Brooklyn's Billion-Dollar Rebellion & Blake's Messy Receipts

Last week brought us trust fund drama, unsealed text messages, and Oscar history.

The Beckham-Peltz Mess

Brooklyn Beckham posted Instagram stories blasting his parents for “controlling narratives” and prioritizing branding over family. His evidence? Victoria allegedly bailed on designing Nicola’s wedding dress and danced inappropriately with him at his wedding.

The problem: There are three completely different versions of the wedding dress story, and Nicola’s year-long Valentino couture process proves Victoria didn’t bail “last minute.”

The real tea: Brooklyn went from living off the Beckhams ($637M) to living off the Peltzes ($1.6B). Nelson Peltz bought him a $14.7M mansion and funds all his vanity projects. He’s not choosing independence—he’s choosing a bigger trust fund with fewer expectations.

Who is Nicola? Daughter of billionaire Trump donor Nelson Peltz. Known for allegedly bullying staff as a teen, going through three wedding planners, and being called a “monster” by her former hairstylist.
