Brooklyn Beckham's ongoing feud with his family has returned to the spotlight following an explosive outburst in which he stated he has no intention of reconciling. ITV's Tonight programme has examined the saga, featuring comments from a former football coach and an ex-girlfriend who shed light on his upbringing.
Anthony McCool, a former Queens Park Rangers coach who worked with a 14-year-old Brooklyn, told the documentary: 'He would worry me. We never saw any kind of massively high emotion or massively low [emotion].'
Brooklyn's rumoured ex-girlfriend Afton McKeith claimed that while he was at school, someone close to him would orchestrate paparazzi to follow the teen. She said: 'Someone who knew his schedule inside out would arrange staged shots... I feel sorry for Brooklyn.' She refused to name the person but implied it could be his parents.
Journalist Katie Hind said David and Victoria Beckham are 'distraught' after Brooklyn's social media post. She explained that Brooklyn had blocked his relatives on the platform and issued a cease and desist last summer, but they continued to tag him. Hind stated: 'They would have had to rely on seeing it second hand – that’s how bad it’s got.'
A body language expert analysed footage of the Beckhams at the premiere of their Netflix documentary and noted that Nicola Peltz was 'desperately trying to fake a smile... the eyes and mouth don’t match.' Perez Hilton added that Nicola had a 'frosty relationship' with Victoria for a long time, and that blaming Victoria is an 'easy scapegoat.'
