In a surprising turn of events, Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of British power couple Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham, has taken to social media to air his grievances against his famous parents. In a scathing six-page Instagram post, Brooklyn has made a series of explosive claims, ranging from his mother “hijacking” the couple’s first dance at their wedding to allegations of the Beckhams trying to “bribe” him into signing away the rights to his name.
The post has sent shockwaves through the British media, with fans and commentators alike dissecting every detail and trying to determine the truth behind the allegations. While the Beckham family has yet to respond, the revelations have shed light on the apparent rift within the once-perceived perfect family.
One of the most controversial claims made by Brooklyn is that his mother, Victoria, “hijacked” the couple’s first dance at their wedding, which he had planned “weeks in advance” to be a romantic moment with his wife, Nicola Peltz. Instead, he alleges that Victoria danced “very inappropriately” with him in front of their 500 wedding guests, leaving him feeling “uncomfortable and humiliated.”
The issue of the wedding dress has also been a point of contention, with Brooklyn accusing his fashion designer mother of “cancelling” the making of Nicola’s dress at the “eleventh hour,” forcing the bride to urgently find a new gown. However, Nicola has previously stated that the decision was due to Victoria’s atelier being unable to finish the dress in time, and the couple ultimately chose a Valentino couture creation.
Furthermore, Brooklyn has claimed that his parents have “repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe” him into “signing away the rights” to his name, which he says “affected the payday” and has led to him being “treated the same since.” This allegation has been described as “remarkable” by entertainment reporter Jodie McCallum, who notes that it could potentially raise legal issues.
The family rift appears to extend beyond the wedding, with Brooklyn also addressing his and Nicola’s absence from Sir David’s 50th birthday party in London last year. He claims they were “rejected for a week” as they tried to plan “quality time” with his father, who ultimately agreed to meet him on the condition that Nicola was not present, which Brooklyn called a “slap in the face.”
The post also touches on the Beckhams’ carefully curated public image, with Brooklyn alleging that his family values “public promotion and endorsements above all else” and that “family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media.”
As the dust settles on this family drama, it remains to be seen how the Beckhams will respond to these explosive revelations. For now, the public is left to ponder the reality behind the carefully crafted facade of one of Britain’s most prominent families.
