Romeo Beckham Has Epilepsy
It had been reported that Les Beckhams were at the hospital a few times over the past few years, but no one knew why – until now. When Posh brought her sons back to London from Madrid, obv the Paps started flash bulbing left and right and Posh lost it, screaming for them to stop because Romeo has epilepsy and the bulbs would set off an epileptic fit.
The frightened youngster reacted violently after being photographed at Heathrow last Saturday as he returned to Britain from Madrid with Posh and brothers Brooklyn, seven, and Cruz, one. Initially he shielded his eyes against the flashes as his mother pushed him through the terminal building in his buggy and out to a waiting car.
He then started screaming in terror and lashing out with his legs as one photographer pressed his camera inside the car and started flashing. Only then did horrified Posh, 32, reveal the truth about brave Romeo’s dangerous condition. She pulled her blond-headed son to her, shielded him from the lights and yelled: “Leave him alone. He’s got epilepsy. All that flashing will start an epileptic fit. You can’t do that!”
Kevin Smith — owner of Splash news, the agency that took the shot —said: “No picture is worth putting a child’s life in danger. Now that we know Romeo has epilepsy I will not be authorising any of my photographers to take flash pictures of him. I think this is absolutely the right thing to do and I hope other agencies follow suit.”
I love that Kevin Smith knows his priorities – they can get enough pictures of Posh and Becks – they don’t need to put Romeo at risk. I realllllllly hope that other agencies follow their lead. Otherwise they’ll all be crowned King A-Holes in my book. [Source]
