DJ Fat Tony, who performed at Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s wedding, said he found Victoria’s dancing moment with her son “inappropriate” and caused an “awkward” scene during the wedding, speaking on British daytime TV show This Morning on Friday, fueling accusations made by the younger Beckham earlier this week.

“There was no provocative dancing, there was no… black PVC outfits, there was no Spice Girls,” DJ Fat Tony said on the show. “The reason I said it was inappropriate was because of the timing.”
Fat Tony explained that singer Marc Anthony called Victoria Beckham, whom he described as “the most beautiful woman in the room,” on stage just as Brooklyn and Nicola were due to have their first dance, “which had been planned weeks in advance,” according to Brooklyn in a statement issued earlier this week. At that point, Victoria joined her son on stage, leaving him “devastated” and causing Nicola to “leave the room crying uncontrollably.”
She then described the post-wedding brunch as “the most awkward part of the whole thing,” as the drama was being “discussed” among the guests.
Beckham first accused his parents of disrespecting his marriage in a series of Instagram posts on Monday, stating that he had “no intention” of reconciling with his family.

“The whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room,” Fat Tony said, describing how Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to “put her hands on her mother’s hips” for a Latin dance.

Key background
On Monday, Brooklyn Beckham posted a series of stories on Instagram accusing his parents, David and Victoria, of “controlling the press narrative” about their family through “performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships,” and of repeatedly disrespecting him and his wife Nicola. “My parents have been trying relentlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped,” Beckham wrote, describing how his mother canceled production of the wedding dress he had designed for his wife “at the last minute” and ruined the wedding celebration by dancing “very inappropriately” during what was supposed to be the newlyweds’ first dance. The next day, during an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, David Beckham appeared to indirectly address the conflict, saying that he has always talked about social media and its power, “for better and for worse.” He added that “the negative thing we have mentioned is what children can see today, it can be dangerous,” and noted that his children “make mistakes, but children have the right to make mistakes. That’s how they learn. That’s what I try to teach them. Sometimes you have to let them make those mistakes too.”
