Brooklyn Beckham has broken his long-held silence with a series of shocking allegations against his world-famous parents, Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham. In an explosive social media post on Monday, the 26-year-old former model and chef claimed his parents attempted to sabotage his relationship with his billionaire wife, Nicola Peltz, and detailed a bitter family rift that has been simmering for years.
The Core Allegations: Pressure, Insults and Exclusion
In a detailed Instagram statement, Brooklyn laid bare the grievances that have led to a very public estrangement. He alleged the conflict intensified in the lead-up to his lavish 2022 wedding to actress and heiress Nicola Peltz. He claimed his parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe him into signing away the commercial rights to his own name just weeks before the ceremony. "They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated," he wrote, suggesting his refusal permanently damaged their relationship.
The accusations grew more personal as Brooklyn stated his mother, Victoria, called him "evil". This alleged insult was reportedly due to his decision over wedding seating arrangements, where he chose to honour his paternal grandmother and Nicola's grandmother at the top table instead of other family members.
Wedding Drama and Ongoing Disrespect
Brooklyn's account of his wedding day included further discomfort. He accused Victoria of "hijacking" his first dance with Nicola, leaving him feeling "uncomfortable and humiliated". The post also claimed a concerted campaign of disrespect towards his wife, stating, "My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one."
Perhaps one of the most cutting revelations was the claim that the night before the wedding, unnamed family members told Brooklyn that Nicola was 'not blood' and 'not family'. He also alleged that since he began standing up for himself, he has faced "endless attacks" from his parents, both privately and through the press, and that even his younger brothers were encouraged to target him on social media before blocking him last summer.
Birthday Snub and the Path to Estrangement
The estrangement appeared to reach a peak around David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in May last year. While it was noted at the time that Brooklyn was absent, his new claim is that he and Nicola did travel to London to attend, only to be turned away. Brooklyn asserted that his father would only meet him under the condition that Nicola was not invited, calling it "a slap in the face". He added that during a subsequent family trip to Los Angeles, his parents refused to see him at all.
This very public airing of private grievances marks a dramatic new chapter in the long-rumoured Beckham family feud. The couple's decision to spend Christmas alone now appears part of a wider pattern of separation. Representatives for David and Victoria Beckham have been approached for comment regarding these serious allegations.
