Wow thanks for posting, it's definitely worse than even the Post article

Can someone summarize it? I don’t have Instagram so can’t read it.

Thanks for this. They are now my favorite celebrity couple. Who doesn’t show up to help displaced dogs? For shame Posh

How many displaced dogs did Nicola take in? Your charity can't just rely on your family's goodwill to make you look good.

Do you not understand how nonprofit organizations work? Nicola can use her fame to channel money to it so that they can take care of more dogs. Victoria could be a tiny bit generous to her son’s wife and also use her fame to highlight the good work saving dogs from death

Give me a break. Nicola has plenty of money to save dogs. Why doesn't she get off her lazy butt and do something real?

Saving dogs from euthanasia and matching them to loving homes is real. I would be annoyed too if my MiL who posts about her brand daily couldn’t spare a tweet to help save dogs from death.

Nicola's family are billionaires (plural). Her MIL probably thought it was gross to ask for money when they have SO MUCH

Lots of billionaires do charity work. It doesn't have to be Brand Beckham all the time. THey can use their name for good and also donate, which is what it sounds like Nicola did with the dog euthanasia charity. I know David Beckham is a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, but if Posh does anything charitable, I haven't seen it.

The Peltz family is worth 2x as much. What are they known for?

I'm sure they helped out their kid with a donation to her charity. If the Beckhams didn't, I can understand why Nicola/Brooklyn would be offended.

She isn't a kid. She is a 31 year old woman - this isn't a 3rd grader selling chocolate bars. One of her business partners is Conrad Hilton. I am pretty sure between the Peltz's and Hiltons - they can find the cash to look after all the dogs in LA if they really wanted to! Their charity was performative - and they got backlash for it. Why would David / Victoria want to associate themselves with that.

Exactly. GoFundMe is a non-serious performative charitable endeavor. Nicola certainly has the time and resources to set up a real charity.

And yes the Beckhams are very charitable themselves. When you understand charitable giving and put more of your money and focus towards it, you stop randomly donating to causes, especially when you don't know how the money is actually used. They probably do what many of us do and donate where we feel familiar and comfortable.

Seriously. PP is acting like Nicola had a lemonade stand and mean Posh wouldn’t buy a cup.

When Nicola was publicizing the charity she made inflammatory comments, including "these shelters are digusting." She also accused the shelters of labeling dogs as aggressive so they could be euthanized. She was mean-spirited at best and an amateur at worst ( I lean towards the second, I think she's an undereducated fool). The Beckhams aren't going to attach their name to something like this. I wouldn't even publicly donate to this, and I'm a nobody.

People are ridiculous with this carefully curated nonsense. It’s not wrong to check things out carefully before you lend your name and money to them.

The Married tattoo right on his hand and her name in multiple spots on his neck and other hand are all we need to see to know he is not well.

I don't think he's being abused. I think he's a bit of a simple man, and a person of his generation thinks getting tattoos shows devotion to someone. WE grew up with Johnny Depp and all know how he had "Winona Forever" tattooed and then had to get it changed to "Wino Forever" when they broke up. Johnny Depp was our cautionary tale about getting tattoos of people. Brooklyn grew up with a dad who tattooed his body. So he thinks this is what one does.

Yes but Brooklyn has over 70 tattoos dedicated specifically to Nicola. That is a lot of lasering or cover ups when they break up!

If Pete Davidson can do it, so can he!

Haven't you read that Pete Davidson regrets getting his tattoos and is on a mission to remove all of them, but it'll take 10 years of basically burning off his skin to get them removed.

He also talked about using tattoos as a way to hide. He felt ugly and endured a lot of nasty comments about his looks and was just not in a good place mentally / emotionally and the tattoos were a way to cover himself up and disappear behind them. He wants them gone because he is in a different place now and they are a constant reminder of a bad time in his life. I feel like maybe Brooklyn is similar in that he is filled with angst / anxiety / struggling and the tattoos are a way to try and cope or make Nicola happy or to tell himself this is what he wants or to prove something to himself or Nicola or his parents or the world.

It is a bit ironic that he is so anti the Beckham brand but they are also angry that Victoria didn't use that brand to promote their charity? I have no doubt growing up in a famous home could be overwhelming - the press and paparazzi and all but there are ways to deal with that without lashing out.

I am sure the Beckham life was very controlled. Both David and Victoria are pretty disciplined people given their careers and they have had to manage press very tightly due to their fame and to protect their family.

Brooklyn is an immature man who hasn’t had much responsibility and this feels like a rebellious teen raging against the constraints of parents who had high expectations and ran a tight ship. But rather than becoming his own independent person he just became Nicola’s wife. She seems very similar in personality to his parents- not uncommon to choose someone who is familiar but different. Her family also seems pretty rigid and controlled. He thinks he is making his own decisions but I don’t think he is. He is a weak rudderless man caught between strong women who like to run the show and manage the narrative.

It's funny you say David and Victoria have high expectations - they have three sons who've graduated from HS but not gone to college. None of them need to have a job. The only high expectation I've ever heard the parents have is that their kids have very good manners. The sons all have a ton of tattoos, so it seems the only "tight ship" the parents may have beyond manners is that the kids show up to events for photo ops. Seems like a pretty cushy life to me!

Just btw, for many people the presence or absence of tattoos or a college degree doesn’t automatically confer moral superiority

Who talked about moral superiority? But for a wealthy young person with all the advantages in the world to not have a college degree is unusual. It’s not like his kids have amazing careers instead. They’re just being influencers.
