He accused , but fashion icon Leslie Fremar had previously said the frock was a “year in the making”.

In a fiery statement on across six story posts, he berated those around him and made it clear he has .
Claiming to be standing up for himself for the first time, he called out for their “inauthenticity”.
The aspiring chef went as far as accusing them of making bribes and scolded his family for their treatment of his wife, , 31.
Launching a furious tirade at his mum Victoria, 51, he accused her of ruining their wedding in April 2022.
He alleged the former Spice Girl cancelled making Nicola’s wedding dress “at the 11th hour” – throwing the whole event into disarray.
Nicola had asked Victoria to with Posh said to have been secretly drawing up designs for weeks.
Brooklyn said: “My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.”
Instead, she opted to wear a stunning couture Valentino bridal dress as she walked down the aisle.
But his claims of a last-minute change appear to have been dampened by previous comments made by stylist Leslie Fremar.
Speaking to Vogue, the fashionista claimed the custom frock was a year in the making – including two fittings with Nicola in the US.
Prior to this, Leslie told how she had been to Valentino’s headquarters in Rome twice herself to oversee the design.
Hailing the dress, she said: “It was the ultimate couture experience. The simplicity of it was magnificent.
“We didn’t have to overly detail the dress to accomplish the magnitude of it, so we ended up eliminating the embroidery.”
When quizzed at the time over why she suddenly changed plans, Nicola said Victoria’s atelier wasn’t going to be able to .
And in an interview with The Sunday Times, she downplayed the idea of a “family feud”.
Nicola said: “It’s not a feud! I keep seeing everywhere that word, ‘feud, feud, feud’.
“I don’t know why they say feud. I mean, maybe they picked up on something? And now they’re labelling it feud? No family is perfect!”
The American actress later revealed she was over the dress.
The entire wedding proved to be the breaking point for Brooklyn, as he said it was where his family’s true nature was revealed to him.
Brooklyn also claims his mum called him “evil” over table arrangements at the wedding and accused her of “hijacking” his first dance with his wife.
He wrote: “During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands.
“Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.”
And recalling the “embarrassing” first dance, the former photographer blasted his mum for performing “inappropriate moves”.

Part of the statement detailed: “In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me.
“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
Friends of the Beckhams both David, 50, and Victoria have been left “floored” by their son’s accusations.
But the famous couple are yet to publicly respond.
Another one of Brooklyn’s major issues with the Beckhams is how they believe his wife Nicola Peltz is “controlling his life”.
He categorically denied the claims and instead blasted his parents for being the ones trying to control him and the family as a whole.
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 my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.”
The scathing statement released by Brooklyn blames most of the issues on his parents and how they have treated wife Nicola.
Brooklyn claims some members of his family said on the day before their wedding that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family”.
Another shock revelation saw the eldest Beckham sibling claim the family dynamic completely broke down after his parents tried to bribe him.
He alleges they tried to get him to sign away the rights to the famous surname due to the marriage.
Brooklyn said: “Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
Prior to last night, Brooklyn had largely refused to acknowledge the family feud despite dozens of articles and social media posts.
Breaking his silence on the situation, Brooklyn claims all the noise online has been directly facilitated by his parents.
He said: “Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.
“Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.”
But brother Cruz put things straight at the time and shared a post which read: “Not true. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.
“Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked . . . as did I.”
Brooklyn, who has been in the spotlight his whole life, accused his mum of “consistently disrespecting” Nicola since they started dating in 2019.
He claimed Victoria would repeatedly invite women from his past back into their lives – intended to cause major issues.
But it remains unclear who Brooklyn was referring to in the statement.
The statement said: “My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one.

“My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.”
Brooklyn also levelled accusations at his dad, including claiming David refused to meet him if Nicola would be there too.
He said: “We still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him.
“He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.
“When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face.”
Brooklyn went on to accuse his family of becoming more obsessed with their loving image than their actual relationships with each other.
He explained: “My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.
“Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op…
“… even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.”
But sources close to the Beckhams claimed tensions have left Victoria heartbroken.
And, the Beckhams were reportedly gobsmacked when they only learnt of their son’s vow renewal via social media.
None of the family were invited to and a source told us at the time: “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.”
Last year, sweeping wildfires tore through Los Angeles where Nicola lives.
Brooklyn claims that his wife pleaded with Victoria to help look after her dogs for a few days due to them being displaced.
But, according to the eldest Beckham sibling’s scathing statement, she refused.
He wrote: “The one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.”
Brooklyn ended the powerful statement by declaring he and Nicola will no longer accept the treatment they have faced by his family.
He vowed: “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 is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”
The Sun has approached both Brooklyn and The Beckham’s representatives for comment.
Brooklyn's statement in full
“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.
“Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
“For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.
“The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
“Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.
“But I believe the truth always comes out.
“My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.
“My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
“Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
“They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.
“During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands.
“Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

“Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.
“My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.
“In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.
“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.
“We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.
“My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one.
“My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
“Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him.

“Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.
“We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show “our perfect family.”
“But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.
“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.
