They note Brooklyn’s Instagram name “Brooklyn Peltz Beckham,” his public accusations that his parents mistreated his wife, and his apparent severing of family ties, while observing that his siblings have not supported him. The conversation debates whether Brooklyn is standing up for his wife or acting out of entitlement and financial self-interest, and questions details around wedding-related disputes like Nicola’s dress choice. They broaden the topic to the rise of adult children discrediting or cutting off parents, the role of therapy and social media “trial by media,” and a related debate on free speech and accountability.

  • The Truth About the Viral “Let Them” Philosophy | Not Your Aunty
    Mar 6 2026
    In this episode of Not Your Aunty, hosts Shunali Kullar Shroff and Kiran Manral take on the viral “Let Them” philosophy popularized by Mel Robbins. Is it wisdom… or just emotional avoidance? The two dive into the idea that when people disrespect, trigger, or upset you, you should simply “let them” and move on. But does this approach actually help relationships—or does it encourage people to withdraw from conflict and stop communicating altogether? From friendships and marriages to office drama and family politics, Shunali and Kiran unpack when “letting them” might work—and when it becomes a recipe for resentment, grudges, and unresolved issues. Expect sharp takes, hilarious examples, and a rapid-fire round of “Let Them or Slap Them?” Because sometimes boundaries are necessary… and sometimes, as they say, boundaries are not exits. 🎙️ Hosts: Shunali Kullar Shroff & Kiran Manral 📌 Podcast: Not Your Aunty About Us: 🌟 Not Your Aunty Podcast 🎙️ | Parenting 👪 Relationships 💑 Body Positivity 💛 Get ready to laugh out loud with the hilarious "Not Your Aunty" podcast!
