Khaberni - After the explosive statement released by Brooklyn Beckham revealing shocking details about his feud with his family, his parents, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, chose to respond in two different ways, yet without a direct confrontation or publicly denying the accusations.
In David Beckham's first indirect comment, the football star chose to discuss the mistakes children make and the impact of social media, avoiding explicit details about the family dispute that has topped global news headlines in recent days.
During his appearance on a television program on CNBC, Beckham stated that social media could be a powerful tool, but it can also be dangerous if misused, emphasizing the importance of educating children and allowing them space to make mistakes and learn from them: "Children make mistakes, and it is their right to do so.. that's how they learn, and sometimes we need to let them go through these experiences."
Despite journalists' attempts to prompt him to comment directly on Brooklyn's statements, Beckham refused to answer any questions related to the dispute, preferring to maintain his stance in a general and non-escalatory framework.
Victoria Beckham’s response to her son Brooklyn
On the other hand, his mother Victoria Beckham maintained silence on social media for several days, abandoning her usual habit of regular posting before breaking this silence this morning via the stories feature on her Instagram account amid a media storm surrounding her name.
Interestingly, Victoria completely ignored the dispute with her son Brooklyn, opting instead to post a birthday greeting to her former Spice Girls bandmate and close friend Emma Bunton, who just turned fifty.
Victoria posted a black and white photo of her with Emma, and wrote: "Happy Birthday Emma Bunton, love you so much", and also shared a video clip of Emma performing the song Say You’ll Be There, commenting: "Happy Birthday darling, kisses".
David and Victoria's statements came just a few days after a lengthy and shocking statement was released by Brooklyn Beckham "26 years old" on his Instagram account, in which he ended years of silence, asserting that he does not desire reconciliation with his family, and claiming he was defending himself for the first time in his life.
Brooklyn stated in his declaration that his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, have long controlled media narratives concerning the family, and accused them of ongoing attempts to sabotage his relationship with his actress wife Nicola Peltz since before their marriage in 2022, adding that lies, as he described, were being published at the expense of "innocent people".
The statement highlighted embarrassing details that occurred during his wedding, including an accusation that his mother Victoria canceled design plans for Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute despite previous agreements, forcing the bride to urgently search for an alternative.
Brooklyn also recounted an incident he described as the most embarrassing moment of his life, when his first dance with his wife was planned, but he was surprised to find his mother waiting on stage to dance with him instead of the bride, in front of hundreds of guests, a scene he said caused Nicola to break down and leave the hall in tears.
Brooklyn also accused his parents of trying to pressure him into signing an agreement that would grant them commercial control over his name prior to his wedding, which he refused, believing it would have affected him and his family in the future.
Subsequent media reports suggest that Brooklyn sent a legal notice to his parents requesting that any future communication be conducted only through lawyers, a move said to protect his mental health.
Despite previous attempts that appeared conciliatory, including David posting an old photo of him with his son with the caption "I love you all," Brooklyn’s latest statement was decisive, confirming that the rift was not just a misunderstanding, but the result of long-standing issues.
