What happened. Brooklyn Peltz Beckham posted serious accusations on Instagram against his parents David and Victoria Beckham, including emotional manipulation, control and sabotaging his relationship with Nicola Peltz.
And what does David Beckham do? He is exercising restraint, only countering indirectly and looking for considered formulations. His tactic? Not adding fuel to the fire, practising de-escalation.
As a guest on the "Squawk Box" program on "CNBC", the former England captain spoke about parenting and the role of social media without directly addressing the family conflict.
The 50-year-old emphasized the power of digital platforms and described them as a tool that can influence young people both positively and negatively. He explained that he had always tried to raise his children to use these media consciously.
Beckham: "Children make mistakes, sometimes you have to let them make them"
The most important sentence of the evening was delivered by David Beckham, who kept a low profile on the simmering family feud: "Kids make mistakes, and sometimes you have to let them make them", said Beckham, adding: "That's how they learn". Words that many see as a clear reference to Brooklyn.
