Beckham family's 'inside joke' whenever 'monster' Nicola Peltz enters room

The Beckham family is alleged to have a running joke whenever Nicola Peltz enters a room, as an ex friend of Brooklyn's claimed his wife is 'actually a monster'.

In the Beckham household, it is alleged there's a running gag that when Nicola Peltz walks into a room, it's best to duck and cover.

"Waiters are often in the firing line," claims a source. "Staff, family members, you name it....they've seen it with their own eyes."

Of course, one could argue that being raised in a loud, wealthy American family, these are simply cultural differences.

Nicola's mates would say she's a woman who knows her mind and isn't shy about expressing her views.

However, others - including the Beckhams - might suggest such conduct can seem impolite.

"Say what you like about David and Victoria, but manners are incredibly important to them," says one source close to the family.

"Brooklyn is often close behind Nicola soothing things over. It's almost as if he is being extra nice as if to offset his wife," reports the Mirror.

This sharp comment highlights the ongoing family tension, still simmering weeks after Brooklyn and his wife skipped David's 50th birthday bash.

The peak came last week with an astonishing claim from Nicola's friends that she had helped Brooklyn "see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within his family."

A source close to the Beckhams - who previously dismissed the allegations as "deeply unpleasant and patently untrue" - said it was a "bit rich" for Nicola's friends to preach about toxic behaviour.

They had witnessed the "horror-show" of her and Brooklyn's extravagant 2022 three-day wedding at the £76million family mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

"The alarm bells began to ring", says a source. "Nicola was very stressed out and quite difficult to be around."

Friends of Nicola suggest a lot of this stemmed from Victoria's alleged refusal to design her wedding dress.

They claim she spent three months with the Beckhams in 2020 and made every effort to fit into the family.

"Nicola was working hard to have a healthy relationship," says a mate.

However, now other tales are beginning to surface from Los Angeles about similar encounters with Brooklyn's wife.

Top celebrity hair colourist Justin Anderson, who has worked with stars like Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Aniston, collaborated with Brooklyn's wife when she starred in Transformers early in her acting career.

When asked previously if there was a celebrity he would never work with again, Anderson labelled her as the "worst of the worst of the worst", adding that she was "actually a monster".

Peltz's friends argue this portrayal is false and originates from an incident involving Justin on set.

The celebrity hair colourist had previously remarked in a 2019 interview: "I remember this one time, the worst of the worst of the worst was this one little diva girl - I am going to get into trouble - she was the new Transformers girl.

"Her name was Nicola Peltz. She is from a really wealthy family. She was supposed to be the new It Girl but she has disappeared now. She is actually a monster."

He continued: "It's so small in this town that if you are an a**hole people dont want to work with you.

"People who are really rude at the beginning...who think I am in this movie now, I am going to be this huge star, and they start having an attitude, no-one wants to work with that s***".

Last night, a source close to Nicola clapped back at her hair colourist's past remarks, suggesting the animosity originated from their collaboration during the Transformers film press tour.

The informant suggested that Justin became "distracted" and consequently left bleach on Nicola's hair for too long, leading to the hiring of a new stylist for the rest of the press tour.

However, Justin's friends have contested this narrative. One commented: "Nicola knows that's not the truth of what happened that day...she doesn't want to open up that can of worms."

Recently, comments resurfaced from actress Bella Thorne who previously described an unnamed Hollywood star as a 'very, very mean girl', leading fans to suspect she was referring to Peltz.

"It's not I hate her because she's a billionaire. I don't like her because she is a billionaire and makes sure everyone knows that she is," remarked Thorne.

Further to her comments, Thorne added: "I never say hello to her. Her siblings are not mean like she is. It's just her.

"One of the reasons I don't like her is because she's been a billionaire since she was very little, and she's never had to work for anything in her life."

The timing of Bella's critique follows just a year after Peltz, who has seven siblings, starred alongside Greg Sulkin in the 2014 indie film Affluenza; Sulkin was at the time Bella's beau.

An insider commented: "Who knows if this is about Nicola....but it's fair to say she very much knows her own mind."
