We're living in a world that is rife with inequality, widespread labor issues plaguing the country and a growing gap between the uber, incredibly wealthy and the poor, working-class person. It's also a world in which our biggest celebrities, the most visible people in our society with heaps of wealth, have turned to embellish their backgrounds to sound like they have lived a struggling Cinderella rags-to-riches, humble and traumatic life.
The latest Netflix docuseries about soccer star David Beckham has one such example that's been making the social media rounds. In the clip, Victoria Beckham of Posh Spice Girls fame and Beckham's wife was discussing that she and David have come from incredibly hard-working middle-class backgrounds . . . before he peeks through the door, hilariously interjecting her to "be honest." He pesters her with the question "What car did your dad drive you to school in?” Victoria puts up a bit of a fight, and the couple go back and forth before she admits defeat: "OK, in the ’80s my dad had a Rolls Royce.”
