Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly quit social media and is currently lying low following a series of explosive claims made against his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, earlier this week. The eldest son of the famous couple posted a lengthy statement on Instagram on Monday night, detailing his reasons for cutting his parents out of his life, before apparently stepping away from online platforms entirely.
Shocking Allegations and Immediate Fallout
According to sources close to the situation, Brooklyn is now taking a complete break from social media and will not be reading any responses from his family should they choose to address his allegations publicly. This dramatic development comes after he changed his profile picture to a photograph showing the back of his neck, which features a tattoo of his wife Nicola Peltz's eyes.
In his statement, Brooklyn claimed he had been silent for years and made every effort to keep family matters private, but felt compelled to speak out after what he described as continued press manipulation by his parents and their team. He stated unequivocally: "I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."
Specific Accusations Against Parents
The detailed allegations included claims that his parents have controlled narratives in the press about their family for his entire life, describing what he called "performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships" as fixtures of the life he was born into. He accused them of spreading "countless lies" to the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, in order to protect their own facade.
Perhaps most damaging were Brooklyn's specific accusations regarding his wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022. He claimed his mother Victoria backed out of making Nicola's wedding dress at the "eleventh hour" and "hijacked" their first dance to dance "very inappropriately on me," adding that he had "never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated."
Brothers and Business Matters
Brooklyn's statement also targeted his brothers, Romeo and Cruz, accusing them of attacking him on social media before blocking him. Additionally, he claimed his parents tried to pressure and bribe him into "signing away the rights to my name" and called him "evil" for including his and Nicola's nannies at their wedding table.
Family Responses and Social Media Reactions
While David and Victoria Beckham have not directly addressed Brooklyn's specific claims, David did acknowledge in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos that his children had "made mistakes" on social media. Victoria, meanwhile, has curtailed her usual social media activity but broke her silence to post birthday tributes to former Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton, seemingly ignoring the controversy surrounding her family.
The allegations have sparked significant online discussion, with Victoria reportedly becoming the target of thousands of people mocking her on social media through memes and videos referencing Brooklyn's claims about the wedding dance. One source claimed there was "no malice" from Victoria regarding the alleged dance incident, but a wedding guest corroborated Brooklyn's version of events.
Corroborating Accounts
DJ Fat Tony's partner Stavros Agapiou initially commented on Instagram: "I was there and she did, he's telling the truth," though this was later deleted and replaced with a more general statement of support for Brooklyn speaking out. Other guests described Victoria "getting up on stage and wrapping her arms around Brooklyn" and "nuzzling into his neck," with one telling Page Six: "She was dancing with him very inappropriately. She took that moment from Nicola, that is the God's truth."
Background of Family Tensions
This public eruption follows months of bubbling tension between the Beckhams and the Peltz family. For most of 2025, though neither side confirmed an ongoing feud, Brooklyn and Nicola appeared to distance themselves from the Beckham family, not attending or recognising family events. Brooklyn's statement represents the first time he has publicly addressed these tensions in such explicit detail.
Sources indicate that Brooklyn is "surprised and appreciative of the support he's received" following his statement. As the media storm continues, with Victoria reportedly left "devastated" by the online mockery and Brooklyn maintaining his social media silence, the Beckham family saga shows no immediate signs of resolution.
