The 'Be Honest' meme originates from the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham, specifically a scene where Victoria Beckham claims her family grew up 'very working class.' David Beckham hilariously interrupts the interview by peeking around a door frame and repeatedly telling her to 'be honest,' eventually forcing her to admit her father drove a Rolls-Royce to school in the 1980s. The clip instantly went viral across TikTok and X (Twitter) as the ultimate reaction for calling out people who exaggerate their humble beginnings or misrepresent the truth. It is now widely used to debunk 'struggle stories' or to jokingly hold friends accountable for their obvious exaggerations.
