In the wake of Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive revelations about his estrangement from his famous family, one of the most scandalous claims was that his mother, Victoria Beckham, danced “inappropriately” at his wedding. This allegation has sparked a frenzy of speculation, with many wondering whether the former Spice Girl’s behaviour was as outrageous as her son made it out to be.

However, the truth lies in the hands of Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, as they are the only ones who possess the footage of the alleged incident. Conflicting reports suggest that Victoria was either “grinding” on her son, leaving Nicola in “tears,” or simply “tipsy” with “no malice” intended. If the footage were to be released, it could provide the ultimate proof or disproof of Brooklyn’s claims.

Interestingly, the couple took strict measures to prevent any unauthorised recordings at their lavish 2022 wedding. Guests’ phones were confiscated and sealed in electronically locked pouches, and they were instead given retro flip phones to take photos. Furthermore, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) were signed, ensuring that no leaked videos would emerge from anyone in attendance.

A source close to the situation told The Daily Mail, “Thousands of people are now speculating about just how inappropriate Victoria’s performance really was, and releasing the footage could be the ultimate proof that everything Brooklyn has alleged is completely accurate.” However, the decision to release the footage lies solely with Brooklyn, and while he has clearly been pushed to breaking point, he may still feel it’s not something he wants to revisit, especially on such a public scale.

In his scathing Instagram post, Brooklyn accused his mother of “hijacking” his first dance with Nicola, claiming she danced “very inappropriately” in front of the 500 wedding guests. This, he said, was one of the reasons the couple decided to renew their vows soon after, without the Beckham family in attendance, to create new memories that bring them “joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.”

The conflicting accounts of the night’s events have only added to the confusion. A Vogue journalist who attended the wedding claimed that Victoria took to the dancefloor long after the couple’s first dance, and that she was only invited on stage by her son later in the evening. However, the boyfriend of the wedding’s DJ, Stavros Agapiou, initially seemed to corroborate Brooklyn’s version of events, before swiftly deleting his comment.

As the Beckham family remains silent on the matter, the truth behind the dance debacle remains elusive, with the only people who can shed light on it being Brooklyn and Nicola themselves. The question of whether Victoria’s behaviour was truly as “inappropriate” as her son claimed continues to be a source of intense speculation and debate.
