The Beckhams are on everyone’s lips after Brooklyn, the eldest of David and Victoria’s four children, published a strong text on his Instagram on Monday in which he has no intention of reconciling with them. The first-born son detailed in his extensive writing the different ways in which, according to his version, he has been attacked, despised and humiliated by his parents. But there is a specific extract that has become a clear favorite of social media users. “In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where the program was scheduled to be my romantic dance with my wife. Instead, my mother was waiting to dance with me. He danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I have never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life,” Brooklyn wrote. As expected, the networks have been filled with content commenting, imagining and parodying that supposed inappropriate dance of . But what no one expected is that, thanks to the virality that surrounds her these days, the now designer has reached number one on the music charts for the first time.
I’m Not Such an Innocent Girlthe song that Victoria Beckham released solo in 2001 after the dissolution of the group that made her famous, has reached number one on the iTunes chart in the United Kingdom and Ireland. “Nothing represents British culture as much as collectively deciding to take Posh [Pija, el apodo que le dieron en las Spice Girls] to the top of the charts because her son ridiculed her on Instagram. Imagine their faces,” says a viral post on Instagram. “I’ve seen more VB music promotions [por Victoria Beckham] in the last 24 hours than in the last 20 years and I’m obsessed. “Let’s get her number 1 for the unexpected turn of the year!” wrote that same British user, who has promoted an internet campaign to “solve the national tragedy” that Victoria was, until now, the only one in the band without a solo musical number one.
She was the last of the Spice Girls to go solo, but, despite the promotional campaigns of the early 2000s, she was unable to match the solo success of her peers—who smashed it with her first single, My Latin Boy——con Never Be the Same Againamong others—, —and his I Want You Back— and Emma Bunton — who achieved it for the first time with What Took You So Long?—. Posh Spice, on the other hand, was robbed of her great star moment by Kylie Minogue, who managed to place her Can’t Get You Out Of My Head at the top of the charts that September 2001.
The matriarch of the Beckham clan has for the moment republished on her social networks but has not yet commented on Brooklyn’s explosive statements, in which he accused her, for example, of inviting his ex-girlfriends to family gatherings to make him and his wife, Nicola Peltz, uncomfortable, or of canceling the making of her wedding dress at the last minute. “During the wedding planning, my mother even called me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I decided to include my nanny Sandra and Nicola’s nanny at our table, since neither of them had a husband. Our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours,” he also reproached her.. Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham, who has not been seen in public all week, uses her networks to congratulate her former partner Emma Bunton on her birthday or to promote her musical career.
The one that has been seen these days is on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the viral publication of his first-born. The former soccer player refused to answer direct questions about the family dispute, but uttered a phrase about the good and bad use of social networks that many interpreted as a reaction to said reproaches and accusations. “I have tried to do the same with my children, educate them. They make mistakes, but children have the right to make mistakes. That’s how they learn. That’s what I try to teach them. Sometimes you also have to let them make those mistakes,” he said.
