Beckham slammed for kissing daughter Harper on the lips

He's hit back at similar criticism in the past

David Beckham ‘fans’ have aired their disapproval at him giving seven-year-old daughter Harper a peck on the lips.

The former footballer shared the sweet shot, which showed the pair an a skating ring, on Instagram.

He captioned the picture: “Christmas is coming. Let’s go skate.”

An innocent moment between a loving dad and his little girl.

But somehow certain people have managed to twist it into something sinister, and social media has allowed them a platform to share their nonsense with the world.

“She’s your daughter… why are you kissing on her lips..?” one critic wrote.

Another moaned: “That looks wrong.”

It’s not the first time David, 43, has been abused for posting an affectionate shot; the same happened when he posted a pic of him and Harper sharing a peck when she was five years old.

He hit back then, saying: “I got actually criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day.

“I kiss all my kids on the lips. Brooklyn, maybe not. Brooklyn’s 18, he might find that a little bit strange. But I’m very affectionate with the kids.

“It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children.

“We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them, and support them, and we’re very affectionate with them.”

Wife Victoria, 44, was similarly trolled for sharing a lip-peck kiss pic with her daughter the same year, 2017.
