“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be,” she added. “And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”

Victoria has stayed quiet since Brooklyn accused her and David Beckham of trying to sabotage his relationship with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham and spreading “countless lies” in a series of explosive posts on his Instagram Stories back in January.
Among the messages, Brooklyn claimed his parents had been trying “endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Nicola in the name of publicity and valued “public promotion and endorsements above all else.”
Other accusations included claiming his parents tried to “bribe” him into “signing away the rights” to his name before his and Nicola’s wedding and that Victoria “hijacked” his wedding dance with Nicola and “danced inappropriately on me.”

Brooklyn wrote, “I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private,” adding, “Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.”
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he said at the time.
