Beckham feud latest: Victoria fans launch charts campaign after Brooklyn’s claims

Pop culture enthusiasts have come out swinging following Brooklyn’s bombshell Instagram statements – and people are sharing conflicting opinions over whose side they fall on.

Olivia Petter says she feels for Brooklyn, but asks if she might be the only one.

On Monday (19 January), the eldest son of David and Victoria issued a statement describing his parents as “controlling,” claiming they have been trying to ruin his relationship.

On his Instagram stories, he announced he has no wish to reconcile with his family and is “standing up” for himself “for the first time” in his life.

Appearing on The Today Show in October, 2022, Victoria said: “As a mother, to see my son so happy means so much. What more can you ask for?”

The Beckham family has not responded to Brooklyn’s comments.

Victoria Beckham’s solo track Not Such An Innocent Girl has shot up the charts following a family blow-up with her son Brooklyn.

The track reached number two when it was released in 2001, but left Posh Spice without a solo claim to the top spot.

Now, a social media campaign has been launched to nab her the title, with punters determined to “fix the national tragedy” that “Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a solo #1”.

The song is currently at number one in the charts in Ireland and two in the UK.

Brooklyn is positioning himself to publish a “tell-all” book about his family feud, a source has told the Daily Mail this morning.

The source claims his Instagram statement was made in a purposeful bid to make sure he is well-placed to tell his own story on his own terms.

“This wasn’t a final cry for help,’ the source close to Brooklyn said. “If people think it’s the end, it’s actually the beginning.”

Brooklyn Beckham has been contacted for comment.

Nicola Peltz is at the centre of the drama between her husband Brooklyn and his parents

An American actor and model, Peltz is the 31-year-old daughter of billionaire investor Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz.

She is known for her roles in Transformers: Age of Extinction and the TV series Bates Motel.

Peltz and Brooklyn married in a lavish ceremony in Palm Beach in April 2022, attended by the Beckham family.

As Brooklyn’s explosive Instagram statement hit our phone screens, his dad David arrived in Davos to pick up an award for his work with children and young people.

Thrust into the spotlight and asked a question about his relationship with his own child, the former England footballer said “you have to let your children make mistakes” while speaking about the power of social media.

“They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids, you sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.”

Earlier that month, Beckham and Peltz had been notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday party.

However, sources told People at the time that Beckham and Peltz were not directly invited to the private gathering by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and that the timing of the dinner was “pure coincidence” as the dinner plans were made before David’s birthday celebrations.

Cruz Beckham subtly acknowledged his family’s ongoing drama by liking an Instagram Reel that mocked his brother Brooklyn’s viral claim that their mom, Victoria Beckham, “hijacked” his first dance with Nicola Peltz at their wedding by dancing “inappropriately” on him.

In the Reel, comedian Olly Hume pretended to be the DJ at Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding ceremony and reacted with horrified facial expressions.

Cruz has appeared to unlike the post as of Wednesday, but it didn’t stop Instagram users from quickly pointing out his activity in the comments of the post.

“The fact Cruz has liked this,” one fan wrote in the comments, with Hume replying that he “couldn’t believe it.”
