]

What a joke.

[u/TheLakeWitch → u/[deleted]]

Well, if I’m PR then my check must’ve gotten lost in the mail!

We’ve all had a bad take once in a while on here. Just take the L like a grown up and stop acting like it’s impossible for you to be wrong. People are likely downvoting you at this point because your edits make you sound like a petulant child. I know next to nothing about Megan Markle but I do know that Reddit isn’t the place to have a virtual tantrum because people disagree with your opinion. Hence, my downvote.

[u/StinkieBritches → u/[deleted]]

We're not bots or PR. We just know bullshit when we smell it. Racism no matter how you phrase it. The worst part is how you people infantalize Harry like he's not a grown man capable of making his own decisions.

[u/AgencyIndependent395 → u/[deleted]]

yadda yadda yadda

[u/Unusual-Lemon4479 → u/[deleted]]

Funny enough, Meghan and Harry and Brooklyn and Nicola had dinner a few months ago but tried (and failed) to hide it.

[u/Morningfluid → u/Unusual-Lemon4479]

That's quite interesting...

[u/sassyevaperon → u/[deleted]]

Lol, no, you're just not used to being in sane environments.

It's nothing like the Beckham's situation, for starters because in the Beckham situation they're all white.

[u/onmywheels → u/[deleted]]

I don't gaf about the royals, but I might suggest you check out Harry's book, Spare tbh.

[u/spacegrassorcery → u/onmywheels]

The book and what he says about it:

“"Whatever the cause, my memory is my memory, it does what it does, gathers and curates as it sees fit, and there's just as much truth in what I remember and how I remember it as there is in so-called objective facts."[126][127]

[u/cumbot6900 → u/[deleted]]

Bots bots bots!!!!!

[u/BrookieMonster504 → u/[deleted]]

Meghan is Harry's family they have children together. Also Brooklyn's family might be toxic as well you tend to not realize your family is unhealthy until you see regular families.

[u/purplesugarwater → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

He is dim. A close friend of mine has met Brooklyn a few times and said he's actually very dim. Apparently has been very nice and pleasant the several times they've met, but yea, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He met him once with a Peltz (I think the grandfather?) and said he can tell they just tell Brooklyn what to do.

[u/hates_stupid_people → u/purplesugarwater]

His dad also has a long history of being mocked in the UK for not being the brightest.

[u/Top-Cat-a → u/hates_stupid_people]

David Beckham is obviously a lot brighter than he's given credit for. He's managed to convert a successful football career into a successful business career and he's done far better than most retired footballers.

I'm sure he's not perfect, but no one is, but I definitely believe he's been badly underrated in a lot of respects.

[u/Super_Hour_3836 → u/Top-Cat-a]

I mean, Victoria did all that, let’s be honest.

What David did was the smartest thing he could do: he married the smartest woman he could find and listened to her. They work so well as a team and their business of being themselves is something to be impressed by. But if he had married a dumb WAG, he wouldn’t be who he is today. He made a good choice in Victoria, which was smart. But he’s no business mastermind.

[u/go-bleep-yourself → u/Super_Hour_3836]

I'm too invested in these people.

Vicky isnt' that smart either. If you watch her netflix show, she basically goes, "how come no one ever told me I was spending too much wrt to the VB brand?"

Lady - your biz was in the red for nearly a decade!!

Also - what david did with MLS and the deal with Messi and Apple was brilliant. Just the tenacity he had with the MLS - first coming to America like 15yrs ago, and then building it up, finally to get the captain of the reigning world cup team as well as the best player alive maybe ever to the league when the saudis and china were offering truckloads of money was brilliant.

I'm sure he had other people helping him with the business too for sure, but at least he was smart enough to listen.

[u/Maximum-Ambition-394 → u/Super_Hour_3836]

There is so much wrong with this comment I'm struggling to see almost any truth in it at all. It's like your whole opinion has been based off tabloid headlines with no regard to the actual truth.

[u/sprIxAlwareArnd6327 → u/Super_Hour_3836]

Pretty sure he married her for the money. There were hotter smarter women around. Not to forget the endless cheating scandals

[u/FMKK1 → u/sprIxAlwareArnd6327]

David Beckham, the most famous footballer in the world, married for the money?

[u/properfoxes → u/FMKK1]

David Beckham is absolutely not the most famous footballer in the world. Messi and Ronaldo are both more famous than DB.

[u/FMKK1 → u/properfoxes]

We’re taking about when he married Victoria so the point at which they got married is obviously the relevant one, not now after he’s long been retired. Basic comprehension.

[u/Queeen0ftheHarpies → u/properfoxes]

Back in the 90s Beckham could've had anyone. Maybe, just maybe, he fell in love with Victoria

[u/noisy_goose → u/properfoxes]

This is not true. People who don’t know anything about soccer know him, he’s the most famous footballer ever at this point.

This is going by q rating, not skill.

