In a dramatic and deeply personal public statement, Brooklyn Beckham has broken his silence on a long-running rift with his famous parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham. The 26-year-old aspiring chef has levelled a series of serious allegations, accusing them of controlling behaviour and claiming his mother branded him "evil" in the lead-up to his lavish 2022 wedding to actress Nicola Peltz.
The Alleged Pressure to 'Sign Away' His Name
One of the most startling revelations from Brooklyn's Instagram post centres on what he describes as a concerted effort by his parents to gain control over his own name. He alleges that in the weeks before his wedding, David and Victoria Beckham repeatedly pressured and even attempted to bribe him into signing a legal agreement concerning the rights to his name.
Brooklyn claims the proposed deal would have had lasting implications not just for him, but also for his wife Nicola and any future children. He states his parents were insistent the document be signed before the wedding date, as that would trigger the terms. According to Brooklyn, his refusal to comply damaged a potential financial payday for others and irrevocably altered his relationship with his family.
Wedding Day Drama and 'Inappropriate' Dancing
The wedding itself, a multi-million pound affair in Palm Beach, Florida, is portrayed by Brooklyn as a source of humiliation rather than joy. He sensationally claims that his mother, Victoria, effectively "hijacked" his first dance with his new bride.
He recounts that after being called to the stage by singer Marc Anthony for what was meant to be a romantic dance with Nicola, he found his mother waiting instead. Brooklyn alleges Victoria then "danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone," leaving him feeling profoundly uncomfortable and embarrassed. This experience is so tainted that the couple now wishes to renew their vows to create positive memories.
'Evil' Slurs and Disrespect Towards Nicola Peltz
The roots of the tension appear to extend back to wedding planning. Brooklyn explains that the "evil" comment from his mother arose during a discussion about seating arrangements. He and Nicola wanted his paternal grandmother, Sandra, and Nicola's maternal grandmother, Naunni, to sit with them, as neither had their husbands present, while their parents had their own adjacent table.
Furthermore, Brooklyn accuses his family of continually disrespecting his wife. He claims they showed disregard for Nicola by inviting women from his past to family events, a move he implies was deliberate and hurtful. These accumulated incidents paint a picture of a family struggle that has been simmering for years, now boiling over into a very public domain.
The fallout from these explosive claims is yet to be fully seen, with no immediate public response from David or Victoria Beckham. The allegations, however, have cast a stark new light on the inner dynamics of one of Britain's most iconic celebrity families.
