Brooklyn Beckham has released a detailed statement accusing his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of controlling behaviour, emotional manipulation and repeatedly disrespecting his wife, Nicola Peltz. He alleged that his family prioritised public image and brand value over genuine relationships, claiming that family support was often conditional on social media appearances and public promotion.
In a six-page statement shared on social media, Brooklyn said he decided to speak out after years of remaining silent, alleging that negative stories were repeatedly leaked to the press. “My parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself,” he said.
