Brooklyn Peltz Beckham publicly rejected any possibility of reconciling with his family and accused his parents of orchestrating media attacks against him and his wife.
The eldest son of Sir David and Lady Beckham addressed long-standing speculation regarding a family feud in a series of social media posts. He claimed he had tried to keep the situation private but felt compelled to correct false narratives.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he wrote.
He alleged that his parents and their team have consistently leaked false stories to the press to protect their public image.
He wrote: “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
Much of the statement focused on the treatment of his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. He claimed his family has consistently disrespected her despite their efforts to unite the families. He specifically alleged that his mother refused to finish making Nicola’s wedding dress at the last minute and later interrupted the couple’s first dance to dance inappropriately with him.
Peltz Beckham also criticised the family’s business dynamics. He alleged his parents attempted to bribe him into signing away rights to his name weeks before his wedding and punished him financially when he refused.
“Brand Beckham comes first,” he wrote.
He also addressed his absence from Sir David’s 50th birthday party. He claimed he travelled to London to see his father but was rejected for a week because he requested a private meeting rather than a public appearance.
“He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner,” he wrote.
He described a childhood filled with overwhelming anxiety that has only subsided since he distanced himself from his parents.
“For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared,” he wrote.
Kursiv also reports that former England captain David Beckham has been knighted by King Charles in recognition of his contribution to football and British society.
