Brooklyn Beckham issued a scathing statement coming forward with multiple allegations against her famous parents, David Beckham And Victoria Beckham – including the claim that the couple tried to “bribe” their son into signing over the rights to his name before he said “I do” to his wife Nicolas Peltz Beckham.
“Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing over the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children,” Brooklyn, 26, said in her social media statement shared via Instagram Stories on Monday, January 19.
“They were adamant that I sing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated,” he added in the upload. “My refusal affected payday, and they have never treated me the same way since. During wedding planning, my mother went so far as to call me ‘mean’ because Nicola and I chose to include my nanny Sandra and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, as they both don’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables also adjacent to ours.”

The ongoing feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, has been making headlines for years. Brooklyn married his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, in April 2022. Rumors quickly began circulating that Nicola and Brooklyn’s mother had argued over a wedding dress — an allegation Brooklyn tried to counter. “They always go […]
Although David and Victoria’s son did not elaborate, Brooklyn was likely referring to what is commonly known as “NIL” rightsor the “right of publicity”. These rights protect an individual’s ability to control and profit from the commercial use of their name, likeness, likeness, and other personal characteristics.
These rights are often a necessity for people in the public eye, including athletes, celebrities, and social media influencers. However, everyone has the right to assert their ability to publicly claim their identity if it is used without their consent.
According to the Montana law firm of Worden Thane PC, NIL rights can include a person’s name, nicknames, former names, image, likeness, voice and even signature. Even gestures or phrases that are original to a person, the law firm adds, can fall under an individual’s NIL rights.

“I’m not controlled,” he continued. “I’m defending myself for the first time in my life.”
The chef added, “My entire life, my parents have controlled the press’ narratives about our family. Performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been a part of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen first-hand the lengths they will go to tell countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”

Estranged Beckham also slammed his parents for allegedly trying to “ruin my relationship before I got married,” adding that their alleged attempts have not “stopped.”
Brooklyn went on to claim that her mother refused to design her then-fiancée’s wedding dress at the “11th hour”, forcing Nicola to find an alternative dress before the couple’s nuptials. He also accused his mother for dancing “inappropriately” on him during what he says is supposed to be his “romantic” wedding dance with Nicola.
