Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s wedding DJ has unveiled new details about the “really awkward" dance that Brooklyn shared with his mom, Victoria, in 2022.
In an appearance on This Morning, DJ Fat Tony went into detail about the wedding that’s become the centerpiece of online conversations thanks to Brooklyn and Nicola’s family drama involving Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria.
“It was a three-day wedding,” Tony remembered. “I did the welcome party, then I did the wedding and a brunch on the Sunday, which was the most awkward part of it all because everything that had gone on on the actual wedding night was discussed among the guests the next morning.”
Tony continued, explaining that in his view, what was inappropriate about the mother-daughter dance was its timing — not, as Brooklyn claimed on Instagram, both that and his mother's dance moves.
“There was no slut dropping, there was no black PVC catsuits, there was no Spice Girl action,” Tony said. “...The word inappropriate, why I said it was inappropriate as well ... it was the timing."
"Basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, and he then called Brooklyn on to stage,” Tony continued. “Brooklyn went onto the stage, and everyone was expecting it to be Nicola to go up and do the first dance. Marc Anthony asked ‘the most beautiful woman in the room’ to come to the stage, and he says, ‘Victoria, come to the stage.’"
Tony explained that Brooklyn was “devastated” when his mom came to the stage, because he thought that he would be having his first dance with his wife. Nicola, for her part, left the room “crying her eyes out,” the DJ continued.
"Brooklyn's stuck there on stage and then they do this dance and Marc Anthony's going, ‘Put your hands on your mother’s hips,’ and it's Latin, it was a Latin thing. The whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room,” said Tony.
In his angry posts about his parents allegedly trying to “ruin” his marriage, Brooklyn accused them of halting the planned design of Nicola’s wedding dress, and said that his mother hijacked his first dance — and ratcheted up the discomfort with some surprising moves.
"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone," Brooklyn wrote. "I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."
Brooklyn also claimed that he doesn’t want to “reconcile” with his parents.
"I'm not being controlled," he wrote. "I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."
