Overview
- On June 22, Brooklyn Beckham starred in a DoorDash commercial that shows him tossing FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets on a table and displays the wording “It’s complicated,” actions many outlets and viewers read as jabs at his family.
- Multiple reports citing Page Six say Brooklyn was paid at least $1 million for the DoorDash spot, a figure picked up by several entertainment outlets.
- Insiders quoted to Page Six and other outlets say Beckham family members were devastated by the ad and that some contact with Brooklyn has been limited, while David Beckham’s recent Father’s Day Instagram post drew no public comment from Brooklyn.
- Brooklyn amplified the campaign with follow-up Instagram clips that handed the tickets to a delivery person and invited fans to hunt for them, which kept criticism and social‑media backlash focused on the paid promotion.
- The episode raises questions about monetizing private family conflict for commercial gain and could further strain the Beckhams’ public relationships while shaping how brands and talent weigh using personal disputes in advertising.
