‘No contact’ culture is ripping apart families as Beckham drama brings clashes to light: ‘Enough is enough’
NY Post
Completely severing ties to his mother and father wasn’t easy for Jesse Stern.
But according to the 25-year-old Utahn, it was the only option.
Jesse, along with his wife Hazel, spent years enduring a difficult relationship he describes as “death by 1,000 cuts,” from fat-shaming to prying into the couple’s sex life and more.
The couple — who, along with all other story subjects in this article, asked to use pseudonyms and keep some personal details private — has established a “no contact” rule with Jesse’s parents after years of being subjected to their alleged toxicity and manipulation.
But the trouble began long before his 2020 marriage to Hazel, also 25, whom Jesse’s now-estranged mother accused of “turning Jesse into a liar” upon their first meeting.
Jesse exclusively told The Post that he was so finished with his family by the time he cut the cord, he even legally changed his own first name — a name shared with his father.
