Victoria Beckham is no fool! She is actually a very funny woman with a great sense of humour! Who is very successful in her own right! ❤❤❤

I don’t think there would’ve been any point asking Victoria anything about the infidelity. I read a vogue interview with her once . Her answer to their infidelity question always stuck with me. She said “My job is to keep the family together. And if anyone has anything unpleasant to say, I don’t want to hear it.” I hope he treats her like a queen.

[nicky_m_]

Oh please, Beckham 'grilling' Victoria is just British humour. Trust me, it is HUMOUR!

[tesscap]

The documentary make me appreciate Victoria more, for her composure inspite of having an imperfect husband. She values her marriage, her family.

[anavasconcelos]

I loved the documentary and I think they are both incredible people, each with their flaws!!!

[shaunjayes]

The "Rolls Royce" interjection was just British humour, the British love banter, and that's all that was.
It's a great documentary and even if you aren't in to "soccer", it's a fascinating insight into the workings of an incredibly dedicated and talented athlete, who played for the 2 greatest clubs in world football.

[Harber]

He was TEASING Victoria, he’s not interrogating her! Jeez, where’s your sense of humour?

[kjmcindoe]

How on earth did these women get this so wrong? Maureen needs to go on holiday, or get herself pampered down the beauty salon or elsewhere. David's 'Rolls-Royce inquisition' was simply a jocular insult which is common in most British marriages. Megyn was having a rare off day, after all her brilliant work over the past few weeks.

[debbiedoo]

For everything they have gone through with their fame....I admire them both for working through their difficulties and realizing their marriage had value.

[puachan]

Maureen is taking this way too seriously. It’s entertainment, ladies. I was entertained by it, so mission accomplished.

Comparing Megan and Harry to the Beckhams is a big insult to the Beckhams. The Beckhams have achieved incredible success by working incredibly hard. On the other hand the M&H duo are pathetic living off the fame of the royal family

[ashleighhogan]

😱 OMG. Thousands of British households are like this, my own included. So many times, my MiL (Irish) thinks we're bickering but she just doesn't get it. Don't diss David for his comments, of course he loves Victoria, she knows that so no biggie. Americans, please stop reading in to what you really don't understand. I'm sorry we don't cry as often as you do, but we don't. End of.

[josemanuelmanrique]

Oh god, the blonde lady is so off. The car thing was a damn joke, she married an athlete, she knew and was fine with it.

[epi]

The Beckhams look like a great couple who has overcome a lot of challenges that come with fame. Good for them and for their family. They have done well for themselves

[MarianneOz]

Maureen could not be more wrong. It’s English humour for goodness sake.

[JenMaram]

Good grief. Is Maureen serious?? Obviously does not appreciate how couples mock, stir and make fun of each other. It is banter, and maybe that is something that Americans don't get. Australians and Brits are the best at it. All couples have rough times, the fact that the Beckhams have been able to stay together is testament that marriages can survive all that life throws at them, and all bad decisions. Victoria is not controlled by anyone, she is hilarious and no doubt gives him what for.

2:40 Victoria Beckham married one of the biggest footballers of our time. God forbid she supports him by moving with the kids to where he is signed. How is that

[alicelee]

I was disappointed with this discussion. Normally Megyn Kelly is spot on but she made the mistake of falling for Maureen Callahan's opinions about the Beckhams. They are giving an American perspective regarding a British couple. Maureen is projecting things that don't exist. They don't understand the British culture or the professional athlete world. Maureen doesn't grasp what is required in a marriage. I loved how the Beckhams revealed their humanity, vulnerability and imperfections. I like the way they handled the issue of the alleged affairs. At the end of the day, it is a personal and private matter that they dealt with as a deeply committed couple. I don't think divorce was an option for them because they value deeply having a close-knit family. I have respect for their authenticity, honesty, and openness.. They are not perfect but they have strong values and it shows well.

[UDPride]

One major correction on the Rolls Royce reference. It wasn't an attempt to create a narrative David preferred, it was an attempt to create a narrative that Victoria preferred. David merely called her out on her BS to correct the narrative. No harm no foul here. It would like the man saying he caught a blue Marlin and wife interjecting to say "be honest" and the man having to admit it was a bluegill. The criticism should be on the person stretching the truth not the one raising the red flag.

Best documentary in a long time ! Nothing to criticize !
