00:00Ben the truth like Beckham? The Beckham family feud just took an astonishing turn.
00:05David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son, Brooklyn, just broke his silence on Instagram stories in a lengthy statement.
00:13On Monday, January 19th, the 26-year-old Nepo baby blasted his famous parents
00:18in an effort to change the narrative about himself and his wife, Nicola Peltz.
00:23I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled. I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
00:31For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.
00:36Brooklyn accused his mom and dad of trying endlessly to ruin his relationship
00:40since before the couple walked down the aisle on April 9th, 2022, in Palm Beach, Florida.
00:47The rift seemed to have started over wedding details. He wrote,
00:51My mom cancelled making Nicola's dress in the 11th hour, despite how excited she was to wear her design,
00:58forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
01:01There was also alleged drama over the table seating assignments.
01:04His fashion mogul mom, Victoria, aka Posh Spice, supposedly called the bride and groom evil
01:10for choosing to put their nannies at their table instead of their parents.
01:14He also claims the night before the wedding, unnamed relatives told him Nicola was not blood
01:20and not family.
01:22It gets worse. He claims his mom hijacked the couple's first dance
01:26and danced very inappropriately on him in front of 500 guests.
01:31I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life, he wrote.
01:36However, Page Six previously reported that Posh was mystified by the claims that she ruined the special moment.
01:43And the accusations keep going.
01:45Brooklyn says his parents allegedly repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe him
01:50into signing away the rights to his name ahead of the nuptials,
01:54and that his holdout affected the payday, and they never treated him the same since.
01:59The bombshell statement spans six Instagram stories.
02:03Ultimately, he insisted the idea that his wife controls him and his public image is, quote,
02:07backwards, and that he grew up with overwhelming anxiety,
02:11which has disappeared since stepping away from his allegedly manipulative parents.
02:16Nicola Pelt is a model and actress, and the daughter of U.S. billionaire Nelson Peltz.
02:21The 83-year-old businessman has sat on boards of big corporations.
02:26Brooklyn did not call out his siblings by name, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.
02:32However, this comes after months of intense public interest in how each family member
02:37has interacted on social media, from unfollows, to likes, to family photos.
02:43It's also following a historic year for the U.K. power couple.
02:47David was knighted, which makes him Sir Beckham now, and his wife, Lady Beckham.
