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.


Sounds like she is (rightly) worried about the Peltz family taking over the Beckham brand and doing what they want with it.

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.


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?


Then their should be no problem letting he has his name trademark

Maybe the BRF was feeding info secretly to the press (?) but I think they won the PR war by publicly staying quiet.

PR firms should advise their clients to NOT do exactly what this poor kid (and Harry) did.


At least this "kid" is in his 20s. Harry is full grown man suffering from arrested development. Plenty of other chances for Brooklyn to have a few more tries at a "first dance" in his next wedding(s). How many does one need at one reception?



Please stop with this. Harry served in the British Army for ten years. He wasn't always a layabout a la Brooklyn.

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.


They must have known branding (legally) would get complicated once their kids started getting married, but, maybe there is just no way to easily handle it even if you know it could be difficult. The timing for this kind of discussion is terrible. Seems like if each side have attorneys looking after their best interests they could come to some agreement that made business sense and was beneficial for everyone. It's also possible that Brooklyn just didn't want "in" and that infuriated his parents. No way to know the truth at this point. Only way to find out more "real" insight will be if a messy lawsuit ever happens.

This happened before the wedding. His statement makes it seem like some of the strife with his parents is because he wouldn’t sign over his name. That would be an interesting explanation for their fight, especially given how the Beckhams want to appear as if they are a brand and empire.

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 Peltz in his last name? So the trademark is sort of dead anyway…

The signing issue seemed to have happened pre-wedding. They may not have known or believed he was changing his name. He could also return to his original name at any point.

All of it is gross because as you say, it’s his name.

That article also says that Brooklyn and Nicola went for dinner last year with Harry and Megan. Bad choice of people to take advice from.


Yikes, that’s a massive red flag.

Because wealth isn't enough for these vapid young people. They want celebrity more than anything. Did anything know who she was before she married into the Beckham family? Right.


Look I'm perfectly prepared to believe the Beckham parents are narcissistic and image-obsessed, and that Victoria could not stand to be displaced by a young woman her eldest son is besotted with. But the press seems to be coming entirely from the kids, with Brooklyn parroting his wife's concerns. I guess that's what happens when you raise a weak trustfund kid with no mind of his own. Don't be surprised when the weakness of mind is manipulated by another person against you. They're probably all a-holes but I'm inclined to think Nicola is the worst of them.

The press about this estrangement for the last year + has mostly been from the Beckhams. All the articles overwhelmingly paint the Beckhams as innocent and that they have an evil DIL.


So both sides are annoying and have too much time on their hands. It’s so tacky that both sides are airing their dirty and very privileged laundry publicly. It’s entertaining but I’m embarrassed for them
