A new documentary set to air on Channel 4 will delve into the ongoing fallout within the Beckham family, highlighting the recent tensions between Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his parents, former football star Sir David Beckham and ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham. Titled Beckham: Family At War – Untold, the film is scheduled to premiere on January 28, 2024, at 22:00 GMT.
The documentary follows Brooklyn’s explosive six-page Instagram statement shared on January 19, where he accused his parents of prioritizing “Brand Beckham” over their personal relationships. In a surprising revelation, he stated that he does not wish to “reconcile” with his family, confirming long-standing speculation about internal family strife.
Details from Brooklyn’s statement included claims that his parents manipulate media narratives about their family. He alleged that they tried to “ruin” his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, and pointed out that she was not invited to his father’s 50th birthday celebration. The documentary will explore how this conflict captured public attention and will feature insights from public relations and entertainment experts.
In a response to his son’s remarks, Sir David Beckham spoke on CNBC’s Squawk Box, emphasizing the importance of allowing children to make mistakes, particularly on social media. He said, “Parents must let their children make mistakes… That’s how they learn.”
Brooklyn also accused Lady Beckham of “hijacking” his first dance with Nicola at their wedding, claiming she danced “inappropriately” and made him feel “uncomfortable and humiliated.” This incident reportedly left Nicola in tears, as DJ Fat Tony, who performed at the wedding, recounted on ITV’s This Morning. He described a moment when US singer Marc Anthony called for “the most beautiful woman in the room” to join him on stage, which many guests assumed would be for Nicola. Instead, Lady Beckham was invited to dance with Brooklyn, prompting Nicola to leave the room upset.
The Beckham family, which includes Brooklyn’s brothers Cruz and Romeo, as well as their sister Harper, has faced considerable public scrutiny over the years. The upcoming documentary aims to provide a deeper understanding of this high-profile family dynamic and the impact of public perception.
As the drama unfolds, viewers are left to wonder how this family feud will evolve and what it means for the future of the Beckham brand. Beckham: Family At War – Untold promises to offer an insightful look into the complexities of fame and family, airing exclusively on Channel 4.
