The Beckham family drama has taken another turn as Brooklyn released a statement containing a series of scathing claims over things he said his family had done to spoil his relationship with Nicola Peltz.
Following claims that Brooklyn had sent his family a 'cease and desist' letter and blocked them on social media, he has now released a lengthy statement containing a series of claims about alleged behaviour from his parents.
Among the claims is an insistence that his wife is not 'controlling his life', with him instead claiming he's 'been controlled by my parents for most of my life', while he says he 'does not want to reconcile' with mum Victoria and dad David.
Another of his claims is that Victoria threw a spanner in the works ahead of his wedding to Nicola by offering to make the wedding dress and then cancelling at the 'eleventh hour'.

Brooklyn said: "My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress."
For her wedding, Nicola wore a custom Valentino Couture dress which her stylist Leslie Fremar told Vogue in an article published shortly after the big day was the most beautiful one she'd seen.
However, that article says the dress was 'the culmination of a year’s worth of conversations with Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s team' which also took two trips to Rome and there were two fittings for it in the US as well.
Fremar told Vogue: "It was the ultimate couture experience. The simplicity of it was magnificent. We didn’t have to overly detail the dress to accomplish the magnitude of it, so we ended up eliminating the embroidery."

That timeline might throw some confusion on Brooklyn's 'eleventh hour' claims that his mum had left Nicola with little time to find a new dress.
Either that or sorting out the wedding dress is a very lengthy process and a 'year's worth of conversations' is actually very quick as far as wedding dresses are concerned.
In a 2022 interview with the Sunday Times where she insisted there was 'not a feud' between her and her new family, Peltz had said that Victoria told her mum 'her atelier couldn’t make the dress in time'.
She explained that she had been filming Lola at the time, which would put it between March and April 2021, when she hadn't heard from Victoria in a while and thought 'maybe she didn’t want to upset me', but Beckham called Peltz's mum and she passed the message on.

Peltz said she had been 'really excited to wear her dress' but since it wasn't happening they 'regrouped and came up with something else'.
Given the time between being told the dress wouldn't be made in time for the wedding it's possible that there was space for the 'year's worth of conversations' to take place before the wedding took place on 9 April, 2022.
All sorts of things have gone on since the wedding and despite Peltz's claims from four years ago that it was 'not a feud' it certainly seems to have grown into one.

Reports also claimed much of the feud came from Nicola's decision to wear a Valentino wedding dress instead of a piece designed by Victoria's fashion house, but they appeared to quash these rumours.
