As Brooklyn Beckham dropped bombshell accusations against his mother Victoria Beckham’s “inappropriate” dancing at his 2022 wedding, the DJ who performed at the celebration has now revealed what exactly happened.
On January 19, the eldest Beckham child shared a scathing six-slide statement accusing his family of manipulation and mistreatment, claiming his parents tried to “ruin my marriage” to Nicola Peltz Beckham.
Addressing the wedding day allegations, DJ Fat Tony, whose real name is Tony Marnach, admitted the situation was indeed “really awkward.”
“So Brooklyn is basically telling the truth…” reacted one social media user.
DJ Fat Tony appeared to confirm some of the points alleged by Brooklyn Beckham regarding his mother Victoria Beckham’s “inappropriate” dance with him
In his explosive online rant, Brooklyn alleged that during his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz, his mother had “hijacked” the couple’s first dance and “danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone” at a moment meant to be a “romantic dance” with his wife instead.
He claimed that in that moment, he “never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
Brooklyn also expressed that he does “not want to reconcile with my family,” adding, “I’m not being controlled. I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
“Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.”
He continued, “My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.”
Amid these bombshell accusations, DJ Fat Tony appeared on the popular UK talk show This Morning, hosted by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, earlier today, where he shed light on the wedding-day situation, having been among the guests in attendance.
Tony’s relationship with the Beckhams has reportedly been described as that of a long-time close friend and frequent collaborator for over two decades.
The DJ’s recent comments, along with poking fun at the situation through memes online, have reportedly led to his fallout with David and Victoria
He has also long been considered the “official” DJ for Beckham family events, including the now-infamous 2022 wedding in question.
Addressing the former Spice Girl’s dance with her son at the wedding, Tony shared on the show that the moment was “inappropriate” due to its “timing,” rather than the dance moves themselves.
He explained, “There was no sl*t dropping, there was no PVC catsuit, there was no Spice Girls actions. The word inappropriate – why I said it was inappropriate as well because it was the timing.”
“What happened was – basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto the stage. Everyone is expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance and then Marc asks the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage, and then he said, ‘Victoria come to the stage.’”
The DJ continued, “So Victoria is by the stage, she goes onto the stage, and of course, at that point, Brooklyn is literally, like, devastated because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife.”
“Then Nicola leaves the room crying her eyes out.”
Tony went on to say, “Brooklyn is stuck there on stage, and they do this dance, and Mark Anthony says, ‘Put your hands on your mother’s hips.’”
Tony, who had maintained a close friendship with the Beckhams for over two decades, said the “whole situation was really awkward for everyone”

“It was a Latin thing, and the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room…”
Emphasizing Brooklyn’s emotional response, the musician added, “This is all about how Brooklyn feels. If he felt it was inappropriate and awkward, then it was inappropriate.”
He added that the following day’s brunch was the “most awkward part of it all,” as guests openly discussed the dance incident.
When asked about the nature of those conversations, Tony told the hosts, “When the bride and groom leave their wedding devastated, word trickles out…”
“Everyone was talking about it, and how sad that part of it was. But Victoria was thrown into that situation, and I think too much has been read into it… in the sense of too many stories being added to it. The dance is a very small part of the bigger problem.”
Addressing why Brooklyn chose to air his grievances publicly rather than resolve them privately with his parents, Tony explained, “He’s done all that. It got to the point for him where he can’t take this anymore and wanted to step back from it, and that was his way of doing closure. That’s his decision.”
“It’s taken a lot for someone to go to social media, when your life is lived out on social media… he wanted to change the narrative. For all of his life he’s been called ‘Nepo Baby’, and ‘he should be grateful that he’s got the family name’… But that’s what he was born into, y’know.”
Brooklyn claimed in his explosive statement, “My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song”
He concluded by saying, “I think what we’re all missing here is the fact that parents have lost their child, and a son has lost his parents…”
His remarks come amid reports that both David and Victoria have recently unfollowed him on social media, allegedly following the DJ posting a meme poking fun at the situation.
On January 21, Tony shared a video of Lucy Punch’s character Amanda from the BBC sitcom Motherland, dancing wildly and provocatively in front of fellow school mums.
The clip Tony shared also featured a title reading, “POV: Victoria Beckham during Brooklyn’s first dance…”
Tony further wrote in the caption, “Actual video footage it’s true I was there!”
Tony’s partner, Stavros Agapiou, also backed up Brooklyn’s claims in a now-deleted Instagram comment, writing, “I was there and she did, he’s telling the truth.”
After deleting the comment, Stavros later added, “Good on him for finally speaking out!”
While netizens have been eager to see the alleged footage of the “inappropriate” dance involving the mother of the groom, the video will likely never surface, as Brooklyn is reportedly the only person in possession of the clip.
The couple’s wedding ceremony enforced an ultra-strict “no-phones” policy.
Upon arrival, all 500 guests were required to surrender their personal mobile phones, which were sealed in electronically locked pouches.
Guests were instead issued retro flip phones for basic, low-quality photos, and all social media use was strictly prohibited.
“I’m a MIL and I’ve always made sure my DIL comes first… Don’t try to upstage his wife. Jealousy is self defeating,” wrote one furious netizen
