Nicola Peltz's father breaks silence on Beckhams feud
Nicola Petz's father Nelson has broken his silence on the ongoing feud between The Last Airbender actress and the Beckham family.
In an investor's event on Tuesday, Feb 3, a Wall Street Journal reporter connected Peltz's comment of "negotiating high-stakes situations, particularly playing out in public view" with the public attention his daughter has been receiving.
Wall Street Journal reporter Lauren Thomas broached the subject by connecting Nelson's experience to the public attention recently garnered by Nicola.
The 83-year-old billionaire businessman played along with the question, saying, "Has my family been in the press lately? I haven't noticed that at all."
When asked if he has offered any good advice to his family, Nelson replied, "I do. My advice is to stay the hell out of the press. How much good did that do?"
"My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story. That's not for coverage here today, but I'll tell you my daughter's great, my son-law Brooklyn is great, and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together," he added.
On January 20, Brooklyn detailed his fallout with his family in a series of Instagram stories, narrating how his parents, former football star David and former Spice Girl Victoria, allegedly controlled him for most of his life, and categorically stating reconciliation was not in the pipeline.
"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," he said.
He went on to claim that his family "values public promotion and endorsements above all else."
David Beckham has already commented on his son's statement, saying, "They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That's how they learn."
The eldest Beckham son and Nicola have had a strained relationship with the rest of the Beckham family since before the couple's wedding in April 2022.
Aside from a "hijacking" of the couple's first dance, Brooklyn claimed his parents pressured him to sign over the rights to his name before the wedding, and that his mother backed out of making Peltz's wedding dress at the last minute. The rest of his family was also reportedly unwelcoming toward his bride.
