Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona has launched a scathing attack on Brooklyn Beckham, accusing him of riding on the coattails of his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
In a no-holds-barred interview, Katona didn't mince her words when discussing the privileges afforded to celebrity offspring in show business.
'It's Not Fair' - Katona's Blunt Take on Nepotism
'Let's be honest, if his surname wasn't Beckham, would he be getting these opportunities?' Katona questioned pointedly. The outspoken TV personality highlighted the struggles faced by those without famous connections trying to break into the industry.
Katona, who rose to fame through talent show Popstars in 1999, contrasted her own career path with Brooklyn's seemingly effortless entry into photography and modelling.
The Nepotism Debate Heats Up
The comments come amid growing public debate about privilege in entertainment. Katona joins a chorus of voices questioning whether celebrity children deserve their platforms.
'I worked my arse off to get where I am,' Katona emphasised. 'Meanwhile, some people just have to wake up with the right last name.'
Brooklyn Beckham, 24, has pursued various creative ventures including photography and cooking, though none have achieved significant critical acclaim.
Public Reaction Divided
Social media responses to Katona's remarks have been mixed. Some applaud her for speaking truth to power, while others argue she's being unnecessarily harsh.
One Twitter user commented: 'Finally someone says what we're all thinking!' Another countered: 'Jealous much? Let the lad live his life.'
This isn't the first time Katona has courted controversy with her frank opinions. The mother-of-five has built a reputation for speaking her mind, regardless of consequences.
