DJ Fat Tony has claimed that he was asked to speak out about the "really sad" family feud between Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham. The celebrity DJ, real name Tony Marnoch, performed at Nicola and Brooklyn's wedding in 2022 and appeared on ITV's This Morning earlier this year to discuss the ongoing rift following Brooklyn's bombshell statement that appeared to expose the tension between him and his famous parents.
The aspiring chef claimed he did "not want to reconcile" with his parents, accusing them of attempting to control the public narrative surrounding their family's every move while also ruining his wedding to his wife, Nicola. His statement, shared in January on social media, came after months of speculation of a feud between Sir David and Victoria and their 27-year-old son, during which he missed a number of big family occasions, such as David's 50th birthday and the former Manchester United footballer receiving a Knighthood from King Charles III.
Now, in an interview with The Telegraph, Marnoch has revealed that he publicly addressed the Beckham family drama as he was asked to do so by Brooklyn and his wife. "Yeah, I was (asked to speak). There's… a WhatsApp group," he said, referring to a group chat between himself, Brooklyn and Nicola. The musician, 60, continued: "I just kind of thought, you know what, I'm not going to throw anyone under a bus, I just spoke from the heart. I wasn't there to slag off Victoria and David. I wasn't spilling the beans. Of course, that escalated into a million people turning into lawyers, saying, 'You signed an NDA' or whatever. I didn't."
While appearing on the ITV daytime show back in January, Marnoch said he thought the feud began when American singer Marc Anthony had asked for "the most beautiful woman in the room" to come to the stage at the wedding. Guests were said to have believed it was for Nicola's first dance with Brooklyn, but Victoria was instead called to the stage to dance with her son, prompting Nicola to leave the room in tears.
The feud remains ongoing, and Brooklyn has not made a public appearance with his parents nor acknowledged them on social media since his explosive statement, in which he also claimed his parents put "Brand Beckham" first. Marnoch told The Telegraph: "I always like to see a happy ending, and I think that they will as a family all get back together. It's really sad. And let's all throw bricks, right? You know, when you are a big organisation – and it is a big organisation, the Beckhams; it's not just a family, it's a massive brand – that brand's protected."
Victoria addressed the feud with Brooklyn for the first time in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, and said she and Sir David, who are also parents to sons Cruz and Romeo and daughter Harper, "love our children so much" and have "always tried to be the best parents".
