It has brought private tension of these celebrities into the spotlight. And we are joined by Esther Walker, a British journalist. Check out her sub stack. It's called The Spike.

Hello. Thank you for having me.
What should you consider before airing family troubles online?
At a high level, I think what I know is this kid, I mean, he's young, he's 26, is saying mom and dad interfered with my marriage. They are not great parents. They are really obsessed with their public image. And I'm going to speak to the media and tell them that things have gone amiss. That's my high level understanding. Do you want to paint a little bit more of a picture for me on what's going on?
I mean, you've got it. That is exactly what's happened. And the actual motivations and details are still a little bit unclear.

And this has sent everyone absolutely bonkers with glee at the idea that Victoria Beckham was dancing inappropriately with her own son at his wedding to some woman. And Nicola is supposed to have run out crying. But there's other accusations of like... Controlling behavior, controlling him with money, legal stuff to do with his name, which nobody particularly understands. Stuff to do with Victoria refused to help Nicola with her displaced dog charity, I think, after the LA wildfires. It kind of went on and on and on. It was sort of six pages of it. But just personally, what I think is interesting is how as a family, because yes, they're a brand and they're celebrities and people think of celebrities as sort of not really real people.
but how as a family they got here, they got to this place. Because...
