Marc Anthony has been blamed by furious fans for causing the Beckham family feud after he ‘ruined’ Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz’s wedding.
David and Victoria’s longtime friend and the former husband of Jennifer Lopez , 57, performed at the 2022 nuptials and reportedly made a jibe that left the bride in tears and rushing from the room, followed by her billionaire family.
Brooklyn, 26, stated in an explosive six-page statement on Monday that he had no intention of reconciling with his family and said Victoria ‘hijacked’ his first dance with his wife and ‘danced very inappropriately on me’, leaving him ‘uncomfortable and humiliated’.
But according to DJ Fat Tony, another longtime friend of the Beckhams who also performed on the big day, it was singer Marc who was to blame.
As well as ‘instructing’ Brooklyn to place his hands on his mother’s hips, the singer also declared Victoria ‘The most beautiful woman in the room’ while introducing her for the surprise dance, leaving bride Nicola heartbroken.
Taking to X fans fumed, with former Love Island winner and TV personality Dani Dyer declaring: ‘So it was all Marc Anthony’s fault?’.

While others said: ‘Its all Marc Anthony’s fault!’:’That sounds like Marc Anthony created that awkward moment and Brooklyn lashed out at Victoria because it’s easier for him than standing up yo Marc Anthony. Shame on you Brooklyn’: ‘So really it’s Marc Anthony’s fault? Ok Kool’:
‘That Marc Anthony guy did a stinker’: ‘The Beckham drama being caused by Marc Anthony is SENDING ME’: ‘This was Marc Anthony’s error absolutely’: So a part of the story that caused the issue to turn into a global uproar is a lie, a disgraceful way Brooklyn described his mother’s dance. A despicable son. The fact actually lies with Marc Anthony, bit the blame was placed on his mother instead’.
Fans have also been taking to the comments on Marc’s Instagram asking for more details about the drama.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Fat Tony said Nicola’s family stormed after her while the groom looked humiliated before also went to find his new wife after the ‘awkward’ dance took place.
The DJ said at one point Brooklyn’s hands were on his mother’s waist while her arms were placed around his neck.
‘The timing was inappropriate for me. It was meant to be a bride and groom’s moment, It was in the heat of the moment’.
‘Brooklyn left right after the dance. Nicola left the room and afterwards he went after her. Nicola’s family left, they went after their daughter. Marc Anthony is a latin singer. It was a love song’
When asked if Brooklyn had his hands on Victoria’s hips, he said: ‘Well, yeah. It was slow dancing, it wasn’t like some samba number. Victoria had her arms around his neck.’

Daily Mail have contacted Marc Anthony’s representatives for comment.
Meanwhile on Friday’s episode of ITV’s This Morning, Tony shared: ‘There was no slut-dropping, there was no PVC cat suits, no Spice Girl action!
‘The word “inappropriate”, why I said it was as well, it was the timing, this is what happened.’
Tony continued: ‘What happened was, basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto stage.
‘Brooklyn went on to the stage, and the next minute everyone’s expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then Marc asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage – and then he says “Victoria, come to the stage”.’
He revealed that Brooklyn looked ‘devastated’ at the fact his first dance was with Victoria and not his wife, adding that Nicola left the room ‘crying her eyes out’.
Tony went on: ‘Brooklyn is stuck there on stage, and they do this dance, and Marc Anthony says “put your hands on your mother’s hips” and it was a Latin thing, and the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room…
‘I’ve done an awful lot of Beckham parties in the past, and they are a very dancing close-knit family and love to dance, right? So you know, what we deem as “inappropriate” is not how Brooklyn feels.
‘This is all about how Brooklyn feels. If he feels that it was inappropriate and awkward, it was inappropriate and awkward.

Brooklyn made a series of bombshell allegations about his 2022 Florida wedding, including claims his mother dramatically intervened in what was meant to be his romantic first dance with Nicola.
An insider told The Sun: ‘Brooklyn was so embarrassed and his wife so humiliated and furious to have been upstaged.
‘She made her feelings very, very clear on the day. It soured the whole evening.’
The insider added of Victoria: ‘There was absolutely no malice there; quite the opposite.’
Meanwhile, a different source said David and Victoria are ‘baffled’ by the accusations, as on the day, guests were ‘having so much fun’ and were ‘lapping it up’, with no concerns about the mother and son dance raised at the time.
They said Victoria was just a ‘tad tipsy and having fun’ while ‘Nicola didn’t want him to dance with his mum at all – so kicked off about it’.
Page Six reported the actress was so upset she left the reception crying after Victoria ‘wrapped her arms around Brooklyn and nuzzled into his neck’.
A source said: ‘She [Victoria] was dancing with him very inappropriately. She took that moment from Nicola, that is the god’s truth.
‘Nicola ran out crying. The Beckhams’ side of the room was cheering and the Peltz side was quiet.
‘Nicola’s friends were saying, “You have to go back down.” Her face was swollen. She finally came down and was sad the entire evening, it was so heartbreaking.’
Another source claimed Brooklyn spent the weekend ‘agonising’ over what to say in the six-page statement, after telling his wife ‘f*** it, this ends now’.
The insider told The Mirror: ‘He thought the abuse towards his wife would never stop until he said something in his own words. He was sick of the lies, and there was no changing his mind….and nor did anyone want to. He was fixated on ending the b******t which he claims his mum and dad are behind.’
