After months of speculation about a rift between Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham and Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn broke his silence in a shocking, lengthy post detailing what he says is an ongoing attempt by his parents to sabotage their relationship in the name of publicity.\n<\/p>\n
“I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed,” Brooklyn began his Instagram Stories post<\/a>, which continued across multiple slides. “I 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.”\n<\/p>\n Brooklyn went on to describe several moments in which, he claims, his family attempted to sabotage his relationship, including during his 2022 wedding and at his father’s 50th birthday last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stefanie Keenan\/Getty<\/p>\n <\/span> The post comes following months of of strain between the extended Beckham family, including claims of being blocked on social media<\/a> and the Peltz Beckhams being conspicuously absent from Beckham family holidays or events<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n According to Brooklyn, attending these big moments is a major priority for his family, whom he says “values public promotion and endorsements above all else … Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo.”\n<\/p>\n PEOPLE has reached out to David and Victoria Beckham for comment.\n<\/p>\n Last May, a source\u00a0close to the Peltz family\u00a0told\u00a0PEOPLE that tensions came to a head after Victoria, 51, allegedly hijacked a dance at\u00a0Brooklyn’s 2022 Palm Beach, Fla., wedding to Nicola<\/a>, 31 \u2014\u00a0even though the couple had been planning on dancing to the song together.\n<\/p>\n “Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding,” the source explained. “Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, ‘The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up … Victoria Beckham!'”<\/p>\n
