The fact that Brooklyn has spoken out about his mum liking his post.

There's been a lot of public scrutiny, for example, of which family member has blocked who at a certain time and what that means.

I mean...

It's very indicative of the modern world that we live in, isn't it, where this gets so scrutinised publicly.

How does that play into something for a celebrity in this position, Molly, when everyone is talking about on TikTok, analysing likes, follows, blocks and the rest of it?

And so much of Brooklyn's statement and some of the things that he's accusing his family of is prioritizing public promotion and endorsements above all else.

Nick, just paint a picture for us of how huge and global this brand Beckham actually is, because they are a commercial machine that are in so many different sectors.

I mean, it's brought up a lot of feelings for me because I was a young girl growing up in Manchester.

Huge Manchester United fan would go all the time with my dad to Old Trafford.

And of course, I grew up watching David Beckham.

And I remember when he went over to Real Madrid with Victoria and it was like his brand just took on this whole new weight and meaning around the world.

This blonde hair, remember, he had it in this ponytail and he became a Galactico.

And that name, Beckham, has just become a global brand.

Talking about brand, because it's so central and their name itself to everything that's going on in this story, Molly, David and Victoria Beckham trademarked their children's names back in 2016.

Brooklyn is now alleging that his parents tried to make him sign away the rights to his name before the wedding happened.

What does an accusation like that tell us?

Which is quite incredible, really, because, of course, they are British celebrities.

But the weight that they carry in America because of, for example, David Beckham's connection with Into Miami, you know, it's huge.

Yes.

played such a big part in making, you obviously call it soccer over there, but a huge global brand associated with the United States as well.
