Gay DJ Fat Tony shares what he claims really happened at the Peltz-Beckham wedding

DJ Fat Tony has weighed in on the most explosive drama of the year (so far!), the Peltz-Beckham family wedding debacle.

Speaking on ITV’s This Morning on Friday (23 January), DJ Fat Tony, whose real name is Tony Marnoch, shared his first-person eyewitness account of what exactly went down on the fateful night of Brooklyn Beckham’s much-discussed wedding.

In a series of Instagram story posts, Brooklyn claimed his mother, Victoria Beckham, “humiliated” him when she “danced very inappropriately on me.”

Speaking on This Morning, Fat Tony said “the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room,” as he recounted the events.

“There was no s**tdropping, there was no black cat PVC catsuits, there was no Spice Girl action.”

Pop star Marc Anthony performed at the wedding reception and Fat Tony claimed that he called Brooklyn to the stage.

“The next minute, everyone was expecting it to be Nicola to go up and do the first dance,” he said. Anthony then asked for “the most beautiful woman in the room” to join Brooklyn, then said Victoria’s name, instead of Brooklyn’s partner, Nicola.

‘The whole situation was very awkward.’

“Victoria is by the stage, she goes onto the stage, and of course at that point Brooklyn is suddenly, literally, devastated because he thought he was going to do his first dance with his wife.

“Then Nicola leaves the room crying her eyes out. Brooklyn is stuck there on stage.

“And then they do this dance and Marc Anthony’s going, ‘Put your hands on your mother’s hips’. It was a Latin thing.

“The whole situation was very awkward for everyone in the room.”

Fat Tony was asked if the actions were “inappropriate.” He responded: “If [Brooklyn] feels that it was inappropriate and awkward, it was inappropriate and awkward.”

Fat Tony also furthered that the newlyweds were “devastated” but the dance “is a very small part of a bigger problem” for the Beckham family.
