After years of speculation suggesting a strained relationship with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham’s son, Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly penned a note lashing out at them. The professional photographer accused his parents of attempting to ruin his relationship with his now-wife, Nicola Peltz.

Brooklyn claimed that Victoria danced with him inappropriately in front of guests, stating that he had never felt more humiliated in his life.
