Victoria Beckham’s fans left amused by new Facebook chatbot
Uh oh: Fans of Victoria Beckham have been left amused after a marketing stunt for her fashion brand failed and insinuated that she wanted a divorce
Mocking up some of her fans’ questions, the publication asked the automated Victoria: ‘Would divorcing David make you happy?’ to which the chatbot answered: ‘Very’.
And while it admitted that David’s money made it ‘very’ happy, the online tool went all coy when they asked ‘Are you happy with David?’ and ‘What do you think of Theresa May’s efforts to navigate Brexit?’, responding with emojis.
MailOnline have contacted Victoria Beckham’s representative for comment.

Victoria recently announced her new chatbot feature with Facebook and said in a video on the social media site that she wanted to keep her fans ‘up-to-date’ with all her London Fashion Week goings on.
She said: ‘I wanted to let you know that the incredible team at Facebook have created a chatbot version of me, Victoria Beckham, so I can virtually keep you up to date with everything that’s happening during London Fashion Week.’

The stunt comes after David and Victoria finally addressed the state of their 19-year marriage in a recent interview with Vogue, having been plagued by split rumours in recent months.
Cutting to the chase, Victoria admitted persistent speculation regarding the state of their marriage comes with the territory.
‘People have been making things up about our relationship for 20 years, so David and I are pretty used to ignoring the nonsense and just carrying on as normal,’ she said. ‘But these things have a wider effect on the people around us, and that’s unfair.’
For the October edition of the iconic publication, the superstar couple have taken part in a photoshoot with their entire brood – children Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 13, Harper, seven, and even their beloved cocker spaniel, Olive.

Sharing: Cutting to the chase, Victoria admitted persistent speculation regarding the state of their marriage comes with the territory. ‘People have been making things up about our relationship for 20 years, so David and I are pretty used to ignoring the nonsense and just carrying on as normal’
‘After the latest furore, they once again took the decision to be open and honest with them, reassuring them Daddy is not a cheat.’
The source added that while the couple of 21 years laughed off the rumours publicly, they took it ‘much more seriously’ at home.
At the time of the divorce rumours – which seemed to involve speculation about David’s faithfulness to his wife – Jo Milloy, a spokesman for Victoria, told the Daily Mail the gossip was ‘absolute nonsense’.
Meanwhile, former England football captain David’s spokesman, Simon Oliveira, dubbed the claims ‘embarrassing and laughable’.
Overcome: Back in June, the Beckhams were suddenly forced to vehemently deny speculation that they were heading for a divorce. It later emerged that during this turbulent time Victoria sat down with her four children to reassure them about the state of their parents’ marriage
‘There is no statement due, no divorce, and a lot of Chinese whispers and fake social media news,’ he said. ‘This is all very bizarre and an embarrassing waste of time.’
He then added, bluntly, that the rumours were ‘a crock of s**t’.
Claims the couple were planning to divorce circulated on social media earlier in the summer, prompting high street bookmaker Paddy Power to suspend betting on them separating.
Paddy Power’s move came despite there having been no suggestion the couple were having any marriage difficulties.
