Brooklyn Beckham is \u201cvery much his own man\u201d as pals hit back at \u201cmisogynistic\u201d claims that wife Nicola Peltz<\/a> is calling the shots. The star\u2019s friends say allegations that his wife is \u201ccontrolling\u201d him are deeply insulting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis narrative is so sexist and misogynistic, and he does not stand for his wife being vilified in this way. It\u2019s a story as old as time: blame the woman for the man\u2019s actions. It\u2019s just deeply insulting,\u201d says a source. Insiders say instead Brooklyn<\/a> is \u201cvery much his own man\u201d as he ploughs a course away from his family.<\/p>\n

It comes after it emerged David<\/a> and Victoria<\/a> were left devastated when they received a legal request to block all direct contact with him. Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola,<\/a> 31, sent the letter last summer, asking them to stop contacting them, or mentioning them on social media<\/p>\n

The letter, sent by Nicola\u2019s law firm Schillings to the Beckhams\u2019 firm Harbottle and Lewis, was merely a request and has not led to action. A source with knowledge of the situation said: \u201cNobody ever wanted to do something like this, but unfortunately, his request had constantly gone ignored by his family. \u201cHe did what he had to do to protect himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s believed David, 50, and Victoria, 51, only tried to contact the couple to try and resolve things. The aggressive legal approach is said to have blindsided them.<\/p>\n

Nicola\u2019s father has previously hired \u00a3800-an-hour lawyer Marty Singer, who represented Prince Andrew and Bill Cosby, to sue wedding planners for Nicola and Brooklyn\u2019s big day in 2022. The case was eventually settled.<\/p>\n

Nicola is also suing a dog grooming business, accusing it of killing her chihuahua. She and Brooklyn have hired top law firm Schillings in the UK. The Beckhams are understood to still be hopeful of resolving the feud and a friend has said they will always be there for their son.<\/p>\n

The feud blew up after Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend David\u2019s 50th birthday celebrations in London. Nicola\u2019s friends claimed she helped Brooklyn \u201csee the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within his family\u201d. The Beckhams\u2019 friends denied this at the time.<\/p>\n

The Mirror<\/a> revealed last week how Brooklyn was still in touch with both sets of grandparents. A source said: “While things between him and his parents are over… Brooklyn is still very fond of his grandparents. There is a lot of love for them, and that has never faltered.”<\/p>\n

A particular low point came when they failed to invite the Beckhams to see them renew their wedding vows, three years on from tying the knot. Speaking about the ceremony last August, Brooklyn said: “We just wanted a really beautiful experience.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun.”<\/p>\n
