Another tense interaction between Victoria Beckham and her daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz has resurfaced online, going viral as supporters argue that Brooklyn Beckham's mother "is not the problem" in the escalating family conflict.
Viral Clip Reignites Family Drama
Four days after Brooklyn Beckham published a scathing six-page statement distancing himself from his famous family, a clip from October 2022 during Paris Fashion Week has begun circulating widely on TikTok. The footage shows Nicola Peltz engaged in conversation with a blonde woman while Victoria Beckham appears to linger awkwardly nearby, struggling to join the discussion.
In the video, Nicola stands with her back turned to both Brooklyn and Victoria as she speaks with another attendee. Brooklyn's younger sister Harper can be seen standing close by during the exchange. Victoria appears to hover uncomfortably in the background, seemingly excluded from the conversation.
Divided Reactions from Fans
The TikTok user who shared the clip captioned it: "Leaked footage from 2022 of the Beckhams, Victoria is not the problem..." This sparked a wave of conflicting opinions in the comments section.
Some viewers criticised Nicola's behaviour, with one commenting: "Even when talking to someone you turn and at least say hello and excuse yourself and say you're talking to a friend and won't be long." Another added: "Having a conversation that didn't include queen Victoria? How dare she?" while a third remarked: "I never heard anything good about Nicola."
However, others defended Nicola's actions, writing: "She's talking to someone she's not being rude," and "If she's talking to someone what's the problem." Additional supportive comments included: "What are you talking about... she's having a conversation," and "she was chatting to someone . not rude at all."
Brooklyn's Explosive Statement
The viral clip emerges in the wake of Brooklyn Beckham's shocking public statement, in which the 26-year-old aspiring chef declared he has "no interest in reconciling" with his family, including father David Beckham. Despite previously describing himself as a "mama's boy," Brooklyn directed particularly vitriolic comments toward his mother Victoria, with reports suggesting his words left her "on the floor in pieces."
Among numerous allegations, Brooklyn claimed his mother "hijacked" his first dance at his 2022 wedding to Nicola, accusing her of dancing "very inappropriately on me in front of everyone." He also asserted that his parents have been attempting to sabotage his relationship with Nicola since before their wedding.
Recent Sightings and Family Activities
Despite the global attention on their family drama, Brooklyn and Nicola were spotted looking relaxed and happy during a beach walk in Malibu with their rescue dog, Lamb. The couple appeared more affectionate than ever, with Brooklyn's arm wrapped around his wife as they strolled along the coast.
Meanwhile, other family members have been pursuing their own engagements. Brooklyn's brother Romeo arrived in Paris with his girlfriend Kim Turnbull for Fashion Week, while youngest brother Cruz promoted his new music. Their father David attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he spoke about media and youth without addressing his eldest son's statement.
Victoria Beckham remains in the UK and hasn't been publicly sighted since the claims emerged. She has maintained her social media presence by promoting her fashion brand and celebrating milestones, including wishing former Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton happy birthday and sharing Cruz's achievement of selling out his upcoming live show.
Supporting Claims and Wider Fallout
Brooklyn's allegations about his wedding first dance have received some corroboration. On Wednesday, his wedding DJ Fat Tony shared a video clip with the caption: "POV: Victoria Beckham during Brooklyn's first dance," adding "Actual video footage it's true I was there!" Fat Tony's partner Stavros Agapiou also commented on Instagram: "I was there and she did, he's telling the truth," though this post was later deleted.
In his comprehensive statement, Brooklyn detailed multiple grievances, including claims that Victoria cancelled making Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute, that his parents pressured him to sign away rights to his name before the wedding, and that his mother refused to help when Nicola asked for support saving displaced dogs during Los Angeles fires earlier this year.
The family rift has resulted in Brooklyn and Nicola missing significant family celebrations in recent months, including David Beckham's 50th birthday and knighthory celebrations. Brooklyn now describes himself as estranged from his entire family, stating he has "no wishes to reconcile."
Unexpected Chart Success
In an ironic twist following the public fallout, Victoria Beckham has achieved her first solo number one on the iTunes chart in the UK and Ireland. Her 2001 single "Not Such An Innocent Girl" surged to the top position driven by a social media campaign determined to "fix the national tragedy" that "Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a solo #1."
The campaign has been widely shared across social platforms, with one viral post reading: "Nothing says 'British Culture' like collectively deciding to send Posh to the top of the charts because her son roasted her on Insta. Imagine both their faces." The post has been shared by numerous celebrities including comedian Katherine Ryan and television personality Luisa Zissman.
As the Beckham family drama continues to unfold publicly, with old clips resurfacing and new statements emerging, the divide appears to be deepening rather than healing, leaving fans and observers divided about where the true responsibility lies for this very public family breakdown.