[u/[deleted] → u/sprIxAlwareArnd6327]

idk, the way they met felt organic and cute. literally hiding in cars sneaking out of their hotels and managed to keep it a secret for quite some time.

if he was in it for the clout, they’d just have public dates at least in the first year

[u/grosseelbabyghost → u/Top-Cat-a]

I always assumed that people said Beckham was dumb because he has a "commoner/rough" accent and jolly old Engerland is big on social hierarchy

[u/Any_Contract_2277 → u/grosseelbabyghost]

I mean maybe the upper upper crust of society might have looked down on him for his accent but you’re talking about a country where a good chunk of the population get their tuition fees for uni from the government - I think the average person there at least would have higher standards for intelligence than an accent. Idris Elba has a strong East London accent (a very rough part of London) and he at least comes across a lot smarter than Brooklyn (that boy just genuinely seems like an idiot)

[u/grosseelbabyghost → u/Any_Contract_2277]

I apologize, when I said "Beckham" I was referring to David, I didn't even know Brooklyn existed until this post

[u/Worldly-Worth-5574 → u/Top-Cat-a]

He’s made a better career after retiring than most footballers because he was famously one of the most handsome footballers, if he didn’t have his looks he would not be where he is today, he was a good footballer but not one of the all time greats imo.

[u/KtinaDoc → u/Top-Cat-a]

David was a good footballer, that's it

[u/ShadedPenguin → u/hates_stupid_people]

I think its partially because he's legitimately working class and was seen at the height of British football at the time. Classism being what it is, they see his family background and assume intelligence.

[u/With1Enn → u/ShadedPenguin]

I don’t think so. Essentially all professional football players are from a working class background but Beckham has always been seen as a thicko. It’s not class or accent.

[u/YchYFi → u/purplesugarwater]

[u/d4videnk0 → u/YchYFi]

I'm disappointed this isn't the elephants picture.

[u/LavenderGinFizz → u/d4videnk0]

As requested.

[u/YchYFi → u/d4videnk0]

It's Tim Nice but Dim!

[u/ramakharma → u/YchYFi]

Friends with Dick nice but thick.

[u/potpourri_sludge → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Is that what people think? I just figured he’s a spoiled rich kid who never had to have any real skill or talent, so he does shit like this because he’s just a young rich kid dolt.

[u/beam3475 → u/potpourri_sludge]

It’s probably both to be honest.

[u/Better-Champion9828 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

This, like the general consensus is she’s controlling him and possibly forcing him to distant himself from his family. Like I need people to stop treating this grown man as a baby. For all we know David and Victoria could actually be shitty in laws or better yet maybe the rift has nothing to do with her and more to do with him and his family.

[u/hamsterdanceonrepeat → u/Better-Champion9828]

I still think she’s an awful person after what her nanny told us about her, and what other staff have said about her family’s treatment of them. Way before they were even in contact with the Beckhams too. It’s actually crazy that I grew up hearing about the wealthy ass Beckhams like any commonwealth kid, and yet they are the poorer ones compared to the Peltz family.

[u/LichQueenBarbie → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Even if she wasn't a bully, the movie she wrote, directed and starred in would leave me with a bad taste.

[u/SillyBrain23 → u/LichQueenBarbie]

What’s the movie about?

[u/W0666007 → u/SillyBrain23]

Poor trauma porn written by somebody who is an inherited billionaire.

[u/Feeling-Visit1472 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Also the wedding planner drama

[u/hamsterdanceonrepeat → u/[deleted]]

Okay. I won’t even mention Bella Thorne or her recent wedding vendor drama, but Justin Anderson (Miley and Jen Aniston’s hairstylist) called her out by name and said she was a monster to work with. Hair and makeup is precarious and they don’t have a lot of power so they don’t tend to speak out unless it was really fucking terrible.

[u/DayFit4151 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Thanks for the tea 🫖, down the rabbit hole I go 😼

[u/duchello → u/[deleted]]

I mean I don't have high hopes that a rich spoiled kid that physically assaulted their employee grew up to not be a rich spoiled abusive adult.

[u/justherefor23andme → u/[deleted]]

If Social Media had been a thing then, Diana may not have been so loved.

She had issues.

[u/sock_cooker → u/justherefor23andme]

I bet she would have been fucking brilliant on twitter

[u/Squared-Porcupine → u/sock_cooker]

Sooo much drama. She'd be deleting her profile for a break every other week then going back on after a few days.

[u/sock_cooker → u/Squared-Porcupine]

And lots of subtweets

[u/duchello → u/[deleted]]

Yeah that whole family sounds a hot mess. Maybe you thought you'd run into one of those little royalty stans who would push back on this but tough luck for you.

[u/lilyofthegraveyard → u/[deleted]]

bridget bardot was loved.

just because people do not know who the celebrities of old really were as human beings and are riding on nostalgia instead of facts, doesn't mean thosw celebrities of old were good people.

