Nicola Peltz's scathing text messages which left her former wedding planners in tears and drinking shots of tequila have been revealed in court.
The Bates Motel actress, 27, tied the knot with Brooklyn Beckham, 23, last April as the pair went through three separate event organisers in the lead up to the big day. Nicola's billionaire father Nelson Peltz, 80, is suing her second organisers Plan Design Events – claiming they failed to return a deposit of $159,000 after being fired.
According to the lawsuit, Peltz is suing Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba of the Miami-based firm, whom he and his wife allegedly hired six weeks before the wedding. The couple hired the duo after their initial planner, Preston Bailey – who planned Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s wedding - stepped down.
In court documents obtained by The Mirror, it stated that on February 23, 2022, the pair were requested to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement by Peltz as a preliminary step before more discussions. On March 1, Peltz's legal team sent the event duo revised proposals for the star-studded event as well as the hefty sum of $159,000 as a deposit.
The documents state that Peltz believed the deposit sum would be refunded if the group could not come to an agreement on the arrangements set out by the family. According to Peltz, the Plan Design Events organisation simply had to deal with the RSVP list but he believes they "seriously misrepresented their skills and abilities and, in fact, lacked the necessary skills to perform".
The Peltz family finally landed on Michelle Rago to carry out Nicola and Brooklyn's big day, but Nelson reportedly had to pay a “substantially higher fee than what Rago Destinations would have charged” due to the last minute time frame.
In a bid to aid his case, Nelson shared screenshots of text messages sent between Nicola, Arianna and Nicole which saw Nicole say she needed to guzzle a tequila as her "head (was) about to explode."
"Yes queen!!!!!!" responded Nicola.
One text message saw Nicola say she was "tired of catching" mistakes made by Nicole and Arianna after they stated one guest responded to say he would be in attendance – despite speaking to Nicola on a private basis.
Arianna sent a text reading: "Then I pulled the wrong database. I'm a wedding planner not a tech lol. Give me a sec I will not let this defeat me." To which Nicola responded: "I'm tired of catching mistakes on this RSVP list honestly."
In texts obtained by MailOnline, Nicola texted Braghin and Grijalba about Lewis Hamilton, who was invited to the Palm Beach wedding but did not attend.
“Lewis Hamilton did NOT RSVP. So explain why his names on the list please,” Nicola wrote in the group text chain. “We spoke to him. He can’t come so explain why you said he rsvpd yes”.
Nicole and Arianna were later axed from the job, with the pair emailing Nelson and Claudia asking that in any comments about their exit, the Peltz family should comment on their efforts, work and good attitude.
In the lawsuit, Peltz claimed that Plan Design Events couldn’t handle the expectations of the VIP guestlist, which “included more than five hundred people, including numerous celebrities, athletes, dignitaries and other influential individuals, who travelled from all around the globe to attend.”
His daughter is also described in the lawsuit as a “world-famous actress who has starred in blockbuster movies and television shows, including, among others, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Bates Motel, and The Last Airbender.”
On March 14, Nelson – via a representative asked for the pair to return the deposit but Plan Design Events failed to return the sum. On March 25, Peltz's legal representation sent a "final demand" for the sum claiming they were responsible of "civil theft".
The letter stated that if the pair did not return the sum in four days, he would "pursue all available remedies" to brain the "misappropriated deposit, plus three times damages, attorney's fees and costs."
The case continues.
