Brooklyn Beckham Is Not Broken Enough For You
Brooklyn Beckham is being torn apart online for daring to… be emotional?
For marrying rich?
For being a man who doesn’t weaponize silence like his father?
While his mother, Victoria Beckham — aka Posh Spice, aka the high priestess of performative pr
floats above it all on a cloud of beige tailoring and public adoration?
Nope. Not today. Not on my watch
Tihis Brit Pop Queen of Chaos has less muck on her then the Gallagher boys after a Oasis tour annouincment
What’s happening to Brooklyn is familiar. Painfully familiar.
What It’s Like to Be the Child of a Covert Narcissist
We only believe male victims when their lives are visibly in ruins.
Brooklyn’s real crime? Calmly refusing to play along.
I would know—I was raised by the same personality type.
The Unbelievable Male Victim
Everything looks perfect from the outside: well-dressed, well-spoken, emotionally aloof but “charming in public.” Behind closed doors? Emotional abuse, family manipulation, total isolation. And when I finally walked away, everyone says it’s on me.
Because you respect your mom. love your mom cherish your mom. They did their best. They made sacrifices. That is always the narrataticve- no matter how abusive destructive or malicious Mom may be
So when Brooklyn Beckham sets boundaries and says, "This doesn't feel like love" the internet mocks him. Why? Because he's calm. He's stable. He's married.
In a culture that only believes trauma when it's loud, chaotic, and Instagrammable,
he wasn't broken enough.
We Only Believe the Right Kind of Pain
This isn't new. This is a pattern:
Johnny Depp
believed only when there was audio on and substance abuse ws always an excuse
whhen questioned about his own behavior. He cries with sunglasses on claiming sober now. Sober has not been in the room with Jonny since about 1979 (which is way before Amber was even born)
Buuuuut
Ya just love a redemption arcccc- which brings us to
Britney Spears
believed because she shaved her head and lost custody.
She is currently redeeming herself by running to Mexico and taking the son she did not raise on drunken escapades.
Brooklyn Beckham
dismissed because he's just... stable?
If Brooklyn had a live meltdown, you'd rally around him.
But because he said, "My mom was controlling and it hurt me," you call him dramatic.
Victoria Didn't Sacrifice Her Career. She Sacrificed Her Kids.
Let’s kill the myth: Victoria didn’t give up a thriving career.
She barely sang wasn’t known for her dance moves and the Spice girls coulda been the Lip Sync Girls.
Her fashion label flopped more than once and was bailed out by David.
Her entire persona is built on coldness and control.
That’s not resilience. That’s aesthetics over empathy.
Her Diet Is Not Health.
It’s Ritualized Deprivation
Victoria has reportedly eaten the same thing for 25 years: grilled fish, steamed veg.
No oil. No joy.
From a nutrition POV?
Lack of variety = gut and hormone issues
Food rigidity = disordered eating flag
No pleasure = psychological depletion
But because she packages it in couture?
It’s deprivation with good lighting.
David Wasn't Allowed to Cook in His Own Castle
David Beckham loves cooking. It brings him joy.
He’s said that he wasn’t allowed to cook in their home because Victoria didn’t like the smell.
Imagine:
You are an award winning athlete and multi million dollar entrepreneur
You buy an actual palace
But your own Queen banned you from using the stove.
That’s not a preference.
That’s control.
Now apply that to raising children.
Controlling Behavior in family Branding
Victoria doesn’t yell. She curates.
She’s not chaotic. She’s composed.
That’s what makes her dangerous.
People like that:
Weaponize silence
Demand emotional uniformity
Erase you under the weight of the brand
It’s not about being a bad mom. It’s about being the kind of mom who requires you to disappear to keep the peace.
Nicola Was the Disruption
Nicola Peltz broke the spell. She’s richer than the Beckhams. Prettier than their brand. And completely uninterested in playing the image game.
So what does Victoria do? Posts a video of Nicola teetering on sand in wedges oil her birthday
Ya gotta understand something, the Beckhas are not someone with a few photos that maaaaayyybe Nicola is in the camera roll.
They have an entire PR team photographing and editing their lives. Do you think that was the only video Posh had???
Why chose one with the sun blasting on her when victoria can barely dance on a dancefloor for a reunion tour????
its calllllleed
Passive aggression wrapped in faux celebration with a side of intimidation
Nicola became the threat because she saw through the performance.
This Is What Covert Narcissism Looks Like
Not all abuse is loud.
Some of it looks like:
Emotional detachment
Silent expectations
Perfectly curated life feeds
A mother who turns her whole family against you but looks flawless or like an angel doing it
The world eats up Posh’s control because she’s rich
shes thin
she married the hottest guy and having her entire family behind her supports this narrative.
But control is still abuse even if it’s decked in D& G and splashed on Hello! every Monday
Baby Spice Was the Real Victim of 90s Body Culture
While we're here? Let's talk about Emma Bunton.
She was bright, sweet, genuinely joyful. And she got trashed for her body because she wasn’t a size zero. Styled in baby-doll dresses that cut at her thighs, she was the one dodging so many inappropriate comments for exisioting in a time obsessed with the heroin-chic aesthetic
Meanwhile, Posh was the tabloid darling.
Thin, silent, cold. Praised for starving. Praised for disappearing and marrying the prince- even if he ran off with the nanny
Brooklyn Walked Away From a Lie, Not a Family
Brooklyn didn’t abandon his family. He just refused to keep pretending.
Posh and Davids tabloid existence was not an accident.
It was styled scheduled and ritualized into multi million dollar brand deals worth more than both of their careers combined
And that broke the illusion. That’s what everyone’s mad about.
Because when someone stops performing for the narcissist? The whole pyramid collapses.
I see it.
Because I lived it.
Final Line
We don’t cut off loving parents.
We cut off the ones who control us, erase us, and then cry victim when we leave.
Brooklyn’s not broken. He’s free.
