Lily Allen has thrown her support behind Brooklyn Beckham in his very public family dispute, photoshopping his face onto the cover of her 'West End Girl' album. The singer led a wave of celebrity reactions after the 26-year-old chef posted a six-page statement on Instagram, accusing his parents David and Victoria Beckham of being 'controlling' and attempting to ruin his marriage to Nicola Peltz, 31.
Celebrity Reactions to the Explosive Claims
Allen's act of solidarity, placing Brooklyn on the cover of an album famously about her own marital breakdown, was just one of many star-studded responses. Podcaster Vogue Williams joked she would be 'staying up all night' to see the Beckhams' response, while reality star Charlotte Dawson shared a video of herself dancing in a Wonder Woman leotard, captioning it: 'POV: Victoria Beckham on the dancefloor at Brooklyn's wedding.'
However, Dawson later posted a defensive video after receiving online abuse, insisting her post was a 'joke' and that she was 'obsessed' with the Beckhams. Elsewhere, content creator GK Barry gave a humorous analysis, suggesting 'panic stations' in the Beckham household and that Victoria had 'turned to the wine, even in Dry Jan.'
Brooklyn's Detailed Allegations
In his lengthy statement posted on Monday, Brooklyn Beckham did not hold back. He claimed his parents have 'endlessly tried' to sabotage his relationship with Nicola since before their April 2022 wedding. He alleged Victoria cancelled designing Nicola's wedding dress at the 'eleventh hour', forcing a last-minute scramble for a Valentino gown.
He also made startling claims about his wedding day, stating that his mother hijacked his first dance. 'She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone,' he wrote, adding that the humiliation led him and Nicola to renew their vows privately last year without his family present.
Brooklyn further accused his family of blocking him on social media and claimed that when he travelled to the UK for his father's 50th birthday in May 2024, David refused to see him unless Nicola was not invited. He stated that the constant pressure had caused him 'crippling anxiety' throughout his life, which has only subsided since stepping away from his family.
A Family Divided and The Social Media Storm
The feud has seen Brooklyn and Nicola snub significant family events, including David's knighthood celebrations. Brooklyn's statement insisted he has 'no wishes to reconcile' and painted a picture of a family obsessed with public image. 'Brand Beckham comes first,' he wrote. 'Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media.'
The drama has ignited social media, with fans drawing comparisons to Prince Harry's estrangement from the Royal Family and creating memes about the 'inappropriate' dancing allegation. Brooklyn's brothers, Romeo and Cruz, along with sister Harper, were notably absent from the vow renewal. Cruz has previously stated that the family found themselves blocked by Brooklyn, not the other way around.
While Brooklyn shared his statement, Nicola Peltz paid tribute to the late designer Valentino Garavani on her Instagram Stories. The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for the Beckham family for comment.
