Victoria Beckham’s clash with ‘vile’ Nicola Peltz years before Brooklyn feud

Victoria and David Beckham have reportedly been concerned for their eldest son Brooklyn since his wedding day to wife Nicola Peltz back in 2022, years before their latest clash

Nicola Peltz’s recent falling out with the Beckhams is said to have been just the tip of the iceberg. The daughter of American billionaire Nelson Peltz has reportedly clashed with her in-laws multiple times before things came to blows last week.

As the wife of David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn, it seemed she had been welcomed into the famous family with open arms. The Beckhams attended her film premiere last year, with Victoria even on crutches, and Posh and Becks have been vocal on social media about their support to their first daughter-in-law.

Yet, tension appeared to be brewing under the surface amid reports of clashes during wedding planning for Nicola and Brooklyn. Things severely heated up, however, when the young couple made a very public snub for football icon David’s 50th birthday celebrations.

They did not attend a family gathering at the Beckham’s Cotswolds estate, a trip to France on David’s big day or his London bash. Brooklyn and Nicola have maintained they requested to meet his famous parents after they flew into London from Los Angeles.

Their issue seemed to boil down to Romeo Beckham’s new girlfriend Kim Turnbull. Conflicting reports claimed she had a short fling with Brooklyn, which has been debunked by youngest brother Cruz.

Brooklyn and Nicola are said to not like Kim and did not want to be around her. However, eyebrows were raised among fans when David revealed he had also planned a fishing trip for his birthday to Scotland with just his sons.

Brooklyn still did not attend, with David heading off with Romeo and Cruz instead. Kim, who started dating Romeo in November, appears to be getting a lot of the blame yet sources have claimed there was trouble in the family long before she rocked up on the scene.

It has been claimed to stem back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish £3m wedding in Florida back in April 2022. Sources have claimed some found Nicola “absolutely foul” while planning the do and on the big day itself.

“She was rude to Victoria, she shunned other members of the Beckham family and now it appears she wants to blame it all on Kim, which is just nasty,” a source told Daily Mail. “It is like they are trying to rewrite history.”

The source claimed many people were upset on Nicola and Brooklyn’s wedding day, with it being labelled “difficult”. However, they went on to say the feud within the family now is “devastating”.

They continued: “Some people felt that Nicola was vile. The Beckham gang just adore Brooklyn and wanted to be part of it all.

“Now Nicola is singling Kim out and seems to be making it her fault but she only started dating Romeo last November. Relations have been strained since the wedding and there has been much concern for Brooklyn ever since.”

Sources close to Nicola have suggested that her in-laws have not been supportive of her career, and have been unwelcoming. Yet, friends close to the couple have said they have backed Nicola “at every opportunity” and that there was “no anger but just a deep sense of sorrow about how things have turned out.”

The source added to the Mirror: “They have gone above and beyond to help Nicola with her endeavours.”

A friend of the Beckhams also said: “Kim and Brooklyn did not date and she has nothing to do with any of this. In any case, why did Brooklyn not go to the Cotswolds party where Kim wasn’t there…or the Scottish fishing trip with his dad and other brothers. It doesn’t make sense.”

However, a source revealed to the Mirror what Brooklyn and Nicola are really feeling. They told us: “Nicola encourages Brooklyn to see his family and is usually the reason Brooklyn does see his family.

“They are both devastated. They cannot believe that Victoria and David refused to see them privately after they travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship.”

They added: “As parents, it’s shocking that Victoria and David are behaving this way… instead of privately discussing the issue. Victoria and David (appear to) have no interest in finding a solution that works for everyone.”

The Mirror has contacted Nicola and Victoria’s representatives for comment.

Shields to defend heavyweight titles against Daniels

Undisputed world heavyweight champion Claressa Shields will defend her belts against IBF light heavyweight champion Lani Daniels on 26 July in Detroit.

Shields, 30, became the first undisputed women’s heavyweight champion with a unanimous points win over fellow American Danielle Perkins in February.

The two-time Olympic champion added the IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles to her WBC belt with her 16th professional win.

Shields was suspended by the Michigan commission in February after she tested positive for marijuana following her defeat of Perkins.

