Nicola Peltz was branded a ‘monster’ and ‘the worst of the worst’ by her ex celebrity hair colourist Justin Anderson in 2019 after an alleged altercation between the pair over a decade ago.
The hairdresser, who has worked with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Kelly Osbourne, Jennifer Aniston and Katy Perry, was Nicola’s colourist when she was on the 2014 press tour for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction, in which she starred aged 18 as Mark Walhberg’s on-screen daughter Tessa Yeager.
Years later, in 2019, Justin went on a shock rant about Brooklyn Beckham‘s wife Nicola on a podcast with Jackie Schimmel , branding the actress a ‘diva’ and vowed he would ‘never work with her again’.
But there is some mystery surrounding what really happened between the duo, as sources close to Nicola allege Justin ‘burnt her hair off’ during the process of bleaching it for the Transformers press tour.
It appears Justin’s remarks towards Nicola stem from the colouring mishap, which he was allegedly fired for, after he allegedly caused her hair to ‘fall out in the sink’.
Photos of Nicola from the press tour show her hair styled into blonde wavy tresses, but it is unclear what damage repair she may have had.
MailOnline has contacted Nicola and Justin’s representatives for comment.

Justin Anderson, pictured above, has a slew of celebrity clients who go to him to have their hair coloured, including Katy Perry and Jennifer Aniston.
Five years after he was ‘fired’ – and three years before Nicola married Brooklyn Beckham – Justin had plenty of things to say about his interactions with the actress.
Speaking on the podcast about the celebrities he has worked with – including Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Aniston, he said: ‘I’ve lucked out that I have had amazing people to work with but the ones that were ever bad were the ones that ended up not going anywhere, so I can talk about them.
‘I remember this one time the worst of the worst of the worst, there was this one little diva girl, f*** yeh, I’m just going to get in trouble.
‘But she was the new Transformer girl, her name was Nicola Peltz, turns out she’s from a really wealthy family and it was like she was supposed to be the new IT girl but she has disappeared now.
‘She is actually a monster.’
Justin has been open about previously causing a celebrity’s hair to fall out. He recently revealed that he damaged Katy Perry’s locks while taking them from black to bleach blonde – which forced her to get her iconic blonde pixie cut.
Speaking about it on the Let’s Be Honest podcast on Tuesday.
‘Katy was trying to go blonde so she had gone to somebody else and they couldn’t quite get it there’, he explained.

‘When she came to me, they had been bleaching it over and over, and her hair was crisp. So I told her, “Katy, your hair will break off if we do anything to it”.
But after Katy insisted to proceed with the new look, Justin said ‘all the foils in the back just started falling out’.
‘It was so bad’, Justin admitted, before declaring it was his ‘worst experience’ he’s ever dealt with.
Friends of the Beckham clan have accused Nicola of keeping Brooklyn from family events and claimed she created ‘drama’ – following their failure to attend his father David’s 50th birthday earlier this month.
It appears Nicola’s persona has caused issues in the past, with actress Bella Thorne also famously branding the star a ‘very, very mean girl.’
She was also portrayed as a ‘nightmare bride’ in the 2023 documentary Peltz Beckhams vs The Wedding Planners following her dispute with her planners.
Rumours of a feud between the Beckhams and their daughter-in-law were first sparked on the young couple’s wedding day three years ago, when Nicola opted to wear a Versace bridal gown instead of one of Victoria’s designs.
However Nicola went on to squash the rumours and the pair had gone on to put on a very supportive display of one another.

They would praise each other’s work, appear at events together and even post tributes to each other on social media.
However things have since turned sour and Brooklyn and Nicola were no shows at any of David’s birthday celebrations.
The Mail revealed that a rift with Nicola is at the centre of the breakdown in relations – despite the Beckhams’ best efforts to support and champion their eldest son’s wife since their 2022 wedding.
On Monday Brooklyn came close to bumping into his father David during a fly-in visit to London.
The aspiring chef was back in the UK posing for a new modelling campaign with upscale fashion company Moncler following strained relations with the wider Beckham family.
While Brooklyn was taking part in the photoshoot, his father David was just half a mile up the road at the Chelsea Flower Show chatting to King Charles and Queen Camilla.
It was a fly-in visit for Brooklyn who arrived in London early Monday morning and was at the photoshoot from 9am until around 4pm.
He then went to his hotel in Park Lane to have a relaxed evening with Nicola and flew back to America at 7am on Tuesday.

He opted not to stay at the Beckham’s family home in Holland Park which was located close by the shoot.
David and Victoria are understood to be devastated following a fallout with Brooklyn, who lives in the United States with his wife and her wealthy family.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Victoria appeared to offer an olive branch by sharing a group photo of their four children alongside her father, Tony Adams – who celebrated his birthday over the weekend, with the accompanying message: ‘We both love you all so much!’
The undated photo also features Victoria’s mother Jackie, flanked by Brooklyn and his siblings Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
David is allegedly ‘desperate to make amends with his son as he fears history is repeating itself’ following his bitter fall out with his father Ted in 2005.
In the latest evidence of this, David included Brooklyn in a post about Mother’s Day in the U.S. as he dedicated a post to the mother of his children, Victoria.
Over the weekend, David reached out to his son on social media as rumours of their family feud continue to bubble.
A sweet black and white photo showed Victoria cuddled up with her four kids, soon after welcoming their daughter Harper.
Alongside the photo, David wrote: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to the best mommy. To all our friends in the U.S. Happy Mother’s Day.’
