When Brooklyn Beckham took to social media on Monday evening (January 19), he pretty much broke the internet with a series of claims regarding his parents and life inside the Beckham family.
Over the last few weeks, rumors of a rift between Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckham clan have been circulating online, with Cruz Beckham stating online that he and his parents had been blocked on social media by his older brother.
On Monday evening (January 19), Brooklyn took to Instagram to address the issues himself, criticizing his parents and some of the events leading up to his wedding to wife, Nicola Anne Peltz Beckham, whom he married in 2022.
He also spoke about the demands of 'Brand Beckham', claiming that he had been 'controlled for most of his life' by his parents.

The allegations have shaken the internet, and now, one of Brooklyn's former girlfriends has spoken about her experience of dating the aspiring chef, and specifically, her experience with Victoria.

Tallia Storm, an influencer and Scottish singer, briefly dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers.
Describing Brooklyn as her 'first love', Tallia dated the eldest Beckham when she was just 16. She told The Mirror that they had been due to attend the Global Gift Gala hosted by Eva Longoria when Victoria allegedly said he 'couldn't go'.
Tallia explained: “I was meant to sit next to Brooklyn, we were all super excited – and then he messaged me on the night itself, when I was already inside, saying, 'my mum won’t let me come, I’m sorry.'
“And that was that. Obviously, Victoria didn’t like me or whatever.
“Every time I’ve seen him, years on, he’s so cool, so lovely, no big deal. But that’s the example of a PR storm that was just so… unnecessary.”
She also spoke about how she was due to perform at a concert in London when Victoria allegedly sent a security team.
Tallia added: “Victoria sent a security team during the day to check the venue.
“I thought it’s not that deep, but er, OK.
“When we went to the gig that night, Brooklyn came in with my sister as I was sound-checking – and then when we left with his security, there were like 20 paparazzi outside.”
UNILAD has reached out to Victoria's rep for comment.
In one of Brooklyn's posts, he describes how he 'doesn't want to reconcile' with his family.
In part, Brooklyn said: "The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.
"I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.
"My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family."
