Beckhams family's 'smart tactics to fix "broken" brand'
Share and Follow

In the wake of Brooklyn Beckham’s critical remarks, it seems his estranged family might be having the last laugh. Garnering support from the public, they have embarked on a savvy public relations campaign to mend their fractured image.

Brooklyn, who recently stirred up a storm online with his accusations—most notably claiming his mother, Victoria Beckham, acted inappropriately at his wedding—appeared unfazed and cheerful when he was seen out with his wife, Nicola Peltz, on Thursday. Brooklyn, now 26, seemed to be taking the drama in stride.

His siblings have also been active in the public eye. Romeo, at 23, was caught smiling while in Paris, and Cruz, 21, announced his inaugural tour. These appearances, according to PR specialist Nick Ede, likely serve to demonstrate the family’s resilience and dispel any notions of disunity.

Adding to their positive momentum, Victoria Beckham has achieved a personal milestone. Following a fan-driven viral campaign, she claimed her first solo Number One, topping the charts with her 2001 song “Not Such An Innocent Girl.”

Nick Ede, speaking to the Daily Mail, advised that when familial tensions become public, the most astute public relations strategy is to project a forward-moving, positive image. “You don’t counter emotions with statements,” he noted. “Instead, you offer stability and continuity.”

‘I feel that if the success of Victoria’s single and the onslaught of memes about her and Brooklyn have distracted from the feud organically’.

Insisting that the internet’s surprise decision to poke fun rather than take sides has ‘taken the sting out’ of things, which is a good thing for David and Victoria. 

‘What’s noticeable is a return to normality rather than reaction. David and Victoria continuing to work she has been posting her products on her grid and they continue to support their children publicly which sends a very clear message that its business as usual for them’.

‘The younger boys getting on with their own lives Cruz promoting his music and Romeo being seen relaxed and smiling reinforces that this isn’t a household in meltdown. It subtly reframes the story away from conflict’.

He continued: ‘The advice [the Beckhams] will almost certainly have been “don’t engage, don’t inflame, and don’t personalise.” When family issues become public, the smartest PR move is to keep life moving forward visibly and positively. You don’t rebut emotion with statements you counter it with stability and continuity.’ 

Asked why he believed the family’s PR strategy seemed to be working, Nick said it was all down to its ‘authenticity’.

‘Audiences are highly attuned to over-produced PR, and this doesn’t look like spin. Brooklyn has highlighted the PR machine in his socials so the team will be well aware that all eyes will be on them if something feels like its contrived’.

Nick went on to say that he believed the Beckham brand would eventually recover mainly due to the fact the family had been ‘part of the national fabric for decades’.

‘One difficult chapter doesn’t erase that history. If anything, it humanises them. its all part of the Parasocial phenomenon where members of the public feel they know the Beckhams,’

Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. 

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. 

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.” Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. 

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. 

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

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, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.

‘And have a relationship with them, which reinforces their fame and as we have seen drives Victoria to achieve her first solo Number 1, 20 years after it was first released with no PR just fandom’. 

Nick concluded the family should carry on ‘keeping calm and not reacting’  as they give Brooklyn’s bombshell statement time to ‘soften’.

‘Eventually, the story moves on. The Beckhams understand better than to add any fuel to this story and they love their son so they will only want the best for him’.

In a six-page statement, Brooklyn publicly declared he did not want to reconcile with his family and accused his parents of trying to ruin his relationship to wife Nicola. 

Following the explosive claims, ‘devastated’ Victoria received a much-needed boost with her chart success   driven by a social media campaign which is determined to ‘fix the national tragedy’ that ‘Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a solo #1.’

‘Nothing says “British Culture” like collectively deciding to send Posh to the top of the charts because her son roasted her on Insta. Imagine both their faces,’ read a viral post on Instagram which has been shared by the likes of Katherine Ryan and Luisa Zissman. 

It comes after DJ Fat Tony appeared to support Brooklyn’s allegations as he revealed the exact nature of Victoria’s ‘inappropriate’ dance at her eldest son’s wedding.

The 60-year-old DJ performed at the wedding party in April 2022, and on Friday he publicly backed Brooklyn as he branded the dance ‘really awkward’ and confirmed that Nicola fled the reception in tears. 

Brooklyn stated in an explosive six-page statement that his mum had ‘hijacked’ his first dance with Nicola and ‘danced very inappropriately on me’, leaving him ‘uncomfortable and humiliated’. 

Tony, a longtime friend of the Beckhams, claimed that Marc Anthony was to blame, revealing the musician had called Victoria to the dancefloor with Brooklyn and instructed Brooklyn, ‘place your hands on your mother’s hips’. 

Speaking on Friday’s episode of This Morning, Tony shared: ‘There was no slut dropping, there was no PVC cat suits, no Spice Girl action!

‘The word “inappropriate”, why I said it was as well, it was the timing, this is what happened…’

When asked if he couldn’t counsel him to ‘go and live his life’ and not blow this up, Tony said: ‘The thing is, it’s drip fed. 

‘We live in a world where people make their own presumptions about everything and no, [there’s nothing you can do about that], you can’t, and the reason why I’ve come on This Morning is because it’s a safe space.

‘I’ve been inundated with “you’re a liar”, “you’re this, you’re that”, and I haven’t even commented – my poor husband was in an argument and made a brief comment saying, “You weren’t there, I was, it’s true.” Which then led onto [all those messages] it was ridiculous.’

On why he thought Brooklyn didn’t approach his parents privately, Tony replied, ‘He’s done all that. It got to the point for him where he can’t take this anymore and wanted to step back from it, and that was his way of doing closure. 

‘That’s his decision. I couldn’t think of anything worse [for his parents] and I can only talk as a dog dad, but I didn’t talk to my own father for 30 years due my own understanding of a situation that I made up in my own head. 

‘And it wasn’t until I reconciled with my father that I realised that I had to look at my part in it… so of course it’s really sad situation. Do I think they’ll talk again? Of course they will at some point, they are family. But the noise needs to die down, people need to step back from it.

‘I didn’t realise there were two and a half million people at that wedding, because everyone seems to think they were there! Everyone feels the need to comment on it. And I’m sure they will have a field day with this, but that’s the world we live in.’

Asked about what people were saying the morning after the wedding, Tony admitted: ‘Well you know, when the bride and groom leave their wedding devastated, word trickles out… and not many people turned up for the brunch, but everyone was talking about it, and how sad that part of it was. 

‘But Victoria was thrown into that situation, and I think too much has been read into it… in the sense of too many stories being added to it. The dance is a very small part of the bigger problem.’
