Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of football icon David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, has found himself at the centre of a social media firestorm. The 24-year-old was captured on video demonstrating what followers are calling a blatant disregard for road safety.
The controversial footage, which quickly went viral, shows Beckham navigating a powerful Harley-Davidson motorcycle through a built-up residential area. The most alarming aspect for viewers was that he appeared to be operating the large bike with just one hand on the handlebars, a clear violation of safe riding practices.
Public Outcry and Safety Concerns
Furious followers were quick to flood the comments section of the post, expressing their anger and disappointment. Many highlighted the potential danger his actions posed not just to himself, but to pedestrians, other road users, and local residents.
One incensed commenter pointedly asked, "Why do these people think the rules don't apply to them?" Another criticised the act as "incredibly irresponsible" given his status as a public figure with a young and impressionable audience.
A Pattern of Behaviour?
This incident is not Beckham's first brush with criticism related to his driving. It raises further questions about celebrity privilege and the responsibility that comes with a massive online platform. The video has sparked a wider debate about whether enough is done to hold influencers accountable for promoting potentially harmful behaviour.
As of now, neither Brooklyn Beckham nor his representatives have publicly addressed the growing backlash. The episode serves as a stark reminder that in the age of the smartphone, a moment of indiscretion can quickly escalate into a full-blown public relations crisis.
