The Beckham family feud with daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz has escalated into a full-blown conflict, with friends of David and Victoria Beckham expressing their shock at the allegations made by Nicola's circle. Nicola's confidant 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."

An insider previously said of the billionaire heiress: "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." However, these claims have incensed those close to the Beckhams, with one insider refuting the accusations: "I don't think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack," adding, "It doesn't even warrant a response it's so ludicrous and patently untrue."

Another source close to the Beckhams said they were "open-mouthed" at the "pumping out untruths" being spread by Nicola's friends, remarking: "You wouldn't expect this of your worst enemy, let alone close family members. The whole thing beggars belief," reports the Mirror.

Concerns are growing that Brooklyn may be isolating himself from not just his parents but also his siblings and long-time friends.

A friend lamented the situation, stating: "It's a desperately sad situation," and voiced the collective hope for reconciliation: "Everyone loves Brooklyn so much and hopes things can be resolved."

Insiders close to David and Victoria Beckham, as well as those in the LA circles where the billionaire Peltz family resides, have hinted at signs of trouble brewing for some time. One source bluntly stated: "It was always going to implode at some point."

The Beckhams' friends find the entire situation even more distressing considering the extent to which the family has supported Nicola, including promoting her film Lola. A source revealed: "How the Beckhams have been cast as unsupportive is ridiculous when they have been regularly posting about her endeavours to their millions of followers.

"But what makes the current situation even more galling is how Nicola appears to relish the association with the family name when it suits her."

Meanwhile, insiders close to the Beckhams have dished on the tension surrounding the couple's opulent 2022 wedding at their £76 million Palm Beach estate, suggesting that was when "alarm bells began to ring."

One 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."
