DAVID and Victoria Beckham have returned to social media after their eldest son Brooklyn Beckham’s scathing six-page rant about their alleged “controlling” behaviour.
Brooklyn, 26, launched a nuclear attack on his famous parents on Monday – blasting his Spice Girls star mother, 51, in a damning six-page message posted on social media.
The budding chef, who wed actress Nicola Peltz in April 2022, said: “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
In his jaw-dropping upload, he made 12 key accusations towards his loved ones in his full statement including allegations of “bribery” and telling Bates Motel star Nicola “she’s not family”.
Brooklyn also said he does “not want to reconcile” with his family, and accused his parents of “controlling” the narrative.
Understandably, Posh and Becks were left “floored” by the claims yet have bravely made a comeback on Instagram.

Failing to address the scandal, they opted to focus on positive moments with their pals instead.
Posh Spice Victoria uploaded a throwback snap showing her with Baby Spice Emma Bunton to celebrate her 50th birthday.
It showed Victoria giving her bandmate a piggy back and added the caption: “Happy Birthday Emma Bunton.
“Love you so much”.
Meanwhile, David took to his own account to mark former Manchester United teammate Nicky Butt’s special day.
He posted a snap showing the midfielder in his Premier League prime and wrote: “Birthday Boy”.
The latest on Brooklyn’s seismic statement…
The former England ace then followed with another upload to mark the birthday of another Red Devils alum, Phil Neville, and his sister Tracey.
He wrote: “Happy birthday you two,” before sharing an image of himself and Phil on the pitch alongside the words: “Happy Birthday mate”.
STAY SILENT
The Beckham Family Feud
- April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
- Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
- Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
- Alleged Wedding “Hijack”: In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria “ruined” part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
- March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a “baby voice” (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
- April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
- May 2025: David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
- Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
- Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
- June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a “crisis team” similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for “reputation management” due to the growing media scrutiny.
- Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
- July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
- Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.
As yet, Victoria and David have not commented on Brooklyn’s six-page statement.
Yet the former footballer was seen for the first time since the scandal broke as he attended the 56th annual World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
During his public appearance yesterday, David stayed silent and refused to answer questions on Brooklyn.
Though in a chat after the event, the ex Manchester United ace did admit his children had “made mistakes on social media”.
Speaking live on CNBC’s financial program Squawk Box, Becks said: “I have always spoken about social media and the power of social media . . . For the good and for the bad.
“What kids can access these days, it can be dangerous.
The Beckhams will be in a tailspin – here’s why there is no going back
BY ELLIE HENMAN
Brooklyn Beckham has delivered what can only be described as the single most damaging blow ever to David and Victoria Beckham, albeit the whole Beckham family, with that explosive statement. But where do the family go from here?
Victoria and David are very much never complain, never explain. They are very much like the Royals in that sense. They will be in an absolute tailspin this morning because this is so damaging. This is a brand, this is a family unit they have built. They love their children dearly. They’ve always protected their happiness and tried to protect their privacy as much as possible. This has just blown every single thing apart.
Do I think the Beckhams are going to come out and say anything? No, I don’t. I think they’re going to say nothing. But I think one thing we can guarantee is there is definitely no going back now.
I think Brooklyn doesn’t want to go back. I think David and Victoria were always really open to reconciliation and I believe they probably still are. But this is so incredibly hurtful of Brooklyn to do so publicly.
Every single time I see an Instagram post by Brooklyn, his followers comment saying: ‘Call your parents!’ I wonder now if those people might have changed their minds and may be backing Brooklyn a bit more? Or are people are still going to be team Victoria and David?
It’s a tough one, but this is explosive and I actually still cannot believe what has happened.
“But what I have found personally, especially with my kids as well, use it for the right reasons.
“I’ve been able to use my platform for my following, for UNICEF.
“And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children.
“And I have tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.
“They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids.”
He added: “You sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.”
Sources close to Victoria have also told The Sun she is “embarrassed” about various memes circulating online about her “inappropriate” dancing.
As such, Posh Spice has been left distraught by the mockery.
A source said: “Victoria is really embarrassed now she’s being mocked online, it’s just devastating to her.”
