“It’s too late” for Victoria and David Beckham to make amends with son Brooklyn, a source said, after his astonishing Instagram tirade against his family — who, the source said, were “relentless” in creating problems for their son and daughter-in-law.
Brooklyn, 26, released a bombshell statement Monday in which he accused his parents of trying to sabotage his marriage to Nicola Peltz, staging “endless attacks” on “privately and publicly,” and putting “Brand Beckham” ahead of all other family values.
“As much as this sounds crazy and unhinged, everything Brooklyn said in his statement is true,” one source familiar with the situation told Page Six.
Asked if there was any chance of Brooklyn reuniting with his parents, the source added, “It’s too late … for now. He’s had enough.”
We have reached out to the Beckhams for comment.
Hot-sauce entrepreneur Brooklyn unleashed a massive attack on his recently knighted father and designer mom, in which he accused Victoria of dancing “inappropriately on me” him after hijacking his first dance with Peltz at their 2022 wedding — and reneging on making the bride’s gown.
Other insiders said Brooklyn was compelled to make the statement following media reports over the weekend that he wished to reconcile with his family.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” Brooklyn wrote. “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.”
As Page Six reported last week, many in the Beckham orbit had hoped there would be a thaw in relations, but, the source said, “It’s on David and Victoria to acknowledge some of their behavior.
“They may not want to hear it, but every word of Brooklyn’s statement was true.
“They tried to separate Nicola and Brooklyn, and they tried to push stories out. They were relentless—– and the more you keep poking at it, the worse you’re making the situation and they weren’t getting it.”
Another insider said that “two things can be true,” pointing out the situation has become intolerable because Peltz can be “crazy” and wants her own way, while Victoria can be “dreadful” — and Brooklyn was stuck in the middle.
“For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family [with] performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationship,” Brooklyn’s statement read in part. “Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”
Speaking about the statement, the source said, “David and Victoria kept trying to push Brooklyn and Nicola apart, they kept doing it. If they love Brooklyn, they have a funny way of showing it. They’ve had every opportunity to apologize and they didn’t.”
Noting that “the truth always comes out,” Brooklyn claimed in his statement that David, 50, and Victoria, 51, “have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship” with Peltz, 31, since before the couple walked down the aisle.
Brooklyn alleged that his parents “repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe” him into “signing away the rights to” his name ahead of the Florida nuptials, which Page Six previously reported.
“Before Brooklyn and Nicola were married, Victoria called Brooklyn and said, ‘Daddy has a very big deal, you need to sign this contract,’” which Brooklyn refused to do, a Peltz source told us last year.
An industry insider, however, said the deal with Authentic Brands Group was tied to David selling a majority stake in his brand management company, DB Ventures, for $269 million in 2022, and meant nothing negative for Brooklyn.
“The agreement that Brooklyn was asked to sign was to protect his rights because his parents have commercial partners who have some rights over the Beckham name, and so it ensures that the kids are carved out of that, of course,” said a Beckham insider at the time. “It’s entirely standard and is to protect the family. Brooklyn chose not to sign the agreement, but it makes no difference, as of course no one would ever restrict his rights.
“Sadly, by then, Brooklyn had gotten rid of all his own advisers and was only listening to the Peltz lawyers who either didn’t understand the agreement or were being deliberately obstructive.”
