In the weeks before Victoria Beckham faced public criticism from her eldest son Brooklyn over her conduct at his wedding, a separate video surfaced showing the fashion icon enjoying a lighthearted dance moment with another of her children.
Festive Footage Re-emerges
The clip, originally shared to middle son Cruz Beckham's Instagram account during the Christmas period, captures Victoria recreating Tom Cruise's famous hallway routine from the 1983 film Risky Business. The 51-year-old mother of four can be seen grooving alongside her 20-year-old son to Bob Seger's classic track Old Time Rock And Roll, in a clear homage to the cinematic moment.
Brooklyn's Explosive Allegations
This festive footage has regained attention following startling claims made by Brooklyn Beckham on Monday. The 26-year-old aspiring photographer launched a series of Instagram stories accusing his parents of being controlling and attempting to undermine his marriage to actress Nicola Peltz.
Among his most serious allegations was the assertion that Victoria had hijacked his first dance at his April 2022 wedding. Brooklyn wrote: "In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead."
He further claimed his mother "danced very inappropriately on me," leaving him feeling profoundly uncomfortable during what should have been a special moment with his new bride.
Divided Public Reaction
Since Brooklyn's revelations emerged, social media users have returned to Cruz's Christmas Instagram reel to share their perspectives, creating a sharply divided response:
- One commenter stated: "Think I believe Brooklyn Beckham about the whole inappropriate dancing now... wtf."
- Another agreed: "Proof she likes to dance inappropriately with her son(s)."
- However, others defended Victoria: "Omg I feel so sorry for Victoria. She really has done her best."
- A different perspective suggested: "You can tell it is Nicola because the things he's mentioned are especially spiteful to Victoria Beckham."
- Another observer commented: "Someone else thought Victoria 'looks like the typical mother-in-law who sees their daughter-in-law as a competition.'"
Contradictory Official Accounts
Brooklyn's version of events appears to conflict with the official documentation of his wedding celebrations. The couple's April 2022 nuptials received extensive coverage from US Vogue, which provided lavish details about the proceedings.
According to the publication:
- The newlyweds' first dance was to South African singer Lloyiso's rendition of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling In Love.
- Later in the evening, around 11pm during the reception, close family friend Marc Anthony performed his track I Need To Know.
- It was at this point that Brooklyn invited his mother on stage for a dance, with David Beckham and their 10-year-old daughter Harper subsequently joining them.
This official account directly contradicts Brooklyn's assertion that his mother was unexpectedly waiting for him on stage, replacing his planned romantic dance with Nicola. The Vogue report suggests the mother-son dance occurred much later in the evening as part of established wedding traditions, rather than disrupting the newlyweds' first dance.
The resurfaced Christmas video with Cruz Beckham adds another layer to this unfolding family narrative, demonstrating Victoria's playful relationship with her children while highlighting the contrasting perspectives emerging about her conduct at family celebrations.
