Brooklyn Beckham reignited the family drama with a sponsored ad that many read as a dig at David and Victoria. In the video, about the 2026 World Cup, he appears smiling and says: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the World Cup from home… It’s a long story”. 😱
The line came amid his estrangement from his family and after his sister Harper tried to deliver a letter to him at his house, but couldn’t find him. For many, the ad turned a family fight into part of a campaign.
The criticism was quick to come. “Grow up, if it weren’t for them, you would be nobody”, one user wrote, while another was even harsher: “Have some dignity and respect for the two people who helped you get to where you are”. What seemed like marketing ended up looking, to many, like an overly cold dig. 👀
