A 2023 red-carpet clip showing Victoria Beckham appearing to snub son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz has gone viral again after Brooklyn unleashed a blistering social-media attack on his parents.
The video, shot at the October 2023 London premiere of David Beckham’s Netflix documentary Beckham, captures the four standing in a row for photographers. David, 50, and Victoria, 51, occupy the left side; Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 31, stand to the right. After a few seconds Victoria steps diagonally away, her back partially toward the younger couple. Brooklyn responds by pulling Nicola closer as camera flashes continue.
The footage re-emerged one day after Brooklyn posted a six-slide Instagram Story on Monday, Jan. 19, airing years of grievances.
> “I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private,” he wrote. “Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself.”
He ended the post with a blunt declaration: “I do not want to reconcile with my family.”
Wedding Day Flashpoint
Brooklyn’s central accusation centers on his April 2022 wedding to Nicola. He alleges that Victoria sabotaged the couple’s first dance and then shamed him on the dance floor.
> “My mum was waiting to dance with me,” Brooklyn wrote. “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
A source previously told News Of Los Angeles that the interaction left Nicola “in tears” and that Victoria “ruined” the newlyweds’ moment.
Beyond the alleged incident, Brooklyn says his family has never accepted Nicola.
> “They told me Nicola is ‘not blood’ and ‘not family,'” he claimed.
Missed Birthday and Failed Talks
Tensions appeared to spike again during David’s 50th birthday celebrations in 2025. Brooklyn and Nicola were invited but did not attend. A source told News Of Los Angeles at the time that the couple’s absence puzzled organizers.
> “The relationship is definitely not beyond repair,” the insider said. “They love and are always there for [Brooklyn]. They’re just hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”
Earlier in January another source told News Of Los Angeles that David and Victoria “have repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk in order to move forward.”
Public Versus Private Battle
Brooklyn insists he tried to handle the feud quietly.
> “I have made every attempt to keep these matters private,” he repeated, blaming “my parents and their team” for leaking stories.
Neither David nor Victoria has responded publicly to the latest posts.
