Victoria Beckham after her son’s allegations: She always ‘protected’ her children

Her eldest son accuses her of wanting to “control” his life and “ruin” his marriage. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, British designer Victoria Beckham responded that she and her husband David have always tried to “protect” their children.

In a lengthy message on social media in January, 27-year-old Brooklyn Beckham accused his famous parents of placing more importance on the “Beckham brand” than anything else.

According to him, in the weeks before his wedding to American actress Nicola Peltz in 2022, they tried to convince him to “give up” his rights to his name.

When asked about the American newspaper’s allegations, Victoria Beckham defended herself without mentioning her eldest son by name. The former Spice Girls singer, who became a successful fashion designer and businesswoman, also defends her husband, the former captain of the England national football team.

“We’ve always tried to be the best parents possible. You know, we’ve been in the spotlight for over 30 years. All we’ve tried to do is protect our children and love them,” she assures. “Being parents of young adults and adults, my God, it’s a lot different than having little kids. I think we’re doing the best we can.”

The Beckhams cultivate the image of a glamorous and harmonious couple who succeed in everything on social networks and in the media. They are very close with their three other children.

“Since I started defying my family, I have suffered countless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly,” Brooklyn also accuses them. “These will be released to the press on their instructions.”

David Beckham himself did not directly answer questions about tensions with his son. However, during a CNBC broadcast about children’s use of social media, he said they “have the right to make mistakes.”
