    Alana Hadid has claimed Nicola Peltz Beckham has been chasing fame "for a decade"

    The 40-year-old star is sister to models Gigi and Bella, as well as their eldest sister Marielle and 26-year-old brother Anwar, who dated Nicola for two years until 2018.


    The former couple split one year before she met now-husband Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, who shared an explosive statement this week attacking his own family.

    Photographer Eli Rezkallah commented on the statement: "Ending an eight paragraph rant about his family's dirty laundry with 'all we want is privacy' is all I need to know."

    And Alana replied: "Right and that girl doesn't want privacy she's been trying to be famous for a decade."

    In his Instagram statement, Brooklyn blasted his family and insisted he does "not want to reconcile" with mother Victoria Beckham or his dad, Sir David Beckham.

    He wrote: "I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

    "Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

    "I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

    While some people have supported Brooklyn after his statement, others lie comedian Katherine Ryan have been heavily critical.

    Speaking on her own Telling Everybody Everything podcast, she said: "I am on David and Victoria's side. As a parent, and as someone who has been a s***** young person, I think Brooklyn Beckham needs to grow up a little bit.

    "He is the first son of an absolute dynasty family, they are like a royal family in matching denims to us - and that comes with many privileges.

    "But of course it's complicated because you live your life in the public eye. fine, but I feel that he has benefited from this a lot and he doesn't seem to have the measured emotional intelligence to go, 'In many ways, this has been s***, but in many ways, this has created me with a beautiful life. My parents are not abusers. My parents performatively or otherwise say nice things about me and give me opportunities'.

    "I do think a lot of nepo babies struggle with not being able to reach - certainly not eclipse - the success of their parents.

    "I'm not seeing any of the gratitude in these posts."
