- nicola peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have ended their working relationship with publicist Matthew Hiltzik.
- The decision follows escalating accusations and attempts to control the narrative surrounding the family dispute.
- Sources suggest differing accounts of the split, with both sides claiming to have initiated the termination.
- The Beckhams reportedly placed blame on Nicola Peltz for a breakdown in relations with their son.
Hiltzik, secured by Peltz with the backing of her father, Nelson Peltz, last June, was tasked with protecting the Peltz family’s reputation and influencing public opinion. As the Beckhams garnered more public sympathy, Nicola and Brooklyn reportedly sought to counter this through strategic public relations efforts.
The conflict escalated with accusations of misogyny leveled against David and Victoria Beckham, who have long expressed concerns about Nicola’s influence on their son. Nicola reportedly reacted strongly to claims that Brooklyn was simply following her lead, leading to him being nicknamed “The Hostage” within Beckham circles.

Further complicating matters, the Peltz-Beckham camp reportedly sent a ‘cease and desist’ letter to David and Victoria last summer, requesting all communication be channeled through their legal team, London-based Schillings.
Sources indicate that Nelson Peltz initiated the end of the partnership with Hiltzik, frustrated by his daughter’s continued negative portrayal in the media. However, Nicola and Brooklyn also maintain they were the ones who ended the agreement. Others suggest Hiltzik himself grew weary of Nicola’s public antagonism towards her in-laws,citing a recent social media post praising her mother.
The initial fallout between Brooklyn and his parents surfaced in April, when he did not attend his father’s 50th birthday celebrations. David and Victoria reportedly blamed Nicola for the strained relationship. Nicola, through Hiltzik, maintained that Brooklyn was free to make his own decisions regarding his relationship with his parents.
Recent reports suggest Brooklyn may be seeking reconciliation with his parents, despite Nicola’s apparent resistance. an insider told the New York Post that things had calmed before the ‘cease and desist’ letter became public,and that Brooklyn “wants to do anything to make Nicola happy,but this is all getting out of control. I can’t imagine a world where Brooklyn wouldn’t want to see his parents again.”
David and victoria have reportedly accepted that Brooklyn currently does not wish to see them, but remain hopeful for a future reconciliation. “It is clear that Brooklyn is very keen to please Nicola but maybe, just maybe, he will at some point want to get back in touch with his parents,” a source said. “Nothing would make them happier.”
