Has anyone seen his recent statement on Instagram? I actually feel very sorry for him.

I feel sad for Brooklyn, it takes a lot to actually understand that your upbringing may not have been healthy.

That said, I’d pay good money to watch Victoria grinding up against Brooklyn during their Mother and Son dance.

LizzieSiddal · 19/01/2026 22:22

The examples Brooklyn has given about the way his parents have treated him and his wife are shocking and emotionally abusive.

Im glad he’s been able to have his say today and hope he serves as a warning for all those “influences” and celebs who use their kids every single day to make money.

If Brooklyn had just married Lilly from down the road I suspect t he wouldn’t be posting this.
Seems the Peltz money has made him ‘brave’.
He wants privacy? Peace? Then he needs to stop cashing in on the name his parents made famous and posting shite ‘cooking videos’ and pictures of himself with his wife then doesn’t he!
He’s a hypocrite, a dim nepo baby and I think he’s fallen out of the frying pan into the fire as his father in law seems to be typically billionaire controlling old man and Nicola -well, have a look at what Yolanda (mum of Gigi and Bella Hadid) has to say about her.
He has undoubtedly been controlled all his life and doesn’t seem to see how that hasn’t changed -just a different person pulling his strings.

Yes this 100%, the Peltz money has made him brave as he doesn’t need the Beckham money anymore!!

I was imagining more of a ‘Phoebe from
Friends’ type embarrassing dance.

They prioritised the Grandmothers by looks of it and treated both sets of parents equally…

it’s fairly standard for the bride and groom to have their own table at US weddings, separate from the bridal party. Parents, bridesmaids, groomsmen etc have tables . either side.
Personally I think it was a lovely gesture to have the two widowed grandmothers sharing their table. .

Summatoruvva · 19/01/2026 22:23

I’d hazard a guess 90% of Vic’s calorie intake in the last 20 years has been Pinot Grigio. Praying for footage of the first dance.

You absolutely don’t know what you choose until someone actually offers you that money, fame and status.

Status alone intoxicating especially if you felt a bullied underdog in youth. After a time though if unhappy you’d split, evolve & prosper?

“My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”

Stop making long rambling statements on social media then and move to Alaska or something.

timetogoandstop · 19/01/2026 22:24

Well, he’s chucked a ton of petrol about and lit 5000 matches. It’s all going to burn, burn, burn for the Beckham brand now as he’s torched it

Certainly has - it’s billionaire peltz daddy who paid for lawyers to write brooklyns post. Getting the beckhams back for hurting their little girl on her wedding day.. allegedly

GrethaGreen · 19/01/2026 22:25

I would not be surprised if written by the
Peltz family.

VIPNanny · 19/01/2026 22:25

I haven’t followed the whole Beckham saga but as someone who do work closely with these kind of families and especially the children in those environments, it does not surprise me to see more and more young adults going no contact, and as someone who spends most of her time seeing what happens behind close door, (and trying to mitigate it) all I can say is that more often than not it’s absolutely heartbreaking and no amount of money can make up for what some of these kids go through.

There are so many threads on Mumsnet of parents stressed out about not being able to afford the best for their kids but the reality is that often the best you can offer your kids is a stable loving and warm environment and I can say for certain that the richest kids often lack those important things and live in a world where warmth and care is often substituted by money and gifts.

Those kids are also not helped by the fact that people (the general public) think they know their parents and so going no contact or establishing boundaries (always hard anyway but more easily doable for the average joe) suddenly feels like fighting against
« the myth » and, as shown by this thread, not necessarily something that can done without thousands/millions having an opinion.

I feel for him, it’s hard growing up with famous parents and harder when forced to make your private matters public and having to expose yourself to the judgment of millions for doing something that would be incredibly hard for anyone (cutting off contact with family)

Bruisername · 19/01/2026 22:25

But it’s the freedom the pelts money gives him that has given him the freedom to see what his childhood was

i imagine if he had married an sprinting model they would have remained dependent on his parents financially and his wife would have allowed the control (through gritted teeth perhaps). But his billionaire wife doesn’t need to take her mil’s shit

PinkTonic · 19/01/2026 22:26

YourBrickTiger · 19/01/2026 19:35

Hmmm. Wonder would he be as brave if his wife wasn’t a millionaire?

And would she have given him the time of day if he wasn’t Brooklyn Beckham

BrillantBriony · 19/01/2026 22:26

BonneMamanAbricot · 19/01/2026 19:56

I remember thinking it was a massive red flag that the Peltzes kept referring to them as 'Mrs Peltz and Brooklyn' and obviously avoided using Beckham, but now it seems like it was due to something like this.

‘Permission’ might be the wrong word here the Beckham’s would probably have wanted money by way of licensing fees for use of the Beckham name, maybe they also wanted to own the copyright/trademark for Nicole Beckham under the Beckham umbrella of corporations. If BB and Nicole have kids they will probably have to trademark/copyright the kids name before they announce the name of the baby to the Beckhams senior as they will probably want to monetise it. What a strange world to live in.

junebugalice · 19/01/2026 22:20

I’m sure she didn’t struggle to get a dress, I’d imagine there were many designers only too happy to oblige. VB going back on her offer to make the dress is insane (and pathetic) though but her jealousy of Nicola won over acting like a decent MIL/ human.

Yea but what’s the actual story, I doubt Victoria said out of the blue sorry I’m not making the dress for you for no reason.

Maidenjourney · 19/01/2026 22:28

It’ll be interesting to see if VB hits back

Of course not - but it’s better for the boy, his wife, her family and the internet, to pretend she did

Bruisername · 19/01/2026 22:28

tbf I’m not sure VB’s atelier was really up to a wedding dress

XelaM · 19/01/2026 22:29

Yolanda….now there is a controlling mother.

I bet Zayn Mailk has some stories about her...

I think there’s two sides to this whole situation.

Money no object and model figure, hello Chanel, Givenchy, surely (!?) I’d be politely batting VB away & getting her to dress my Granny or something.

Edited

I hope not! Written by a five year old I thought.😂

Petulant, ungrateful young man who has been bought by his wife and her family.

Hope we don’t hear anymore from Brooklyn, another who wants peace and privacy, yet trots out public post, after public post.
