Just going to send this. That's wrong on her part. He's 26 now and she doesn't need to be owner of it anymore

Absolutely. Having the ownership under 18 makes complete sense. He got married in his early 20s. At that point his parents should not be pressuring him to continue to allow them to own his name/brand.

Victoria should absolutely assign ownership of the trademark to BB. It’s HIS name. At the same time, there’s no brand there… he hasn’t done anything with that trademark. And didn’t he change his name to include PeltzThey in his last name? So the trademark is sort of dead anyway…

they probably figure it is better to hold on to them in case one of his projects pop off. That way they'll have some stake in it

And why shouldn't they? There's nothing stopping him from creating his own brand from the ground up that has nothing to do with his family name, which everyone associates with David and Victoria?

Why should they have a stake in his name if he doesn't want them too? Just because they're his parents? That's ridiculous. He doesn't want the trademark handle by them anymore. That shouldn't have even been an argument between them all.

I don't know enough about branding or contracts related to name trademarks to have any idea what really happened but given how overdramatized and exaggerated the 'first dance' and ' 11th hour wedding dress' stories are I don't doubt this is more of the same.

I am sure David and Victoria were controlling - they are major public figures. But he didn't exactly strike out on his own. He just jumped into a different rich and famous family with controlling people who have a well documented history of treating others poorly.

Yes, when they were children. Brooklyn wasn’t a child when he married so there was no need to continue to own the trademark for his name.

As many others have said, he’s never really done anything. All of his attempts have petered out.

Nicola Peltz's father bragged in 2024 that he was the matchmaker who brought Elon and Donald together. He had them both over for breakfast one day and reintroduced them and encouraged them to work together. Awe, such a great guy.

I’m entertained by the spectacle of it but the nature of this conflict is about a clash of egos and airing dirty laundry like this is a terrible look. BB looks like a pawn, much like Harry has been in Meghan’s game of chess. Only the Harry/meghan/BRF was far more interesting given the insight (however one sided) into the monarchy drama.

The royal family was never trying to control Harry like Victoria/David did. They tried hard to give him space. Don't compare them.

The parallels are obvious. People don't respect people who live in such luxury and have so much privilege complaining about such petty things like a dance at a wedding. Not with the real problem so many face. They aren't heroes.

Who said they are heroes or need to be heroes? The wedding dance was obviously added on to pile until the straw broke the camels back. Victoria being a crazy boy mom is not like Harry and the royal family. Sorry.

The point is that the camels back breaking at all is ridiculous. These are not real problems. These are bored, wealthy people with too much time on their hands. And 99% of the world is going to roll their eyes at a sob story about a nepo baby bride not being the center of attention during every second of her million dollar wedding and the overbearing, inappropriate mother in law. Victoria Beckham isn’t nice? Who would’ve guessed!

They are not real problems to you or the average person. It's obvious an issue to the people in question.

Yes, obviously an issue for shallow, spoiled, uber wealthy brats accustomed to having everything handed to them and getting their own way. Worse than toddlers, they're stomping their feet and crying, "Unfair, mommy!" Pathetic behavior.

So the person on the previous page was most likely right. She wanted to be a Kris Jenner and make a nepo baby empire for her kids. She must have been trying to get him to sign an agreement that she can still have the rights and he won't apply for it himself before the wedding. [/quote]

Sounds like she is (rightly) worried about the Peltz family taking over the Beckham brand and doing what they want with it. [/quote]
Thems the breaks for making your brand your name. Same with why she’ll never leave David no matter how many times he cheats on her.[/quote]

This is also why there isn't that much sympathy for Brooklyn. His parents built an empire he has massively benefited from. If there is any value to the Beckham name it has nothing to do with him or his own hard work and people know that. They aren't going to buy Brooklyn's beer or vodka because who is he?[/quote]

Then their should be no problem letting he has his name trademark [/quote]

The problem is he could dilute or ruin everything they worked for which got him to where he is today. How about a smidge of appreciation?[/quote]
How bout no? It’s his name. [/quote]



That article goes on to say this pertained to a particular deal David Beckham was signing. I don't fully understand it, but it sounds reasonably standard.

I think a Page Six source has it exactly right:

Another insider said that “two things can be true,” pointing out the situation has become intolerable because Peltz can be “crazy” and wants her own way, while Victoria can be “dreadful” — and Brooklyn was stuck in the middle.

It sounds like from the article, it wasn't specifically about who owned the trademark. It was about contracts and Brooklyn refused to sign on. Sounds like he already had control. According to the article, the trademark was for ten years and expires in Dec 2026.

Thats what it comes down to most of the time. If neither wants to be cordial then Brooklyn had to choose.

Obviously Brooklyn would choose his wife. Victoria gravely miscalculated.

But it wasn't the first dance. Is Brooklyn lying?

My kids will also have to pry their trademarked names out of my dead, cold hands.

I don't see any similarities. Kris had nothing of her own before she started making money through her kids. The Beckhams built an empire on their own and probably want to protect it- in part for their kids inheritance, including Brooklyn. Brooklyn and Nicola have no clue what goes into building a business.

Btw the Peltz are hard core MAGA.
