Brooklyn Beckham has insisted his ‘fake’ family were the ones who blocked him a year ago in a bombshell statement, despite brother Cruz claiming otherwise.
The estranged eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 26, broke his silence on the bitter feud on Monday branding his parents ‘controlling’ and trying to ruin his marriage.
Brooklyn also claimed that his father ‘refused’ to meet him if Nicola was present, despite them jetting to the UK to celebrate his 50th birthday in May last year.
Last month Cruz claimed his had blocked his entire family on social media following reports they had unfollowed him, saying: ‘My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I,’.
But now Brooklyn has hit back, claiming he had received ‘endless’ attacks from his parents since the fall out and it was them to launch the social media war.
He penned: ‘Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last summer.’
Brooklyn went on to address why they were not present at his father’s 50th birthday party in May last year.
Victoria pulled out all the stops for David’s big day, starting with a family party at their Cotswolds pile, followed by a 24 hour trip to his favourite vineyard in France, all topped off by a star-studded dinner at a London restaurant.
While the family celebrated with A-list pals including Tom Cruise and David’s former teammates at three Michelin-star Core in Kensington, West London, the absence of the footballer’s eldest son was glaringly obvious.
Brooklyn 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.
‘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. 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. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.’
