Brooklyn Beckham, Brand Beckham, and family fallout

So today on Fame Under Fire, the Beckhams, they are facing a very public and very personal fallout.

And all of this is coming from inside the family itself.

If you haven't seen it, Brooklyn Pelts Beckham, he is the eldest child of Sir David Beckham, the world famous footballer and Victoria Beckham, the former Spice Girl, now fashion designer.

He has dropped a series of statements to his 16 million followers on Instagram saying that he doesn't want to reconcile with his family, that he has had no choice but to speak out now, accusing his parents and their team wrongly.

of countless lies.

Nick, firstly, let's get into what exactly Brooklyn has said and why today is such a turning point, because this story has been rumbling on for years, hasn't it?

Molly, do you mind if I just bring you in here?

These accusations that Brooklyn has now put out publicly, they're so specific about the wedding dress being hijacked last minute, about his mother supposedly jumping in on his first dance and acting inappropriately.

And of course, there is background to this stuff, right, Nick?

Because even though Brooklyn is saying that he has remained silent so far in this statement...

There's been a few rumours that have come out over the past year or so that he wasn't happy, for example, about his mum, Victoria, liking some of his Instagram posts and then subsequently that he'd apparently asked his parents to only communicate with him via lawyers.

Fame Under Fire

Yeah, it is an interesting response and social media has played such a big part in this whole supposed feud, hasn't it?
