DJ Fat Tony Breaks Silence on Brooklyn Beckham's Wedding Dance Controversy
DJ Fat Tony has provided a detailed account of the events surrounding Brooklyn Beckham's controversial first wedding dance during an appearance on This Morning. The revelations come after Brooklyn released a six-page statement containing explosive claims about his parents, Victoria and David Beckham, allegedly hijacking his special moment with bride Nicola Peltz.
The Tense Wedding Moment Described
According to Fat Tony, the incident occurred when musician Marc Anthony was performing at the wedding reception. Anthony called Brooklyn onto the stage, with guests expecting the groom to share his first dance with Nicola. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when Anthony instead invited "the most beautiful woman in the room" to join them, specifically requesting Victoria Beckham.
"At that point, Brooklyn is devastated because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife," Fat Tony explained. "Nicola leaves the room crying her eyes out. Marc says, 'Put your hands on your mother's hips!' It was a Latin thing and that whole situation was awkward for everyone in the room."
Aftermath and Family Estrangement
The DJ confirmed that the uncomfortable moment became the main topic of conversation the following day during the wedding brunch, which he described as "the most awkward part of it all." He noted that not many guests attended the brunch, but those who did were discussing the previous night's events and how sad the situation had become.
Brooklyn's statement revealed that the experience left him feeling "humiliated" and "controlled" throughout his life, leading to his decision to become estranged from his parents. The couple felt so strongly about the incident that they renewed their vows in 2025 to create positive wedding memories free from the anxiety and embarrassment of their original ceremony.
Defending Victoria's Actions
Despite the controversy, Fat Tony offered some defence for Victoria Beckham's actions. "There was no slut dropping, there was no PVC catsuit, there was no Spice Girls actions," he stated regarding her dancing. "The word inappropriate - why I said it was inappropriate as well because it was the timing."
He emphasised that Victoria was placed in an awkward position by Marc Anthony's request and suggested that too many additional stories have been added to the original incident. "The dance is a very small part of the bigger problem," he concluded, referring to the broader family estrangement.
Reactions and Consequences
The situation has had lasting repercussions for all involved. Fat Tony revealed that the Beckhams have unfollowed him on social media after he posted a meme parodying Victoria's alleged dancing. Meanwhile, wedding guest Stavros Agapiou confirmed Brooklyn's version of events in a now-deleted social media post, writing "I was there, and she did; he's telling the truth."
This Morning host Alison Hammond expressed her sadness about the family rift, offering to mediate between Brooklyn and his parents. "As a mother, the whole thing saddens me," she said. "I would love to bring you all together and I would love to mediate."
Moving Forward
Brooklyn and Nicola have been photographed looking happy together on Malibu beach since the statement's release, walking their dog and smiling. A source close to the couple indicated that Brooklyn has no regrets about speaking out, with the insider stating: "He would do it all again in a heartbeat but now he just wants to live his life with the woman he loves."
Fat Tony, who has been a close friend of the Beckham family for years and even DJed Brooklyn's 21st birthday party, reflected on the broader implications: "What's sad is that this is the bit that everyone's taken from the statement, and kind of white washed everything else that went on... I think what we're all missing here is the fact that parents have lost their child, and a son has lost his parents."
