Share and Follow

Victoria Beckham reportedly feels a deep sense of betrayal following Brooklyn’s recent revelations about his family’s dynamics. After years of shielding him from negative press, she’s faced with his candid comments and surprising dance revelations.

This unexpected development unfolded as Brooklyn, the 26-year-old eldest of the Beckham children, spoke out about the ongoing family rift. He expressed a lack of desire to mend ties, describing his parents as “controlling and manipulative,” which has left him with “overwhelming anxiety.”

Brooklyn further criticized the family, stating that “Brand Beckham” takes precedence and accusing them of prioritizing public image over genuine family values.

Throughout the years, Victoria, now 51, has diligently worked to protect Brooklyn from stories that might have cast him in an unfavorable light.

According to insiders, the renowned fashion designer typically aims to avoid family disputes. However, she believes that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, have been acting unreasonably in this situation.

They said: ‘Victoria feels betrayed because she’s done everything she can to make them both feel welcome and love Nicola like another daughter.’

In the shock update, the oldest Beckham sibling, 26, said he has no wishes to reconcile with his family and called his parents ‘controlling and manipulative’

The source added to The Mirror: ‘But she feels it’s been thrown back in her face. She would normally do anything to avoid a family fallout, but she thinks they’re both being unreasonable.’

Daily Mail has contacted the Beckhams representative for comment.

The Daily Mail’s Katie Hind previously explained how the Beckhams’ camp ‘leapt into overdrive in Brooklyn’s defence’ when stories such as kiss and tells and tales of him being ‘involved him with the wrong crowd’ surfaced.

His parents have often instructed expensive lawyers to protect him against such stories.

David and Victoria would ‘take back Brooklyn back in a minute’ and are said to be ‘horrified’ by events this week, according to another source.

The eldest son of the Beckham clan went nuclear on their long-running feud on Monday by posting a scathing six-page statement to his Instagram and accused his parents of intentionally trying to ruin his relationship to wife Nicola.

Now, a new source reportedly close to the famous couple has said they would welcome their son back into the fold ‘anytime he wants to reunite with them’ – as they are ‘afraid’ of losing him forever.

The insider said: ‘They are afraid of losing their son and would take him back in a minute. They are a close family, too. Just in a different way than Nicola’s family is.’

The source continued to tell PEOPLE: ‘They love Brooklyn and are horrified about everything.’

Meanwhile, a second source added to the publication: ‘David and Victoria believe time will heal this.

‘They know over time that Brooklyn will come back. They can’t really do anything until then.’

In his scathing post, Brooklyn had accused Victoria of ‘dancing inappropriately’ on him during his 2022 nuptials to Nicola.

Their wedding DJ Fat Tony finally recounted the exact detail of the dance during an appearance on This Morning.

The 60-year-old branded the incident ‘really awkward’ and confirmed that Nicola fled the reception in tears.

Tony, a longtime friend of the Beckhams, claimed that Marc Anthony was to blame, revealing the musician had called Victoria to the dance floor with her son and instructed him, ‘place your hands on your mother’s hips’.

He said: ‘There was no slut-dropping, there was no PVC cat suits, no Spice Girl action!

‘The word “inappropriate”, why I said it was as well, it was the timing, this is what happened.’

Tony continued: ‘What happened was, basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto stage.

‘Brooklyn went on to the stage, and the next minute everyone’s expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then Marc asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage – and then he says “Victoria, come to the stage”.’

He revealed that Brooklyn looked ‘devastated’ at the fact his first dance was with Victoria and not his wife, adding that Nicola left the room ‘crying her eyes out’.

Tony went on: ‘Brooklyn is stuck there on stage, and they do this dance, and Marc Anthony says “put your hands on your mother’s hips” and it was a Latin thing, and the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room…

‘I’ve done an awful lot of Beckham parties in the past, and they are a very dancing close-knit family and love to dance, right? So you know, what we deem as “inappropriate” is not how Brooklyn feels.

‘This is all about how Brooklyn feels. If he feels that it was inappropriate and awkward, it was inappropriate and awkward.

‘What’s sad is that this is the bit that everyone’s taken from the statement, and kind of whitewashed everything else that went on.’

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the DJ said at one point Brooklyn’s hands were on his mother’s waist while her arms were placed around his neck.

‘The timing was inappropriate for me. It was meant to be a bride and groom’s moment,’ he told us.

‘I’m not speaking bad about either party in it, I’m just putting the narrative straight about the dance.’

Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

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. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.” Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. 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.

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
