Brooklyn Beckham was accused of “rage bait” by some fans after he appeared to cook pasta in seawater.
Brooklyn Beckham leaves fans horrified by pasta cookery as he’s accused of ‘rage bait’
The 27-year-old aspiring chef – who is currently estranged from his parents, Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria Beckham, and siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and 14-year-old Harper Beckham – took to social media to share footage of himself dipping a saucepan in some seawater while he was “getting some pasta water”.
In a TikTok video, which was captioned “Tomato pasta [heart emoji, heart emoji]”, Brooklyn said: “Today, I’m going to make some tomato pasta.”
After his intro, the star was seen standing on a platform while he placed a huge saucepan into the sea to get some water for his cooking session.
The next part of the clip appeared to suggest he was using the same pan to cook his tomato pasta creation, but some TikTok users were left disgusted.
One was particularly concerned that Brooklyn could be eating some toxins and chemical pollutants when chowing down on his pasta dish.
They posted: “Gross. Takes sea water from the engine where oil and chemicals leak thru. Boiling seawater doesn’t kill chemical pollutants, heavy metals, and all toxins.”
Another was worried about Brooklyn eating the seawater – due to some using the ocean as a toilet when they are taking a dip.
They commented: “Oh god people urinate in that sea!”
Another added: “Tomato pasta with a side of dissenteria (sic)”
However, some accused him of “rage baiting” – when someone intentionally posts offensive, frustrating, or provocative content online to make people angry.
One wrote: “He just rage bating at this point”
Another shared: “There’s no way this is serious”
What’s more, some commented on his ongoing family feud, with one follower writing: “Forget making pasta you need to make amends”
Despite the hate, several commenters also shot to Brooklyn’s defence, and questioned why people were so angry about his video.
A social media user commented: “I think he is sweet !! And he has a passion for cooking which is clear !! So hard for a child of a celeb !! He just wants to live his life happy like we all do x (sic)”
One wrote: “Why does everyone just hate on him in the comments, it’s actually so sad. Hope you all find peace one day”
Brooklyn’s latest TikTok video has amassed more than 1.4 million views.
