Wedding Guest Contradicts Brooklyn Beckham's Claims About Victoria's Dance
A guest who attended Brooklyn Beckham's lavish Florida wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022 has come forward to defend his mother Victoria, following a series of explosive allegations made by the 26-year-old photographer earlier this week. The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham had claimed in a six-page statement that his mother, 51, danced "inappropriately" on him during what was supposed to be his romantic first dance with his 31-year-old wife.
Conflicting Accounts of the Controversial Moment
Brooklyn wrote in his statement: 'In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.' He further explained that he and Nicola wanted to renew their vows to create new memories that bring joy rather than anxiety and embarrassment.
However, one wedding guest has now offered a contrasting perspective, telling The Mirror that Victoria's dancing was 'anything but sleazy'. The guest suggested that bride Nicola Peltz was actually furious because her mother-in-law 'stole her limelight' after performer Marc Anthony heaped praise on the former Spice Girl throughout his set.
'She was a bit wooden but not sleazy. It was inappropriate but only in the sense that she appeared to be the centre of attention when it should have been about the bride instead,' the wedding guest explained. 'Our takeaway was that there was no grinding. But it was a bit of a stiff, awkward performance. It did rather feel like the Beckham show. Marc Anthony had been praising Victoria in between songs, and then you had her go up on the dance floor for this moment. It was a bit much, and Nicola didn’t appear happy.'
DJ Fat Tony Joins the Conversation
Meanwhile, DJ Fat Tony, who performed a late-night set at the wedding, joined the online discussion by poking fun at Brooklyn's claims that his mother 'hijacked my first dance with my wife'. Tony shared a video of Lucy Punch's character Amanda from the BBC sitcom Motherland dancing wildly to the track Drank & Drugs, captioning it 'POV: Victoria Beckham during Brooklyn's first dance' and adding 'Actual video footage it’s true I was there!'
Tony's partner Stavros Agapiou initially backed up Brooklyn's claims about inappropriate dancing, commenting 'I was there and she did, he's telling the truth' on Instagram. However, this comment was later deleted, with Stavros instead posting 'Good on him for finally speaking out!'
Reports of Nicola's Distress and Family Tensions
According to Page Six, Nicola Peltz was reportedly so upset by the incident that she left the reception crying after Victoria 'wrapped her arms around Brooklyn and nuzzled into his neck'. A source described the scene: 'She [Victoria] was dancing with him very inappropriately. She took that moment from Nicola, that is the god's truth. Nicola ran out crying. The Beckhams' side of the room was cheering and the Peltz side was quiet. Nicola's friends were saying "You have to go back down". Her face was swollen. She finally came down and was sad the entire evening, it was so heartbreaking.'
Another source claimed that Brooklyn spent the weekend 'agonising' over what to say in his six-page statement, after telling his wife 'f*** it, this ends now'. The insider told The Mirror: 'He thought the abuse towards his wife would never stop until he said something in his own words. He was sick of the lies, and there was no changing his mind….and nor did anyone want to. He was fixated on ending the b******t which he claims his mum and dad are behind.'
The Elusive Footage and Strict Wedding Policies
As fans clamour to see the footage at the centre of this family rift, sources indicate the video will likely never surface because Brooklyn himself holds the only recording of the controversial moment. The couple famously enforced an ultra-strict no-phones policy at their lavish Florida nuptials, requiring all 500 guests to surrender their personal devices upon arrival. These were sealed inside electronically locked pouches, with attendees instead being handed retro flip phones for basic photographs.
This means Brooklyn and Nicola retain exclusive control over all official footage from the day, with the alleged 'embarrassing' dance existing only in material owned by the couple themselves. A source revealed: 'Brooklyn holds all the power when it comes to the video of Victoria dancing "inappropriately" on him at his wedding to Nicola. You can completely understand why Brooklyn would never have wanted the footage made public. Until now, he has stayed silent, but he is finally speaking out about his experiences with his family and, in particular, how deeply let down he felt by his mother on his wedding day.'
The source continued: 'Thousands of people are now speculating about just how inappropriate Victoria's performance really was, and releasing the footage could be the ultimate proof that everything Brooklyn has alleged is completely accurate. The only person who can lawfully release that footage is Brooklyn himself. And while he's clearly been pushed to breaking point, he may still feel it's not something he wants to relive, especially on such a hugely public scale.'
