On Monday, Victoria and David Beckham's oldest son took to Instagram and shared a lengthy statement about his relationship with his parents.
"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," Brooklyn began. He said that his parents had gone to the press, which left him with "no choice" but to address the family rift publicly.
"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. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family," Brooklyn wrote.
He continued, "For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family [with] performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships. … Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade."
Brooklyn alleged David and Victoria "repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe" him into "signing away the rights to" his name.
"My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since," Brooklyn said. "During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me 'evil' because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra and Nicola's Naunni at our table because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours."
Brooklyn alleged that the night before his wedding, family members told him that Nicola was "not family." He said his parents sent his brothers to attack him on social media before they blocked him last summer. Late last year, Brooklyn's brother Cruz alleged that Brooklyn blocked their entire family on social media.
Brooklyn said Victoria "hijacked" his first dance at his wedding, which was in front of 500 guests at their Palm Beach, Florida nuptials in 2022. He said Marc Anthony called him to the stage at the time when he was scheduled to dance with his wife. Instead, Victoria was waiting for him at the stage for a dance.
"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life," Brooklyn said.
He explained that he and Nicola renewed their vows privately to "create new memories of our wedding day that brings us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment."
Brooklyn continued making harsh claims about his family and said they "value public promotion and endorsements above all else."
"Brand Beckham comes first," he alleged.
Brooklyn's lengthy statement concluded, "My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family."
Reps for David and Victoria did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
