1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast, Gray

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Old Day. Let's talk about where it's even grayer, and

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: that's in the house of the Beckhams. This is just

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: an extraordinary story, and over summer it's been sort of

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: there's been moments and a few headlines about the breakdown

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: between their son, Brooklyn Beckham and the Beckham family. And

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: we know that he married Nicola Peltz, who's a very

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: wealthy family. I think the dad Nelson is worth a

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: couple of billion dollars or something. Fits. I'm not sure

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: where the money is from, having.

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: Fashion, luxury properties like jets, like they've got it all.

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: I thought this was a media build up, to be

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: honest with you, because I knew how close the Beckhams were.

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: They're a very tight knit family, and I thought, oh god,

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: they're just trying to break this family up. But this

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: has blown everybody away because he's released something on social

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: media this morning where Brooklyn Beckham is having a go

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: back at his mother and father.

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: He's basically said enough's enough. And you know what, she's

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: got a show out at the moment, which I started

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: watching the other day because I thought would why would

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Victoria beckham Be doing a brand new TV show in

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: your World, Victoria Why, And then I went on to

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: find out that the brand, the fashion brand of Victoria Beckhams,

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: has been dropping and therefore we needed a little bit

26
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: of a pump up guy. So we put together a

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: eight part mini series on the Beckhams because that story

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: that came out not long ago about David Beckham, which

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: was another TV show that they did, which started with

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: him kicking the goal of the Century or whatever.

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: It's just a documentary. It's not a TV show. It's

32
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: not following them around. It's just a documentary on their lives.

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: So this is what Brooklyn Beckham has posted this morning.

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: It's quite lengthy. I'm going to try and read it.

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: It's good that we chose the worst reader on the

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: team to read this giant statement. Here we go. I

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: have been silent for years and made every effort to

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team

39
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: have continued to go to the press, leaving me with

40
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: no choice for myself and tell the truth about only

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: some of the lies that have been printed. I do

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: not want to reconcile with my family. Well, it was

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: a huge time. I do not want to reconcile with

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: my family. I'm not being controlled. I'm standing up for

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: myself for the first time in my life. For my

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: about our family, the performative social media posts, family events,

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of my life

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: since the day I was born. I've recently seen with

50
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: my own eyes the lengths they will go to to

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I

53
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: believe the truth always comes out. My parents have been

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before our wedding,

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: and it hasn't stopped. My mum canceled making Nicholas dress

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: in the eleven they were, despite how excited she was

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: to wear the design, forcing her to urgently find a

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: new dress weeks before our big day. My parents repeatedly

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife,

61
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: and our future children. They were adamant on me signing

62
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: before my wedding date, because then the terms of the

63
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: deal would have initiate been initiated. Wow, my holdout affects

64
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: the payday and they have never treated me the same way.

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Since the night before our wedding, members of my family

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: told me that Nicola was not blood and not family.

67
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

68
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Since that moment, I started standing up for myself. Sorry,

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Since that moment I started standing up for myself, My

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: family and I have received endless attacks. My parents have

71
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: attacked us both privately and publicly. They were even sent sorry,

72
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: they were even sent to the press at their orders.

73
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social

74
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: media before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere. Last summer,

75
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: my mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which

76
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: had been planned weeks in advanced in advance to a

77
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: romantic love song. In front of our five hundred wedding guests.

78
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: Mark Anthony called me up to the stage whether where

79
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: in the schedule it was planned for me to do

80
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: a romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mum

81
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: was waiting to dance with me instead, Victoria. She danced

82
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: very inappropriately on me and in front of everybody. I've

83
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: never felt more uncomfortable and humiliated in my entire life.

84
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: We wanted to renew our vows that we could create

85
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: new memories of our wedding day that brought us joy

86
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment. My wife has constantly

87
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: been disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we

88
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: tried to come together as one. My mum has reportedly,

89
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: oh my mum has repeatedly invited women from my past

90
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: into our lives that were clearly intended to make us

91
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: both uncomfortable. Despite this, we still traveled to London for

92
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week. As

93
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality

94
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: time with him, he refused all of our attempts unless

95
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: it was at his big birthday party with hundreds of

96
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: guests and cameras in every corner. When he finally agreed

97
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola

98
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: wasn't invited. Oh my god, it was a slap in

99
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: the face. Later, when my family traveled to la they

100
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: refused to see me at all.

101
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: This is really sad, isn't it, Because this is you know,

102
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they are a tight knit group, the Beckhams,

103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: and obviously obviously they don't agree with Nicola Pelts, and

104
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: it's understandable to go to this extent and to change

105
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 2: it's the proceedings of the wedding to suit yourself like that.

106
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: That's just I can understand that he's at the end

107
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: of his tether. Well, I wonder what will they respond

108
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: to this great.

109
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: Question, because how do they continue to put forward such

110
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: a happy face and they act like, oh my god,

111
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: we're just a normal family at home in the kitchen.

112
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: This is so much fun having a good time obviously.

113
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: Not How can they change the narrative? How can they

114
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 2: bend it like Beckham World.
