"My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family love' is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp Wow: elephants. Brooklyn Beckham can't photograph them but he sure can address them when they're in the room."
"But most big documentaries these days aren't documentaries any more in the way previous practitioners of the craft might have understood the word. As her husband's was before it, Victoria's doc was a self-commissioned advertorial on which the subject also served as executive producer. This is the haute version of the curated, public-facing existence that defines our dysfunctional age, but it trickles all the way down via four"
Brooklyn Peltz Beckham posted an Instagram broadside accusing his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of treating him as a commercial prop his whole life. He alleges that the family prioritises public promotion and endorsements over genuine affection, claiming Brand Beckham comes first. He states that family love is judged by social-media posts and willingness to participate in staged family photo opportunities. Victoria Beckham's Netflix documentary operated as a self-commissioned advertorial with the subject serving as executive producer, presenting a highly curated public image. Highly curated celebrity media can obscure private conflicts and deepen rifts, with the Beckham family's no-contact estrangement illustrating the personal costs of branding.
