Shebahn Aherne
January 2026

Aherne apologised after a social post about meeting Beckham was criticised as objectifying, landing during intense coverage of the Beckham family feud. Brooklyn publicly accused his parents of controlling behaviour and said he does not want reconciliation. Aherne shared an anecdote about interviewing Beckham and described sniffing her arm afterward, which drew backlash online. She then issued a public apology saying it was a joke and not intended to offend. Beckham separately spoke about social media risks and parenting.
