Brooklyn Beckham returned to Instagram – but was hit by a barrage of brutal comments slamming him for how he had treated mum Victoria and dad David
Brooklyn Beckham returned to Instagram after his love declaration
Brooklyn Beckham finally returned to social media after “choosing” wife Nicola Peltz over his family – and his comments section is brutal, to say the least.
Victoria and David’s eldest son, 26, sent a damning message to his famous mum, dad and siblings last week as the Beckham family feud threatens to spiral. The estranged former photographer publicly vowed that he will “always choose” his wife Nicola Peltz after claims that she has been the catalyst behind the mass fall out.
Back on Instagram, Brooklyn took the time to promote his $16.99 (£12.61) hot sauce as he swigged on a Guinness. Unfortunately for the wannabe entrepreneur, his 16.3million followers cruelly lashed out at him for “using his dad’s name” to flog the product, accusing him of “not being a chef or even a cook” and told he would be “working in Poundland” if not for his mum and dad.

One wrote: “Using his dads name and number to promote his sauce yet dont even check his dad on a big milestone birthday.” While another remarked mockingly: “lol if it wasn’t for David and Victoria this guy would be working in Poundland.
A third commented: “Looks like bubble bath bottles, to me. Realistically, this product would be nowhere without the Beckham name attached & millions in free advertising. But keep flogging it as you don’t need it to survive.”
“Not a chef. Not even a cook! Just playing at trying to be a man but real men don’t treat their families like he does,” another fumed.
Others pleaded with Brooklyn to get in touch with his family, with one writing: “Brooklyn put the games aside get in touch with your Dad & Mum! You know how much they love you.” While another commented: “Reconcile with your family! You will only regret it if anything happens. I lost my mum unexpectedly. Imagine my sadness and guilt. Please do it.”

And some hit back at the brutal comments, with one raging: “Can people just mind their own business and leave the lad alone . We all love David and Victoria that doesn’t give people the right to cyber bully a young man who happens to be their son.”
Another agreed, writing: “So many comments of abuse. How does anyone know they have fallen out? Genuinely confused.”
It comes after sources close to the Beckhams suggested that Brooklyn is known as ‘the hostage’ in his marriage to Nicola following his public video declaring his love for his wife.

The video showed Brooklyn revving a motorbike alongside wife Nicola in Beverly Hills as he wrote: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.”
The message appeared to be unmistakably pointed at his family feud. The clip is the first public move either Brooklyn or Nicola has made in relation to the very visible divide within the Beckham family.
Earlier this month, the pair were noticeably absent from David’s grand 50th birthday celebrations, snubbing the event entirely – a move that reportedly left the Beckhams not only hurt, but also deeply alarmed.
Those close to the family have now claimed that David and Victoria’s eldest son is being ‘held hostage’ by his wife. “Brooklyn is now being referred to as ‘the hostage.’ He is in a situation where those who love Brooklyn fear that he is being controlled by Nicola and it is heartbreaking,” one insider told Mail Online.
They continued: “Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside. He’s soppy and he’s a romantic, but that video just isn’t him. He hates all of that stuff so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it.”
According to sources, David and Victoria, now 51, have effectively washed their hands of Nicola following what they see as endless tension and detachment since her and Brooklyn’s £3 million wedding in April 2022 at her family’s $76 million Palm Beach estate.

Repeated absences and missed family events have pushed the couple to the conclusion that they are now estranged from their eldest son. Brooklyn and Nicola skipped not just David’s birthday bash, but a series of family moments including a relaxed gathering at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds retreat, a holiday in France, a dinner at upscale London restaurant Core, and even a fishing trip in the Highlands with David and brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 19.
Brooklyn also failed to attend a pre-birthday party in Miami at Cipriani in March. His social circle has shifted too as he was once close to Gordon Ramsay’s son Jack and Rocco Ritchie, son of director Guy Ritchie. However, Brooklyn no longer spends time with them either according to reports.
Brooklyn’s drifting relationship with Romeo is widely known but him avoiding his youngest sibling Harper has reportedly struck a painful chord with the family.
In the early days of their relationship, Nicola shared countless sweet posts with Harper, calling her “my little sister” and featuring her often on TikTok and Instagram.
Just hours after Brooklyn’s Instagram declaration, Cruz appeared to respond in his own way, publicly showing his loyalty to their parents. “I love my family. I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives,” he wrote.
An insider reflected on Brooklyn’s absence: “He and Cruz barely ever argued. And yet they haven’t seen each other in ages. You have to wonder if he isn’t allowed [to see him].”
