Ex-Employee Slams Nicola Peltz as “Worst Celebrity Ever” in Beckham Family Feud

The Beckham family feud has gotten even more heated this week, with a surprising new voice joining the conversation. Justin Anderson, a celebrity hairstylist who previously worked with Nicola Peltz, publicly sided with David and Victoria Beckham, criticizing the actress for her role in the family drama.

On Monday, January 19, Anderson took to social media to share his thoughts on working with Brooklyn Beckham’s wife. “Brooklyn’s wife was one of the worst ‘celebs’ I’ve ever worked with,” he wrote. He didn’t hold back, adding, “It’s her [100 percent emoji]. She’s a baddddd apple. Everyone knows how close the Beckham family really is …”

Anderson went further on Instagram Stories, describing Nicola as having “spooky energy” and saying she was “not nice.” He even claimed that the warning signs were clear long before the wedding. “I can say with my full chest. Not good energy … Based on how many wedding planners she went through, I think she’s the issue,” he wrote. “Not a good person … So, like I perked up right when I saw they were getting married. I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, this isn’t going to be good for that family.’”

Brooklyn Beckham also broke his silence on the ongoing speculation about his family drama. Posting to Instagram Stories the same day, he defended Nicola and explained that he has chosen to distance himself from his parents. “The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life,” he said.

Brooklyn described the separation from his parents as a relief for his mental health. “For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared,” he wrote. “I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.”

He also addressed the long-running “dress drama” from their 2022 wedding. Brooklyn confirmed that Victoria Beckham was originally supposed to design Nicola’s dress, but blamed his mother for the last-minute change.

“My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding and it hasn’t stopped,” he wrote. “My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her urgently to find a new dress.” Brooklyn added that Victoria allegedly “hijacked” their first dance, which added tension to the event.

The tension has been visible for years. Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in May 2025, while his siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper attended. Brooklyn’s post makes it clear that the couple is intentionally keeping distance from his parents.

Brooklyn Beckham has had a varied career over the past decade. He first made a name for himself as a photographer with his 2017 book What I See. He’s also moved into cooking with his online series Cookin’ with Brooklyn and continues modeling for luxury brands like Tiffany & Co. and Pepe Jeans.

Nicola Peltz, daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and model Claudia Heffner, started acting as a child. She played Katara in The Last Airbender and starred in Bates Motel, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Holidate. Recently, she wrote, directed, and starred in the independent film Lola, showing her ambitions beyond acting.
