Awkward Red Carpet Footage Back in the Spotlight After Brooklyn Beckham Slams David and Victoria Over Nicola Peltz

As the footage circulates, so too does speculation that the cracks in the family's polished image had been showing long before the eldest Beckham son decided to speak out.

A resurfaced red carpet clip is reigniting speculation about Peltz-Beckham family tensions — and Nicola Peltz Beckham is right at the centre of it. The footage shows the actress visibly uncomfortable as she's pulled into a family photo and follows Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's scathing public attack on his parents.

A Resurfaced Red Carpet Moment

Back in 2023, Nicola and Brooklyn joined his family for the UK premiere of Netflix's docuseries, "Beckham." In clips, Nicola appeared stone faced as she was pulled into a family photo by Brooklyn, while Victoria Beckham stood beside them with a tense expression.

The "Bates Motel" actress, 31, wore a red leather long-sleeve mini dress cinched at the waist with a matching belt, paired with black tights and heels.

Her brunette hair was styled poker straight, and although camera-ready, she looked anything but pleased to be there. One moment in particular — where Brooklyn physically guides her into the frame — is fuelling claims of deeper discord.

Brooklyn detailed a pattern of "inauthentic relationships" and performative public displays, stating that the pressure came at the cost of his peace and well-being.

Social media erupted in response to the resurfaced red carpet footage. "That was painful to watch. Victoria doesn't even visually acknowledge the girl.." said one person. Another typed, "Wow!!! So sad for him and his wife... Victoria you are crazy!!!"

A third noted, "Victoria did even look at Nikola...she looked at Brooklyn but she didnt smile or even react...WOW [sic]," while another added, "Trust me...he isn't lying. Body language never lies."

Commenting on Brooklyn's demeanour, one person shared, "That's sad. The son looks hurt 😞," while another reflected on the moment between the women, "The WAY Nicola looked at VB 🫢." "Wow. Why? What could be so bad? She completely ignored him and his wife😢," questioned another.

Brooklyn's Shocking Public Statement

The resurfaced footage has taken on new significance in the wake of Brooklyn's explosive public statement shared on January 20, 2026. The 26-year-old took to social media to accuse his parents of controlling behaviour, manipulation, and repeated efforts to undermine his relationship with Nicola.

In his posts, the aspiring chef alleged that he had remained silent for years while his family used the press to control the narrative. He claimed he no longer wanted to reconcile and was finally speaking up for himself.

Brooklyn detailed a pattern of "inauthentic relationships" and performative public displays, stating that the pressure came at the cost of his peace and well-being.

Among the many claims, he said that in the lead-up to his 2022 wedding, his mother had promised to design Nicola's wedding dress but pulled out at the last minute. He stated:

"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."

According to a source cited by People, Victoria allegedly called Nicola's mother — not Nicola herself — to say she wouldn't be able to design the gown. "Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding," the source said, adding that the Beckhams failed to stand up for her.

In a separate revelation, Brooklyn recalled how the newlyweds' planned first dance was "hijacked." During the wedding reception, he and Nicola believed they were being gifted a musical performance by Marc Anthony — a close family friend — only for the singer to unexpectedly invite Victoria to the stage.

According to reports at the time, Brooklyn was called to the stage, expecting a romantic moment with Nicola. Instead, Marc Anthony said, "Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the room — Victoria Beckham." Guests were reportedly left stunned.

However, while the 26-year-old's revelations have shocked many, they appear at odds with how the couple's wedding was initially presented to the public.

Furthermore, the new bride was said to be so upset that she left the room in tears. "She [Victoria Beckham] danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone," Brooklyn alleged.

"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," he added.

Brooklyn's statement also included allegations ranging from emotional manipulation to claims of being pressured to sign away the rights to his name.

He said this had been ongoing for years, with social media posts and public events crafted to portray a family unity that, behind the scenes, was breaking apart.

A Contradictory Picture

However, while the 26-year-old's revelations have shocked many, they appear at odds with how the couple's wedding was initially presented to the public. In May 2022, Vogue published an exclusive feature on Nicola and Brooklyn's Palm Beach wedding, painting a picture of elegance and unity.

The bride described her Valentino Haute Couture dress as "a story," recounting emotional fittings in Rome over the year that it took to make the dress and the meaningful touches added by her mother, including an evil eye and a hand-sewn message inside the dress that read:

"Nicola, my heart. You are me, I am you. All my love, all my life, my beautiful girl, inside and out. Love, mom."

Nicola told the outlet she was moved to tears when she discovered the hidden embroidery after the ceremony, calling it a deeply personal moment.

The wedding coverage also described a star-studded reception. South African singer Lloyiso performed Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" for the couple's first dance, while Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" played during Nicola's dance with her father.

Then, at 11 p.m., the circular stage revolved 180 degrees and Marc appeared for a live set. According to the outlet, Brooklyn reportedly invited his mother on stage for a dance, and they were soon joined by his father and sister, David and Harper Beckham.

No mention was made of any disruption or distress. Furthermore, Anthony's performance ended with a Latin rendition of the Eagles' "Hotel California," followed by a pop-up nightclub reveal.

The contrast between the polished media narrative of 2022 and Brooklyn's recent claims has left many questioning what really happened behind the scenes of one of the most high-profile weddings in recent celebrity memory.

In the end, what played out in glossy magazine spreads and on social media appears to have been only part of the story.

As Brooklyn Peltz Beckham continues to speak out and old footage resurfaces, the carefully curated image of unity surrounding one of Britain's most recognisable families is beginning to unravel — leaving the public, once again, captivated by the truth behind the façade.
