Marc Anthony has broken his silence on the Beckham family drama. The Grammy-winning singer’s name came up in the controversy after Brooklyn Beckham accused his mother, Victoria Beckham, of dancing “very inappropriately” at his wedding while Anthony was performing.
Marc Anthony speaks up on Beckham family feud
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Marc Anthony shared his thoughts on the ongoing drama within the Beckham family. The “Vivir Mi Vida” hitmaker had been a long-time friend of the family and even performed at Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding.
“I have nothing to say about what’s happening with the family. They’re a wonderful, wonderful family,” Anthony stated. “I’ve known them since before the kids were born. I’m godfather to Cruz. I’m really close to the family,” the singer continued.
In conclusion, Anthony said, “But I have nothing to say about what happened there. It’s extremely unfortunate how it’s playing out — but [how it’s playing out] is hardly the truth.”
Anthony’s statement comes a month after Brooklyn penned a controversial expose against his parents. “My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance, to a romantic love song,” he wrote on Instagram.
“In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead,” he added.
The influencer and aspiring chef also alleged that his mother, Victoria Beckham, “danced very inappropriately” with him. “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life,” he added.
DJ Fat Tony, who was a guest performer at the wedding, later weighed in, saying, “Brooklyn’s literally devastated, because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife.” Speaking with ITV, he recalled, “They do this dance and Marc Anthony’s like, ‘Go put your hands on your mother’s hips.’ And it was a Latin, you know, Latin thing. And the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room.”
