Some guests have corroborated Brooklyn's explosive claims

Wedding guests have described Victoria Beckham embracing her eldest son Brooklyn during his 2022 Florida nuptials, allegedly pressing her face into his neck while dancing with him on stage.

The accounts back up Brooklyn's explosive claims that his mother left him feeling "humiliated" after "hijacking" his first dance.


According to Page Six, the former Spice Girl "wrapped her arms around Brooklyn and nuzzled into his neck" during the reception.

A source told the publication: "She was dancing with him very inappropriately. She took that moment from Nicola, that is the God's truth."

The insider claimed Nicola Peltz-Beckham left the celebration weeping, with her face reportedly becoming swollen from distress.

"Nicola ran out crying. The Beckhams' side of the room was cheering, and the Peltz side was quiet," the source added.

Friends of the bride allegedly urged her to return to the reception, though she remained upset throughout the remainder of the evening.

A friend of Victoria has offered a different perspective on the incident, suggesting the fashion designer was simply "a tad tipsy and having fun" during the celebration.

The insider told The Sun there was "absolutely no malice there; quite the opposite," adding that the situation has "utterly broken her."

Sources close to David and Victoria have indicated the couple are "baffled" by their son's accusations, claiming attendees at the time were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

According to these sources, guests were "having so much fun" and "lapping it up," with nobody expressing concern about the mother-son dance when it occurred.

The same insider suggested Nicola had objected to Brooklyn dancing with his mother at all, claiming she "kicked off about it."

The controversial footage from the wedding reception may never be made public, as Brooklyn and Nicola maintain sole ownership of all recordings from their big day.

The couple implemented a stringent no-phones policy at their lavish ceremony, requiring all 500 guests to hand over their devices upon arrival.

Attendees had their phones sealed inside electronically locked pouches and were instead given retro flip phones for basic photography.

A source explained: "Brooklyn holds all the power when it comes to the video of Victoria dancing 'inappropriately' on him at his wedding to Nicola."

The insider noted that while Brooklyn has reached breaking point, he may still be reluctant to relive the moment on such a public scale.

Thousands of memes mocking Victoria's alleged dancing have since circulated online, with sources claiming she is "devastated" at becoming a laughing stock.

Another wedding guest also came forward to corroborate Brooklyn's account of events at the 2022 ceremony.

Stavros Agapiou, who is married to celebrity DJ Fat Tony and attended the Florida nuptials, responded to a fan video discussing Brooklyn's statement on Monday.

In a comment that has since been deleted from Instagram, Agapiou wrote: "I was there and she did, he's telling the truth."
