A week after the Beckham family feud burst into the open, Brooklyn Beckham's Instagram Stories have continued to reverberate across social media. On 19 January 2026, the 26-year-old publicly addressed the long-rumoured rift with his parents, setting off fresh scrutiny of what he described as years of unresolved family tension.

Now, conservative political commentator Candace Owens has waded into the dispute, taking aim at Nicola Peltz Beckham, the wife of the Beckhams' eldest son. Owens claimed Peltz has a 'very long record of being unbearable,' a remark that has added fuel to an already volatile family drama.

Brooklyn Beckham Addresses Family Drama on IG

In the posts, the 26-year-old made it clear he does not wish to reconcile with his family, saying: '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.'

Brooklyn used the platform to address rumours surrounding his relationship with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. He accused them of prioritising the 'Brand Beckham' over family ties and alleged that they tried to bribe him into signing away the rights to his own name.

He also claimed his parents repeatedly attempted to sabotage his relationship with his wife, Peltz, by planting false media stories.

Reflecting on his upbringing, Brooklyn said he suffered from 'overwhelming anxiety' due to their controlling behaviour and has chosen to distance himself to protect his mental health and support his wife.

Owens claimed that the actress has a history of legal disputes, pointing to Brooklyn's decision to send his family a cease and desist letter as part of a broader pattern.

Last summer, Brooklyn Beckham reportedly instructed his solicitors to demand that his parents cease all direct contact and communicate only through legal representatives.

The notice specifically requested that David and Victoria refrain from tagging him in social media posts or using his image for 'Brand Beckham' promotion, as he claimed these public interactions were detrimental to his mental health.

The situation ultimately reached a breaking point in January 2026 when Brooklyn blocked his family on Instagram, citing a breach of the legal request after his mother 'liked' one of his cooking videos.

Owen said that Brooklyn likely got this behaviour from his wife, Peltz. She said, 'She sues people over and over again when she doesn't get what she wants. She sues them because she experiences anxiety if she's told no, and she sues them when she wants to deal with her emotions.'

Nicola Peltz Sues Dog Groomer

Owens recounted a bizarre lawsuit involving Peltz and her elderly Chihuahua. 'She called for a van to come... We can wash your dog in the van on your own property, so you can sit here and watch us wash your dog.'

Owens explained, 'Nicola says that her dog was all Weird. And came in, and hours later, they rushed the dog to the hospital, and later on, the dog died.'

She noted, 'Yeah, I think if a stranger takes your dog into a van, they might be anxious. And when you get anxious when you're older, there's a chance that you might have a heart attack. It's not great, is what I'm saying.'

Nicola then hired high-profile lawyer Marty Singer to sue the dog-washing company, claiming they were 'serial dog killers,' even though the autopsy revealed a common Chihuahua condition: fluid buildup in the brain.

The death of Peltz's dog, Nala, and the lawsuit have been widely reported. In June 2024, Peltz and Brooklyn launched a civil claim against a dog groomer, asserting that their pet was perfectly healthy prior to an appointment but subsequently developed fatal complications.

The groomer has refuted these allegations, and the court has yet to reach a formal verdict regarding liability in the matter.

Nicola Peltz's Father Sues Wedding Planner

Another lawsuit happened in 2022, Peltz's father, Nelson Peltz, initiated a legal claim against their wedding planners to recover a £125,000 (approximately $165,000) deposit following their dismissal only nine days into the job.

The planners responded with a countersuit for breach of contract, releasing private messages that exposed a disorganised planning process and alleged the Peltz family were 'difficult' clients.

These filings notably claimed that Petlz and her mother attempted to conceal escalating costs and logistical errors from Victoria Beckham to maintain an appearance of control.

The high-profile dispute eventually concluded in September 2023 with a confidential settlement and a charitable donation made in the couple's name.

This was a pattern Owens linked to Nicola's tendency to sue repeatedly when she doesn't get her way or experiences anxiety over being told no.

Nicola Peltz's Past Controversies

On top of it all, Owens also highlighted Peltz's difficult reputation, noting that her hairstylist from when her father cast her in Transformers, Justin Anderson, said she was 'the worst client he's ever worked with... she was so bratty... cause God never tells her no.'

Owens also brought up Selena Gomez and Peltz's falling out. Owens said, 'Selena Gomez and her had a dust-up.'

She added, 'Nicola ended the friendship because Selena very clearly wanted Brooklyn. It's like she doesn't have anything to do.'

Furthermore, Owens also brought up Peltz's ex-boyfriend, Anwar Hadid, the brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella. She said that Anwar had stopped talking to his family when he was in a relationship with Peltz.

Owens framed the Beckham family feud as part of a pattern, as Peltz sues people when she didn't get what she wanted. She also said to Peltz, 'You don't have real problems.'

From her dog's lawsuit to wedding disputes and falling outs with friends, Owens suggested these long-standing behaviours may have influenced Brooklyn's own public break with his family.
