Read The Room, Posh!’ Victoria Beckham SLAMMED For ‘Out Of Touch’ TikTok Fail.
Victoria Beckham tried to jump on the TikTok train, but her attempt at a viral challenge spectacularly derailed, leaving fans slamming her as completely “out of touch.” Posh Spice launched her TikTok account with a video playing on the “Tell me you’re X without telling me you’re X” trend. Her chosen prompt? “Tell me you’re posh, without telling me you’re posh.” Her video then showed a waiter unveiling her meal of salmon and steamed vegetables.
The reaction was swift and brutal. In the comments, users weren’t playing along; they were roasting her. “Tell me you’re out of touch, without telling me you’re out of touch,” mocked one user, gaining thousands of likes. Another wrote, “Read the room, Victoria. People can’t feed their kids.” This comment highlighted the core issue: launching a challenge flaunting wealth and privilege (even jokingly) while many in the UK and globally were facing a severe cost of living crisis struck fans as incredibly tone-deaf.
The backlash painted the video not as a fun challenge, but as an insensitive display. Comments like “Must be nice” and “Just what we want to see when petrol prices are sky high” dominated. While some defended it as a joke playing on her ‘Posh’ persona, the overwhelming fan sentiment was negative. It was a stark reminder that what might seem like harmless fun in a celebrity bubble can land very differently with the general public, especially during tough economic times. Posh’s TikTok debut became a lesson in misjudging the moment.
