Beckham’s parents accused him of controlling him, trying to sever his relationship with his wife, and giving him crippling anxiety in a shocking statement that was posted on social media.
Victoria Beckham has broken her silence after her eldest son Brooklyn’s explosive statement.
After months of rumoured feuding, Brooklyn Beckham posted a bombshell series of accusations about his parents on Instagram that included claims they were controlling and had tried to pressure him into “signing my name away”. The statement included an explosive claim which alleged mum Victoria, 51, “hijacked” Brooklyn’s first dance with Nicola at their 2022 wedding – and claimed the former Spice Girl danced “inappropriately” with her son, leaving Nicola in tears.
Victoria has remained silent on social media despite her usual practice of posting frequently since Monday’s explosive statement. She has since chosen to break that silence and posted on her Instagram accounts this morning as a media storm surrounds her.

Instead of expressing her regret for her affair with her eldest son, Victoria made a birthday tribute to her former bandmate and friend Emma Bunton, who turned 50 yesterday. As Victoria and Emma were sharing a black and white photo in the first post, she wrote, “Happy birthday @emmaleebunton,” in black and white. I adore you so much!” Then, she uploaded a video of Emma singing in the song “Say You’ll Be There” and wrote, “Happy birthday Baby Kisses xxx,” as well.
It comes after allegations that Victoria has been mocked on social media for her claims that she danced “unfavorably” with her son at his wedding and “steached” their first dance together on their big day. Thousands of people have been making fun of Victoria on the internet by posting memes and videos attacking Brooklyn’s assertions since the explosive claim.
A wedding guest supported Brooklyn’s claim, despite one source’s assertion that there was “no malice” from Victoria after “upstaging” her son and his new wife. Stavros Agapiou, DJ Fat Tony’s partner, made an explosive Instagram comment that read, “I was there, and she did, he’s telling the truth.” However, the comment was later removed and replaced with “Good on him for finally speaking out”!
As another commentator claimed that she “nuzzled into his neck” while “getting up on stage and wrapping her arms around Brooklyn” That is the God’s truth, she learned from Nicola. After months of bubbling up tension between the Beckhams and the Peltzs, Brooklyn’s sensational statement on Monday caused the outcry over the alleged inappropriate dance.
For most of 2025, the Beckhams were embroiled in a feud with their son. Though neither side confirmed they were feuding, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, seemed to distance themselves from the family and did not attend or recognise family events.
Things turned a heads when Brooklyn and Nicola blocked his family on Instagram at the beginning of 2026. Posh and Becks had been tagging their son in various posts and stories, and it was believed that the widespread blocking was due to the public’s constant outreach.
Brooklyn explained his reasons for separating from his parents in a powerful Instagram statement. “I have made every effort to keep these matters private, but I have been silent for years,” Brooks said. Unfortunately, my parents and their team continue to target journalists, leaving me with no choice but to speak up for myself and expose only a small percentage of lies.
I don’t want to have a family, I say. For the first time in my life, I’m standing up for myself instead of being controlled. My parents have controlled our family’s narratives in the media for my entire life. My life was made up of performative social media posts, family events, and unauthentic relationships.
He continued, “his parents have told countless lies to the media, primarily at the expense of innocent people, to “protect their own facade.” He also claimed that they were trying to break up with his wife, and particularly his mother, who he claimed had backed away from making Nicola’s wedding dress at the “11th hour” and that she had inappropriately cheated on me when she “tried to steal their first dance to dance” on her. He claimed that he “never felt more humiliated or uneasy.”
Brooklyn also accused his parents of trying to extort money from him, accused him of being unfair and accused him of “signing away” his name, and called him evil for having his and Nicola’s nannies at their wedding table. Romeo and Cruz, Romeo and Cruz, are accused of attacking Brooklyn on social media before blocking him, as well.
Brooklyn has been accused throughout the conflict of ignoring his family’s significant occasions, particularly father David’s 50th birthday, but he claims that is untrue. He claimed that while we waited in our hotel room trying to plan time for him, we were turned down for a week because of the feud. We still traveled to London for my dad’s birthday. With 100 guests and cameras circling every corner, he refused to cooperate with our attempts, unless it was at his grand birthday party.
“Nicola wasn’t invited when he finally agreed to see me,” he said. A slap in the face was used. Later, when my family traveled to LA, they completely denied seeing me. Prior to everything else, my family values public relations and endorsements. First is Brandy Beckham. Family “love is determined by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you put everything on the table to pose for a family photo opportunity, even if it comes at the expense of our professional obligations.”
