Social media theorists have made the absurd suggestion the Beckham family feud may be a ruse by Donald Trump to divert attention away from world events – after they pointed out his close links to Peltz family.
On Tuesday in an explosive social media post, Brooklyn Beckham broke his silence on his estrangement from his parents, claiming they had tried to bribe him into signing away the rights to his own name.
He also alleged that his mother Victoria had danced ‘inappropriately’ with him after ‘hijacking’ the first dance at his wedding to Nicola Peltz.
The row comes amid escalating global tensions over Greenland with Trump suggesting there would be ‘no going back’ in his plans to take control of the island nation.
Meanwhile, Nicola’s father, Nelson Peltz, is a ‘notable Republican donor’ who has previously been described as the ‘matchmaker’ between Trump and Elon Musk.
Users on social media have since suggested that the Brooklyn family feud may be providing the perfect cover for Trump to move forward with his plans to seize control of Greenland, although there is no evidence to support this claims.
The US president has previously been warned that acquiring the Arctic island from Denmark risks undermining NATO and plunging his ties with Europe into a downward spiral.
One user posted on X: ‘With everything coming out with the Beckhams right now, does anyone else find it interesting that Nelson Peltz who is the billionaire investor and father to Nicola Peltz, the wife of Brooklyn Beckham is a Trump supporter and a close friend to Elon Musk.’
Another person shared a piece of music from the Nutcracker, claiming this was the ‘actual sound of Donald Trump going to get Greenland whilst we absorb ourselves in Beckham gate’.
They added in the caption of the video on TikTok: ‘Could it be? We’ve got our backs turned right now.
‘Anyone else see these big press stories as a deflection from the real stories happening?’
Another said: ‘Watching the normies eat up all the Beckham drama, when I know something is being covered up, and it’s all a distraction.’
A third posted a video of Trump dancing on Tiktok, alongside the caption: ‘Donald Trump after he has successfully managed to divert attention to the Beckhams.’
It comes as other theories on social media suggested the Beckham family feud might have been caused by the fact that Brooklyn, 26, ‘married into a Maga family’.
One user ‘itskatarnett’ posted on Tiktok: ‘The Peltzes are like not just Maga, they are mega Maga,’
She referred to a news story where Nicola’s father Nelson claims he played ‘matchmaker’ between Trump and the owner of X Elon Musk.
‘So on the one hand I get a lot of people have gone no contact with their parents and they’re probably very empathetic for Brooklyn’s side of things.
‘But I will say Brooklyn is trying to say that he separated from his family and that they were trying to get him away from Nicola.
‘I would like people to maybe reflect in their own families if you suddenly had someone who was hanging out with a bunch of Maga people, if maybe you had those kinds of conversations, please stop dating this guy because he’s super Maga and into Trump and this is going against all our values.
‘I think you would probably talk to that family member and try and get them out of that relationship.’
Both Trump and Brooklyn’s father, Sir David Beckham headed to Davos in Switzerland today for a meeting of the annual World Economic Forum.
The US president promised an ‘interesting’ trip, telling reporters he believed it would be ‘very successful’ despite weeks of friction with Nato allies over his Greenland plans.
Sir David, 50, on the other hand was heckled yesterday as he faced the media in the Swiss town.
When asked about the feud, he declined to answer any direct questions but he later spoke, somewhat ironically, on the perils and virtues of children using social media.
In an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, he said that he has tried to ‘educate’ his own children about the dangers of social media apps while also showing them how they can work for ‘good’.
‘I’ve always spoken about social media and the power of social media for the good and for the bad,’ he said on stage.
The former Manchester United star said he’d been able to use his ‘platform’ and his position as a Unicef ambassador to ‘make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children’.
He added: ‘I’ve tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.
‘They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn.’
In his surprise social media posts, Brooklyn claimed: ‘Weeks 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.
‘They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’
But an insider hit back, saying: ‘The agreement that Brooklyn was asked to sign was to protect his rights because his parents have commercial partners who have some rights over the Beckham name, and so it ensures that the kids are carved out of that.’
Sources, however, also believe that Brooklyn was potentially ‘turned against’ signing the paperwork by those connected to Nicola, who some believe may have managed to persuade him it was not a good idea.
