Nicola Peltz Issues Stark 'Me or Your Mother' Ultimatum to Brooklyn Beckham
Nicola Peltz is said to have delivered a dramatic ultimatum to her husband Brooklyn Beckham following their wedding, demanding he choose between her and his mother Victoria Beckham after a series of explosive incidents. According to multiple sources, the actress felt profoundly upstaged by Victoria during the celebrations, leading to a bitter family rift that shows no signs of healing.
Wedding Dance Sparks Emotional Fallout
The crisis reportedly reached its peak after Victoria Beckham's controversial dance with her son during the wedding reception. Brooklyn himself released a scathing six-page statement this week, accusing his mother of 'hijacking' his first dance with Nicola and dancing 'very inappropriately' on him, which left him feeling 'uncomfortable and humiliated'.
DJ Fat Tony, a friend of Brooklyn who performed at the wedding, confirmed the distressing scene to the Daily Mail. He described a three-minute dance to a Latin love song performed by Marc Anthony, during which Victoria was called to the stage instead of the bride. "The timing was inappropriate," Tony stated. "It was meant to be a bride and groom's moment."
The 'Final Straw' Ultimatum
According to a butler who claims to have witnessed the ordeal, Nicola saw the dance incident as the 'final straw' following pre-wedding tensions. The Sun reports that the butler revealed: "After the wedding Nicola was resolute to Brooklyn - you need to choose me or your mother. She wasn't interested in backing down."
The source further claimed that Nicola explicitly told Brooklyn regarding David and Victoria Beckham: "I don't want to be around them, and you have a decision to make: Me or her." The publication suggests that despite Brooklyn's attempts to 'talk sense into Nicola', she has 'put her foot down' and refuses to attend any invitations from his parents.
Emotional Aftermath and Public Scrutiny
The emotional impact was immediate and severe. DJ Fat Tony confirmed that Nicola fled the reception in tears, followed by her family, while Brooklyn looked 'humiliated' and 'devastated'. The DJ elaborated on the awkward scene, noting that Brooklyn had his hands on Victoria's waist while she had her arms around his neck during the slow dance.
"It was really awkward for everyone in the room," Tony told ITV's This Morning, while defending Victoria's actions as being thrown into the situation by musician Marc Anthony. "Victoria was thrown into that situation, and I think too much has been read into it," he suggested, while acknowledging Brooklyn's feelings of discomfort.
Ongoing Family Tensions
The fallout continues to play out publicly, with Victoria Beckham maintaining a low profile since her son's statement. She was seen being driven in a Mercedes while wearing a black hat that covered her eyes, appearing downcast in her first public sighting since the controversy erupted.
DJ Fat Tony, who describes himself as a longtime friend of the Beckham family, appealed for understanding amid the media storm. "Families don't get on sometimes," he reflected. "It's not the Waltons, it's the Beckhams. I'm sure they don't all go to bed at night and say good night and switch the lights off like the Waltons do. There are problems with every family, this one just happened to be played out publicly."
He added poignantly: "Although people have laughed at the memes and they have been incredible, there are still two people here that are in pain. We have to remember that."
