David Beckham has spoken publicly for the first time since his eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, wrote a scathing six-page Instagram statement on January 19, accusing his parents of manipulation and prioritizing their brand above everything and everyone.
The 50-year-old former footballer addressed the controversy while appearing live on CNBC’s financial program Squawk Box, where he was ostensibly present to discuss Bank of America’s global sports initiative Sports with Us.
The football star and his wife, Victoria Beckham, were framed by their son as figures willing to use their power and influence to spread false narratives in the media in order to hurt others and protect their image.
