Trying to understand Nicola Peltz Beckham

It is unusual for both extremes to coexist, at least for it to be common. I want to write her off as a vapid trust fund baby but I also love her strong dedication to her parents, grandmother, siblings.

I don’t know what to make of this chick.

Can we stop with this language? Also, do you understand Brooklyn?

But none of this is grounds for publicly explaining anything, because there isn't that much to explain, and it all seems so petty to the majority of people who are just trying to survive and pay for food and shelter. That is a failure in reading the room by Brooklyn, who is far removed from the trials and tribulations of the average Briton or American.

There is value to dignified silence, even when people make the wrong assumptions about you on social media. I hope one day Brooklyn understands this.

I wish all of them well.

Did his parents control him that much though? He's so young and he's already been a chef, a photographer, a hot sauce entrepreneur, a model...it seems like he's bouncing from "job" to "job" at "job" at random. If David and Victoria were steering his ship, it seems like he would have a more stable path...

He is an unserious dilettante who has never had a real job.

It seems like they indulged his every whim in an effort to find his passion in life. And he was mildly successful at each ONLY because he is a Beckham. He really doesn’t seem to understand the only reason he is not an art school dropout working minimum wage is because of his parents.

+1 he seems like such a dud despite immense resources and connections

His parents turned a sports career into a huge net worth. That doesn't happen on its own. Everyone knows VB is rigid with eating the same meals everyday, never smiling, etc. BB doesn't seem to realize he's been the beneficiary of these efforts when all he's contributed is smiling for some photo ops.

Yes congrats to victoria Beckham for remaining rail thing after 4 kids by eating the same meal daily. What an accomplishment. We are all grateful to her.

Let’s talk about accomplishments. What has Brooklyn or his wife done lately? Or ever?

What do they have to do? They are independently wealthy. Why are we expecting them to become chefs or marriage counselors or artists? They are the modern day version of aristocrats.

I don't personally care what they do.

So we are back to nepo baby layabouts. This is why everyone is enjoying watching the teenage angst meltdown. These aren’t serious people with real problems. They are a distraction.

People who are wealthy AF like them (without having earned it themselves) should act with some grace and humility and not act like spoiled, petulant children. No one has sympathy for them.

I didn’t realize they were all in competition. No one cares what they do. They’re just rich people fighting like poor families do, but more publicly.

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.

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.

Oh even better. He doesn’t need to be part of the family contracts if he doesn’t want to.

No he doesn't and he chose not to. This according to Brooklyn upset D and V as it would have been a better, more lucrative contract if all the kids signed on. Which is fine. They can be disappointed. But to still be moaning about it...let it go. He is 27. He has been an adult for 9 years. Time to grow up.

Its really the lost of control they're mad about. Having a family brand is fine only if you realize your kids are not extensions of you.

That's the thing. Enmeshed families can get pretty peeved if one member decides they need some space.

David and Victoria were both top-notch at the height of their careers. They have spent their life carefully building a brand and supporting causes to make the world a better place. Brooklyn married into a family that seeks to burn this country and the most vulnerable people here and abroad to the ground. I can see why they are concerned for their son AND their brand/legacy.

Okay, but their son didn't choose his family. He may need to strike out on his own. He's not actually required to care one whit about their brand (which is actually his family).

Seems like Victoria and David are controlling. But you can’t control an adult (let alone one with an equally wealthy wife.)

But he does care about the brand because he wants to use it to make money for himself. I guess he’ll be hearing from their lawyers in the future.

If his brand is the actual name his parents gave him, then yes, that’s fair he uses it. Do you want him to call himself Brooklyn Smith?

This isn’t about what he calls himself.

Isn’t it? That seems to be a lot of what Brooklyn’s post was about. The kid has a right to his own name.

Brooklyn didn't really explain what the trademark dispute was about (if he even knows). Some sources say his dad was selling a chunk of one of his businesses and needed Brooklyn to sign off on something. The source also said the deal had no negative implications for Brooklyn. Maybe it did and maybe it didn't, but none of us can really tell from that instagram post and it was muddled with a lot of other family drama that frankly seemed petty. I'm so curious about the trademark issue but we will probably never know the ins and outs of that one.

They're tacky, grasping weirdos. Second only to the Kardashians in their fakeness. Valuable brand my ass. Maybe across the pond, but not in the US.

You can say what you want by they are worth $600 million dollars. That seems valuable to me.

Right? If it was worthless Brooklyn wouldn’t be so mad.

Exactly and I just have to add- they are nothing like the Kardashians! The Beckham brand was built on top of both of their successful first careers (sports and music). They aren't "famous for being famous." They actually had some credibility.

He and his wife probably have nothing to do but ruminate on this kind of stuff. No wonder he is anxious all the time, he's worried about a wedding dress from 2022 and something Marc Anthony said...

Meh. David Beckham is a great soccer player. Victoria Beckham was in a band that had its 15 minutes of fame and is now famous for being married to David and being really skinny.
