Victoria Beckham has reportedly sought solace in a lavish new purchase amidst an escalating and very public rift with her eldest son, Brooklyn. The fashion designer was spotted behind the wheel of a brand new £225,000 Ferrari last week, just as the family dispute reached a new intensity.
Brooklyn's Explosive Allegations
The 31-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham broke his silence in dramatic fashion on Monday night, releasing a six-page statement that levelled a series of serious accusations against his famous parents. In the extraordinary document, Brooklyn claimed his parents have been 'controlling' him and made repeated attempts to 'ruin' his marriage to actress Nicola Peltz.
He stated unequivocally, 'I do not want to reconcile with my family', and alleged that the couple had pressured him to sign away the rights to his name before his wedding. Brooklyn also accused his mother of cancelling Nicola's wedding dress design at the last minute and described an incident where Victoria allegedly hijacked his first dance at his wedding, dancing 'very inappropriately' with him in front of guests.
A Family Divided in Public View
The fallout from Brooklyn's statement was immediate and visible. While Victoria was seen taking a solo drive in her new supercar in West London, appearing downcast, David Beckham was thousands of miles away at the World Economic Forum in Davos. There, the former footballer faced awkward questions from reporters.
A Sky News journalist asked David if he had a message for Brooklyn, causing the sportsman to turn and walk away without comment. He had earlier recorded a podcast episode on themes of 'resilience, failure, regret and disappointment', scheduled for release on Wednesday.
Brooklyn's statement painted a picture of a family where 'Brand Beckham comes first', alleging that familial affection is measured by social media posts and photo opportunities. He claimed that since distancing himself, his lifelong anxiety has disappeared and he has found 'peace and relief'.
Historical Grievances Surface
The lengthy statement delved into specific grievances dating back to his 2022 wedding. Key allegations from Brooklyn include:
- His parents attempted to 'bribe' him into signing a deal over his name rights before the wedding.
- Family members told him the night before his wedding that Nicola was 'not blood' and 'not family'.
- Victoria Beckham refused to support a charity effort by Nicola to save dogs during LA wildfires.
- He and Nicola were allegedly snubbed during a trip to London for David's birthday, with David only agreeing to meet under the condition Nicola was not invited.
Brooklyn concluded by saying he and his wife seek a life of 'peace, privacy and happiness', away from the 'image, press, or manipulation' he associates with his upbringing. Neither David nor Victoria has issued a formal public response to the detailed allegations as of yet.
