On Monday, Brooklyn Beckham, 26, posted a series of one-sided accusations on Instagram aimed at his parents, former footballer David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham. His posts have circulated widely online, and the family has not responded directly. In the posts, Brooklyn said his parents had "been trying endlessly" to ruin his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and accused them of pressuring him to sign away rights to his name and of complicating wedding preparations, including an allegation that his mother canceled making Ms.

Peltz’s dress at the last minute. He said his mother "hijacked" the couple’s first dance — writing that Marc Anthony called him to the stage and that his mum then danced with him — and added, 'She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.' He also wrote that family images shown in two recent Netflix documentaries were "inauthentic" and a "facade," and said he does not want to "reconcile." Some details remain disputed or unverified.

No video of the alleged dance has surfaced; a Vogue feature said the couple’s first dance was performed to Elvis Presley’s "Can’t Help Falling In Love," sung by Lloyiso, and Vogue reported that Ms. Peltz worked with Valentino for a year on a custom dress.
