Brooklyn Beckham told to ‘grab Victoria’s hips’ during infamous wedding dance that had Nicola Peltz ‘in tears’

DJ Fat Tony recalled the bride ‘crying her eyes out’ over the ‘awkward’ moment

Victoria Beckham’s ‘inappropriate’ dance move revealed by wedding DJ following Brooklyn’s bombshell statement

DJ Fat Tony, who attended Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding to Nicola Peltz, has shed light on former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham’s “inappropriate dancing” at the ceremony.

In an explosive post shared this week, Brooklyn, 26, opened up about his long-rumoured feud with his famous family, alleging that his parents, David and Victoria, “have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship” with actor and heiress Peltz, whom he married in a lavish Palm Beach ceremony in 2022.

The oldest Beckham son claimed that his mother “hijacked my first dance with my wife” at their nuptials, stating that he was “humiliated” when the former Spice Girl “danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone”.

DJ Fat Tony, real name Tony Manorch, has agreed with Brooklyn’s claim that Victoria’s behaviour was “inappropriate”, solely due to “the timing”. He said that Anthony called Victoria to the stage in place of Peltz and called the former Spice Girl “the most beautiful woman in the room”, which “devastated” Brooklyn and sent Peltz out of the room in tears.

Speaking on This Morning on Friday (23 January), he recalled: “What happened was, basically, [singer] Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto stage.

“Brooklyn went on to the stage, and the next minute everyone’s expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then Mark asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage – and then he says, ‘Victoria, come to the stage.’

“So Victoria is by the stage, she goes onto the stage, and of course, at that point, Brooklyn is literally, like, devastated because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife, then Nicola leaves the room crying her eyes out.”

The musician continued: “Brooklyn is stuck there on stage, and they do this dance, and Mark Anthony says, ‘Put your hands on your mother’s hips’. It was a Latin thing, and the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room…”

Beckham is the eldest of four children born to the retired football star and singer-turned-fashion designer. His statement, posted this week, accused his parents of placing “countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their facade”.

“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he wrote. “I’m not being controlled [by my wife], I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

Without giving specifics, he also claimed that before the wedding, his parents “repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name”.
