Kim Turnbull has spoken out on her ‘tough’ experience with fame after splitting from Romeo Beckham and hitting back at rumours that she dated his brother Brooklyn.
The brunette beauty, who only recently split from Romeo, 22, shot down accusations that she was romantically involved with Brooklyn, 26 in a statement posted to her Instagram account, explaining: ‘I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative.
‘I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question.
Soon after Romeo shared a cryptic post about ‘spreading unnecessary lies’.
And now in a new interview with The Sunday Times Style Magazine, the DJ and model has opened up about how she deals with the limelight and juggling rumours about herself.
She said: ‘There are situations that you find yourself in that present you with new aspects, but at the same time I think it has always been something that I’ve been around and seen, so I just take it day by day and try to focus on the positives.

‘Sometimes it’s difficult to block things out because a lot of the time there are things said that are not necessarily true or necessarily positive, and your instinctive reaction is to want to be like, no, that’s not true!
‘But I think what I’ve learnt, at this point in life, is to try and take it with a pinch of salt.’
Kim continued: ‘It’s definitely tough, whatever it is, when people are saying things about you that aren’t necessarily true and, most importantly in my opinion, don’t align with your character and your values.
‘You want to turn around and reply to every comment and have your say in it, but at the end of the day you just can’t.’
Kim had been at the centre of the Beckham family fallout, after Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz, 30, reportedly claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her.
Things came to a head when Brooklyn and Nicola were no shows at any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations last month, with The Mail revealing that Kim has been made the ‘scapegoat’ in the feud.
Brooklyn and his wife Nicola snubbed the football legend David’s five celebrations to mark his milestone birthday, including celebrations in Miami, London, Paris the Cotswolds and a boys fishing trip to Scotland.
He also failed to acknowledge his dad for Father’s Day, despite David and Victoria publicly reaching out to their son.

Earlier this month the Mail exclusively revealed Kim and Romeo had split after seven months together.
Sources said how the pair’s relationship had ‘fizzled out’ and their parting had ‘nothing to do’ with Nicola Peltz.
A pal said: ‘Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don’t always last forever and they decided to split up.
‘They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It’s a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn’t to be.
‘It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them.’
Kim, is the well-heeled granddaughter of renowned post-war sculptor and painter William Turnbull, while her father Alex Turnbull and uncle Johnny were part of the post-punk band 23 Skidoo, formed in 1979.
She dated Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s son Rocco, and through that connection was part of a tightknit friendship group in 2016 which included Brooklyn.
Kim and Brooklyn were undeniably close for a brief period – as photographs of them together at the time show – but suggestions that they were ever an item are wide of the mark.
Kim shared a firm statement about the rumours a week ago, insisting she has never been romantically involved with Brooklyn
That Kim has now been ‘thrown to the wolves’ as the reason behind the family row is ‘deeply upsetting’ to Brooklyn’s parents and brothers.
US website TMZ wrote at the time: ‘Sources say Brooklyn and Nicola were told to show up to the main celebrations or they wouldn’t get a chance to see the family… leaving the two saddened because they simply won’t be around Brooklyn’s brother Romeo and his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull.’
‘Sources’ also told the news outlet that Nicola can’t stand to be in Kim’s company.