The suspension was dissolved after evidence showed procedural errors occurred during the collection of Shields’ samples.

New Zealand’s Daniels, 36, is a former IBF heavyweight champion.

She is unbeaten in her past nine bouts, including two draws.

The majority of sales in Richmond during the last year were flats, selling for an average price of £553,629.

Despite being propelled into the limelight, the celebrity veteran enjoys a humble life in one of London’s most idyllic suburbs, as he spends most of his time now, after sharing he’s coming to “the end” of his life.

Sir David has remained living in his family home in Richmond Upon Thames, London, since his beloved wife Jane died almost 20 years ago.

Two found guilty of murdering Indigenous teen, Cassius Turvey, in Australia

An Australian jury has found two men guilty of murdering Cassius Turvey, a 15-year-old Indigenous boy whose killing prompted nationwide antiracism protests.

Turvey – an Aboriginal schoolboy of the Noongar Nation people of Western Australia – was walking home from school with friends in October 2022 when he was beaten with a metal pole in an unprovoked and vicious attack.

After being placed in an induced coma in a hospital in Perth, he died of his injuries 10 days later.

On Thursday, jurors convicted two men – Jack Brearley, 24, and Brodie Palmer, 29 – of his murder, papers from the Supreme Court of Western Australia showed.

A third man, Mitchell Forth, 27, was found guilty of manslaughter but cleared of murder.

All three men got out of a pick-up truck and chased a group of teenagers that included Turvey, Australian public broadcaster ABC reported.

Brearley assaulted Turvey with a pole from a shopping trolley, the court heard.

Prosecutors said Brearley was angry because someone had smashed his car windows – though there was no suggestion Turvey was responsible, ABC said.

Some witnesses said the attackers had used racial slurs before the attack, but racism was not an alleged motive in the court proceedings.

After the verdicts, Cassius’s mother Mechelle Turvey walked from the court and yelled emphatically “Justice”!, ABC reported.

In the days after the teenager’s killing, thousands of protesters held rallies and vigils around Australia.

At the time, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the attack was racially motivated, describing it as a “terrible tragedy”.

The murder was the most recent in a number of attacks on Indigenous children and young people that have shocked Australia.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people face stark inequalities compared with other Australians, with shorter life expectancies, poorer health and education and higher imprisonment rates.

Second Knicks comeback leaves Celtics hanging on

The New York Knicks produced another stunning comeback to win the second game of their NBA Conference play-off semi-final against the Boston Celtics.

Jalen Brunson made two free throws with 12.7 seconds remaining to give New York a 91-90 lead, before Mikal Bridges knocked the ball away to deny Boston a last-gasp chance.

Josh Hart had a game-high 23 points for New York, who trailed by 20 points in the third quarter and by 16 in the fourth in Boston.

The Knicks lead the reigning NBA champions 2-0 in the best-of-seven series after finishing 10 wins behind their opponents in the regular season.

Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 21 points and 17 rebounds for the Knicks, while Bridges scored all of his 14 points in the fourth quarter.

After coming back from 20 points down in an overtime win in game one, New York did not take the lead in game two until the last two minutes.

“We started slowly, got in a big hole, dug our way out and then guys made a lot of tough plays,” said Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau.

“[Our players] were at their best when their best was needed down the stretch.”

Derrick White and Jaylen Brown each scored 20 points for the Celtics, who will travel to New York for game three on Saturday.

“They made the necessary plays to win,” Boston coach Joe Mazzulla said of the Knicks.

“We put ourselves in position to do that and we just didn’t make the plays.”

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder levelled their semi-final with a 149-106 home blowout win against the Denver Nuggets.

After losing on a three-pointer in the closing seconds of game one, Oklahoma City scored 45 points in the first quarter and tied the NBA play-off record for the most points in a half with 87.

MVP favourite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the game with 34 points before watching the fourth from the bench.

“We knew what was at stake tonight,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “We came out desperate.”

“I didn’t really look at tonight as a response as much as I looked at tonight as just us being who we are, and that’s how we’ve been all season,” Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault said.

After his 42-point performance in game one, Denver’s Nikola Jokic tallied just 17 points and eight rebounds in game two before fouling out in the third quarter.

“We got punked,” Denver interim coach David Adelman said.
