We’re all still reeling from Brooklyn Beckham’s bombshell post about his years-long family feud, and now a bunch of people close to the family have come out of the woodwork to weigh in.
ICYMI, Brooklyn set the world alight earlier this week with a scorching six-page Instagram statement that exposed the drama that’s gone on with his famous family ever since he married Nicola Peltz back in 2022.
The sheer explosiveness of the statement prompted widespread reactions from both regular onlookers (in the form of countless memes) and people from within the Beckham orbit, including Brooklyn’s brother, Cruz Beckham.
Cruz has made no secret of his beef with Brooklyn, and he joined in on the fanfare this week when he ‘liked’ an Instagram Reel that poked fun at Victoria’s dancing. If you recall, that’s a reference to Brooklyn’s claim that their mother “humiliated” him with an “inappropriate” dance at the wedding.
The video in question was shared by a skit comedian @olly_101, who posed as Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding DJ and joked that Victoria requested the Ginuwine song “Pony”. He then looked on awkwardly at what we can only imagine was a NSFW(edding) dance.
The now-infamous dance moves were also addressed by Stavros Agapiou, who actually attended the wedding as the partner of DJ Fat Tony. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Agapio confirmed Brooklyn’s claims about Victoria’s dancing, writing in a since-deleted comment, “I was there and she did, he’s telling the truth”.
Adding fuel to the fire and also joining Team Brooklyn was Rebecca Loos, a former assistant (and alleged mistress) of David Beckham. Loos added her two cents via a bunch of Instagram comments after Brooklyn’s original post.
“So happy he is standing up for himself and speaking publicly finally! I have felt so bad for his poor wife, knowing too well what they can be like,” Loos wrote, per Page Six.
On Wednesday, Loos also reshared on her Instagram Stories a video about the trend of people “cutting off their parents” — so make of that what you will.
Loos wasn’t the only (alleged) Beckham ex to join the fray, with Brooklyn’s former girlfriend also making her stance clear. Tallia Storm, who dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers, told The Mirror she’d also been caught in the “Beckham web”.
“I think what that boy has gone through over all these years, in that Beckham ‘web’, as I call it, is a lot,” Storm said. She went on to claim that Victoria “didn’t like [her]” during their 18-month relationship before commending Brooklyn for his post.
“My first thought was good for him. People have all heard a million stories over the years, and I just think, God bless Brooklyn for just coming out and sticking up for himself … I am 100 per cent Team Brooklyn,” she said.
But not everyone in the Beckham orbit has sided with Brooklyn.
Nicola’s former hairstylist Justin Anderson entered the chat in support of the other family members earlier this week, describing Peltz as a “bad apple” in a fiery IG comment.
“Brooklyn’s wife was one of the worst ‘celebs’ I’ve ever worked with, It’s her,” Anderson wrote, per Page Six. “Everyone knows how close the Beckham family really is…”
Anderson’s reportedly soured history with Nicola means he isn’t exactly unbiased. One insider told Page Six that Anderson “comes back into the picture [whenever] there is any Nicola drama”, but the stylist nonetheless doubled-down on his sentiment on his IG Stories.
“When someone is not nice it always comes out, you can’t hide that,” Anderson said.
All of it stems from the jaw-dropping revelations made in Brooklyn’s original post, which included allegations that his family leaked information to the press, “attack[ed]” him on social media, and “bribed” him into signing away the rights to his name
There were also repeated mentions of the Beckham brood’s behaviour at Brooklyn’s wedding, and I think we can all agree — no matter what side we’re on — that the wedding tapes need to be released immediately. If only as content for more memes.
