He claimed that his mother \u201chijacked\u201d his first dance with Nicola and danced \u201cinappropriately on me\u201d in front of their guests, adding that he had never felt more \u201cuncomfortable or humiliated\u201d in his life.<\/p>\n

He also alleged that his wife had been \u201cdisrespected\u201d by his family and was not invited to his father\u2019s 50th birthday party.<\/p>\n

Discussing the feud on ITV\u2019s Good Morning Britain, presenter Reid said: \u201cIt\u2019s utterly tragic, and the accusations are so damning, it is hard to see them coming back from them and repairing them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broadcaster Kate Garraway added: \u201cIt isn\u2019t the brand, is it? It\u2019s the family life that breaks my heart. It\u2019s horrible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe little moments where they\u2019re learning to walk and you\u2019re giving them a cuddle and putting them to bed. It feels so sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other celebrities weighed in on the drama, with singer Lily Allen sharing a mock-up of the cover of her tell-all album West End Girl, but with Brooklyn\u2019s face in place of her own.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here star GK Barry posted on Instagram: \u201cI know it\u2019s pure panic in the Beckham household tonight. He really did a mic drop.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his string of posts, Brooklyn said he does not want to \u201creconcile\u201d with his family.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cI have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not want to reconcile with my family. I\u2019m not being controlled, I\u2019m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they\u2019ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.\u201d<\/p>\n

His parents, known as Posh and Becks, have two other sons, Cruz and Romeo, and daughter Harper.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn added: \u201cMy parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn\u2019t stopped.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mum cancelled making Nicola\u2019s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife and our future children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy holdout affected the payday and they have never treated me the same since.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me \u2018evil\u2019 because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra and Nicola\u2019s Nanny at our table, because they both didn\u2019t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement continued: \u201cSince the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I\u2019ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cMy family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family \u2018love\u2019 is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it\u2019s at the expense of our professional obligations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose and have found peace and relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other members of the Beckham family have not responded but have shared promotional posts for Cruz\u2019s first music gig at the Courtyard Theatre in east London.<\/p>\n

David and Victoria Beckham have been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n
