Brooklyn Beckham Makes Money From Family Breakup

Five months after the public and explosive revolt of the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn, 27, still does not seem ready to bury the hatchet… Especially since this breakup now allows him to make money at the expense of his family.

«Something bad is good» says a famous saying by Jean De La Fontaine. We don’t know if he knows the man of letters, but, in any case, it’s not Brooklyn Beckham who will say the opposite. While the eldest son of the clan keeps his ties ostensibly cut with his parents, as well as with his brothers and sisters, here he is who even plays it in advertisements.

The aspiring model and chef teamed up with food delivery company DoorDash for a short promotional video, to mark the FIFA World Cup.

Calé dans un canapé, Brooklyn lance à la caméra:

The nepo baby lets out a little laugh. “It’s a long story,” he continues, before standing up and nonchalantly tossing a stack of football tickets onto the coffee table. The video ends with an enigmatic message on the screen: “It’s complicated. More info soon.”

No need to have attended Harvard or EPFL to understand the allusion to the quarrel with his famous ex-footballer father, now owner of Inter Miami. In any case, Internet users were happy to share mixed comments under the publication – some deeming it very clever, many others… completely inappropriate.

Indeed. As many commentators have noted, the posting of this advertisement online on the account of Brooklyn Beckahm and that of the delivery giant comes (rather badly), just two days after a new attempt by the Beckahm clan to reconnect with the rebellious son.

According to Page Sixit was around 2 p.m. when David and Victoria’s youngest daughter, Harper, 14, showed up at her older brother’s home in Los Angeles to drop him off a letter. The teen was photographed getting out of a black SUV and cautiously approaching the Beverly Hills home.

The Beckham couple’s youngest child was in California to support her father during the ceremony dedicated to him on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The former professional footballer was surrounded by (almost) his entire family during the presentation of this prestigious distinction.

Harper’s impromptu visit to his eldest child, however, did not bear fruit, since neither Brooklyn nor his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, were present. Harper therefore turned on his heel a few moments later, without asking for anything else.

It later turned out that Brooklyn Beckham was in New York, where the young man shared photos of himself jogging. On the other hand, a representative was quick to let people know what the person concerned thought about this approach, via a scathing press release sent to several media:

Sunday, it is the turn of those close to David and Victoria to give the response in the Daily Telegraph: “It is incredibly sad that this horrible accusation is being brought against an innocent young girl, who desperately misses her brother. There was nothing to say at all, so making up this heinous accusation is really pointless.”

While family tensions are not easing, one thing is certain: it is not barbs launched through advertising spots that are likely to soften the situation. (mbr)
