Some grilling enthusiasts might tell you that a propane grill can never match the smoky flavor of a charcoal grill, but there is a way. Here’s how.

This week, the dam finally broke.

Brooklyn Beckham exposed his family’s behavior that has driven him to no longer want reconciliation with his famous parents.

A couple of decades back, his father made headlines over an accused affair with his personal assistant.

Now, that alleged mistress is weighing in — and throwing her support behind Brooklyn.

‘Team Brooklyn’ is growing as people read what he has to say

Rebecca Loos is siding with Brooklyn Beckham.

Under a recent Instagram post, a now-no-longer-visible comment from a fan encouraged the yoga teacher to check out Brooklyn’s most recent posts.

Clearly, she looked into the 26-year-old’s series of Story posts from Monday, January 19, in which he detailed his many reasons for breaking free from his parents’ control.

“So happy he is standing up for himself and speaking publicly finally!!!!” Rebecca wrote encouragingly.

“I have felt so bad for his poor wife,” she then expressed, “knowing too well what they can be like!”

Commenters quickly showered Rebecca with encouragement.

Some highlighted how she and Brooklyn strangely have more in common than some might have imagined.

Several appraised that she must feel a degree of vindication.

When one commenter called Brooklyn’s words a “fascinating admission,” Rebecca responded.

“The truth always comes out,” she expressed.

Who is she, again?

In July 2003, David and Victoria Beckham had only been married for a few years.

When David began playing for Real Madrid, a sports team (David achieved a uprising amount of fame in Europe as a soccer player), Victoria remained home in England with their young sons.

Rebecca became his personal assistant at that time.

In April 2004, she publicly claimed to have had an affair with the athlete.

The fallout was intense.

Whether Rebecca’s claims were true or not, the Beckhams’ response was immediate: damage control.

Like other famous families, they circled the wagons.

Rebecca was able to make a series of reality TV appearances over the years as a result.

However, David never confirmed her claims.

There are those who believe that she concocted the story — as revenge against an employer, or perhaps simply while angling for fame.

Is this vindication?

We wouldn’t say that Brooklyn’s litany of understandable grievances against his parents are direct vindication of Rebecca.

However, he feels that he and his wife, Nicola, have spent years as the targets of a powerful PR machine.

Some liken Victoria and David to being the UK’s other royal family. The degree to which the country’s already notorious tabloids will go in order to sanitize reports on them appears to match.

(As we mentioned in our earlier reporting, people — in the US especially — are praising Brooklyn and comparing him positively to Prince Harry)

It seems likely that Rebecca, like Brooklyn, feels that she had little chance to get her side of things public against a PR behemoth. In that since, yes, this might feel pretty darn vindicating.

If you’re a Swiftie, you might be aware of a strange new controversy that’s emerged in recent weeks:

Concerns about Taylor Swift’s drinking habits have been circulating on social media.

That’s thanks in large part to a content creator named E.B. Johnson, who has pointed out that there seem to be discrepancies between Taylor’s comments about her drinking and her actual alcohol intake.

Johnson points out, for example, that Taylor claimed that she quit drinking during the Eras Tour, but photos and video from that time period seem to tell a different story.

Whatever the case, the situation has led to increased scrutiny of Taylor’s booze intake — and a funny story about beer and her future brother-in-law has resurfaced amid the controversy.

“I’ve got a very embarrassing story from last night about beer,” Jason Kelce said while appearing on the Barstool Sports “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast back in September.

“So I’m drinking beer, and I’m not really hammering ’em. I’m just kind of putting one back every 30 minutes or something,” Jason recalled.

“I’m just kind of enjoying beers last night, and I think it was third quarter [of a game he was watching], I find out that I’ve been drinking non-alcoholic beer the entire day,” he continued with a laugh.

“It was the most amount of shame I’ve ever felt in myself. I was just like, ‘What the f— is wrong with you, Jason!?’”

Asked who had been providing him with the non-alcoholic brews, Jason replied, “Taylor.”

“Because she said Travis had just been doing the same thing, and he’s ashamed. I’m like, ‘Time out, Travis. There’s non-alcoholic beer here!?’” he explained, adding:

“We had both been drinking these Budweiser Zeros, thinking they were just something like zero calorie Budweiser.”

Travis went on to joke that he was “so ashamed,” and had “just wasted three quarters of my life.”

There’s a lot to unpack here in the context of Taylor’s relationship with alcohol.

Did she give Jason the NA Buds as a joke? Is there non-alcoholic beer in the house because she and Travis Kelce are trying to cut back?

We don’t know, but you can bet that Swifties and haters alike will be dissecting the situation on Instagram and TikTok.

Interesting, that’s not the only amusing anecdote involving Taylor Swift, the Kelce brothers, and beer.

During an episode of his “New Heights” podcast, Travis and Taylor discussed an awkward moment that occurred while he was waiting to meet the royal family.

“He was like, ‘What do I do with my beer?’ ” Travis recalled (via People).

“I watched him have this moment with his beer where he was like, ‘But I want to take it, but I know that I probably should not take it,’ ” Swift chimed in. “I watched this happen, and it kind of was the most amazing…”

Something tells us Prince William wouldn’t have been scandalized by the sight of a grown man drinking a beer, but we understand the concern.
