Brooklyn Beckham has publicly laid bare his grievances against parents David and Victoria Beckham in a six-page Instagram post that has sent shockwaves through fans and media alike. The 26-year-old detailed alleged incidents ranging from wedding day humiliation to disputes over family branding, marking the most direct acknowledgment yet of a deep rift.
Wedding Dance Controversy
One of Brooklyn’s most explosive claims centers on his wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022. He alleged that Victoria “hijacked” his first dance, turning what was meant to be a romantic moment with his wife into an uncomfortable spectacle. British Vogue’s account of the event, however, described Brooklyn inviting his mother on stage, joined by David and sister Harper. The conflicting narratives have fueled online debate, with fans demanding “the tapes” to settle the matter.
Dress-Gate
Brooklyn also accused Victoria of canceling Nicola’s wedding dress at the last minute, forcing her to urgently find an alternative. Nicola ultimately wore Valentino couture, with Vogue reporting a year-long design process. The contradiction between Brooklyn’s claims and earlier interviews has sparked speculation about whether the feud began with the dress.
Name Rights Dispute
Brooklyn alleged his parents pressured him to sign away rights to his name before the wedding, calling it an attempted “bribe.” He claims refusing to do so affected family dynamics and financial arrangements. Observers note this accusation could carry legal implications if challenged.
Birthday Snub
Brooklyn addressed his absence from David’s 50th birthday in May 2025, saying he and Nicola were “rejected” during their visit to London. He claimed his father only agreed to meet him if Nicola was excluded, which he described as a “slap in the face.” Sources at the time suggested Brooklyn chose not to attend due to tensions with his brother Romeo’s guest.
Brand Beckham Comes First
Perhaps most damaging, Brooklyn accused his parents of prioritizing “Brand Beckham” over genuine family relationships. He said their love was tied to social media appearances and endorsements, adding that he grew up with “overwhelming anxiety” under their control.
Fallout and Reaction
The Beckhams have yet to respond publicly. Analysts suggest Brooklyn’s detailed post opens him up to fact-checking, but also allows him to reclaim his narrative. For fans, the revelations offer a rare glimpse behind the polished image of Britain’s most famous family.
