‘Be nice and don’t tell unnecessary lies’ – Middle Beckham son shares pointed message hours after Kim Turnbull denies romance with estranged brother
Romeo Beckham has posted a cryptic message about “unnecessary lies” just hours after his ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull broke her silence to deny ever dating his older brother Brooklyn amid the family’s bitter feud.
The 22-year-old footballer took to Instagram Stories to share a scene from the 1953 classic film Roman Holiday, showing Audrey Hepburn’s character declaring: “What the world needs is a return to sweetness and decency.”
But it was Romeo’s pointed caption that raised eyebrows: “Be nice to people and don’t tell unnecessary lies.”
KIM BREAKS HER SILENCE
The dramatic post came just hours after model and DJ Kim Turnbull, 26, issued an extraordinary statement addressing rumors that she had previously been romantically involved with Brooklyn, 26.
Breaking her silence after being blamed for the Beckham family rift, Kim wrote on Instagram: “I’ve avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it’s come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.
The DJ revealed she had been subjected to online harassment and trolling since the famous family’s fallout became public knowledge.
“I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative,” she declared.
‘JUST SCHOOL FRIENDS’
In a firm denial that appears to contradict insider reports about the source of the family tension, Kim stated: “I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question.
She added emphatically: “Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.”
Kim concluded her statement saying she wanted to “remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.
ROMEO AND KIM SPLIT
The pair’s romance “fizzled out” shortly after David Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday celebrations in May, with sources confirming they had split after just seven months together.
A friend told the Mail: “Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don’t always last forever and they decided to split up.”
The source added: “It’s a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn’t to be.”
THE BECKHAM FAMILY FEUD
Kim has been at the center of reports about a major rift between Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckham clan, with sources claiming she was the reason Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, skipped David’s milestone birthday parties.
According to TMZ, Brooklyn and Romeo have not been speaking for months because Romeo started dating Kim – with Brooklyn and Nicola questioning whether she had “the right intentions.”
One insider claimed: “Brooklyn didn’t want to be in the same room as her, and he told his dad that. But David opted to have Kim there over Nicola.”
BROOKLYN’S ABSENCE
The eldest Beckham son and his actress wife were noticeably absent from ALL FIVE of David’s 50th birthday celebrations across Miami, London, Paris, the Cotswolds, and Scotland.
They also skipped Victoria’s fashion show in Paris in March, where Kim was photographed sitting with the family.
The couple’s last known appearance at a Beckham family gathering was at Christmas.
LEGAL ACTION
Amid the swirling rumors, Brooklyn and Nicola have hired British lawyer Jenny Afia of Schillings law firm – previously used by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry – to combat what they call “deliberate misinformation.
A source told E! News: “It’s not for reputation management, but to set the record straight, combat spread of misinformation.
CRUZ WEIGHS IN
Adding another layer to the drama, youngest brother Cruz Beckham, 20, previously waded into the controversy by responding to an Instagram commenter: “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.
Multiple sources have since backed up this claim, though the damage to family relations appears to have already been done.
DAVID’S OLIVE BRANCH
Despite the tensions, David Beckham appeared to extend an olive branch to his eldest son on Father’s Day, posting a tribute that included Brooklyn and tagging him in comments.
“I love you all,” David wrote, specifically mentioning Brooklyn alongside wife Victoria and their other children.
However, while Romeo and Cruz responded with loving messages, Brooklyn remained notably silent.
MOVING FORWARD?
As the Beckham drama continues to captivate fans worldwide, Romeo’s cryptic post suggests the wounds from this family feud are far from healed.
With Kim now attempting to “move on” and Romeo calling out “lies,” the question remains whether Britain’s most famous family can repair their fractured relationships.
