Nicola Peltz Beckham and her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, have been subject to rumours of a feud with the Beckham family for the past three years, and he finally confirmed that they have been drifting apart in a lengthy statement on his Instagram stories on 19 January.
However, this isn't the first time that the billionaire heiress has been part of a dramatic public fallout with her inner circle, as the 31-year-old has allegedly fallen out with some of her other high-profile friends, including one very prominent A-list star.

Celebrity hairstylist Justin Anderson worked with the actress during her press tour for Transformers: Age of Extinction in 2014, and had quite a lot to say in hindsight.
In 2019, he spoke to Jackie Schimmel on his podcast, In The Chair, and openly criticised Nicola, saying: "I remember this one time, the worst of the worst of the worst — there was this one little diva girl. She was the new Transformers girl, her name was Nicola Peltz… she is actually a monster."
He also commented publicly on an Instagram account called @bestofbravo, writing: "Brooklyn’s wife was one of the worst 'celebs' I’ve ever worked with. It’s her … she’s a baddddd apple. Everyone knows how close the Beckham family really is."
The hairstylist has also worked with Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, Kristin Cavallari, and Gwyneth Paltrow, and has since doubled down, taking to his Instagram stories multiple times to make accusations.
"I've worked with her," he claimed in a video. "Not nice. Not nice. I can say with my full chest, not good energy, bad news bears. And then, yeah, based on how many wedding planners she went through, I think she’s the issue."
He also shared his thoughts on the situation more widely, calling it "sad" and pointing out: "You can't take that back, the whole world is watching."
Nicola Peltz's fallout with A-list friend
However, her hairstylist isn't the only person with whom Nicola has had some tension. She and her husband were once incredibly close with Selena Gomez, and the three would often be plastered all over each other's social media pages.
Though they were once very close, this no longer appears to be the case, as Brooklyn and Nicola were not present at Selena's extravagant wedding to Benny Blanco in September 2025, nor were Selena and Benny present at the Peltz Beckhams' vow renewal the month before.
Both parties have become silent followers of one another on Instagram, even at major moments such as anniversaries or family deaths, where they used to frequently comment on each other's posts and express support for one another.

On the other hand, some of Nicola's friends have defended her against accusations of being toxic or controlling, including Rebecca Faria, a longtime friend who shared her real thoughts on social media, calling out people who were "judging" the actress as she "actually had the guts to walk away" from a toxic family.
"Nicola was the first to stand up for her values since she couldn’t care less about their fame or money!" she wrote, in screenshots shared by TMZ. She alleged that the Beckhams "started planting fake press to make her look bad in the public eye" after realising that they didn't have full control of the narrative.
