26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham called out his famous parents for their “inauthenticity”, accused them of making bribes and scolded the family for their treatment of his wife on their wedding day.
The aspiring chef made it clear he has no desire to reconcile with his family as he said he is standing up for himself for the first time in his life.
Brooklyn posted a lengthy statement to Instagram across six story posts as he berated those around him for how they have acted in the past few years.
Friends of the Beckhams have told The Sun however that the pair have been left “floored” by their son’s accusations – but they are yet to publicly respond.
1. Controlling Narratives
One of Brooklyn’s major issues with the Beckhams is how they believe his wife Nicola Peltz is “controlling his life”.
He categorically denied the claims and instead blasted David and Victoria for being the ones trying to control him and the family as a whole.
Brooklyn said: “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 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.”
Brooklyn has been estranged from his family since the start of last year — even missing his dad’s 50th birthday celebrations in May.
However, insiders close to the Peltz family have accused Nicola of quietly fanning the flames of the increasingly bitter rift.
A source said: “People are confused over the developments of the last month.
“It seemed like things had died down but Brooklyn’s decision to unfollow his parents — and block them — seems to be reigniting the row. What are he and Nicola trying to prove?”
2. Nicola ‘Not Blood’ and ‘Not Family’
The scathing statement released by Brooklyn blames most of the issues on his parents and how they have treated wife Nicola.
Brooklyn claims some members of his family said on the day before their wedding that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family”.
The entire wedding proved to be the breaking point for Brooklyn, as he said it was where his family’s true nature was revealed to him.
But, sources close to the Beckham clan claimed they were desperate to extend an olive branch over Christmas.
Spilling all, one insider told The Sun: “Usually they wouldn’t post all of the Christmas stockings laid out, but for them, it’s their way of showing how missed Brooklyn is, how he does have a family that loves him, so whatever the narrative is going on with him and Nicola’s family, that is not the Beckhams’ story.
“They miss him dearly and would love to be part of his life, and are no longer afraid to say it or show it.”
Our insider continued: “The message they’re sending is that the door is always open and he’s always welcome. They’d love nothing more than to see Brooklyn over Christmas, put the past behind them and start 2026 afresh.
“And Nicola? Well they’ve stopped trying to win her back over.
“It might never happen, she might never warm up to them again. So for now, they’re concentrating on Brooklyn.”
3. Victoria’s wedding dress snub
Victoria is said to have cancelled making Nicola’s wedding dress at the eleventh hour – throwing the whole event into disarray.
Nicola had asked Victoria to design a full-length gown with the former Spice Girl said to have been secretly drawing up designs for weeks.
Brooklyn said: “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.”
Nicola instead wore a custom Valentino gown as she walked down the aisle.
When quizzed at the time over why she suddenly changed plans with the dress, the American actress said Victoria’s atelier wasn’t going to be able to finish it off in time for the big day.
Nicola later revealed that she was ghosted by her mother-in-law over the dress.
4. ‘Evil’ Table Arrangements
His mum even called him “evil” over table arrangements at the wedding due to where people sat, Brooklyn claims.
He wrote: “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.”
But just last month insiders told The Sun Victoria is still looking out for Sandra.
Referring to how close Brooklyn was to his grandparents, a source told The Sun: “Brooklyn spent so much time with her parents Jackie and Tony for the first few years of his life.
“They had such a special bond, while Sandra (David’s mum) looked after him so much growing up.
“Harper really misses her big brother and Nicola.
“Victoria is hoping that Brooklyn at least calls his grandparents over Christmas.
“She’s given up on him calling her.”
5. Victoria Hijacked First Dance
He again spoke about how Victoria hijacked their first dance by performing “inappropriate moves” which left him embarrassed.
Part of the statement detailed: “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.
“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
6. Bribery Accusations
Another shock revelation saw the eldest Beckham sibling claim the family dynamic completely broke down after his parents tried to bribe him into signing away the rights to the famous surname due to the marriage.
Brooklyn said: “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.”
7. Endless Family Attacks
For well over a year now, Brooklyn has refused to acknowledge the family feud despite dozens of articles and social media posts directly attacking him for being the cause of the issues.
Breaking his silence on the situation, Brooklyn claims all the noise online has been directly facilitated by his parents.
He said: “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.”
But brother Cruz put things straight at the time and shared a post which read: “Not true.
“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.
“Let’s get the facts right.
“They woke up blocked . . . as did I.”
8. Victoria Used ‘Women From Brooklyn’s Past’ Against Him
Brooklyn, who has been in the spotlight his whole life, has accused his pop star mum of “consistently disrespecting” Nicola since they first started dating in 2019.
He claimed Victoria would repeatedly invite women from his past back into their lives all intended to cause major issues.
The statement said: “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.”
In the past, Brooklyn dated the likes of Hana Cross and Chloe Grace Moretz.
It’s also been heavily reported Brooklyn enjoyed a romance with his brother Romeo’s current girlfriend Kim Turnbull.
It remains unclear who Brooklyn was referring to in the statement.
9. David Refused to Meet Him in London
Brooklyn also levelled accusations at his dad including one where he claimed David refused to meet him if Nicola would be there too.
He said: “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.”
10. ‘Brand Beckham’ Over Family
Brooklyn hit out at how the family have become so obsessed with their loving image rather than their actual relationships with each other.
He explained: “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 op, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.”
But sources close to the Beckhams claimed tensions have left Victoria heartbroken.
And over the festive period David appeared to send an emotional message to Brooklyn.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, David shared a photo of himself, Victoria, and children Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14, celebrating his MLS title in Miami.
However, what was poignant in the post was that he also shared a throwback snap of himself with Brooklyn, 25, and his brothers after winning the same cup as a player with LA Galaxy in 2011 and 2012.
He captioned the snaps with: “License to cry.”
And, the Beckhams were reportedly gobsmacked when they only learnt of their son’s vow renewal via social media.
None of the family were invited to the lavish ceremony and a source told us at the time: “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.”
11. Victoria’s Refusal to Help Nicola
Last year, sweeping wildfires tore through Los Angeles where Nicola lives.
Brooklyn claims that his wife pleaded with Victoria to help look after her dogs for a few days due to them being displaced.
She refused, her son claims.
He said: “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.”
12. Stepping Away From Family
Brooklyn ended the powerful statement by declaring he and Nicola will no longer accept the treatment they have faced by his family.
He vowed: “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.
