Overview
- Brooklyn Peltz Beckham said in a Jan. 19 Instagram statement that he does not want to reconcile with his parents and accused them of controlling family narratives, trying to undermine his marriage, and pressuring him over rights to his name.
- At the World Economic Forum on Jan. 20, David Beckham told CNBC that children make mistakes on social media but declined to address the specific allegations and avoided questions from a Sky News reporter.
- Spokespeople for David and Victoria Beckham did not respond to requests for comment following Brooklyn’s post, according to AFP.
- A wedding guest’s now-deleted comment claimed Victoria Beckham danced with Brooklyn as he alleged, but the claim remains unverified, contemporaneous accounts described a different first-dance sequence, and no video evidence has surfaced.
- Some UK outlets report Victoria Beckham may send legal letters to Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham to halt further claims, but those reports rely on unnamed sources and have not been independently confirmed.
