Brooklyn Beckham previously claimed his mother Victoria Beckham “hijacked” his first wedding dance with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.
Brooklyn Peltz Beckham vents his family’s frustrations on Instagram
Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, has broken his silence on rumors of family feud with a scathing post on Instagram.
Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s wedding dance became a flashpoint in their estrangement with the Beckham family. And now the couple’s wedding DJ is sharing his side of the story.
DJ Fat Tony, who performed at Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s 2022 wedding in Brooklyn, appeared on British daytime talk show This Morning on Friday, January 23, and got candid about the family drama and Brooklyn Beckham and his mother Victoria Beckham’s wedding dance.
“It’s a sad situation,” Fat Tony said. “People say, ‘Oh, you think they’ll talk?’ Of course they will someday. They’re family. But the noise needs to die down. People need to step back from it. We live in a world where everyone is judge, jury and executioner.”
Following years of rumors of family discord between Beckham’s eldest son, his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, and his parents, Brooklyn Beckham took to social media earlier this week to raise several abuse allegations against Victoria and David Beckham, saying that their parents were “constantly trying to ruin my relationship even before our wedding.”
Among the various complaints Brooklyn Beckham shared in a series of scathing Instagram Stories on January 19 was an incident allegedly related to his dancing with Victoria Beckham at a wedding.
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s first dance had been “planned for weeks to a romantic love song”, but the dance was unexpectedly “hijacked” when Latin singer Marc Anthony, who was performing at the ceremony, announced that Brooklyn and Victoria Beckham would be dancing together instead.
Brooklyn Beckham criticized his mother’s dancing as “highly inappropriate”, adding: “I have never felt so uncomfortable and humiliated in my life.”
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham for comment.
Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding DJ says Victoria Beckham’s dance made Nicola Peltz Beckham cry
DJ Fat Tony spoke about dancing at Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding to his mother Victoria Beckham during an appearance on This Morning.
According to Fat Tony, Marc Anthony threw Victoria Beckham a curve ball when he invited Brooklyn Beckham on stage and asked her to dance with him.
“Everyone is expecting Nicola to dance first,” Fat Tony explained. “Marc Anthony asks ‘the most beautiful woman in the room’ to come on stage. And he says, ‘Victoria, please come on stage.'”
Regarding the dance itself, Fat Tony said the timing of the dance was “inappropriate” more than Victoria Beckham’s style of dancing. “There were no black PVC catsuits, no Spice Girl action,” he added.
However, the DJ noted that Brooklyn seemed “devastated” by the change in the wedding dance, and Nicola Peltz Beckham left the room “with tears in her eyes.”
“Brooklyn was stuck on stage, and then she did this dance and Marc Anthony said, ‘Put your hands on your hips, mom,'” Fat Tony recalled. “The whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room.”
Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding DJ talks about Victoria Beckham’s dance aftermath
Fat Tony, who also performed at brunch the day after the wedding, said Brooklyn and Victoria Beckham’s dance immediately became a hot topic among attendees.
“Everyone was talking about it and how sad that part (of the wedding) was,” Fat Tony recalled. “But I think we read too much into it in the sense that Victoria was thrown into that situation and too many stories were added to it. The dancing was just one part of a bigger problem.”
DJ acknowledged that the Beckhams are a “very dancing, close-knit family,” but it’s Brooklyn’s take on the incident that ultimately matters.
“This is all about Brooklyn’s feelings,” Fat Tony said. “If he felt it was inappropriate and awkward, then it was inappropriate and awkward.”
