Cruz Beckham has responded with humor to an online troll who claimed the Beckham children were "ugly." The youngest of David and Victoria Beckham's sons posted a meme of comedian Druski looking confused and pointing to himself, which garnered nearly 70,000 likes, reportedly doubling the engagement on the original post.
This clapback comes amid reports of turmoil within the Beckham family, particularly between eldest son Brooklyn and his parents. Brooklyn Beckham released a statement in January declaring he had cut ties with "Brand Beckham," describing his parents and siblings as "performative" and alleging they controlled media narratives and placed "countless lies in the media."
While David and Victoria Beckham are said to be devastated by the fallout, Cruz has appeared to navigate the situation with humor. He has seemingly made light of Brooklyn's claims and his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz, through a series of social media posts.
Following Brooklyn's assertion that Victoria Beckham had danced "very inappropriately" on him at his 2022 wedding, the internet generated numerous memes, some of which Cruz reportedly liked. Cruz also shared a TikTok video with his brother Romeo and their girlfriends, captioned: "Imagine hating and we’re just here like."
Brooklyn claimed in his statement that his brothers Romeo and Cruz were "sent to attack him," leading him to block them. In the past, Cruz has publicly addressed rumors concerning the family, including clarifying that Brooklyn and Kim Turnbull never dated and that his parents had not unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram, stating they were blocked.
Cruz has also appeared to indirectly comment on Brooklyn's career path. When a follower asked if he would stick with his current pursuits or become a race car driver, Cruz responded, "Wrong brother mate," seemingly alluding to Brooklyn's varied career ventures in cooking, photography, and styling.
He also appeared to mimic a gushing social media post from Brooklyn about choosing Nicola, posting hours later a family tribute to his mother, Victoria, stating, "I love my family, I love you guys more than anything." After Nicola and Brooklyn did not attend David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration, Cruz posted a cryptic message on Instagram Stories: "It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth."
