Nicola Peltz has given Brooklyn Beckham a shocking ultimatum: “It’s me or her” after her mother Victoria Beckham’s “inappropriate” wedding dance.
According to The Sun, a butler who witnessed the exchange said Peltz, 31, was most upset that singer Marc Anthony had called Victoria “the most beautiful woman in the room” when he called her on stage for Brooklyn’s First Dance, and thought that was the “last straw.”
“Nicola was upset by Marc Anthony’s words before the dance,” the butler said of the 2022 wedding, adding: “Victoria has been unfairly cast as the villain of this production.”
He continued: “The truth is that Nicola acted like a brat. She completely overreacted to the idea that her wedding was overblown.”
Brooklyn was later said to have given Nicola an ultimatum following the scene, in which the former Spice Girl wrote in a scathing social media rant, including “dancing[him]in a very inappropriate way in front of everyone”.
“After the wedding, Nicola decided to go to Brooklyn. You have to choose between me or your mother,” he said.
“She had no interest in recanting. Unfortunately, Brooklyn was unable to defend her mother and explain to Nicola that she had overreacted.”
The butler then claimed that Nicola was the problem and the reason Brooklyn and her parents weren’t talking.
“After the argument at the dance, she told Brooklyn about David and Victoria, ‘I don’t want to be around them. It’s up to you to decide between me and her,'” it further claims, adding that Brooklyn allegedly “couldn’t do anything in that scenario other than choose a wife.”
The model also claimed that since the incident, she has ” given up on attending invitations from David and Victoria” to meet them.
The 26-year-old aspiring chef reportedly “tried to reason with his wife,” but Butler claimed, “It’s her fault the wedge is there. Brooklyn wanted to go to these family events and she said ‘no,'” after which Brooklyn is said to have “backed off.”
“Nicola has never given Victoria the option of discussing everything from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law,” the butler said. “She doesn’t care about the damage that comes from not solving the problem.”
Representatives for Victoria, Brooklyn and Peltz did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The eldest son of David, 50, and Victoria, 51, made headlines on Monday after publishing a six-page screed accusing his parents of a list of alleged violations, including restrictions on “press coverage of our family” and “making Nicola’s (wedding) dress in 11 hours and having to rush to find a new one, even though she was so looking forward to wearing her design.”
He also claimed: “Marc Anthony called me on stage in front of 500 wedding guests. The schedule was to have a romantic dance with my wife, but instead he waited for my mother to dance with me.””
The photographer added: “I have never felt so uncomfortable and humiliated in my life.”
Numerous witnesses have since testified about the moment, which is said to be captured on footage owned by the Brooklyn couple, but they say they have no plans to release it publicly.
The video “contains footage of Victoria dancing inappropriately at a wedding in Brooklyn,” a source told Page Six earlier this week.
DJ Fat Tony, who performed at the lavish Florida wedding, said the “most awkward part” of the wedding actually happened the next day.
“Everything that happened on the actual wedding night was discussed among all the guests the next morning,” he said during an appearance on Friday’s episode of Britain’s “The Morning.”
