KATIE HIND hears ‘tone-deaf’ Brooklyn wants to reconcile with parents David and Victoria after shock staff exit – but wife Nicola Peltz is ‘obsessed’ with driving the Beckham rift. ‘It’s pathetic and out of control!’

by

Matthew Hiltzik, a Hollywood publicist known for aggressively defending his clients, previously worked on Harvey Weinstein’s PR team for many years. Because of this experience, he’s very skilled at managing difficult situations and public relations crises.

Given that Nicola Peltz, who comes from a wealthy American family and is married to Brooklyn Beckham, was experiencing conflict with her in-laws, David and Victoria Beckham, it was natural that she turned to Hiltzik for assistance in dealing with the situation.

Last June, with assistance from her father, the well-known and assertive businessman Nelson Peltz, she hired him for a very costly project.

As the public largely sided with the Beckhams during their disagreement, Nicola decided to address the situation by spending a significant amount of money.

Hiltzik’s job was to defend the Peltzes’ image, repair any damage to their reputation, and ensure the entire Peltz family—including Brooklyn—came out looking favorable in the public eye.

It didn’t take long for the statements coming from Nicola and Brooklyn’s team in California to become more dramatic.

The Beckhams have been accused of sexism, and they’ve reportedly blamed Nicola, 31, for the fractured relationship with their oldest son.

Nicola seemed very angry when I mentioned that people close to the Beckhams had reportedly started calling Brooklyn, age 26, ‘The Hostage’ because he appears to always do what Nicola wants.

Recently, reports surfaced that they had their lawyers, Schillings in London, send David and Victoria Beckham a ‘cease and desist’ letter last summer. This letter asked that all communication between the two sides be handled through the lawyers.

I can now share that the disagreement has become too difficult for even Hiltzik to handle. After working with him for seven months, the couple has ended their relationship with the publicist, and both parties state the decision was mutual.

According to sources, Nelson ended the business partnership because his daughter remained deeply upset about how she was being portrayed in the media. Nicola and Brooklyn also reportedly supported his decision to dissolve the partnership.

However, some people claim Hiltzik ended the friendship because Nicola repeatedly provoked her in-laws online – for example, with a recent, overly affectionate post about her mother Claudia’s birthday. This follows a pattern, as the couple skipped all events for David Beckham’s 50th birthday last year. Those close to Nicola acknowledge she can be very demanding.

Whatever the truth, sources agree on one thing: it’s ‘a blow’ for Nicola and Brooklyn.

According to a source, Matthew has stopped working with Nicola and Brooklyn. This is reportedly upsetting for them, and Nicola previously shared details about their disagreement with the media.

Although some find Matthew’s intense style difficult, he excels at handling crises. Losing him means the team is likely at a significant disadvantage.

Nicola appeared determined, even consumed, with seeking revenge against David and Victoria.

Honestly, the whole situation is just getting sad. It’s become this endless back-and-forth of accusations, and it’s clear Nicola is determined to project an image that everything is fine and Hiltzik hasn’t left her. For both her and her father, winning – being seen as successful and in control – is absolutely essential. It’s less about the truth and more about maintaining appearances and a certain status.

‘Anyone who knows Hiltzik knows that by hiring him it

This suggests he would have strongly pressured the media to avoid publishing anything critical of Nicola or Brooklyn. It confirms she actively wanted to control the story being told.

New York-based publicist Hiltzik stopped working with Harvey Weinstein in 2005 and completely severed ties with him after Weinstein was imprisoned in 2018. Since then, Hiltzik has represented high-profile clients like Justin Bieber, Johnny Depp, and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Shortly after Mario Hiltzik finished working with the Beckham-Peltz family, Brooklyn posted a photo of himself and Nicola drinking a bottle of Victoria’s preferred wine, which costs around £5,000.

He surprised his wife with a bottle of Screaming Eagle Sauvignon Blanc to celebrate her 31st birthday last week.

According to one source, these two individuals, who benefit from family connections and don’t have demanding jobs, are very concerned about how they’re perceived. It’s ironic, then, that they publicly flaunt expensive luxuries, like a £5,000 bottle of wine.

‘Perhaps that’s the kind of thing that Matthew was getting fed up with – who knows?’

I first shared last April that Brooklyn had stopped speaking to his parents because he didn’t go to his father’s 50th birthday party.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following the Beckham family closely, and it’s clear David and Victoria were deeply upset by recent events. From what I understand, they feel Nicola is primarily responsible for the situation, which is a really tough dynamic for everyone involved.

Nicola, unsurprisingly, refutes this claim. She stated through her representative, Hiltzik, that Brooklyn was free to decide how he wanted to relate to his parents.

However, are there signs that Brooklyn might be more open to getting back together than Nicola lets on?

According to a report in the New York Post, from what I understand is a reliable insider, this seems to be the case.

They said things had been quiet for a while before the news about the legal letter caused a stir.

According to a source close to the couple, Brooklyn is doing everything he can to please Nicola, but the situation is becoming unmanageable. The source believes Brooklyn would always want to reconcile with his parents.

I’ve heard that David and Victoria Beckham have sadly come to terms with the fact that their son, Brooklyn, who they used to be very close to…

He – the creator of the Cloud 23 hot sauce, named after his father’s jersey number from his time playing for Real Madrid and the LA Galaxy – isn’t currently interested in connecting with them.

But perhaps they now have a small glimmer of hope that, one day, he may return to them.

According to a source, Brooklyn seems determined to make Nicola happy, but his parents would be overjoyed if he reached out to them again.
