Rebecca Visser, a 36-year-old content creator and stay-at-home mom from California, permanently cut ties with her mother nearly three years ago, blocking her on social media and on her phone — and she has no plans to reverse the decision. It wasn’t something she took lightly. “Adult children don’t go no contact out of the blue,” Visser tells The Independent. “It’s something that’s been building up, and once they’d done it — nine times out of 10 — it’s a last resort. If they’re going no contact, maybe it’s time to look at the parent and not necessarily the child.”
It’s a dilemma that has bulldozed into the spotlight after 26-year-old Brooklyn Peltz Beckham launched an astonishing attack on his parents, soccer icon David and former Spice Girl Victoria. After months of a rumoured feud, Brooklyn finally confirmed he has gone no contact with his parents and has no interest in reconciling with them. In his statement, he accused his parents of planting stories about him in the press, pressuring him to adhere to “performative” family front and “trying endlessly to ruin” his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, since their marriage in 2022.
