The Beckham family is reportedly in shock after Brooklyn Beckham starred in a cheeky advertisement that appears to reference his family estrangement. Parents David and Victoria are said to be 'devastated' by the ad.
Harper's Attempt at Reconciliation
Tensions have escalated since the weekend, when Harper, 14, tried to deliver a handwritten letter to her older brother Brooklyn, 27. He and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31, were not home, but photos of the attempt were taken, leading Brooklyn to believe it was staged. The Beckhams have since rallied around Harper, who was left unanswered at his Beverly Hills residence. Now, she is reported to be 'inconsolable' after Brooklyn's latest jab.
Brooklyn's DoorDash Ad Sparks Outrage
After Brooklyn severed ties with his family in a bombshell Instagram post in January, the photographer has been focusing on work. As the World Cup begins, Brooklyn became the face of delivery company DoorDash. In the new advertisement, he smirks and jokes: 'You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home. It's a long story.'
The ad is widely interpreted as mocking his family and parents, following his scathing tirade against the Beckhams earlier this year. The backlash was so intense that Brooklyn's team had to disable comments on the post.
Family and Fans React
Friends of the family are fuming, saying the advertisement has reignited tensions. A source close to the Beckhams told the Daily Mail: 'To do an advert based on estrangement from family as if it's a joke when his family is devastated and his sister and grandparents are inconsolable is shocking. Especially from someone who claims he wants peace and privacy.'
Fans were also confused by the ad's hypocrisy. One user commented: 'Desperate, this is so disturbing - a cliffhanger.' Another wrote: 'You know what you were doing with this commercial. Am I the only one who finds the irony in him doing this ad?'
The DoorDash ad ends with the message: 'It's complicated, more soon,' suggesting further controversial ads may be released.
