Brooklyn Beckham has been strongly criticised for what commentators describe as "going nuclear" in his public attack on his famous parents, Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria Beckham. The 26-year-old model and aspiring photographer's accusations that his parents attempted to "ruin" his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz have sparked significant debate and divided public opinion.
Journalist Delivers Scathing Rebuke
In a sharply worded newspaper column published today, journalist and Loose Women star Jane Moore directly addressed Brooklyn Beckham, arguing that his actions were "downright wrong" and represented a significant misjudgment. Writing in the form of a personal letter to the young celebrity, Moore suggested that instead of "counting your blessings and cutting your parents a little slack, you've decided to go nuclear."
The columnist took particular issue with Brooklyn's suggestion that his parents' love might be conditional upon his "usefulness to the family brand," describing this assertion as "wilfully cruel" and fundamentally incorrect. Moore's critique forms part of a growing chorus of voices questioning the wisdom of Brooklyn's very public family dispute.
The Privilege of the Beckham Name
Central to Moore's argument is the contention that Brooklyn Beckham enjoys what she terms a "mollycoddled existence" that derives entirely from his famous surname. "The reality of the situation is that pretty much your entire, mollycoddled existence is based on the fact that your surname is Beckham," Moore wrote, adding the pointed remark: "Or should I say 'Peltz-Beckham', as it is now."
This perspective suggests that Brooklyn risks damaging the very foundation of his privileged lifestyle through his public criticisms of the parents who provided him with his celebrity status and opportunities. The journalist emphasised that the young model should reconsider threatening this advantageous position.
Wedding Controversy Fuels Family Rift
The current dispute appears to have been reignited by Brooklyn's recent comments about his mother's behaviour at his wedding to Nicola Peltz four years ago. The model expressed particular anger this week about what he described as "inappropriate" dancing by Victoria Beckham during the celebrations.
According to sources familiar with the situation, when the 51-year-old former singer was called onto the stage during the wedding reception, she reportedly wrapped her arms around her eldest son before nuzzling into his neck. Further allegations suggest Victoria may have "grinded" on her son during the dance, moves that Brooklyn claims left him feeling "uncomfortable" and "humiliated" on what should have been his special day.
Public Disownment and Counter Claims
Brooklyn Beckham made his feelings abundantly clear this week through a bombshell statement in which he effectively disowned his parents publicly. The star explained that he felt compelled to speak out to counter what he described as "lies" that he believes his parents have circulated to "preserve their own facade."
This dramatic development follows what appears to have been a difficult year or so in family relations, with tensions simmering beneath the surface before erupting into public view through Brooklyn's candid comments and social media activity.
Supporters Call for Evidence Release
Despite the criticism from commentators like Jane Moore, Brooklyn Beckham does have supporters urging him to take his allegations further. Some fans have encouraged the London-born celebrity to release video footage of the wedding incident, believing this would provide "the ultimate proof" that his claims about his mother's inappropriate behaviour are justified.
These supporters argue that visual evidence would substantiate Brooklyn's version of events and validate his decision to speak out against his parents' actions. The potential release of such footage remains uncertain but could significantly escalate the already tense family situation.
Future Reconciliation Prospects
In her column, Jane Moore offered Brooklyn Beckham some perspective about potential future understanding. She suggested that if his marriage to Nicola Peltz endures and the couple eventually have children of their own, Brooklyn might develop greater appreciation for parental challenges.
"When that time comes, I hope you're man enough to make an apology to your parents that's as public as this ill-advised takedown," Moore wrote, acknowledging that "all parents have their flaws and most just do their best under whatever circumstances they're in."
The journalist concluded with a pointed warning about Brooklyn's current position: "If your marriage fails, what then? Hopefully it won't because, now, it's all you've got." This remark underscores the high stakes involved in the family dispute and the potential consequences of Brooklyn's very public approach to airing grievances.
