The feud between and Victoria Beckham and their daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz reportedly escalated into outright conflict last night. Friends of the couple are incensed following a barrage of astonishing allegations from Nicola's circle regarding the origins of the feud between Brooklyn and his kin.

A close source of Nicola alleged: "We are at this point because Nicola, an outsider coming into the Beckham family, has been able to help Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behavior within his family, that it's not healthy and it's not normal and it's not ok."

These remarks have ignited indignation among those close to the Beckhams. One insider expressed disbelief at the vitriolic nature of the claims, stating: "I don't think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack," and dismissed the accusations as "It doesn't even warrant a response it's so ludicrous and patently untrue that they don't merit a rebuttal," reports .

Another individual with ties to the family revealed their astonishment, saying they were "open-mouthed" at the "pumping out untruths" being disseminated by Nicola's friends. The source lamented: "You wouldn't expect this of your worst enemy, let alone close family members. The whole thing beggars belief."

Concerns are mounting that Brooklyn is isolating himself from his parents, siblings, and long-standing friends.

"It's a desperately sad situation," a friend remarked. "Everyone loves Brooklyn so much and hopes things can be resolved."

Reports suggest tension has been mounting amongst acquaintances of David and Victoria Beckham and within the Los Angeles circles of the billionaire Peltz family. One person summed up the situation as an inevitable disaster: "It was always going to implode at some point."

Beckham insiders find the whole ordeal incredibly disheartening, especially considering the support Nicola Peltz has received from the Beckhams, including promotions for her film 'Lola'. A confidant expressed their bafflement, commenting: "How the Beckhams have been cast as unsupporting is ridiculous when they have been regularly posting about her endeavours to their millions of followers."

The situation has only intensified, with sources claiming that Nicola seems to embrace the Beckham name when convenient. They cited a particularly "bizarre" incident in which Nicola donned a blue and white Dolce and Gabbana biker jacket last February-the very same design Victoria famously wore at Old Trafford in 2001 when Manchester United claimed the Premier League title.

At the time, various media outlets, including Vogue, speculated that Nicola had dipped into her mother-in-law's legendary noughties wardrobe. However, Beckham's friends insist this wasn't the case.

One friend commented on the matter, pointing out the oddity of the gesture: "If not obsessive, it was definitely the most bizarre behaviour, especially given relations weren't the greatest anyway in the wake of the wedding."

Friends of Nicola revealed that her mother purchased the jacket for her in September 2023, "not knowing Victoria had worn it". "Nicola recognised the jacket and thought it was sweet to wear something her mother-in-law had worn," a friend shared.

"Nicola has always tried to be close to the Beckhams, just as she is with her own family."

According to Beckham insiders, the lead-up to the extravagant three-day wedding at the £76 million family mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2022 was when the "alarm bells began to ring."

A source alleged: "Nicola was very stressed out and quite difficult to be around, and at the time, everyone put it down to wedding nerves, and gave her the benefit of the doubt. But looking back, it was the beginning of the relationship fracturing."

Tensions escalated over a dispute about her wedding dress, which many assumed would be designed by her mother-in-law. However, she ended up wearing a Valentino gown.

Friends of Nicola claim that Victoria offered to design the dress but then avoided texts and calls from her stylist, Leslie Fremar, to discuss the next steps. Eventually, Victoria texted Nicola to say she couldn't do it, according to the friend.

However, sources close to the Beckhams disputed this account, adding: "This was such a long time ago....everyone needs to move on."

Many have attributed Nicola Peltz's assertive nature to the influence of her supportive yet formidable billionaire businessman father, Nelson Peltz. An insider revealed, "You don't get that rich by being shy and retiring. There is no doubt Nicola has inherited his spirit."

The Peltz family has been observed by their in-laws engaging in two costly legal battles within a two-year span.

Initially, Mr Peltz sued the wedding planners for Nicola and Brooklyn's April nuptials over alleged 'mistakes'. The planners retaliated with a counterclaim in a Miami court for breach of contract and 'interference' with a business transaction.

The dispute was ultimately settled out of court.

Subsequently, in July, Nicola herself initiated a lawsuit against the groomer responsible for her chihuahua Nala shortly before the pet's demise. An informant commented: "Nicola doesn't take any prisoners and woe betide anyone who crosses her. The Beckhams are now in the crosshairs. It's why no one can see any way this whole saga ends anytime soon."
