Hailie Jade, the daughter of rap icon Eminem, has publicly addressed the recent allegations made by Brooklyn Beckham against his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, during an episode of her podcast, Just a Little Shady. The influencer delved into the controversy surrounding the Beckham family's internal rift, particularly focusing on the pervasive 'toxic boy mum' rhetoric that has emerged in the wake of Brooklyn's claims.
Brooklyn Beckham's Explosive Allegations
Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of the famed footballer and former Spice Girl, took to Instagram on 19 January to reveal what he described as the 'truth' about his parents. In a series of Stories, he accused them of disrespectful behaviour towards his wife, Nicola Peltz, and spreading 'countless lies in the media' to control the narrative around their family. This public outburst has sparked widespread speculation, challenging the Beckhams' previously polished public image and hinting at long-standing tensions.
Hailie Jade's Perspective on the 'Toxic Boy Mum' Narrative
During her podcast, Hailie Jade expressed a nuanced view of the situation, acknowledging she can 'see both sides' but noting that many people readily believe boy mums are toxic. She referenced Victoria Beckham's history of public scrutiny, suggesting it has shaped perceptions. 'Like, this has been going on a long time. Literally our entire lives,' Hailie explained. 'So people already have this perception of her and then being like, 'Well she's insecure and she's this and she's that' and then being like, 'Oh, well it fits that mold of putting that on to her sons and wanting her sons to be that.''
Hailie also pointed out that Brooklyn's siblings, Romeo and Cruz Beckham, have shown support for their parents, which complicates the narrative. 'So then people are like, 'Okay, if there's five people who are saying like, 'No, this is the truth,' and one that's not, maybe there is something going on.' I don't know. I guess we'll find out,' she remarked, highlighting the family dynamics at play.
Personal Reflections and Family Concerns
Despite her analysis, Hailie Jade maintained an impartial stance, focusing on how the drama might impact her own family life. As a new mother herself, having welcomed her first child, Elliot Marshall McClintock, with husband Evan McClintock in March 2025, she expressed hope not to fall into the 'toxic boy mum' category. 'I have no say, I hope I don't fall into that [toxic boy mum] category,' she said, reflecting on the pressures of parenting in the public eye.
Background of the Beckham Family Feud
The rift between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents reportedly began around April 2022, following his marriage to Nicola Peltz. Since then, the couple has relocated to Los Angeles, distancing themselves geographically from his parents, who are primarily based in London. In his Instagram post, Brooklyn accused his parents of trying to 'ruin' his relationship since before the wedding and interfering with their nuptials. He firmly stated, '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,' indicating a deep-seated conflict with no immediate resolution in sight.
This unfolding saga continues to captivate public attention, raising questions about celebrity family dynamics, media narratives, and the challenges of maintaining personal relationships under intense scrutiny.
