David and Victoria Beckham branded ‘emotionally abusive and toxic’ as Nicola Peltz row intensifies
The bitter feud between David and Victoria Beckham and their daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz is said to have intensified after friends of the American actress have made extraordinary claims about “emotional abuse” and “toxic behaviour” within the Beckham family.
The row has intensified dramatically in the past 24 hours, with sources close to the Beckhams responding with fury to what they describe as “deeply unpleasant” accusations.
The escalating tensions have left many concerned about Brooklyn’s relationship with his parents and siblings.
The explosive claims came from a friend of Peltz who stated: “We are at this point because Nicola, an outsider coming into the Beckham family, has been able to help Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behavior within his family.”
Sources close to the Beckhams responded swiftly, telling The Mirror: “I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack.”
Another source added they were left “open-mouthed” at the “untruths” being “pumped out” by Peltz’s friends.
The situation has left many worried about Brooklyn’s relationship with his entire family.
“It’s a desperately sad situation,” one friend told The Mirror. “Everyone loves Brooklyn so much and hopes things can be resolved.”
There are concerns that Brooklyn has become isolated not just from his parents but also from his siblings and old friends.

Sources in both London and LA have suggested tensions have been brewing for some time.
“It was always going to implode at some point,” one acquaintance remarked.
Friends of the Beckhams claim the problems began during preparations for the couple’s lavish 2022 wedding at the Peltz family’s £76million Palm Beach mansion.
“Nicola was very stressed out and quite difficult to be around,” a source said. “At the time everyone put it down to wedding nerves.”
A significant row erupted over Peltz’s wedding dress, which many expected Victoria would design.
She ultimately wore Valentino, with conflicting accounts about why Victoria’s design wasn’t used.
Friends of the Beckhams say the family has gone to great lengths to support Peltz, including promoting her film Lola to their millions of followers.
“How the Beckhams have been cast as unsupporting is ridiculous,” a source told The Mirror.
The situation was made “more galling” by what they described as Peltz’s selective use of the Beckham association.
They pointed to a “bizarre” incident when Peltz wore a blue and white Dolce & Gabbana jacket previously worn by Victoria at Old Trafford in 2001.
