In a bustling BRIT Awards afterparty corner, a young man, clad in all black, appeared uneasy, seemingly wishing to vanish into the ground. At just 16 years old, Brooklyn Beckham’s presence at Warner’s record label celebration in 2016 marked his early ventures into the showbiz scene.

Encountering him left me intrigued, not only due to his young age but also because BRITs afterparties are known for their lively atmosphere. It was evident that he, too, might have been questioning his presence amidst a crowd of A-list celebrities, projecting an awkward and shy demeanor.

Following in the footsteps of his superstar parents, who are accustomed to public attention, must be challenging. A recent statement by Brooklyn shed light on his struggles with overwhelming anxiety, which significantly decreased after distancing himself from his family.

Despite his courageous revelation about his mental health battles, Brooklyn has faced harsh criticism online, particularly for speaking out against his parents. His friends describe a young man who has grappled with mental health issues, emphasizing the need to support his bravery instead of tearing him down.

Concerned about protecting his wife from online hate, Brooklyn took a drastic step by sending his parents a legal letter, requesting communication only through lawyers and refraining from mentioning him on social media. This decision stemmed from his escalating anxiety triggered by online interactions involving his parents.

In an effort to shield his mental well-being, Brooklyn’s camp emphasizes the positive impact of cutting ties with his parents. Despite facing backlash, he expressed gratitude for finding peace and relief after distancing himself.

As the backlash continues, it is hoped that Brooklyn maintains his newfound sense of peace and remains resilient in the face of criticism.
