Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have switched off comments on their Instagram accounts as support for his devastated mother Victoria grows.
The eldest son of Victoria, 51, and Sir David, 50, had used his Instagram on Monday evening to launch a scathing attack on his parents.
In the six-page statement, Brooklyn claimed they had intentionally tried to break up his relationship to billionaire heiress Nicola, 30, before their wedding.
He also said he has no wish to reconcile with his family and is standing up for himself ‘for the first time in my life’, claiming his parents have ‘controlled narratives about our family’.
The nepo baby is now believed to be ‘lying low’ following his statement and the Daily Mail can reveal he has limited commenting from fans on his public posts.
Actress Nicola has also changed her settings on the Meta-owned social media platform to control the backlash.

The pair have switched off all comments from fans, with only their friends and people they follow now able to leave a reply.
Brooklyn’s most recent post from last week, which shows him holding hands with Nicola as well as pictures of their pet dogs, has just five comments compared to thousands of messages he is usually left.
Among the small pool of loyal followers in Brooklyn’s replies is DJ Fat Tony and Australian singer and actor Cody Simpson.
Brooklyn had faced an avalanche of comments from his followers for months, urging him to ‘call your parents’ and to make amends with them.
Since taking aim at his mother, where he claimed Victoria had ‘danced inappropriately’ on him during his 2022 nuptials to Nicola, support for the former Spice Girl has grown.
And, despite memes poking fun at Victoria, including AI videos seemingly depicting her dance with Brooklyn, her solo singles have reentered the music charts.
Victoria’s 2001 track Not Such An Innocent Girl has shot to number one on the iTunes chart in Ireland and on Thursday morning sat in the number two slot in the UK.
The chart positions have been helped by a social media campaign which is determined to ‘fix the national tragedy’ that ‘Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a solo #1.’

‘Nothing says ‘British Culture’ like collectively deciding to send Posh to the top of the charts because her son roasted her on Insta. Imagine both their faces,’ reads a viral post on Instagram.
‘I’ve seen more VB music promo in the last 24 hours than in the last 20 years and I am obsessed. Let’s get her that #1 for the plot twist of the year. Download ‘Not Such An Innocent Girl. We are unhinged. Stream Posh. It’s a national emergency.’
While Victoria was said to have been left ‘on the floor in pieces’ after being alerted to Brooklyn’s post on Monday, she could have the last laugh with the campaign backing Posh Spice building momentum.
Brooklyn’s younger brother Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, have both been spotted since their brother’s statement.
Whilst Victoria has not been spotted, Sir David was heckled on Tuesday as he faced the media at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
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.’
Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz have been at the heart of the acrimonious divide that has resulted in them snubbing all significant family celebrations over recent months, including his father Sir David’s milestone 50th birthday and knighthood.
Concluding his lengthy statement at the start of the week, Brooklyn said: ‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.
‘Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.
‘The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.
‘I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.
‘My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.’
