A groom has shared a video of his mother's energetic dance at his wedding in an apparent defence of Victoria Beckham, following claims by her son Brooklyn that she 'hijacked' his first dance with his wife.
Joseph Maine posted a TikTok clip showing his mother being carried around the dance floor by a friend, bouncing with her legs wrapped around him. The video, which has over 25 million views, was captioned: 'In Victoria Beckham's defense, this was my mom at our wedding.'
Brooklyn Beckham, 26, had earlier accused his mother of dancing 'very inappropriately' during his wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022. He claimed the dance was meant to be with his wife, but Victoria took the spotlight instead.
However, Maine's video drew mixed reactions, with some commenters expressing discomfort. One wrote: 'I've never been so uncomfortable,' while another said: 'I haven't seen a single video of Victoria Beckham dancing at the wedding, but I still fear this is worse.'
Maine later told People he was surprised by the backlash, saying: 'I just never imagined people would not be able to see the humor... There's so many expectations for how a mom is 'supposed to act.''
Brooklyn's public attack on his parents, including David Beckham, came on January 19, when he said he was 'standing up' for himself 'for the first time.' DJ Fat Tony, a wedding guest, supported Brooklyn's account, saying Victoria's behaviour was 'inappropriate' due to 'the timing.'