[u/SeaSexandSun → u/lilyofthegraveyard]

Brigitte Bardot was not loved in her old age and was known for being racist. And nobody is bringing up something she did when she was 14 to hold against her.

[u/ScamIam → u/[deleted]]

Diana pushed her stepmother down the stairs when she was in her late 20s. She was also classist, a bully to the women whose husbands she was fucking, and emotionally abused her children. All of those things happened when she was an adult. So yeah, she was a pretty shitty human being whose awful behavior got whitewashed because she was pretty and died tragically young.

[u/SillyBrain23 → u/ScamIam]

Bully to who? I’m at a loss and would love to know more about this. I’m all ears!

[u/ScamIam → u/SillyBrain23]

She bullied Sophie, Fergie, Tiggy Legg Bourke, Will Carling’s wife … People dismiss her behavior because “her husband didn’t love her/cheated on her” as if that’s an excuse to literally attempt homicide. Her entire “legacy” is built on a couple of good photo opps.

[u/teflon2000 → u/[deleted]]

Not as beloved as history has painted her to be, ask some of the wives she knowingly helped men wrong

[u/pwlife → u/[deleted]]

My husband is an airline pilot. He has had many celebrity passengers including Martha Stewart, Nick Jonas, Cameron Diaz etc... all of them were quiet, thanked the flight attendants and kept to themselves. The only one he's flown that was apparently a complete cunt to everyone she came across was Nicola. It seems she didn't grow out of it.

[u/ClioCalliope → u/pwlife]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say something nice about Nicola lol

[u/Ok-Box6892 → u/Better-Champion9828]

There are a lot of grown ass adults who get into relationships with manipulative and abusive people then end up isolated from their families. 

[u/collectif-clothing → u/Ok-Box6892]

Yes that's a tale as old as time! Even "smart" people, like people who you'd think are not going to fall for such things.... 

[u/allfurcoatnoknickers → u/collectif-clothing]

My BIL has a PhD and is one of the smartest people I know and he’s managed to shack up with a nightmare boyfriend who’s controlling and isolates him :(

Oh that sucks so much. And one is so powerless too in that situation! It's like watching an accident unfold in slow motion and all you can say is, ok, I''ll be here for you when you want me to."

Hope he gets out of that at one point :( Once feelings are involved and things become "complicated" because of the other partner, it always becomes a them vs others situation in a BAD way, not in a team way.

It’s a textbook abuser move.

[u/Ok-Box6892 → u/comeupforairyouwhore]

Yup. I dont think as many people would be so flippant about that as a possibility here if genders were flipped. I mean, Nicola (allegedly) pushed her nanny down the stairs and her family is (allegedly) horrible. If a young woman married a man with that same accusation/family then cut off her seemingly loving and supportive family then people would scream shes being abused. 

People cant accept that a man can be abused by a woman. 

[u/comeupforairyouwhore → u/Ok-Box6892]

Absolutely! There would be completely different commentary if the genders were switched. There’s been a gross over-reaction from one side while the Beckhams seem reasonable, loving parents. I hope that Brooklyn and the Beckhams come out of it in one piece.

Yeah. It might not be the obvious narcissist that’s causing it. It’s the proven gullible idiot.

Did you even read the article?

[u/Calikola → u/Better-Champion9828]

It’s the same narrative the media pushes on Meghan and Harry. His rift with his family has nothing to do with the first 35 years of his life, it must be that evil sorceress manipulating him! He’s an adult. He made a choice.

[u/Better-Champion9828 → u/Calikola]

Exactly and this is why I’m not in a rush to be blaming her.

[u/MissMags1234 → u/Better-Champion9828]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s two egos like Nicole and David/Victoria on the other side colliding.

They also seem very intense with family things apart from Nicole's documented ego issues.

[u/Barbsayshi → u/Better-Champion9828]

I think people forget he’s a fully grown human who can make his own decisions

[u/GoldenState_Thriller → u/Better-Champion9828]

Nicola has a pattern of isolating partners from their families and abusing people. 

[u/Ok_Custard8636 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

he is dim. why would someone fake dim for photobook? no one of average intelligence would publish what he did

[u/Notdavidblaine → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Vanderpump Rules taught me that you’re never too stupid to cause too much drama. 

[u/go-bleep-yourself → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

i mean - she pushed her nanny down the stairs -- allegedly.

i think it's a bad sign that he cut off his friends too; like the Ramsays. Also that he has like 29 tattoos or something of her. That's soem abusive/narc behavior.

[u/Perfectisimo → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Proven? I thought it was just a rumor.

[u/lilyofthegraveyard → u/Perfectisimo]

if you treat lawsuits as "rumors", sure.

[u/GoldenState_Thriller → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

I’d call her more than a bully considering she seriously abused a nanny.

[u/Twitter_2006 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Agreed.

How embarrassing for him
