David Beckham's son Romeo has been recently abused on fake gay website.

The 12-year-old was branded a "faggot" by cruel Instagram users after trolls, who hijacked an account with 50,000 existing followers and set up a fake profile for Romeo, uploaded an old photo of him, playing football with brothers 16-year-old Brooklyn and 10-year-old Cruz, the Daily Star reported.

Internet bullies bombarded the fake page with insults, with one writing "D***head" and "Faggot," while another calling the Burberry model "Little homo."

The Beckhams spokesman said that sadly they are constantly plagued by fake social media accounts affecting the whole Beckham family, adding that unfortunately this is a downside of being a famous family coupled with an online environment.
