Victoria Beckham's X-rated joke before calling son Brooklyn 'most handsome man'
Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham went viral after making a hilarious X-rated joke at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in 2013
Many years before the ongoing Beckham family feud, Victoria Beckham slipped up while on stage at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year Awards when she made an X-rated joke in front of her then-teenage son, Brooklyn. As she stood at the podium to collect an award, she was left mortified after adjusting the microphone and telling the audience: "Oh, I have to raise it. That doesn't happen often."
The former Spice Girl slapped her hands over her mouth upon realising her blunder and added: "Oh my god, I didn't even mean that!" as the crowd laughed. She then apologised to Brooklyn: "I'm so sorry Brooklyn, I'm so sorry. They told me to be funny but that was completely off the cuff!"
In a sweet tribute to him, she later said: "Thank you to Brooklyn, my date tonight and the most handsome man in the room, even though he's avoiding his homework."
Over a decade on from the iconic speech, it has been revealed it was from a time Victoria 'heavily relied' on Brooklyn while husband David was away for work before their family feud unfolded in recent months.
The family have always been close, with the Beckhams consistently taking to social media to pay tribute to one another.
Brooklyn and Posh Spice were close before, things changed since Brooklyn, a former aspiring photographer, met Nicola Peltz in 2019 at Leonardo DiCaprio's Halloween party.
They married three years later and, last month, Brooklyn and Nicola missed David's 50th birthday celebrations, which cast the spotlight on the family conflict.
In recent days, Brooklyn caused a stir when he seemingly shared whose side he's on by posting 'I'll always choose you' in a post gushing about his wife.
However, it's been said Brooklyn was Victoria's 'rock' throughout his childhood and she 'really relied' on him before he went on to marry his socialite wife.
In Daily Mail's Beckham Breakdown: Inside the Family Feud, Katie Hind said: "They were absolutely inseparable and I remember she took him to the Glamour Awards in 2013 as her date.
"She got up on stage and paid tribute to him and said he was the most handsome man in the room. She really relied on Brooklyn and he was the man of the house and he very much lived up to that while David was away and I think at the time they were having difficulties in their marriage."
She added: "They had moved back to London, David was away and Brooklyn was a real rock for her."

Brooklyn and Nicola (Ian West/PA) 'People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together.' Nicola added: 'It's not always easy. On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us. 'When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down. But it's not worth it. I just scroll past and move on.'

Speaking about their wedding day and the moment she said 'I do', Nicola told the magazine: 'I was so nervous. 'Saying our vows in front of that many people? Terrifying. 'Someone told me, 'Just look at Brooklyn.' And as soon as I did, the nerves faded. 'When my dad took my hand and said, 'Are you ready?' I just started crying. I couldn't even look at him. I was thinking, My make-up! 'And when I walked down the aisle, (UK artist) Sekou was singing Songbird live. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it.' Brooklyn added: 'I'm usually chill speaking in front of people, but that day I was a wreck. Nicola kept me waiting for 10 minutes and it felt like forever.

Taylor Swift splashes out eye-watering sum on revenge look to dine with BFF Selena Gomez after buying masters
Taylor Swift looked dressed for revenge in a stunning head-to-toe Gucci ensemble after finally gaining ownership of the master recordings of her first six albums. While celebrating the end of her very long and public battle to own her music, the pop star, 35, emerged for a rare girls' night out with her longtime friend Selena Gomez. For the occasion, the Lover hitmaker rocked a black and silver tank top complete with a sequined trim and matching miniskirt, which showcased her toned legs. The 14-time Grammy winner paired her timeless look with a pair of silver metallic platform sandals ($1,190) and Gucci Bamboo 1947 mini bag, which retails for $4,700. Swift's accessories included her custom $6,875 diamond friendship bracelet from her boyfriend Travis Kelce and $3,490 ring from Shahla Karimi Jewelry. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The most expensive and dazzling part of her outfit was her $36,000 Arpeggia One Line earrings, which brought up the total of her look to over $55,000. Meanwhile, Gomez, 32, turned heads in a khaki suit with a plunging brown halter top and a sharp blazer tied over her shoulders. The pals were enjoying a girls' night out at The Monkey Bar in New York City, known for its $36 ice-cold martinis, Crab Rangoon, dry-aged New York strip and truffle monkey bread. Although it is unknown who picked up the check at dinner, Gomez may have put her card down as Swift just splashed out around $360 million to purchase the rest of her music catalog. On Friday, the Cats actress revealed that she struck a settlement with private equity firm Shamrock Capital, which purchased the rights to the records from music mogul Scooter Braun in November 2020. In a hand-written letter posted on her website, Swift, who is worth over $1 billion, claims the money she made from her lucrative Eras tour last year has helped bankroll the purchase of her old material and 'her entire life's work'. She said: 'All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy. ' Swift then thanked Shamrock Capital for their 'honest, fair and respectful' way they handled the deal, adding: 'I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams.' She then joked: 'My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead.' Justin Bieber's old manager Scooter controversially acquired the rights to Taylor's material for S300million after buying her old record label, Big Machine Media, in 2019 before selling them on to Shamrock Capital for profit. The Love Story singer, who branded Scooter a 'bully' for tactics, was unaware of his plan and also claimed when she previously approached Big Machine label head Scott Borchetta about buying her masters beforehand, he allegedly would only sell her them one at a time, starting from her earliest, least-profitable recordings. In exchange for the option to buy the masters back, Taylor claimed she would have to record a new album for the label in exchange for each old recording she bought, shackling her to Big Machine for years to come just when she was eager to leave the label. The singer posted an emotional Tumblr telling fans she made the 'excruciating choice to leave behind my past. 'Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.' She added: 'Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. 'Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words 'Scooter Braun' escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. 'He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn't want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever.' She added that when she heard the news: 'All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I've received at his hands for years.' Swift then listed a string of examples accusing Kim Kardashian and Kanye West – then Braun's client – of bullying. Shamrock acquired the master recordings to Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989 and Reputation – which Taylor has now regained ownership of, having previously led a campaign to re-record her first six albums, four of which she's successfully completed. Reputation (Taylor's Version) was heavily tipped to be her next release and the singer addressed the rumors in her open letter, saying it's the 'one album I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it' but teased she may still record another version, as well as offer up 'unreleased Vault tracks' from that album. Taylor says she has re-recorded the entirety of her debut self-titled album which, like Reputation, will 're-emerge when the time is right.' Music sources had previously claimed Scooter played a role in helping Taylor and Shamrock Capital agree a deal for the buy-back, in a bid to claim much-needed positive PR in wake of her career imploding following his feud with the singer. In a hand-written letter posted on her website, Swift, who is worth over $1 billion, claims the money she made from her lucrative Eras tour last year has helped bankroll the purchase of her old material and 'her entire life's work' Swift then thanked Shamrock Capital for their 'honest, fair and respectful' way they handled the deal, adding: 'I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams' But according to sources close to the contract negotiations, he played zero part. An insider told MailOnline: 'Contrary to a previous false report, there was no outside party who 'encouraged' this sale. 'All rightful credit for this opportunity should go to the partners at Shamrock Capital and Taylor's Nashville-based management team only. Taylor now owns all of her music, and this moment finally happened in spite of Scooter Braun, not because of him.'
