Victoria Beckham is reportedly hurt after her eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, publicly accused his parents of being controlling and prioritising the "Brand Beckham" over family.

Sources say the former singer spent years protecting Brooklyn from damaging stories and has been left feeling "betrayed" by the fallout.

Despite the rift, Victoria Beckham and her husband, David Beckham, allegedly remain hopeful that time will heal the situation and fix the rift with their son.

According to sources who spoke to The Mirror, Victoria feels "betrayed" after years of quietly shielding her eldest son from negative press and damaging rumors.

Brooklyn, 26, recently broke his silence on the family rift with a lengthy statement, making it clear he has no intention of repairing his relationship with his parents.

In the post, he described David and Victoria as "controlling and manipulative" and admitted he has struggled with "overwhelming anxiety."

He also suggested that the Beckham family prioritise protecting their public image above personal relationships, stating that the "Brand Beckham" always comes first.

Insiders claim that Victoria has spent years working behind the scenes to prevent "dark stories" about Brooklyn, including allegations involving unhealthy influences and potential tell-all revelations, from becoming public.

The A-List couple is said to have repeatedly relied on high-profile legal teams to ensure such narratives about their son never gained traction.

Now 51, Victoria is said to be particularly upset as she has typically gone to great lengths to maintain harmony within the family.

However, sources claim she now feels pushed too far by Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30. According to one insider, Victoria believes her efforts have been dismissed.

"She's done everything she can to make them both feel welcome and treated Nicola like another daughter," the source said.

They added, "But she feels it's been thrown back in her face. She would normally do anything to avoid a family fallout, but she thinks they're both being unreasonable."

Despite the fallout, those close to the family insist David and Victoria remain devastated by the situation.

One insider revealed they are fearful of losing their son and would welcome him back without hesitation.

"They love Brooklyn and are horrified about everything," the source explained.

The situation escalated earlier this week when Brooklyn shared a strongly worded, multi-page statement accusing his parents of deliberately interfering in his marriage to Nicola.

Even so, another source close to the couple believes reconciliation is still possible.

"David and Victoria believe time will heal this," the insider told People Magazine. "They know over time that Brooklyn will come back. They can't really do anything until then."

Wedding DJ, Fat Tony, Breaks Silence On 'Awkward' Beckham Wedding Dance

Amid the growing controversy, Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding DJ, Fat Tony, has since spoken publicly about the controversial moment, offering his version of events during an appearance on This Morning.

Describing the situation as "really awkward," the 60-year-old confirmed that Nicola became visibly distressed and left the reception in tears.

Tony, who has known the Beckham family for years, suggested that the situation stemmed from a decision made by performer Marc Anthony. According to the DJ, Anthony unexpectedly invited both Brooklyn and Victoria onto the dance floor and instructed Brooklyn to place his hands on his mother's hips.

"There was no slut-dropping, there was no PVC cat suits, no Spice Girl action!" Tony stressed. "The word 'inappropriate,' why I said it was as well, it was the timing, this is what happened."

He went on to explain that Anthony had been performing when he called Brooklyn onto the stage. At that point, guests were anticipating the newlyweds' first dance. Instead, Anthony reportedly asked for "the most beautiful woman in the room" to join Brooklyn, before calling Victoria forward.

Tony recalled that Brooklyn appeared visibly upset when he realised the moment meant for him, and Nicola had been disrupted. He added that Nicola soon left the room, "crying her eyes out."

Wedding Butler Claims Nicola Peltz Issued Brooklyn An Ultimatum After 'Final Straw' Reception Incident

A staff member who worked at the couple's lavish 2022 wedding has since offered a different perspective. The butler claimed Nicola left the celebration in tears in full view of guests, including her new father-in-law, David.

According to the butler, Nicola was deeply upset after Anthony publicly invited Victoria onto the stage, referring to her as "the most beautiful woman in the room."

The source alleged that the incident became the "final straw" for Nicola, following tensions in the lead-up to the wedding, including reported disagreements over her decision not to wear a bridal gown designed by Victoria.

The butler, who says they witnessed the events firsthand, pushed back against claims that the family rift stemmed from inappropriate behaviour during the dance itself.

"To suggest the meltdown between Brooklyn and his parents was caused by Victoria twerking with him is misleading," they said, per The Sun. "Nicola was upset by the words from Marc Anthony that preceded the dance."

They went on to claim that Victoria has been "unfairly cast as a villain of the piece," adding that "the truth is Nicola behaved like a brat. She completely overreacted to the notion she'd been upstaged at her own wedding."

According to the butler, tensions escalated further after the wedding. The source claimed Nicola issued Brooklyn with a stark ultimatum, insisting he choose between his wife and his parents.

"She wasn't interested in backing down," the butler said, alleging that Brooklyn struggled to challenge her interpretation of events or defend his mother.

The butler further claimed that Nicola's stance ultimately drove the wedge between Brooklyn and his family.

"She told Brooklyn in regard to David and Victoria: 'I don't want to be around them, and you have a decision to make: Me or her," the source alleged. "He was helpless in that scenario to do anything other than choose his wife."
